A beautiful Spring day

Hi Everyone,

Here a mani I've done a few weeks ago for a Spring contest :) Just a short post today, cause did not take more pictures. And it is late so don't feel like typing a lot, but did wanted a new post up before the weekend ;) It does have a bunny in it so it could be the Easter bunny ;) Happy Easter!

A gradient with Lime Crime Pastelchio, Lim Crime Once In a Blue Mousse and China Glaze Too Yacht too handle. Stamped the trees, grass, sun, clouds, fox, deer and bunny with Emily de Molly EdM 07. The flowers and butterfly are from HB32, the dragonfly and jumping frog from the grass are from HB34. Dotted the flowers center and the blossom in the trees. Used Konad polishes for the stamping.

Wish you all a nice Easter weekend!

Thanks for reading.

Gradient sponging and gradient stamping with a bunny

Hi Everyone,

This is my last Easter mani, really wish I posted them all before Easter but there will always be Easter next year. And bunnies are always cute to see ;) right? Will also still post the Bunny Tales story I did together with Fab Ur Nails.

Base a white from Essence with Orly Gogo on top (white with little silver glitter for a cute subtle speckled effect) Gradient on my ring finger using Konad pastel yellow, pastel green, pastel, blue pastel violet and pastel pink. Gradient stamping for the full nail eggs. Both bunny and eggs are from Nailways Spring Time Easter Bunny plate A-NW00006.

And another picture with different lighting.

Thanks for reading.

Bunny falls in love *Parental advisory*

Hi Everyone,

Here one of the 2 Easter mani's that I haven't showed yet. This is a bit funny adult mani. I was challenged to do a "happy" bunny by one of the sweet and crazy ladies in a nail group. At first I did wanted to share it outside that group but they said I had to haha. We can all laugh about this "nature"cartoon mani right? ;) 

After this mani I did a complete story with 4 mani's together with Fab Ur Nails. Just like we did with Christmas. We thought that the bunnies should experience more adventures together.

 "It was a beautiful Spring day just before Easter. And the Easter Bunny saw this adorable hot Bunny Babe and went Oh la la. He could not help what happened next so ding dong!!! Luckily the Bunny Babe liked the Easter Bunny too and Love was in the Air <3 "

Base China Glaze Snow stamped with Konad SN black and Winstonia W212 (bunnies) mirror stamped the bunny on my middle finger, also used that plate for the Babe bunny sort of pinkl bows, used HB38 for the egg and made the words with the titles from different Nailways plates. Added Konad SN red hearts also from a Nailways plate.

Thanks for reading :)

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.

And another picture.

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

Thanks for watching/reading.

Happy Easter to you all!

Easter eggs and hatching chick

Hi Everyone,

Here one of the 4 Easter mani's I did the last 2 weeks....I guess that means more blogging or I'll be showing Easter nails after Easter too ;) (I am sure that will be the case haha).

I was again invited by Nail Polish Canada to enter their contest, always a honor and so much fun to be show cased between all those amazing artists. But stupid me thought the deadline was the 17th not the 16th haha oopsie. I did them like monday, so I should have just blogged about them then hahaha.

You can see all the amazing entries and vote for your favorite by clicking the link.

Base China Glaze Lemon Fizz, sponged with Konad SN pastel green, China Glaze Peachy Keen, Konad SN pastel pink, Konad SN pastel blue and Konad SN pastel violet. Plates BM H09 and Winstonia W212 using Klean color metallics and Konad SN black (colored with Konad SN yellow and Konad SN white).

Another picture.

And a picture of the sponged gradient tips.

Normally just before Easter I break a nail (happened to me 2 years) seems like my Easter tradition. And it is always my middle finger. And then looking back at my Easter mani's I am like well that sucks one shorty :P So I really hope I don't break a nail this week ;) 

Thanks for reading.

Fuzzy Chicks

Hi Everyone,

These were my real Easter nails, I know they are very simply but I had promised my sister to make fuzzy chicks :) She wanted to pet them (was curious how flocking powder felt like). And I don't like flocking powder on all my nails so I deciced to make an accent nail and keep the rest simple.

Base a gradient with Catherine Arley 801 and 806, added flocking powder on my ring finger, made the face with a dotting tool using Konad SN polishes and stamped his hair with Konad M29 (part of the pineapple).

And another picture.

Thanks for reading :)

Colorful Bunnies

Hi Everyone,

I made these a couple of days ago, but these weren't my actual Easter nails. The skittle pastel eggs were not pretty anymore after a week of swimming ;) So I had to do something really quick when I got home.

