Ladyqueen review: HeHe 055 plate over a gradient base

Hi Everyone,

I recently received some products from Ladyqueen as you all know I love stamping so I got a pretty plate Hehe 055 and this silver knuckle ring. And ofcourse I had to do a mani with it. So let's show the mani first and then a close up of the plate.

Look at all those cute little toys. The base is a gradient with  Lime Crime Lavendairy, Once in a Blue Mousse and Crema de Limon. Stamped the images from Hehe 055 and used MdU 5 for stamping. I really liked how cute this was. 

Now here a close up of the Hehe 055 plate.You can find it on Ladyqueen under this name NA0587 Nail Art Stamp Template. 

 Look at all those tiny toys those images are great as as a full nail but you can also use them as single images, they are a great size for small kids nails or use them to create a scene :) And all the icecream, pie, cupcakes looks yummy too. I really like the party flags too. Think this is a great plate with lots of options to make different mani's. And the quality is great too.

Here a picture of the gradient base. I really like these pastel colors.

As you can see on the first picture I also have the knuckle ring on my finger, you can find it on Ladyqueen under this name SP0420 Knuckle Ring. I have never wore a knuckle ring before so I had to get used to it but will show it more often on mani's :)

Ladyqueen sells lot's of other plates and nail art stuff and also jewelry on more beauty related items. If you use the code: NQLC15 you will get 15% off (also see the banner at the side of my blog). They also have these Flash Sale items make sure to check them out :)

Sailor Moon mani and pedi

Hi Everyone,

I did this a few months ago when we went to Germany on a short break. I have to confess I just thought this was a cute girl on the moon, until I posted them on fb and several people pointed out that is was Sailor Moon. I never heard of her so I had to google haha.

Gradient with Lime Crime Crema de Limon, Lime Crime Pastelchio and China Glaze Neon & On & On. Stamped with Born Pretty BP-03 and BP-06 and Konad Black.

Also done a matching pedi.

Here a picture taking in the wildlife park. You can see the racoon sitting in the tree cave.

And an underwater picture of my mani/pedi.

And a picture of just the gradient base.

I really love the plates from Born Pretty Store they have such pretty designs and the quality is amazing. If you order from them don't forget to use KONG10 for 10% off not discounted items.

Spring time...doggies in love

Hi Everyone,

Today a mani I've done a few weeks ago. It was one of my 2 entries in a Spring themed contest. They picked 5 finalist, this mani wasn't one of them, but my other entry was.

A subtle green/yellow gradient with Lime Crime Pastelchio and Lime Crime Crema de Limon. On top INM Nothern lights topcoat. Stamped the flowers with Konad PSN neon green and MoYou 216, the doggies in love are from MoYou 66, I made stamping decals of those and mirror stamped one doggy from stamper to stamper before coloring it. The heart is dotted with a dotting tool.

And another picture.

Enchanting Fairytales

Hi Everyone,

I did this mani for a guest blog over at The Beauty Of Nail Polish. You can read the full post there :) I was really honored when Tara invited me.

I did a Fairytale mani a few years ago using Moyou plates. And this mani is inspired by that one,  I really wanted to do another one with Nailways Darker Period – Fairy Tales plate.

For the base I did a gradient with Lime Crime Once in a Blue Mousse, Lime Crime Lavendairy and China Glaze Neon & On & On. On top I did Catrice C08 Have an ice day topcoat for the holo sparkles. I stamped the images from Nailways Darker Period – Fairy Tales plate using Konad black. And the yellow stars are from Konad M34 using Konad pastel yellow. The white stars are from Konad M3 using Born Pretty stamping polish white. Painted the black near my cuticles and the door and path to the castle.

Looking at my nails I really want to go to Disneyland….I have never been there and it is one of my dreams.

Here also some pictures of my gradient base with holo glitters.

Thanks for reading :)

Hearts on fire (adult version included)

Hi Everyone,

I did these for the Hearts on Fire Challenge a few weeks ago. I thought it was fun to give it a little adult twist too. You can see that in the 2nd picture.

I used BM312 for the yellow/orange/red flames, BM12 for the sort of black flames, Nailways Spring Time- Love is in the Air for the black hearts, Nailways Back to basic- 123ABC for the letters. 

Adult version on my thumb.

And I used XJ7 (bad Ebay dupe from the Handy plate) for the couple (to make her more look like a woman I gave her a pony tail and boobs ;)) The base is Lime Crime Milky Ways...thought it was a fitting name hehehe.

Here some swatches of the base.

I really love my Lime Crime polishes so happy I got them 2nd hand from a nail friend who was selling her polihs collection.

Freehand: Spring Scenery

Hi Everyone,

Last week I did my 4th completely freehand mani. This reminds me I still have to post me 3rd one too. A Spring scenery with trees, flowers, plants, a butterfly, swan, dragonfly and a froggy on a lily leaf. I've done similar sceneries with stamping before and thought lets give it a try with a dotting tool and a brush now :) I like trying new things :) 

Base is Lime crime Once in a Blue Mousse and Lime Crime Pastelchio. Rest done with paint..no sure what kind of paint. But it is old and not that great.

Thanks for reading.

R.I.P. sweet ratty Hope ♥

Hi everyone,

Today we had to say goodbye to one of our sweet pet ratties...Hope ♥ We will miss you and also Faith and Joy will miss you. R.I.P sweet strong little girl.  

The top nails I had when we went to the Vet and when we came back I stamped her name and the tombstone :( Ofcourse I had to wear my ratty ring too.  Base Lime Crime Crema de Limon on top of that neon glow in the dark yellow from BK 02, made the cheese with a dotting tool...just making holes in it so the lighter base or my bare nail was visable and added a little darker orange/yellow on some spots. The rat and tombstone are from a no number plate from the Tedi shop Gemany. And the letters are from Nailways Back to Basics - 123ABC plate.

Thanks for reading.

I'm from The Netherlands

Hi Everyone,

As you all know I am from The Netherlands also known as Holland. There was a challenge on IG to represent your heritage with nail art. So today I have some Dutch nails for you.

Orange is our national color so I chose a light orange base: Lime Crime Peaches ♥ Cream. I thought it was fun to show some typical Dutch things...things people think about when they envision Holland. 

Ofcourse my country is known for it's cheese (pinkie), everyone here rides a bicycle and there are mills (ring finger), Heineken is a Dutch beer brand and we love to drink beer (middle finger), stroop wafels are famous Dutch cookies with caramel (index), a blonde (somehow people often think the Dutch are all blonde) girl with old fashioned Dutch clothing and tullips (thumb). Also stamped the tullips at my tips in our red, white and blue flag colors. Images all come from MoYou Tourist 15 plate. I freehanded the tiny Dutch flags.

This was so much fun too do.

Thanks for reading!

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.
