Sorry for being MIA for months + some random mani's

Hi Everyone,

Not sure how many of you still follow my blog since I've neglected it for months. In february I became very sick for at least 8 weeks and later I just did not feel like blogging. Won't bore you with the long long story ;) You can read more about on my fb page and IG. I have been posting on FB and IG lately. But I'll promise to blog regular too now.

I have lot's of mani's that I haven't show her also even Christmas and Easter ones, but won't share those now. 

Here just some mani's I did the last few months.

 Sponged a radial gradient with MdU neon blue, neon green and neon yellow over a silver base, stamped with Konad black and MJ XXV (tester plate).

Base Color Club What a Drag stamped with BP-L015 and MdU Neon blue and added light and dark blue rhinestones.

Red and gold challenge for #whencolourscollide ...could not photograph (not with camera or phone) somehow this phone snapshot turned out best...but still sucks ;)  P2 Eternal stamped with Essence A piece of forever and MoYou Nails 401. Thought it was fun to use a full nail image a little different.

Another one I did for the Red and Gold challenge #whencolourscollide. I liked this one better then my other one that was impossible to photograph.   Base a gold holo from BK and the red is Jade Vermelho Surreal. Stamped with Konad red and MoYou Nails 412.

A frog and leaves on my nubs. Essence 11 kiss under the mistletoe from my Essence advent calendar. Stamped with BP-L029. Added the frog from Konad M30 for another challenge. Stamping polish Born Pretty 12 fluor green.

Base Impala Audrey stamped branches with Moyou London Suki 10 the leaves are from Moyou London Mother Nature 02. The owl is from MoYou Nails 411. Used Konad and Born Pretty stamping polishes.

And for a 3D facebook challenge..my owl is sitting in real forest :P   I stuck some tiny real leaves on my nail.

Thank you all for checking my blog again.

Nani the dog nails with MoYou Nails 405 and 408

Hi Everbody,

Remember in my review about the new MoYou Nails Square plates I showed you these doggy nails and I promised to write a blog post about it too. They/we are still so busy at home with the new bathroom and everything got delayed again :( I have been doing my nails, just not as often. 

But I did these nails about 2 weeks ago when we went to pick up our adoption doggy Nani.

Base a gradient with  China Glaze Tickle my Triangle and How About a Tumble, stamped the paw prints from MoYou Nails 405 using Konad and MdU polish. The puppy is from 408. The letters come from Nailways Back to Basics - 123ABC.

Nani is 11 months old and from Spain, she was dumped as a small pup in the fields to die :( But since August she was in a Spanish shelter and November 8th she arrived here in Holland and stayed with a foster mom. We decided to adopt her. We already showed interest in her when we saw her "adopt me" poster on facebook and we filled in the application.  They liked us and we were allowed to contact her foster mom. When we called we heard she ran away in the forest when she was with her foster mom and got scared from 2 bigger dogs. So the next day we helped search for her. And I was the one who actually found her.

 Her first night with us and she met her "niece" Yoshi the red wired hair Dachshund.

This were my nails for good luck when we helped searching for her. And you see me with her when we just found her. Then it was not even sure we would be her adoption parents but who could resist that cute little face. I was so happy we found her. 

Base is Essence Happy Girls are Pretty LE 02 Happy Girls Rock. Stamped the paws with HB 37 and the dog is from MoYou Nails 66.

We are so happy to have this sweet little girl with us.

Thank you for reading.

Well, it's one for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready....

Hi Everyone, 

Sorry for not blogging for a while. I've been busy and I am sick too. But I have been posting on my fb page and on instagram. 

Even though I am sick I had to do the TAG you are it challenge for a Facebook group I only had a week that was almost over ;) I had 3 choices and combined 2 of them so I chose vintage/grunge style and inspired by an old song :)  

"Well, it's one for the money, 

Two for the show, 

Three to get ready, 

Now go, cat, go.  

But don't you step on my blue suede shoes. 

You can do anything but lay off of my Blue suede shoes."  