Base Golden Rose Holographic 105, stamped the smaller and bigger bunnies with Nailways Spring Time - Easter Bunny A-NW00006 using Konad SN pastel blue, SN pastel green, SN pastel pink, SN pastel yellow and SN white. And added many dots in the same colors with a dotting tool and eyes with Konad SN black.

Also a picture of my right hand.

And some swatches of both hands with this cute pink holo polish.

Thanks for reading :)

Hope you all had a great Easter.

Happy Easter! Skittle nails + short holiday pics :)

Happy Easter everyone!

Like I said yesterday, I made Easter nails a week ago before a went on a short holiday to Center Parcs in Belgium. We had fun especially in the sub tropical pool with the under water camera. And it was sooo cold that week, with snow...so it felt more like Winter then almost Easter and Spring time. When I go swimming I always love to paint my toes too, so I did a pedi and a mani :)

Base P2 Ship Ahoi! 01 Pure white, sponged with Konad SN pastel yellow, SN pastel green, SN pastel violet, SN pastel blue, China Glaze Peachy Keen and SN pastel pink. With a layer of China Glaze wireless holographic topcoat.

Stamped the eggs in the same colors as the tips of the gradient base imageplate Nailways Spring Time - Easter Bunny A-NW00006 and Konad SN white flowers from M2. Little dots in the same pastel colors made with a dotting tool.

My right hand.

Again my left hand with the shorty in the middle with different lighting.

And of course some pics of both hands with the gradient base.

And like I said I also did a Easter skittle pedi :) And took some pictures in the pool and under water :)

Base China Glaze Peachy Keen, China Glaze Lemon Fizz, China Glaze Moody Blue, Chine Glaze Go Go Pink and China Glaze Refreshmint. Stamped the full nail eggs with Nailways Spring Time- Easter Bunny A-NW00006 plate. With Konad SN pastel orange, SN yellow (mixed with orange), SN sky blue, SN pink pearl and SN green. 

Again but then a underwater shot :)

It so much fun playing with the under water camera.

And some pictures of my mani in Center Parcs and other holiday pics.

 In the market dome with flamingos in the back.

 At the children's petting zoo/farm with a cow.

At the sort of beach around the lake. It looks so warm and sunny but it was freezing, if you look closely you see the lake is frozen in the back.

 We even had snow :( soooo cold.

But it does look pretty the white snowy scenery with the Swan shaped water pedals.

Walking on the high wooden rope brigde on heels :P lol.

 Petting the sheep who walk free in the entire park :)

 Walking over the stones in the tropical Market Dome.

 The pretty flamingos.

The parrots.

 Dave and my sis in the Market Dome.

 At the other side of the pond walking with Yoshi the dog, Dave took this pic from "our" back yard.

 Me and my sis in the Discovery Bay with the water drops.

 Look no feet :P

Dave and I in the Pirate boat.

 Poor duckies on the frozen pond.

 Cool tree :)

 Let's pretend it is Spring/Summer ;) lol well that day without the wind it was very nice there.

Something really quick and some ideas :)

Hi everyone,

I've been really sick 2 weeks ago, and last week I went on a short holiday to Center Parcs in Belgium. I was so sick that I was afraid I would not be able to go, but luckily that turned out okay. So sorry for not blogging for a a while.

Here is something I did 2 weeks ago when I had a little workshop again :) Some girls wanted to learn new things, so I showed them all the new things I've learned from fellow stamping/ nail addicts :)

Thumb: a gradient with a make up sponge. And 2 times stamping, first in pastel green then colored the image with that same color and stamped the same image again in metallic pink. With Nailways Spring Time -Easter Bunny A-NW00006 plate ;)

Index: using striping tape, sponging over it with a more coarse Konad sponge and removing the tape again and a Konad flower..  

Middle vinger: a baby chicken ;) using flocking powder (but when I took the pic half of it was gone because it was done really quick with too little topcoat underneath) The face made with a dotting tool, the hair is stamped (part of the Konad pineapple image)  

Ring finger: saran wrap technique with 2 colors.  

Pinkie: a stamping decal Konad M1, coloring him on the stamper, then a layer of topcoat and peel it off. And put it on the nail, I smudged it a bit. But like I said it was done really quick just to show those girls how it was done :) On Messy Mansion is a great tutorial of stamping decals :)

I had so much fun that day, later I took most of it off and did saran wrap on all of them to cover the bald spots…had do it sooo fast cause had to go, but I thought can’t go out with these 5 different nails :P

The Saran wrap with China Glaze Lemon Fizz and a brght pink color from 2True. And a Kleancolor metallic black stamp from Konad M22.

The Saran wrap base.

Both together.

Last week I had skittle Easter nails and toes, I will show those tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend!
