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 :)

In the Mood Ditsy with Messy Mansion lace and BPS rhinestones

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago I had some money to spend on nail goodies :) And I really wanted some Messy Mansion plates. There plates are amazing and I only had one and that one was lonely haha. One of the plates I ordered was MM44 the new lace plate. Ofcourse when I got it I had to play with it :) Also the challenge last Sunday in AIS was over a pink base so lace over a pink base it is :) I also got the free rhinestone wheel from Born Pretty Store (some weeks ago if you shared the info and pic about their new rhinestone wheels, you could get a free wheel and I received it) I used some of these too, more about that wheel below.

I love mood polishes and In The Mood Ditsy was still one of my untrieds, and I thought how cool would the color changing look under the lace. They I have dark pink nail with white lace when my hands are cold and light pink when there are warm. It sure makes doing the dishes more fun :)

Well let's show you all the pictures (I took a lot cause it is so much fun to play with water and mood /thermal polishes).

First some pics of the final mani.

Base In the mood Ditsy (a mood/thermal polish that changes from darker to lighter pink). Stamped with Messy Mansion M44 and Konad SN white and added some rhinestones from BPS. Here you can see my tips are a little darker then the rest.

And a pic of my entire hand.

Playing with warm and cold water (ring finger and index are warm and pinkie and middle finger are cold).

And some more playing with water pictures before I added the rhinestones.

Cold

 Normal warm nail bed cold tips.

Pinkie and middle finger cold, ring finger and index warm.

And some swatches of this mood polish.

Warm nailbeds and cold tips

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

Cold

This is how it look like "normal" most of the time, not completely warm nail beds but you do see a subtle gradient.

 And here my nails are warm.

And a wheel with the rest of my InTheMood polishes :)

Also a little review about the Born Pretty Store rhinestone wheel I received. When I first opened the envelop I was confused since I could not see how to open the wheel. It wasn't like the other wheels I have.

Normally you turn it until the opening is above one part of the box but as you can see there isn't an opening ;)

 So I fugured it had to be a sliding system, but it was hard to actually slide it (I did manage to slide it open though) When my boyfriend came home I gave him the wheel and asked him how do you open it haha. At first he was like what? And also looked a little strange and looked closer and said slide it but also could not get it to slide open at first. The postive thing about it is it closes really well, you don't have to be afraid it might accidently slide open .

What I don't like about this kind of wheel that when it is finally open all the little boxes are open too not just one piece. So if you knock it of your table you have a lot of picking up to do :P instead of usually only one box.

But the quality if the rhinestones are really good, sometimes when you put topcoat on it they loose their shine but that did not happen. And they stayed well on my nails only using topcoat to apply them.

So while this kind of wheel is a little unusual to me and do like the stones. And thank you BPS for sending all those people a free wheel.

Thank you all for reading/watching :)

*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 :)

Thanks for reading.

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.
