Monthly palette Project August 2013

Hi Everyone,

Here something I've made for the Monthly Palette Project in August 2013....told you I still have so many mani's to show haha ;) The rules were to use at least 2 of the colors on the palette and tape ofcourse my goal was to use them all ;)

Base Glitter Gal The Award Goes To, then added striping tape and painted over it with P2 Denim Delight 020 navy washed denim. Sponged the tips with P2 Denim Delight 050 indigo denim and removed the tape again so you can see the Glitter Gal stripes. Stamped with Konad SN white and Pueen 26. Added dots with Flormar 394.

And here all the seperate pictures.

 Also from my right hand.

 Another one from my hand.

The base.

And all the polishes I used.

I remember I really liked this mani, not sure why I never posted it before haha.

Thanks for reading.

May 5th is Liberation Day

Hi Everyone,

On May 5th we celebrate our Liberation Day, that means big music parties all over our country :) There are 14 Liberation festival across the country (at least one in each of our 12 province), with lots of stages with bands, music, drinks, food. And hopefully some nice sunny weather :) The logo of the Liberation fesitval is a blue torch with red flame see this inspired by the colors of our Dutch flag, red, white and blue. The Liberation fire is everywhere. So I wanted to do something with fire and our flag colors too (although I don't really like that color combo) But I did my best to make it look cool hahaha. Tomorrow on May 4th it's Remembrance Day.

Base a white polish from Essence with a layer of Glitter Gal Light as a Feather. Stamped with Konad SN red and SN blue and Cheeky CH52 (I stamped both parts separately) On my thumb I made a torch from the baseball bat from CH35 and fire from BM07 stamped with SN dark orange, SN yellow and SN blue. Made the word 5 mei (which means May 5th) from letters of MM03 and the platenumber of a Konad plate.

Another pic without the thumb.

And my whole hand.

I am hoping for some nice weather, cause I really love music festivals but not so much when it's raining :P

For all the Dutch people who read my blog..did you make any Liberation nails? And are you going to a Liberation Festival?

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Thanks for reading.

It's a Starry....10 to Midnight (Glitter Gal)

A couple of months ago Glitter Gal organized a name a nail polish competition on their facebook. If one of your names was chosen you would win the entire new 15 ml bottle range of the Glitter Gal Holos and Sparkles. Unfortunately none of my names were chosen. But I did was one of the lucky ones that received one holographic and one sparkle nail polish from the new 15 ml bottle range, because they liked my entry and as an appreciation for my time and support. When I read that I was really happy woohoooo because I did not had any Glitter Gal yet. And I'm always drooling on all the swathces I see online ;)  I received 10 to Midnight (one of their newest holographic ones, this one was not one of the colors in the naming competition) and from the Sparkles I received The Award Goes To (formerly known as White Gold... I will show that color someday). I am so happy with my first 2 Glitter Gal polishes...thanks again to Kerry and Anna from Glitter Gal ♥

Thursday my sister I and went to a rock concert from Anouk (a famous Dutch rock chick...she also has some hits worldwide so maybe some of you know her too) I thought 10 to Midnight was a perfect color for a rock concert :) I have a lot of photos and swatches for you ;)

Although the color is awesome by it self I stamped some Rock Stars on it ;) because as you know I am a nail art stamping addict. I used Bundle Monster plates BM05 and BM21 with Konad SN White. And on my ring finger a little clear rhinestone in the star.

 

I think the grey metal holographic base and the stars made these nails real Rock Star nails hahahahaha lol.

Now here are a lot of swatches ;) I just took many photos and want to share them with you because I'm so happy with my first Glitter Gal polishes :) This polish is soo pretty...I have to say to holographic effect is really showing in bright artificial light, sun light and camera flash but in normal cloudy daylight the holo effect is a less showing.

I love the shape of the new 15ml bottles (I don't have the 9ml bottle so I can't compare them) I love it that it has so much glass and is square. It is quite large I could hardly place my fingers around the bottle to take swatch photos ;)