Base Essence 33 Wilde White Ways and Flormar 47 on ring finger. Added blue flocking powder on my ringfinger to make it look like like a suede shoe haha it sure feels soft ;) Stamped the "shoelace" with parts of Konad M7 and Bundle Monster BM420. Used a grey, white, light blue and darker blue to make the vintage/grunge distressed look. Stamped with BP-47 the music notes, Elvis is from MyOnline Shop MJ XXII and the shoe prints are from Nailways Snowwhite - Traces.  Used Konad stamping polishes and made it all matte with China Glaze Magic matte.

And here the glossy picture.

And the grunge/vintage/distressed base. Later added a little dark blue brush strokes.

I did this really quick but I am pretty happy with how these turned out. It was a fun mani to do and great theme. I still have many more mani's to show you all :)

Thanks for reading.

Pink & Hearts: Beste Twin Nails with The Beauty Of Nail Polish

Hi Everyone,

Earlier this week Tara from The Beauty Of Nail Polish contacted me if I wanted to do #bestietwinnails with her. I was really honored she wanted me do that with her :) I have never done bestie twin nails. Ofcoure I did do the story nails with Fab Ur Nails and others, but no bestie twin nails. So I was double excited...my first twin mani and with a very talented nail artist. 

We talked on facebook and decided to do something loved themed since it will be Valentine's Day next month. She suggested we both should do a pink mani with hearts, no specific plates or polishes just this theme. And the rest was up to us how to interpret this theme. 

You can follow her on Facebook too here a link to her page. And she is also on Instagram @thebeautyofnailpolish and as you know I recently joined the IG world too @dianavnisselroy if you like to follow me too ;)

Now let's show both our mani's.

I love how we both used different kind of pink tones. It is so fun to see how we both interpreted this theme. And I seriously love her mani, especially her ring finger is mesmerizing.

Now also a closer look to my mani with all the details.

I sponged my base using Konad SN pastel pink (I really wanted the base color to be the same as the stamped images so it would blend well) and Only You 015 Pink Party! (that brand is from a local drugstore called ICI Paris XL) On top I used Essence 25 Let Stars Rain Down On Me a holo glitter topcoat (a bit similar to INM out the door silver). Stamped the hearts with the french tip image from Konad M73 with Konad SN pastel pink. The bigger and small hearts are from Nailways Spring Time - Love is in the Air stamped with Konad SN magenta.

I liked how this turned out with the gradient and the french tip design and tone on tone :) 

Here also a picture from the gradient base. Too bad you can't really see the holo sparkle that good.

If you like to know the details on Tara her mani go over to her blog: The Beauty Of Nail Polish.

Thank you for doing this fun Bestie Twin Nails with me, I look foward to doing more in the future.

Thanks for reading!

Have a nice weekend :)

Christmas wishlist ;)

Hi Everyone,

Here a mani I did earlier, I believe it was for a challenge in AIS. It was to make your Christmas wishes on your nails. Well my true wish just isn't possible, but polishes and plates are always a nice present. So I stamped all kinds of polish and plate brands and made a Christmas tree out of polishes.

Base Sinful Colors Black on Black and Snow me White. Stamped the polish brands with FUN12 and used a Konad, Winstonia, Nailways, Essence, FUN and MJ plate for their logo's. Made a polish tree with the nailpolish bottles on FUN 12.  Stamped using Konad polishes.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Birds in the snow

Hi Everyone,

Last week I went to Germany...we needed a short break for a few days. We went to Center Parks... a bungalow park. We had a little snow and there was a lot of fog and that froze too, so everything turned white...gorgeous. Before we went I did not know it would be white, but I felt liking doing a winter scenery anyway ;)

Base a gradient with Lime Crime Milky Ways and Once in a Blue Mousse added a little holo glitter from Essence 25 Let Stars Raindown on Me!  Stamped snowflakes from BP-01, the reindeer is also from that plate. Used Emily de Molly EDM07 for the tree, squirrels, birds and white snow owl. And Moyou London Mother Nature (aka Landscape) 03 for the big branches. Dotted the snow on the branches and ground and snowflakes, the berries and animal eyes. Using Konad SN black, brown, red and white.

There was also a tropical swimming pool there and I love swimming so ofcourse I had to do a matching pedi too :)

And some more pictures.

 

See how the trees were frozen.

 And a little snow.

My pedi underwater in the pool :)

And some pics of our trip.

 We had a little bit of snow.
