Liberation Day 2015

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for not blogging very often, I promise to do it more again. Things just have been kinda busy and I 've been sick. But I still have lots and lots of mani's to show you, like a couple of Rock 'n' Roll mani's, mani's with my first Mundo polishes, mani's with a couple of my new MoYou nails plates (the round ones), also some with my first Chez Delaney plates and lots more ;) And ofcourse I also still have many older mani's to show from before I started blogging.

I have been posting more on my instagram: https://instagram.com/dianavnisselroy/ 

Today May 4th  is remembrance of the dead and tomorrow May 5th we celebrate Liberation Day with lots of music festivals across the country. Ofcourse I had to make a mani. And I'll be going to one of the music festivals, there is one in every county/province. It is always fun to celebrate our freedom with some amazing free live music. Lots of great bands/artists are coming.

Base is Sinful Colors Black on Black. With the flames representing the liberation fire (FUN7), the stripes in the colors of the Dutch flag red white and blue (Konad M44), the words 'free' and 'music' cause we have our freedom and can celebrate and enjoy it by listen to music or express yourself through music (MoYou 115) and the guitar cause I love listen to live music and will be going to the Liberation festival tomorrow (Cheeky Jumbo 5 Musical nails). All stamped using Mundo polishes.

Giving 2 little girls a mani and pedi

Hi Everyone,

This Summer the granddaughters of my dads girlfriend came to visit me for a mani and pedi. It was right before they went on holiday. The 6 years old girl wanted fairytale style and the 7 years old girl wanted vacation nails with a caravan cause they went on vacation with their own caravan. They had such tiny nails and it was hard for them to sit still, so not the greatest clean up.  But they were happy with them :) And I had so much fun doing their nails. I also did the nails of their grandma.

I used plates from Nailways, Moyou, Stampaholics, Konad, Cheeky etc. Don't remember exactly which ones.   

 They also wanted a nail tip with glow in the dark polish with their names on it and some studs/stones. 

Princess nails.

Vacation nails.

Princess pedi.

Vacation pedi.

Hands and feet together.

Their mani's were inspired my some of my own mani's :)

And the nails of their grandma.

Thanks Myrte, Britt and Ria for the fun day and letting me do your nails.

Thanks for reading.

Earth Day

Hi Everyone,

Just a short post today with my mani for Earth day. I did these really quick before Easter on my right hand (always hard to take a good pic of my right hand haha). It is the same gradient as my bunnies in the garden. Not much later I removed this and also did the bunnies on this hand. Cause I wanted cute bunnies on both hands with Easter haha. But I also did wanted to do an Earth Day mani :) 

A 4 colored gradient base (China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, P2 Who cares?, OPI Bikini Envy and China Glaze I'm with the lifeguard) over a China Glaze Snow. Stamping using CH33 (recycle), FUN2 (earth), Winstonia W104 (Earth Day) and Cheeky XL L (panda). Using Konad SN green, SN blue, SN black, SN white and China Glaze Towel Boy Toy.

Easter Bunnies playing in the garden :)

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago I did a Cats playing in the garden mani, but now since it is almost Easter I wanted to do a Easter Bunnies playing in the Garden mani too :) You all know how much I love doing sceneries/landscape nails. And nails which tell a story ;)

Here they are playing in the garden looking for the Golden egg and making new friends with the little chick (that just hatched from his egg see my previous blog).

The neon green grass was hard to photograph and on my mobile I don't even see it, but I do see it pretty well on the computer :)

I took some more pictures with different lighting so you can all see.

A 4 colored gradient base (China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, P2 Who cares?, OPI Bikini Envy and China Glaze I'm with the lifeguard) over a China Glaze Snow. All stamping and coloring using many many many plates and parts of it and a little freehand. 

HB32 (flowers), HB38 (little eggs and little bunny), Konad M29 (part of the ananas for the grass, Konad M66 (higher grass) Bundle Monster BM-H10 (big bunnies and carrot), Cheeky Jumbo XL L (wave basket with eggs), Nailways Snowwhite Weather Forecast (sun), Moyou Mother Nature 01 (other grass and butterfly), Winstonia W105 (big egg) and Winstonia W212 (little chick). Using many Konad polishes (white, black, yellow, psyche green, psyche orange, pastel pink, pastel green, pastel blue, pastel yellow, pastel violet, brown, orange pearl, green, and magenta) and Essence A Piece of Forever for stamping, dotting and coloring.

