Come find me on Instagram!

Hi everyone!

It's been ages since I've written here on the blog. I'm not even sure I still know how all this works on Blogger lol. I'll be writing a bit more here below but this post comes down to this: after a 5 year break I am back, and you can find me on Instagram which is now my main outlet for my nail art and swatches! My username is roaring_nails



A few years ago I suddenly quit the blog: I got a very fun internship after my studies, and they even offered me a permanent position afterwards. It's still where I work today, 5 years later! The switch from school life to work life was overwhelming and suddenly I was incredible busy without time for my nails. In the beginning I thought I was just taking a break for a few weeks so it wasn't necessary to post anything about taking a small break on the blog. However, weeks turned into months and after a while it just become too embarrassing to make a post about taking a break, seeing as I had been taking a break for quite a while then haha :D

4 years went by with my rarely painting my nails anymore. I started biting them again (the reason I got into nail art was to stop biting), and last Summer I decided I wanted to have pretty nails again. I started up my IG account again, slapped on some polish, and after a few weeks of doing my nails I found to courage to get back in the game.

A lot of polish blogs I followed a few years ago aren't around anymore, and so are a lot of indie brands I used to buy from sadly. But I have met amazing new people who share this passion for nail art, and have found uncountable new indie brands I want polishes from so badly :D

Anyway, that's it for now. I just wanted to let everyone here know that I am around again, and that even though this blog won't be active anytime soon you can find all my new designs over on my Instagram page.

Hope to see you there!
X, Robin.

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I've posted here - I'm sorry. Life has been changing for me, and I still find it hard to combine work and social life. Most days I'm so tired I just fall down on the couch after work haha (and not so haha actually).

However, I still have some products to review for Born Prety Store, so I got my lazy ass to work! First up are these tribal water decals.

Hiii!

I've been absent for the past 2 weeks - big oops. I've been busy with work and then in the weekends I'm busy not working and relaxing and seeing friends, so I didn't have much time to blog.

However, I bring you a lovely polish today! I'm reviewing my last Shimmer Polish (boohoo sad face).

Royal Purple Stamping

*Disclaimer: some items in this blog post have been previously received for review.



Hi everyone!

I'll be showing you a new polish today, but first I have some life stuff to share with you! You'll probably remember my Summer of Guest Posts, where I had amazing guest posts on my blog on Saturdays during the Summer, because I was very busy with an internship at that time. Thanks again btw to the lovely ladies who helped me out!!

Now, the most amazing thing has happened: my intership offered my a job!! I loved working there during my internship, so I was super happy when I could stay even longer (and get paid for it, haha!) However, this means I'll only have time for nail art during my Weekends, so I'll probably be posting only once a week here instead of twice, like I used to do. On the bright side though: I have a job :D *insert ABBA 'Money Money Money'*

I hope you'll all stick with me while I'm still adjusting to this new work rythm, and well, I just wanted to share this really great news with all of you :)

Now, for the nail art!
