Valentines Day 2016: Heart Balloons

Hi Everyone,

Here a mani I've done earlier for another IG challenge I had to recreate one mani and here is my creation of a mani done by the amazing @secretjewelgarden. I adore her work so this was fun to do.

I even glued 2 rhinestones to gold rings and painted them with the matching nailpolish too match her rings and tried her hand pose hahaha :)I looked through all my plates and had to improvise.

Base Only You 015 pink party (Dutch drugstore brand. Stamped with Konad white the roses from FUN13, the "cloud" from BM404, the word love from Pueen43 and created the heart balloons with parts from Nailways Spring Time - Love is in the Air.

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.

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).

Summer water marble and stamping

Hi Everyone,

In one of the facebook stamping groups we have this game called Tag You're It. Someone can tag you and give you a personal challenge. Then after you finished you have to tag another person and give her/him a challenge. Now I was tagged to do a stamping mani over a watermarbled base of atleast 3 colors. I really don't like to marble, I just ain't good at it and the water here isn't great for it too. So this was I real challenge for me.

But I did my best (that the weather here is pretty warm wasn't helping either) and I did 2 nails, yes 2 nails ;) The rest I just painted and stamped to match the rest.

Colors used China Glaze That's Shore Bright, China Glaze Too Yacht Too Handle and Icecream polish pink over Sinful Colors Snow me White. Stamped with FUN2 the white flowers and added some dots with a dotting tool.

Here a picture of just the base.

At the end I did kinda liked this mani. The water marble was pretty simple not like a pretty flower design, but this was all I could do ;)

Thanks for reading!

*Lest We Forget* ANZAC Remembrance Day nails

Hi Everyone,

The Saturday challenge from Nail Update is ANZAC or Penguin nails. I am blogging about this already because tonight and tomorrow we celebrate Kingsday here in Holland. Formerly known as Queensday or Q-day but since we now have a King it will be Kingsday. Anyway that means I won't have much time to go on a computer. So I am sharing my challange mani earlier.

I chose to do ANZAC nails and today it is ANZAC day so it isn't even that bad that I blog about these now ;) When I was googling to find out what ANZAC day meant I saw this pretty picture of a poem. And that became my inspiration. Will post that picture too.

I am really proud of how thes turned out, I even did freehand and I don't do freehand much haha. Cause I am not good at it. Even my boyfriend liked these nails.

Base Saran wrap with Catrice C01 Pebble Beach, Konad SN white and Konad SN black. Used Konad M36 and M36-I for the SN green leaves, flower buds etc. With Konad SN black I stamped the big cross from Konad S3, the words "Lest We Forget' are from the tittles of Nailways plates. The little cross is part of FUN5. The soldier is the man from the dancing love couple on Messy Mansion MM03 and freehanded him an arm, hand, hat/helmet, rifle/gun. And freehanded the poppies with Konad SN red, SN black and a little SN yellow. 

My nails together with my inspiration

Here a link to the poem picture

And some pictures of just the saran wrap base.

I also really liked this base.

For all my Australian and New Zealand readers, have a good ANZAC day!

For all my Dutch readers Happy Kings night/day!

And for the rest...I wish you a wonderful weekend :)

World Parkinson's Day

Hi Everyone,

I almost forgot to blog about this today...but if I hurry I will post it before midnight here ;) So it will still be April 11th World Parkinson's Day. I did a mani with the blue ribbon and the red tulips that are the symbols for World Parkinson's Day.

It was hard to capture because of the metallic polish :( So sorry not the greatest picture and only one.

Base Seventeen 523. Stamped the full nail windy clouds with China Glaze Sci-Fi and BM 312. The tulips are from FUN4 stamped with Konad SN red and SN green and the ribbon is from BM 321 stamped with Konad SN blue pearl.

And a swatch pic of the metallic base. This is also a great stamping polish. Got this a few years ago in Greece.

Thanks for reading/watching since I haven't typed much haha.

Enjoy your weekend.

There is something brewing in the Science lab

Hi everyone,

One of the other themes in the Blogger mani-a giveaway is Science so I wanted to use some images from my FUN plates. I love doing themed mani's. Another theme on that list is Medicine this mani could also be that theme...that there is medicine brewing in the science lab ;) but with the neon yellow it does look a bit toxic.

