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) :)

New Years Eve nails from the last years

Hi Everyone,

 

I thought let's show you my New Years Eve nails of the last couple of years. Still have to think of something for this year, not yet sure about the base color.

 

Here you see them all together.

 

Let's start with my New Years Eve nails from last year 2011. I did not wanted to use the word "Happy" then since my mom just died...and happy was the last thing on my mind. I posted these nails in this blog post, where also wrote about my mom :( and showed the nails I made for the funeral.

 

 Base China Glaze Ruby pumps. Stamped some sort of fireworks with XL plate F and China Glaze 2030, Essence stampy silver and Konad SN white. The letters 2012 are from M20 and M12 of Konad big demo plate.

 

And now my New Years Eve nails from 2010 :) You can see the swatches and more pictures in this blogpost.

 

Base Sally Hansen - 16 Blue it, on top I did a coat of CND effects Crimson sparkle. I stamped the fireworks with BM20 and Konad SN pastel violet, pastel blue, pastel pink, pastel yellow, pastel orange and PSN apple green. Used the numbers from the sides of plate M20 and M11.The word Happy from M43 in different Konad SN pastel colors. For my thumb I used M46 for the word happy and the numbers from the big demo plate.

 

And also my New Years Eve nails from 2009. My nails were really long then. You can see more pictures in this blogpost.

 

Base China Glaze Eyes like Sapphires. Stamped with Konad SN silver little stripes from M72. The firework flowers with SN pastel blue and white M54. The text Happy with SN pastel blue and M43. For my thumb I used M46 for the text and M38 for the glasses. The numbers I made with the numbers on the side of imageplates M20 and M10 on the big demo plate.

 

Of course I will show my New Years Eve nails that I make this year too, but I think that will be Monday.

 

Thanks for reading enjoy your weekend!

P2 Denim Delight 020 Navy Washed Denim with nail art

A couple of weeks ago I saw the P2 Denim Delight LE in Germany I sooo loved the polishes and I got 2 from my boyfriend. In the bottle I could see that they seem to cover really well and maybe I could stamp with them ;) They also reminded me of the OPI suede polishes. I got 020 Navy Washed Denim and 030 Indigo Denim.

First the nail art photo :)

Base is 020 Navy Washed Denim from the P2 Denim Delight LE. Love this color and it's semi matte (suede) finish. Stamped with BM20 and China Glaze Up all night and BM06 and Konad SN white. On my ring finger two blue rhinestones.

Here some swatches:

Here a comparison with matte topcoat and a OPI suede polish.

On the left on top P2 030 Indigo Denim with Essie matte topcoat, right OP suede We'll always have Paris. As you can see the finish looks the same, the Indigo Denim reminds me of a blue OPI suede polish. The second one on the left is P2 030 Indigo Denim normal and below is 020 Navy Washed Denim normal. I really love the finish of these with or without matte topcoat, but with matte topcoat they look even more like OPI suede.

Happy 2011

I wish you all a happy, healthy 2011 with a lot of nail polish and nail art :) Here are as promised my current Happy New Year nails, like I said I've used a dark blue nail polish again.

As a base I'm wearing Sally Hansen - 16 Blue it, I got this color as a present/souvenir from my mom and dad from Fuertaventura (Canary Islands) it just needed one coat. On top I did a coat of CND effects Crimson sparkle. It is really diffucult to get that effect showing in a picture. I stamped the fireworks with BM20 used Konad SN pastel violet, pastel blue, pastel pink, pastel yellow, pastel orange and PSN apple green. Like last year I stamped the text Happy from plate M43 using different pastel stamping polishes. Used the numbers from the sides of plate M20 and M11. For my thumb I used M46 and the numbers from the big demo plate.

I had a hard time taking a good picture.

Here a swatch of Sally Hansen - 16 Blue it.

One coat (don't mind my ringfinger I damaged it a bit)

Here a swatch with CND Crimson sparkle, it is a weird picture but I just couldn't get the effect showing in a picture.

Happy New Year everyone and be careful with fireworks!
