Christmas 2011: Chococat in a Christmas ball :)

Hello Everyone,

Like I said yesterday I made Christmas ball decals again in 2011. Did this during my blogging break, while my mom was really sick. I also did Chococat decals this year, Chococat in the stocking..saying I wanted a kitty for Christmas. I used that same Chococat image in 2011 but than placed in balls instead of stockings :)

Base Essence 50's Girls Reloaded 04 Love me Tender. Self made/ designed water decals of Chococat in Christmas balls. Stamped with Konad M76 and SN yellow, SN psyche pink, SN green, SN blue and SN red.

I really liked the color but did not liked the finish and it was a bit brush strokey ;) But luckily those weren't showing all the time. See swatches.

Thanks for reading.

Christmas 2009: Disney Christmas balls

Hi Everyone,

 

I am blogging more then normal, but I need the distraction so much these days. I really feel bad and miss my mom so much and the closer Christmas gets the closer the day she died gets too :( And I still have a lot of older Christmas nails to show you. So this means more blogposts from me :)

Today I'll show you an oldie again :) Made in 2009. I just love Disney and made these cute decals.

 

Base OPI Give me the Moon. Self made water decals of Disney characters in a Christmas ball. The bows are stamped with Konad M7 and SN green, SN violet pearl, PSN psyche pink, SN red and SN blue.

 

And some swatches of this pretty grey.

 

I think this is a pretty color. I did some Christmas balls decals in 2011 too, will show those tomorrow ;)

Fashion Inspired: Christmas dress...FAIL ;)

Hello Hello,

I made these nails last friday. I had so much fun making my Zebra Black and White gradient nails for Wacky Laki's Inspired by Fashion contest that I wanted to do another one again. But I was happy that I've sent in the zebra one and not this one, because this really was a fail. You can see all the amazing entries and vote for your favorite by clicking here. If you like mine I am entry number 7 :)

Now back to my fail Fashion inspired Christmas dress nails ;) You know I told you I really like Danbo the cardboard box guy? Well Danbo helped me with these nails...lol see the pictures below. I can blame him for the fail :P haha.

Base Golden Rose Paris Magic 308 (a gorgeous shimmer red that is hard to photograph) Saran wrapped with China Glaze Snow. Stamped with Konad SN white and M9 and the bow from the candy cane on M12 in SN red.

I really did not liked how the saran wrapped nails turned out...you can still see where my inspiration is coming from, but I removed these nails the same night..lol. I did not wanted to spent my Saturday with these nails ;)

A picture of the Christmas dress.

And my nails again.

Of course some swatches of the red base...that was really hard to capture. You still see a bit of visable nail line. But it really is a pretty red.

Here the cute pictures of Danbo helping me with the Saran wrap..lol.

The dark days before Christmas!

Hi Everyone,

 

Today I'll show you something I made last year in me blogging break. It were the dark days before Christmas....not knowing Christmas it self would be even darker and my mom would actually die on 2nd Christmas day :( I know most of you know she died last year and I really find it difficult to handle especially these days and that Christmas is coming closer. So I'll just distract my self with blogging, doing my nails more often ;) and entering challenges/contest for the fun :)

But for today a creation from last year :)

 

Base Color Club Totaly Mystery. Sponged with Konad SN white. The little houses and trees are stamped with HB33 and the tiny snowflakes come from HB23, all stamped with Konad SN white.

 

Here some swatches of this beautiful blue base, I got it from a friend.

 

 

 

 

 

Although I don't really feel like celebrating Christmas, we did buy 2 Christmas trees today, one for us and one for at my parents place. My mom really loved Christmas, so I do want to decorate our houses. I always love the lights and stuff. And maybe she is a Christmas angel watching down and she would like to see our houses decorated :)

 

Thanks for reading.

