Nails & feathers...

Hello my dear ones,

finally Honey wanted to get her nails done again and so we had to try something new of course. :)

When I´m doing my nails, I always prefer something simple cause it takes some time and efforts to do my right hand with the left one.
Even stamping drives me crazy by times. ;P

That´s why I like to try different stuff on Honey´s nails and so we decided to use feathers on her ring finger nails. Those are put on the full cover gel and covered with builder gel, which isn´t easy at all and I had a tough time with it since it was a first. The nails also became a it too thick but I couldn´t do it better and I hope you all bear with me. ;)

I ordered 4 new colours at Golden Nails and again I´m super satisfied with them. The texture and coverage are amazng and I will keep on loolking there for bargain.

Poori - Fried indian bread

Hello all my dear ones,

I neglected cooking a bit and am sorry for that. It was pure lack of time.
But finally I wanted to try something out this weekend and opted for poori, the fried indian bread. I think it´s famous served with poatoes but I like them with every indian curry and had it with my quick chicken curry. ;)

Well, I still need a lot of pratice but the taste is already really good. As far as I can rate.

The recipe is very simple, all you need is flour, salt and water.
But an indian friend told me to add some semolina to make them even more crispy.

So let´s go...

Ingredients für 6 to 8 pieces:

1 cup of flour (Atta)
1/2 tsp salt
lukewarm water
1-2 Tbsp semolina
Oil to fry


Method:

Put the flour, semolina and salt in a bowl and slowly add water.
Mix all together to get a soft dough. Add water little by little and make sure the dough becomes not too sticky neither too dry. Take your time, you should knead at least 10 to 15 minutes. You can also add 1 Tbsp of oil to the dough.

Now there are different opinions about allowing the dough to rest or not. I personally let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes on a warm place.
But you can proceed right away when you prefer.

So make small balls out of the dough, maybe golf ball size and then roll them out into small circles (still struggling with that ;) ) with thin to medium thickness. Don´t let them get too thin, they will only become hard/ crispy while frying.

Now I put them for 10 minutes into the fridge, that helps to avoid them soaking too much of oil and they become quite crsipy-soft.

 Meanwhile you heat up the oil and then fry them one after the other. If they don´t come up immediatley, the oil isn´t hot enough.

While the poori is coming up to the surface make sure that you ladle some oil on the top always, that will help to make them puff up.
Turn them around so that it evenly goldenbrown/ reddish.

Take them out and place them on a paper towel to drain oil.

 And then serve hot with your dish. :)

Maybe you give it a try?
If you have any questions or suggestion don´t hesitate to leave a comment below. :)

Back to pink!

Hello my dear ones,

can you believe it? It´s march already!
I have no clue where the last two months have gone but one thing is fore sure.. It was time for new nails.

After all the dark colours I needed something bright as spring is almost there. Well, this colour is calling for summer actually but I couldn´t resist.

Though I didn´t want to use glitter this time, I had to because after curing there were some bubbles on two of my nails. So I had to cover them with some glitter. 

I applied the colour gel really thin but it seems not thin enough on those two nails.
But anyways I think the result is still ok.

Products:

-Primer Soft -Nail Expert
-Bonding gel - Nail Expert
-Colou gel "Summer pink" - Jolifin
-Multiglitter - Jet Set Beauty
-Builder Gel - Nail Epert 
-Cleaner- Nail Expert
-Stamping polish white- Nail Expert
-Stamping pattern- Konad
-High Gloss Finish Gel -Nail Expert 

Today I also placed a new order at Golden Nails. As soon as the new colours reach me I will show them to you of course. 

Have a pleasent week ahead!

New gel, new art..

Hello my dear ones,

since I´m a bit of some colour gels from Jolifin, I searched the net for options.
I´m always reading comments and recommendations of professionals but unfortunaltey one can´t order in every store without a trade license.

But luckily it´s possible at Golden Nails and so I tried my luck. I read many good opinions about it and these are the 4 colours I chose: Nougat, Wicked & Mauve Mystic.

 

Delivery was super quick and I couldn´t wait to try the colours. Nothing special design wise.. but I had to know how they are to handle. 

I´m very satisfied with them, good coverage so that it´s possible to work in thin layers. 

Of course I had to do my own nails then too because I immediately fell in love with the colour Mauve Mystic. 

This time I took two pictures since the colour in the one with flash looks a bit different than in real.

This one is without flash: 

Used products:

-Primer soft - Nail Expert
-Base gel - Nail Expert
-Colour gel - Mauve Mystic - Golden Nails
-Glitter - Nail Expert

-Builder Gel - Nail Epert 
-Cleaner- Nail Expert
-Stamping polish white- Nail Expert
-Stamping pattern- Konad
-High Gloss Finish Gel -Nail Expert 


The most recommendable product for me is that High Gloss Finish Gel from Nail Expert. It´s a super shiny finish gel which lasts really long.

Have a lovely week everyone! 

Your SunShine
