Snow globes :)

Hi Everyone :)

Today I'll show you my first winter nails :) Nail polish Canada invited me again to join their Holiday challenge, just like last year. I always feel honored when they invite me to join. And I love joining even though I am not eligible for the prizes (since I am not in the US or Canada). Maybe you are allowed to just give an US/Canada address, I don't know that. But just joining is already a lot of fun with or without prizes :) 

The theme of this first week is Snow you can see all the participants by clicking the snow link. So I decided to make snow globe nails hahaha. I saw some snow globes online and I wanted to make that on my nails. And since I am a stamping girl...it is all done with stamping :) 

It was hard to capture so my thumb is in an oblique angle. And it isn't all perfect and neat but I still like it :)

Basea beautiful blue holo polish... Jade Hypnose. Stamped with Bundle Monster BM320 and BM07 (peace signs) the snow globes and colored them with white blue and silver and a little glitter topcoat. Stamped the globe/bulb standard with Konad M19 (part of the french tip) first in white went over it with red. Used QA19 from Born Pretty Store for the reindeer, house, snowman and golden snowflakes on the standard. Winstonia W115 for the penguin. HB33 for the little Christmas trees. And dotted white snowflakes. I used Konad black, white, pastel blue, silver, brown, yellow, red, green, pastel orange and Essence A piece of forever for stamping (stamping decals), coloring and dotting.

And some swatches of this pretty blue holo polish.

You can still join the Nail polish Canada challenge and also vote for your favorite on their website.

I am already looking foward to next weeks theme, I always like these challenges.

Thank you for reading :)

Have a nice weekend!

And some more pictures of this.

Two pictures made at the festival:

And of course I did a matching pedi too :) don't mind my sandy toes...I took this later in the train when I came back from the beach ;)

May 5th is Liberation Day

Hi Everyone,

On May 5th we celebrate our Liberation Day, that means big music parties all over our country :) There are 14 Liberation festival across the country (at least one in each of our 12 province), with lots of stages with bands, music, drinks, food. And hopefully some nice sunny weather :) The logo of the Liberation fesitval is a blue torch with red flame see this inspired by the colors of our Dutch flag, red, white and blue. The Liberation fire is everywhere. So I wanted to do something with fire and our flag colors too (although I don't really like that color combo) But I did my best to make it look cool hahaha. Tomorrow on May 4th it's Remembrance Day.

Base a white polish from Essence with a layer of Glitter Gal Light as a Feather. Stamped with Konad SN red and SN blue and Cheeky CH52 (I stamped both parts separately) On my thumb I made a torch from the baseball bat from CH35 and fire from BM07 stamped with SN dark orange, SN yellow and SN blue. Made the word 5 mei (which means May 5th) from letters of MM03 and the platenumber of a Konad plate.

Another pic without the thumb.

And my whole hand.

I am hoping for some nice weather, cause I really love music festivals but not so much when it's raining :P

For all the Dutch people who read my blog..did you make any Liberation nails? And are you going to a Liberation Festival?

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Thanks for reading.

Liberation Day (Bevrijdingsdag)

Yesterday we celebrated Liberation Day here in Holland. There were 14 Liberation festival across the country (at least one in each of our 12 province/counities), with lots of stages with bands, music, drinks, food...one big party. The logo of the Liberation fesitval is a blue torch with red flame. I wanted to make decals of it but since a couple of months our printer is still broken...so I had to think of something else ;)

The blue base is my first franken a mix of lots of polishes and on my ring finger P2Ship Ahoi! 010 Pure White. Like I said the logo is a liberation fire/torch. So I made some sort of torch with BM07 (Konad SN red, yellow, black0 and the tower from BM15 (SN blue) upside down haha, the other flames are from Konad M63 (SN white).

You can see my inspiration here: Liberation Torch

Here a swatch of my first dark blue holo franken. Waht I remember they were: 3 blue ones from China Glaze (dark blues Up all night and a other one and a neon from the Poolside collection), China Glaze Sexagon, Catrice topcoat Million styles topcoat 08 Icy day (China Glaze fairy dust dupe), China Glaze wireless holographic topcoat, P2 topcoat, a dark blue from Seventeen, a dark blue metallic like from Flormar, Color Club worth the risque, and loose silver holo glitter powder (not spectraflair).

 It's in a empty Konad topcoat bottle I don't have any empty bottles and little balls for shaking so all the glitter went to the bottom. I made this a few months ago.

Have a nice week everyone!

Some older summer creations :)

Today I'll show you a couple of older orange summer creations that I made before I had a blog. They both are not really special and I wasn't a big fan of these creations ;)

I made this in June 2010. Base China Glaze Peachy Keen, stamped with Konad SN yellow and image plate M51 (see photo below for only the stamping) and some self made summer decals of icecream, flip flops and a sun.

Here you can see only the stamping it was very subtle.

A swatch of China Glaze Peachy Keen.

Here another summer creation from August 2010.

Base Essence LE Return to Paradise 04 Fruity Punch, stamped with Bundlemonster plates BM01 and BM07 with Konad SN yellow and SN dark orange. Ring finger 2 yellow rhinestones.

Here a swatch of Fruity Punch.
