Valentines Day 2016: Heart shaped love letters

Happy Valentines Day for my lovely readers!

Here are my Heart shaped love letters and these are my actual Valentines Day nails..heart shaped love letters, lace and some bling ;)

Essence 46 Black is back for the base, I double processed stamped the heart shaped love letters (first picked up the writing MM24 with BPS black then the hearts MM03 with MdU 25 so I could stamped the hearts with writing on my nails) Also added some lace MM44 (too bad the picture doesn't show the lace details well) On my ring finger I outlined the heart with tiny silver rhinestones. 

Happy Valentines Day :)

Romantic Summer Beach Scenery

Hi Everyone,

Here my mani and pedi I did before the weekend. I wanted to do another summer beach scenery. I always love doing that and especially with bright neon colors.

Base a gradient sponged over white using China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, China Glaze That's Shore Bright, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy and China Glaze Sun Worshiper. And added a subtle spectraflair topcoat on top for the holo sparkle.  Palm trees are from Nailways Vive la Vie- Beach baby, little dolphin, waves, boat, lighthouse from Moyou Sailor 01, big dolphin and birds from Stampaholics ST01, part of plam tree leaf from H10, love couple from Messy Mansion MM03. And a little freehand.

And ofcourse a matching pedi.

Toes no white base just sponged without the orange color and on the rest of my toes only Flip Flop fantasy. The love couple is made with parts from Moyou Mother Nature 01.

And here my other foot.

And a picture of the gradient base.

I was really happy with this mani and still have it on my nails :)

♥ HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY IN HEAVEN ♥

Hi Everyone,

Sunday (tomorrow) it is Mother's Day. Seeing all those commercials, advertisements and interviews about moms and their kids makes me a little extra sad and teary. My mommy is an angel and with days like this I miss her even more. As most of you know she died waaay too young with Christmas 2,5 years ago :(

The nail art challenge theme in different groups this week was Mother's Day, so I made an Angel in Heaven with blue sky, white clouds and hearts. Wishing her a Happy Mother's Day in Heaven. I love doing something special for her.

Base P2 Satin Supreme 050 royal residence. Stamped the full nail clouds with Konad SN white and Moyou Artist 10 also used that plate for the Angel. The small hearts are from Moyou Mother Nature 01 and the bigger heart from FUN7, the word mom in the heart is from Moyou Biker 08. And the words "Happy Mothers Day in Heaven” are made from the titles of the Moyou plates....well that was so difficult to do pffffff. Stamped the letters on a ziplock baggy to make a stamping decal from it, so hard to line them up. Used Konad SN black, SN red, SN white and a nude color from Impala that I forgot the name of for stamping and coloring.

I did not really liked my thumb with the winged heart but I did take a picture of it.

 Used Messy Mansion MM03 for the heart, Moyou Roxy 01 for the wings and FUN12 for the word mom.

And ofcourse a swatch of the base polish.

I really liked the satin finish in this.

This mani is for all the mommies who are Angels <3

Have a nice weekend and lovely Mother's Day, give your moms an extra hug from me.

*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 :)

Valentine's Day in Paradise

Hi Everyone,

Today another mani I made last weeks. Made these for a Valentine's challenge on Nailpolis. I wanted to do a V-day mani like how I would love to spend my Valentine's Day...somewhere in Paradise, warm, the beach, the ocean hmmm :) A few years ago I did a romantic mani like this, together with stamping and self made water decals see here. It inspired me to do something like this now too, but since I now own love couple plates I made it an all stamping mani (and a little tiny bit of freehand) :)

So I made a romance under the moonlight, with a beautiful (love) boat) an airplane making a heart in the sky and even the dolphins are in love <3

Base 3 holo's from Teeez Cool 02, Smooth 01, Outta Control 01. Stamped with Konad SN black and China Glaze OMG. Using Messy Mansion MM03 (love couple), Stampaholics ST01 (dolphins), Nailways Vive la vie Beach baby (palm trees), Vivid Lacquer VL023 (boat), HB29 (heart in sky) Nailways Vive la vie Vacation (airplane) MoYou Mother Nature 01 (heart above dolphins) and Konad M14 (silver twinkle stars). And a little freehand (moon, islands, waves).

Another picture.

And a picture of just the holo base.

Thanks for reading.

Love is in the air

Hi everyone,

I just really wanted to use my only Messy Mansion plate again. So I decided to make my first love themed nails this year. And I wanted to try this untried pretty polish from W.I.C. by Herome from the Norway collection. I also cut my nails last week, we are busy painting and redecorating the attic so shorter means less chance of breaking ;) (I already had two breaks that I repaired so now cut them off).

Base W.I.C by Herome: Hamar 253 (Norway collection). Stamped the full nail from Messy Mansion MM03 and Konad SN light bronze and in Konad SN black on my ring finger. And the love couple over the black hearts with Konad SN light bronze too.

Another picture.

And some swatches of this color.

I really like this color and had it on my nails without stamping for 2 days :) Like I said busy painting the house so sometimes they did had white paint splatter on them, but could easily wipe that off ;)

Also a pic with everything also a wheel with swatches of the rest of the W.I.C Norway collection.

Thanks for reading.

Have a nice weekend!

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.

Black with metallic hearts (V-day 2013)

Hi Everyone,

I know it is a bit late but here is my mani I actually had on my nails on Valentine's Day and this weekend. I did not wanted something too sweet/pink since I was going to a concert this weekend too. And I already made some girly pink mani's for V-day. So I chose a black base with skittle metallic hearts.

Base Beauty UK Midnight Minx black. Stamped with 5 different metallics from China Glaze 2030, Sci-fi, Admire, Metallic Muse and Harmony and Konad SN black for the words. The imageplate is MM03 from Messy Mansion. 

Some more pictures with different lighting, because the base and the metallics were so shiny it was hard to take a good picture.

No swacth picture this time because I've already show Beauty UK Midnight Minx black before.

I hope you all had a lovely V-day and weekend.

A Romance in the Snow

Hi Everyone,

It's getting colder again and maybe next week we will have snow, so I decided to make snowflake nails (again hahaha). I just got this polish and the collection name Snow Jam also fits the theme. And I really wanted to use my new MM03 love plate from Messy Mansion. I just had to have this plate because of the love couples, I used to make love couple decals (as you may remember from some Summer mani's?) but know I can stamp them too. Plus the rest of the plate is also great, and will make more mani's with it this month since it is almost Valentine's Day and the images on this plate are perfect for that :)

I did something similair last year click here. Also with a blue base and snowflakes but without the love couples.

Base Essence Snow Jam LE 01 Goofy-Blue (such a pretty blue with silver shimmer/glass flecks) Stamped with HB23 the bigger blue and white snowflakes using Konad SN pastel blue and SN white. The little snowflakes are from Konad M11 and the love couples from MM03 both stamped with Konad SN white.

Also some swatches of this pretty polish. I really like this color :)

Thank for reading and enjoy your weekend!
