Sorry for not blogging much...

Hi Everyone,

I am so sorry for not blogging for a while, I have been so busy at home. Painting the outside wood work, new roof gutters and now we are getting a new bathroom and toilet. So I have been living in a mess for a while...and it is not over yet. But the end will be great I hope.

I haven't even posted all my Halloween mani's that I did but I guess I'll just post them all now. I have been doing my nails once or maybe twice a week so still plenty to show you all.

Halloween 2015 scenery. 

A bright gradient base with China Glaze Neon & On & On, China Glaze That's Shore Bright and Color Club Pucci-licious. Everything on my nals is stamped with MoYou Nails 304 plate. Stamped and colored using Konad and Mdu polishes.

Blood drips.

Catherine Arley 806 as a base, stamped the blood drips with MdU Reddish and the skull with Konad White. Both images are from Nailways Monsters- Halloween plate.

Candy and cute ghost.

A gradient with Nailways 132 Spiked and 133 Ponytail stamped with Konad black and BM306 and the cute little Trick or Treating ghost is from Stampaholics ST02.

Gothic graveyard.

 When I thought of this theme the colors red and black popped in my head :)  So I did a red and black gradient base using China Glaze Cranberry Splash and Catherine Arley 805. Stamped with BM13 the bat and crosses, BM409 the creepy trees, BM413 the skeleton, BM H07 the skull and BM224 the creepy house next to the graveyard. Freehanded the moon, the small crosses and all the tiny eyes.

Witch slime.

Just something quick and easy.  Base Barry M 299 Racing Green. Stamped with MdU Avocado and FUN20 and the little witch is from Bunny Nails HD-D. Happy I got to borrow my sis her Bunny plates again.

I promise to post more often.

Thanks for reading.

A witching time at night when everything might bite

Hi everyone,

Today I'll show you my Bundlemonster contest entry :) I've made 2 weeks ago and I could not choose which one I wanted to enter in the contest, this one or the The trees get eyes when the moon begins to rise so I posted it in a nail group and the lovely members helped me choose by voting on which one they liked best. And this mani had more votes :)

You can see all the entries of this Halloween contest here. You can vote on all the entries you like and you can vote every day till October 23rd. If you like mine I am on page 10 ;) They are in the order of how they were submitted (I believe) so on page 11 the first entries and page 1 the last entries.

You also had to give it a title so I called them "A witching time at night when everything might bite".   During Halloween everything might be haunted and can get freaky even the cutest things like a bunny. So I made a Halloween scenery where everything is freaky and haunted even a cute bunny that is now "evil".

Sponged the base with 4 Konad stamping polishes SN pastel blue, SN sky pearl, SN blue and SN royal purple, painted the sky (with different colored brush strokes)  the moon, tree trunks and the little cross. Stamped with BM04 (cat), parts of BM12 (leaves, branches), BM13 (cross, bats, witch), BM20 (stars), BM302 (devil bunny haha) and BM305 (pumpkins, house and the part of the devil to make the bunny evil) colored some images and dotted yellow eyes.

I only have the first and 3rd BM set so I had to get creative with the images :)

Here is the direct link to my entry A witching time at night when everything might bite  but you can always look mine up on page 10 :) Remember to vote for all you like (I am also voting for my fellow nail friends who entered) and you can vote every day.

If you are on a phone and it doesn't work try this:  http://www.bundlemonster.com/cirquedufreakcontestentry I am on page 10.

Thank you so much for reading (and maybe voting too) :)

Everything is Haunted!

Happy Halloween Everyone,

 

This holiday isn't really celebrated here in Holland but I do like it a lot  and wish it was a real holiday here too:) (and like you could see in my previous post I went to a Halloween party last weekend) I love making Halloween themed nails, so today I'll show you another creation: a haunted village :) on a sunset gradient base.

 

A 3 color gradient with Catherine Arley 806, 800 and 673 (just painted not sponged) Did sponge the black with Konad SN black. Stamped with SN yellow and SN black and used a lot of plates ;)

Pinkie: bat BM13, tree HB33 and cat HB28.

Ring finger: moon M16 (the middle of the button and colored the 4 holes), witch, ghost and pumpkin HB28, cross BM13.

Middle finger: bat C04 (Konad Coraline plate), tree HB33, house BM305.

Index: ghosts HB28, cross M18 (made of the letter T), pumpkin BM305.

Thumb: moon HB012 (part of a christmas ball), witch BM13, small bats HB28, little village HB33.

 

Some images like the pumpkins I first stamped in yellow, colored them in, and then stamped over it in black. Used a dotting tool for the eyes and windows.

 

 Different light.

 

 Before topcoat and before I damaged the pumpkin in the shower :P

 

 Without topcoat.

 

Also some swatches of the gradient base.

 

I love gradients especially holo ones :)

 

A month ago while we were on vacation we lost our oldest pet rat Trouble. And Valley stayed behind very sad and lonely, so when we got back we had to buy some new friends for her. So we got Hope and Faith :) Here you see 3 months old Faith... see wanted to play in the haunted village too ;)

 

 Can I play in the haunted nail village too? Please? It looks like fun.

 

 Let me in!

 

 I'll lick my way in...I want to scare people too...Muawhahaha.

 

 Yummy yummy that ghost tastes funny ;)

 

Let's visit the graveyard.

I know some people are scared of rats, but they really are sooo sweet and smart. Hope I didn't scare any of my followers away by posting rat pics...but to scare people on Halloween is allowed isn't it ;) But really they only give kisses, so no need to be afraid :)

Have a nice Halloween!

Black Cats under a Full Moon

Hi lovely readers,

The challenge this Sunday on Adventures in Stamping was Halloween themed, so a perfect excuse for me to make something Halloweenish (is that a word? ;)) A had many ideas and also some cool self made Hello Kitty Halloween decals. But I decided to go for the full moon and black cats. I also really wanted to use one of my franken polishes I made with many polishes and Spectraflair.

Base a blue franken mixed a lot of blue polishes with some Spectraflair. Stamped "the moon" with SN yellow and imageplate HB012 (it actually is a Christmas ball hahaha. The rest I stamped with SN black using HB28, Konad Coraline plates C01, C02, C04, BM13. Made yellow eyes with a dotting tool. And stamped some silver stars with Essence silver stampy polish and M14 (you see the stars better on the picture below).

 Without flash under artificial light.

 And another one.

Also some swatches of my blue franken holo, I put in a really small empty Konad mini stamping polish bottle :)

I have a weakness for blue polishes and I really like this blue :)

Thank you for reading.

Spiderweb nails and some funny dressed up photos

Hi everyone,

Today some older nails I made in february this year for Carnival. They did not turned out the way I wanted but it was just for a day and suited my Carnival outfit. Will show some pictures of how we (my sis, my BF and I) looked liked that day :)

Base Essence 78 Right, Girl stamped BM13 and SN white and M28 and SN black. I couldn't get a good picture so the spiders kinda disappeared on the base with the flash. 

Some swatches of this red base.

And some pictures of how we look liked, it was so much fun painting my BF's face this way. My sister already bought her costume in December and really wanted to be a vampire, so we had to find something that suited hers a bit. I did not had too much to spend so just added some spiders everywhere on my hat and neckless, earings and clothes and make up.

It was really funny to dress up a bit (not my clothes (those I normally wear too) but the hat, gloves, spiders everywhere and make up :)

Enjoy your day!
