Diagonal french with dots and butterflies

Hello hello,

 

I once said I have a lot of older mani's that I have never showed on my blog yet or were made when I wasn't blogging (before I started or during my break). As you may have noticed I started showing a lot of my older ones :) Today another older one, made in May 2010.

 

I wasn't really happy with the result, but did liked the color combo. For this french tip I did use stickers, normally I do it freehand but since this one was diagonal that was really hard for me so I just the top of SMart nail templates.

 

Base China Glaze French Bliss Oooo la la pink pearl, french China Glaze Snow. Stamped with M60 the dots SN yellow, PSN green, SN sky blue, SN violet pearl and SN pink pearl. Butterflies on tips with M78 sky blue/pop green and pink pearl/violet pearl.

 

Enjoy your weekend!

Soccer/Football month: Yoshi can kick some balls (Word Cup 2010)

Hi everyone,

I made these for the second match in the World Cup in 2010. I so love Yoshi from Nintendo, it's my favourite Nintendo character. My sisters dog is called Yoshi too. So I wanted to make some supporting soccer/football nails with Yoshi.

Base is OPI Seagullible. And self made water decals of Yoshi kicking some footballs :) Stamped with Konad M60 and SN red, white and blue. Finished with a layer of China Glaze wireless holographic topcoat.

A cute Yoshi stuffed animal.

 Look at those sweet faces :)

Are you already tired of my soccer/football mani's? Or do you like the theme? I still have a few more to show you :)

Claire's Mood Polish Calm/Wild (swatches and nail art)

I had this lovely nail polish on my nails a couple of weeks ago. But I haven't posted them on my blog yet. I took a lot of photos, most of them I had my hands under the water so that's why they are a bit shiny in a lot of photos. I did not had time to dry them because it was cold and when I made them hot they would have been already cold again when I'd dried them before I took a photo ;)

I really love this polish, love the finish it kind off reminded me of OPI Suede. I really like mood/color changing polishes ♥ I'm don't have any topcoat on my nails when I took the photos.

Normal... warm (pink) nail beds and cold (purple) tips.

Cold.... everything is purple.

Warm.... everything is pink.

Warm index and ring finger, cold middle finger and pinkie.

Ring and index finger are normal, middle finger and pinkie are cold.

Here a photo of the bottle that I held under warm water.

The upper half is warm and the rest is cold.

I also took some photos in different lighting.

Normal.

Cold.

Warm.

Index and ring finger are warm, middle finger and pinkie are cold.

Again a normal photo with some different lighting.

I also did some nail art on it, but because this polish has so much shimmer it was really difficult to take a good photo. Also the stamping polish was shiny so it was like one big shimmery metallic bomb when I wanted to take a photo with flash or under some bright lighting.

Stamped with Konad M60 and Essence stampy silver polish on my index and ring finger and China Glaze Admire on my middle finger and pinkie.

Have a nice day!