Here you see the neon green grass and stuff better.

I really liked this mani :) the bright colors, the gradient, the cute animals :)

Thanks for watching/reading.

Happy Easter to you all!

Bad Hair Day

Hi Everyone,

Today something fun, I did this last week. As you all know I love being challenged and get creative, I was invited for a "Bad Hair Day" contest over at Upload And Share Your Own Nail Art Creations and felt so honored (she is amazing). I was challenged to think outside the box and use unusual things for nail art. So I used my own hair haha :)

"The moment you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror (pinkie)
Trying to brush and comb your hair (ring finger) 

But nothing works you are having a bad hair day (middle finger) 

Blow drying, combing, brushing...you even consider cutting because nothing works (index finger) 

But then you make the cutest braid with bows (thumb) 

And you bad hair day is saved"

We had to include a paper with a smiley face on it so she could see it was new and made for her contest :)

Gradient with Essence Show your feet Flamingo rose, Konad SN pastel violet and Essie Full Steam Ahead. Stamped the mirror from Moyou Princess 07 and colored it with a mini silver from Color Club, stamped the comb, brush, sciccors, blowdryer, hand mirror from parts of Cheeky CH40. Stamped and colored the girl on Moyou Suki 10 and used a little freehand coloring, adjusting her hair and eyes.  And added my own real hair on my middle finger and made a little braid in my own hair cut it off and paste it on my thumb haha LOL Also added one silver and one pink fabric bow.

Also a picture without the smiley face.

And this what it look liked without my own hair.

And some swatches of just the pink and lilac gradient base.

I had so much fun doing this :)

Thanks for reading.

Olympics Sochi 2014

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to make a Olympic mani to support my country :) Ofcourse I had to use orange (our national color) and our Dutch flag and since the Dutchies are very good at speed ice skating I had to do something with ice skates but since I don't own any of those images I had to improvise LOL (see details below).  

Base Barry M multiglitter 333 and a sponged accent nail in the Olympic colors (Konad SN blue, SN yellow, SN green and SN red). Konad SN white sponged tips and sponged over that with Konad PSN psyche orange.  Stamped the Sochi Olympic logo from MJ XXIV tester plate in Konad SN black. Stamped the rest with Konad SN white. Made the medal with the part of the pink ribbon image on FUN1 and Cheeky CH48 using Essence A Piece of Forever. For the ice skating guy I used part of an image on MJ XXIV tester plate and gave him skates using a dotting tool and part of the helicopter image on FUN1. I also did not had a big ice skate so I used the roller skate on MJ XXV removed the wheels and again used a dotting tool and stamped part of the helicopter from FUN1 to make it look like an ice skate haha :)The cheering guy is from MJ XXIV tester plate too. Made the Dutch flag with stripes from FUN7 stamping them all seperately using Konad SN red, SN white and SN blue.

I find it fun to look at the plates I do have trying to think of what I can use to make a certain image...always very challenging. The result ain't perfect but it was still fun to do :)

Our small country already won 12 medals with ice skating.

Thanks for reading.

Truckstar festival in July

Hi Everyone,

In July my boyfriend and I always go to the Truckstar festival, it's not really my thing but he really likes that so I always go there once a year. Today I'll show you the mani/pedi I've made for that and some Truck pics (I do always like the special paint and it's nail art inspiration haha).

Base Aly's Dream Polish 22 hottest pink (such pretty bright pink holo) Stamped with Kleancolor metallic black and Cheeky CH 51 (the stars) and made a sort of Truck from the Locomotive image on Nailways A-NW00012 Vive la vie -Vacation. I removed parts of it and added white for the wheels and window.

Another picture.

Since it was Summer I had to make a matching pedi too :)

I really like this Aly's Dream polish here some swatches.

If you like it too go check out her FB page: Aly's Dream Polish you can find a link to her shop there too.

And some pictures of some of the Trucks we have seen. 

 This paint would be an amazing multichrome nailpolish haha.

I love the husky's.
