♥ Spring Showers and April Flowers ♥

Hi everyone,

Today I'll show you a Spring Showers and April Flowers creation. This is one of my favourite creation I ever made :) It's a mani and pedi on both hands and feet. I made this for the contest of OCnailart on their facebook page. It was one of the the rules that it had to be on both hands and feet. It's an all Konad contest so only imageplates from Konad are used to make this. And the theme is Spring Showers and April Flowers. In springtime you need the showers for the flowers, so I made a happy spring flower landscape/scenery and on my ring finger a spring shower ;) with rain and dark clouds.

First my left hand.

The base is Essence You Rock 05 Speed of Light Blue (sky) and OPI Bikini Envy (grass) on top of those there are holo polishes (I just love holo) Nubar Absolute (sky) and Golden Rose Holographic 115 (grass). The ring finger is a mixed of Catherine Arley with Nubar Absolute (darker sky) and Nubar Reclaim with Golden Rose Holographic 115.

I'll try to explain finger by finger what I've used for stamping.

Pinkie: M23 for the plants with orange flower (SN green and SN dark orange), M32 for the white flower with leafs (SN white and SN green) M78 for the butterfly (SN blue and PSN psyche pink) and M79 for the clouds (SN white). With a dotting I made the SN dark orange dot in the white flower.

Ring finger: M13 (the blood drops) for the rain (SN royal purple), M29 (the top of the pineapple) for the grass (SN green), M32 for the flower with leafs (PSN cool red and SN green), M79 for the clouds (SN white mixed with SN black) and Konad Coraline imageplate C05 for the mouse (SN black). With a dotting I made the SN yellow dot in the red flower.

Middle finger: M29 (the top of the pineapple) for the grass (SN green), M32 for the 4 flowers with leafs (SN dark orange, SN white, PSN cool red), M66 for the higher grass (SN green), M79 for the clouds (SN white) and Konad Coraline imageplate C01 for the sun (SN yellow). With a dotting I made the SN yellow and SN dark orange dots in the flowers.

Index: M5 for the dragonfly (SN blue and SN pink pearl), M23 for the plants by the water (SN green),M29 (the top of the pineapple) for the grass (PSN olive green), M66 for the lily pad (SN green), M79 for the clouds (SN white) and Konad Coraline imageplate C05 for the frog that is jumping away (SN green). Sponged the water with SN pastel blue and added some Nubar Absolute on top.

Thumb: M1 for the duck, first stamped it with SN yellow then tried to color it with SN yellow, stamped it again with PSN light gray,M32 for the flower (PSN cool red) M66 for the lily pad and higher grass (SN green), M79 for the clouds (SN white). Sponged the water with SN pastel blue and added some Nubar Absolute on top. With a dotting tool I made the SN black eyes on the duck and his SN dark orange feet and beak and also the SN yellow dot in the flower.

My right hand:

I used the same imageplates and stamping polished and tried to mirror the image when it was possible.

And now my feet :) (for those of you who don't like feet...skip this part :))

The base is also Essence You Rock 05 Speed of Light Blue (sky) and OPI Bikini Envy (grass) on top of those there are holo polishes (I just love holo) Nubar Absolute (sky) and Golden Rose Holographic 115 (grass).

Big toe: M29 (the top of the pineapple) for the grass (SN green), M32 for the flowers (SN yellow), M66 for the higher grass (SN green), M78 for the butterfly (PSN cool red and SN blue) and M79 for the clouds (SN white). With a dotting I made the SN dark orange dots in the flowers.

Rest of my toes: M79 for the clouds (SN white).

Left hand and foot.

Everything together.

And here you can see my entry for the contest from OCnailart on their facebook page. The photo had to include the supplies you've used.

I hope you all like it? It did took me some time but I am very happy with the result. I made this a few weeks ago, but my feet still look like that :) The contest ends April 30th so you all could still enter too :)

Inspired by music/song challenge (Bon Jovi)

Today I'll show you my creations I made for the inspired by your favourite music/song challenge. I don't really have one favourite band or music style but I do like these songs for many years now. And my mom also liked Bon Jovi especially the song Bed of Roses.

This is my 1st for this challenge inspired by these lyrics:

  

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up.

Bon Jovi - Always

I actually found this one funny... it tells a story ;) But not pretty and I only had this on one hand and went out the door with it, with on my other hand something completely different ;)

It's been raining and the water level is rising on each finger. On my ring finger a girl who's been left by her boyfriend looking sad waving goodbye with a broken heart. And the water level keeps on rising and on my thumb it's at the top. And the girl just gave up looking sad/angry she is drowning in the flood (all the bubbles of her last breath).

Base China Glaze Moody Blue, water sponged with PSN sky blue on top a layer of Maybelline Bolt of blue 140 for the glitter. Rain stamped with Konad SN blue and M13, waves to make it more look like water from H20 (SN pastel blue), broken heart from M18 (made it broken myself) girls from Coraline C02 and C05 (SN black pearl), bubbles from M16, M34 and M35 (SN blue, black pearl).

My 2nd creation was also from a song from Bon Jovi and I did these because it was also one of my moms favourite songs.

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is,
and lay you down on a bed of roses.

Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses

These I found a lot prettier ;) and did it on both hands and I'm still wearing it.

Somehow I really love blue and I was in a blue mood so I chose for a blue base again. Base is Teeez Cool 02 a blue holographic polish and on my ring finger Nfu Oh 65 a light blue holo. I stamped some roses from M65 with SN black pearl on them and on my ring finger a love couple (self made water decal) from a guy who'd love to lay his girl on a bed of roses ;) also stamped a blue rose from M25 with SN blue and SN black pearl above them.

I know there is a lot more to the song then just that one sentence, but I only used the Bed of Roses part literally for this creation ;)

I hope you like my music inspired creations :)

My Halloween nails from last year

Like I said in my previous post we don't celebrate Halloween here but I do like making Halloween nails. So here is my creation of last year. It is a bit of a mixed theme Halloween/Fall.

 

I'm wearing OPI My Privat Jet. I used Konad Coraline plates C01, C02, C04, C05 and M28, M31.

The animals I stamped with SN white, the leafes with SN yellow, SN apple green, SN orange and SN cool red.