Christmas 2009: Disney babies ♥

Hello Everyone,

I want to thank everyone who voted for me the last 3 weeks in the Nail Polish Canada holiday challenge. I can't actually win anything since I am not in the US or Canada but I did had fun and appreciated your votes :)

Today I'll show you something old :) I made these in 2009. Not so good cleaned up, but like I said several times I do like sharing my older creations too. And despite the bit messy cutticles I still think these are cute ;) (only my nails are a bit too long).

 

Base is China Glaze Snow with Nfu Oh 38 flakies. Stamped with Konad M12 the holly and the words Merry Christmas. Using SN wine red and SN green. The Disney Christmas babies are selfmade water decals :)

 

 With different light, you see the flakies a bit better.

 

And of course a swatch of just the white base with flakies.

Thanks for reading :) I still have a lot of other older Christmas creations to show you :)

Decorated Christmas Tree nails

Hi Everyone.

 

Today I'll show you my 3rd and final entry for the Nail Polish Canada Holiday challenge. I had so much fun entering all these 3 weeks, and I am very happy and honored they invited me to join :) 

 

This week the theme is: Trim the Tree (Holiday Decorations): lights, ornaments, tinsel, frosting, heck, even popcorn on a string if that's your thing. Let's see your nails all dolled up like a Christmas Tree!

 

So I decided to make my nails look like decorated Christmas trees with a green base and all kinds of cute Christmas balls, ornaments and of course my barbed wire Christmas candle lights on my ring finger :) At my parents place we have lights shaped like real candles so I really wanted to do that too and I used the barbed wire to represent the power cord..LOL. The candle shaped Christmas lights remind me of the nice Christmas days we had as a family with my mom :( 

 

Base a green holo franken made with a lot of polishes (too manu to mention) and Spectraflair. Stamped with Nailways' Snowwhite Christmas plate A-NW00002 (the balls, candles, present, ginger bread, tree, teddy bear, candy cane) with Konad SN blue, SN sky blue, SN white, SN yellow, SN green, SN brown, SN red. A Essence plate for the SN red ribbons. And BM323 for the barbed wire under the candles with SN black. I drew the black lines.

 

Another pic with different light.

 

It is snowing a lot here in Holland so I took a pic from our bedroom, you see our garden and view...everything is white :) The water in the ditch is a bit frozen, luckily our own little pond isn't.

 

Here some swatches of my green holo franken base.

 

I really like this green holo :)

 

With different light.

 

These aren't my favorite/prettiest nails I have ever made, but I had fun doing these :)

Christmas 2011: My freehand Santa :)

Hi Everyone,

 

I made these nails last year during my blogging break. I almost never do freehand (except some dotting or simple lines) but last year I saw these cute Santa nails on the Polish Aholic and really wanted to try that.

I still am a stamping girl so of course I also stamped ;) It isn't perfect but I was very happy with how my Santa turned out :)

 

Normally I do my nails so I can see them, but with freehand that is a lot harder ;)

 

Base Colorama (verniz & cor) 40 GRAUS, and on my ring finger also P2 680 glamour and Essence 50's Girls Reloaded 01 AHOY! Santa made with brush and dotting tool. Rest is stamped with M79 and Konad SN white.

 

Here another picture.

 

Freehand isn't really my thing (I suck at it and I just love stamping) but I do like making (or try making :P lol ) a freehand accent finger :)

 

Here also some Christmas sample I made in 2010.

Don't mind the freehand Rudolph and the lights haha lol. Some of these designs I actually had on my nails.

 

Here some all stamping Christmas designs from 2009 all Konad plates except the red flowers.

Maybe some nice info for my followers:

Konad Ireland is having a Christmas competition. You can all enter until sunday it's open to everyone. But you must use some Konad. Just post a picture on her wall saying it is for the competition and you can win a Konad kit :)

Thanks for reading.

It's a snowy day!

Hi Everyone,

 

I made these nails last week, before I I made them a bit shorter ;) I realy love making themed nails. They predicted snow this weekend so I decided to make an ice cold winter snowy day on my nails.

