Terschelling, World Cup and Oerol festival

Hi Everyone,

As many of you know I love going to Terschelling, one of the Dutch Wadden Island. I love the nature and feeling there, it always feels like home when I am there. We used to go there when we were little too. Every in June there is the Oerol festival there, this means music, theater, plays etc. There are sooo many people on the island and and it is always fun. This year we are also there and just like other years I wanted to do a Terschelling scenery but the World Cup is also now and I also always love to do something for that too....so I combined those things...

Terschelling is turning orange for the World Cup during the Oerol festival...with soccer balls all over the island and a beautiful orange sunset sky ;)

Holo base using many holo's from Golden Rose Paris, DA, Catherine Arley, Nail Nation. Self made water decals of the seagull on the pole, the seals, seagull, the lighthouse Brandaris, the flag from Terschelling, the Oerol logo, the boat. Painted the back white on some decals to make them pop. And stamped the soccer balls from Moyou Tourist 14 and Konad M49 first in white then colored them and stamped over the in black, stamped the green grass from Konad M66 and M29, and the flying seagulls are from Stampaholis ST01. Using Konad SN black, green and white.

Another picture with different light.

Also did a pedi ofcourse. Base Impala Tech with Hits Demeter (both Brazilian brands so hopefully they will bring us luck in Brazil ;)) The soccer balls from Konad M49 and self made water decals from the Terschelling flag and Oerol logo.

And my hand with my toes together. A bumped my toe while it was still wet so the ball is not round anymore haha, tried to fix it.

I usually also post some pictures of our vacation there. But I will do that in another post since I planned this post, and I haven't been on the computer since my vacation so those pictures aren't on the computer yet.

Thanks for reading.

Cats playing in the garden :)

Hi everyone,

This was actually my first idea for the blogger mani-a giveaway/contest. I saw the list of 11 themes and one of them is CATS so I immediately thought of this mani. Then I heard I could do more then one theme so I did 2 other ones too :) Like I said before I love doing themed mani's and I had enough ideas for all the themes haha, but that would be too much. I really wanted to do this Kitties/Cats playing in the garden mani. I like making scenery/landscape nails, they do take some time to make but I love doing that :)

The weather is really nice here..it really feels like Spring :) Outside you always see cats chasing frogs (thumb) or butterflies (ring finger) and just having fun in a garden. So I had to make that on my nails too. And I miss having cats. I had not used the plate with the cats yet so this was also a perfect opportunity to do that.

Base DA magical with a franken green holo and Nubar Absolute. Cats are from Born Pretty Store plate QA15. Frog, swan, dragonfly from HB34. Grass from Konad M66 and Moyou Mother Nature 01. Flowers from HB33, Moyou Suki 10, Moyou Mother Nature 01. Butterflies also from Moyou Mother Nature 01. Sun is from Nailways Snowwhite Weather Forecast. And the clouds are from Moyou Mother Nature (aka Landscape) 06. 

Colors used: Konad SN black, SN white, SN yellow, SN pastel blue, SN orange pearl, SN red, SN moss green, SN pastel pink, PSN apple green, PSN pop green, Flormar 47.

Also used a dotting tool  and a sponge (for the water).

I hope the weather will be nice here the next week too......can't wait for the Summmer.

Thanks for reading!

Blue on blue

Hi Everyone,

I did these about a month ago when my nails were super long (too long haha) but I needed the extra space for some nail art back then. I thought let's share them today, cause I feel a little blue :(

I am not so happy today, I received my Bundle Monster products that I ordered with part of the coupon I won in their Halloween contest and I had to pay $25 (€18,46) at the door before I could receive it. I had to pay sales tax :( it made me a bit mad, cause that is almost twice the value of the goodies. And the products aren't even worth that much. And for me that just is a lot of money. And it makes winning stuff let's fun. Plus I just don't understand why a few plates and binder are charged for sales tax, I understand when it is done with more valuable products and even with polish, but something likes this never happened to me before. Thing is that when the value was below 22 euros it would not have happened, this was written value 26 euros :( Anyway let's show the mani a did a month ago...it was just something quick between some other mani's.

Base a light blue holo from DA (local Dutch drugstore) called Turbulent. Stamped with Kleancolor metallic aqua and image plate Pueen 32. 

Some more pictures.

And some swatches of this nice light blue holo.

Thanks for reading :)