 

Base China Glaze I'm With The Lifeguard, sponged with China Glaze Splish Splash and added a spectraflair mix holo topcoat on top. Stamped with FUN5, FUN6 and FUN7 using Konad SN black. Colored with China Glaze Sun Kissed and a little white.

Hi5 challenge: inspired by Lillibit's blog

Hi Everyone,

A few months ago I was challenged by Lillibit for the Hi5 challenge. I was one of the 5 ladies she challenged to do a mani inspired by her blog (the way it looks). As soon as I read that I wanted to do something with the cute gnome girl (lillibit) that is on her blog and is also her profile picture on facebook. 

I was really busy the last months but this week I finally did this fun challenge. Ofcourse my freehand skills aren't good that I could draw the Lillibit, so I had to think of something to make with stamps. As you know I always like making my own images out of parts of different stamping images. So I did my best to recreate a little Lillibit on my nails.

Here my mani together with the Lillibit picture.

Base China Glaze L8R G8R over that a gradient with W7 120 Mojito and a no brand green. Stamped the branches and leaves with Moyou Mother Nature (landscape) collection 03 and Konad SN green and SN brown. Made the Lillibit with the hat from FUN11 (next to the star wars logo) and Pebbles from FUN3. I editted and freehanded a little and then made stamping decals from it coloring with Konad SN black, SN yellow, SN violet, SN red and a self made pastel orange mix.

And some more pictures.

And a picture of just the gradient base.

This was such a fun challenge to do and I feel honored that Lillibit invited me for this :)

Now it is my turn to challenge people.

1. Make a mani in the theme, write a blogpost about it and link back to the person who challenged you.

2. Think of a new theme.

3. Invite 5 bloggers to do the challenge in your theme.

The theme for my Hi5 challenge is Monkey See Monkey Do ...so recreate/copy a mani that I made in the past years on my blog, it can be anything. It can be an exact recreation, but also something similar (I know not everyone has the exact same polishes or plates etc) it can also be the same design but with different colors if you like. It would be fun to post my picture together with your own. And please let me know when you did the challenge :)

It was hard to choose just 5 amazing bloggers, I love so many blogs. But I challenge:

1. Lillibit

2. Life in Color

3. Nail Art Stamping Mania

4. Konad Addict

5. Norma's Nails

Hope these ladies will accept the challenge <3

There is no time limit, but if you accept please let me know. And let me know when you did the challenge so I don't miss it ;)

Thanks for reading.

Have a nice weekend.

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.

MPP with Hello Kitty and Keroppi FUN10

Hi everyone,

Every month in WON there is a monthly palette project (MPP), we have to use at least 2 colors. And every month there are different rules...for example using tape, doing a gradient, stamping (or no stamping which is hard for me haha) etc. This month we had to do a gradient. For me I always make it a challenge to use all the colors in the palette or at least as many as I can find.

Last week I also got the most amazing nail mail ever, FUN plates and stampers. So I wanted to do a thank you mani for Fab Ur Nails and Kelly who shipped me this amazing nail mail. They both are so sweet and back in WON we have nicknames Fab is Muffin and Kelly is Cupcake (they decided to call me Cookie lol). So I decided to make a Hello Kitty muffin for Fab cause she loves HK and a Keroppi cupcake for Kelly cause she loves frogs. And ofcourse I just wanted to play with my new plates too :)

The base is Opi Fiercly Fiona and sponged with that too and China Glaze Tree Hugger, Colorama Nutriverniz Rosa Mosqueta, Colorama Artistica Azul Royal and H&M U Must Have This. Added a spectraflair topcoat on top.

All stamped using my new FUN10 plate :)  Used W.I.C by Herome Trondheim (Norway collection), Konad SN white, Konad SN pastel yellow, China Glaze Tree Hugger, Colorama Nutriverniz Rosa Mosqueta, H&M U Must Have This for coloring and stamping.

 Here a pic of my nails, the base, the color palette for this month and the colors I've used :)

And a pic of just the gradient base.

Also a funny pic when I got my epic nail mail. The little flip flop thingy is a coin purse made in the Phillipines (also had that written on it) I called it a keepsake and decided it will be my lucky charm, hung it in my nail room so I'll be just as good as Fab Ur Nails and all the other awesome nail artists from the Phillipines :)

Thanks for reading, sorry I haven't blogged in a while but we are really busy at home (decorating, cleaning, moving etc)