 

Base Essence 50's girls reloaded 01 Ahoy with a gradient of Essence You Rock 05 Speed of light blue, China Glaze Towel Boy Toy and China Glaze Splish Splash. Topcoat Catrice C06 Godfather of pearl for the blue shimmer/glitter. Stamped with XL O (it's a dupe from XL K), Nailways' own Christmas plate (snowwhite collection) A-NW00002, BM318, BM319, HB012, HB23, M11 and M12. Stamped with Konad SN white and Nfu Oh 65 (light blue holo).

 

Different light.

 

And some pictures of the gradient base. I really liked this gradient :)

 

 

 

 

I really like blue :)

 

This weekend I went to Germany to a Christmas Fair with my sis and my boyfriend. I got some nice cheap polishes for Christmas already :) 3 Flormars and one holo from Kiko...I was soo happy loveee holo.

 

It was already nine o'clock in the evening. But the shops and the market were open until 10.

 

Me and my sis at the Christmas fair/market or how you call it ;)

 

Here you see a crazy pic of me at the Christmas fair with my Chococat nails. It was snowing really hard, it was wet snow but did stayed on my hair and sleeve.

 

If you look closely you see the snow falling. It was sooo cold and we were soaked, so went inside the shopping mall again for some hot choco ;)

 

I got this cute warm microwave stuffed animal from boyfriend. If you put it in the microwave it becomes really warm...perfect for cold days. They had many kinds but I loved the black sheep...I sometimes also feel like a black sheep ;)

 

Me and my black sheep after the long cold snowy Christmas market shopping day.

All I want for Christmas...a kitty ;)

Hey Everyone,

Today I'll show you my nails for the 2nd week of Nail Polish Canada's Holiday Challenge. Last week the theme was Snow and I made my Snowy Owl nails. This week the theme is Gifts, Presents, Stockings, anything related to you getting the awesome things you want.

My parents, my sis, our boyfriends and I used to celebrate Christmas with presents under the tree and my mom would be busy wrapping the presents for weeks. The closer Christmas was, the bigger the pile of presents grew ;) She always wrapped them in other boxes or strange things otherwise we would know immediatele what was inside. It was really fun, she always said when we couldn't come up, because she was wrapping them in the attic.

But as you know last year we spent Christmas and the week before in the hospital, while my mom was in a coma and could die any moment..stupid Cancer had won. She died 2nd Christmas day :( So I really don't look foward to Christmas, because it will never be like that again, and I don't think we will ever do presents again like that :( I so really miss my mom :( these days even more.

My biggest wish for Christmas is to have my mom back, but I know that isn't possible :(

Of course I also would love to get some holo polishes (Color  Club, Jade, Hits No Olimpo or other brands) and many more new plates (both Cheeky sets, MASH, Gals, Nailz Craze, Messy Mansion, MJ plates, FUN, Sugar Bubbles, Moyou and more and more if I write down all the plates I wish for this post would be really long ;))

My boyfriend and I talked about a new kitten too. I said I wanted distraction with Christmas and I love animals. We took care in the Springtime for two 18 years old cats, that belong to my best friend and I knew them for over 9 years. He was moving and couldn't take them with them, so they lived the last weeks of their lives with us :) I was really sad when they also died, so many loses in a year. But my bf said maybe someday we will have new cats.

So that is why I decided to make present stocking gift wrap nails with on my ring finger Chococat in a stocking...isn't he cute?

Base is Colorama Nutriverniz Melancia (from Brazil) and on my ring finger Essence 50's girls reloaded 01 Ahoy!. Full nail bows stamped with Konad SN wine red and the Christmas imageplate from the Nailways Snowwhite collection they call it A-NW00002. I also stamped part of that full nail image over my red french tip on my ring finger. And the presents and stockings are also from that plate, stamped those with Konad SN white. Chococat in the stocking is a self made water decal.

Some more pictures. I still miss my own camera. But I do my best to take decent pics.

 My whole hand.

 Different settings.

 Different settings.

The bow full nail stamp and my self made Chococat in stocking water decal :) 

Here just the bow full nail stamp.

Here a swatch of the Colorama Melancia. A very bright red creme.
