The Great Polish Giveaway of 2014

Hi Everyone,

Nail Polish Canada is hosting The Great Polish Giveaway of 2014 They've partnered with Cirque Colors, NCLA & Picture Polish to host the biggest giveaway ever.  One winner will take home up to 200 nail polish from over 10 different brands! The prize starts at zero, then bloggers can each pick a favourite shade to be added to the prize.  You can enter on their website. And you can also enter once on each blog that adds a shade to the prize.

The prize is currently 186 shades.

I chose to add Nfu Oh 63

I love holo polishes and Nfu Oh 63 was one of my first holographic polishes. I also really love these bottles. Ofcourse I have some swatches for you of this beautiful polish. The holo rainbow effect is really strong especially in the sun or under artificial light.

Also my mani with nail art I posted these before a few years ago but here it is again. Done with stamping and the flowers are selfmade water decals.

Like I said you can enter on their website but for more entries you can also enter here. I don't have twitter so this is the twitter account from Nail Polish Canada. But like me on facebook for an extra entry. And make sure to check out all the polishes and enter on other blogs too.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

I am not really sure if this is only for US/Canadian residents or for US/Canadian addresses. The last option would mean that if an international person will win they have to provide an US/Canadian address, but most of us nail addicts have friends world wide so that shouldn't be a problem. I asked NPC so if I know the exact anwser I'll let you know.

EDIT: it is only for US/Canadian residents so sorry for everyone who doesn't live in the US or Canada

Have a nice weekend and good luck!

A day on the water :)

Hi Everyone,

I've made this a few months ago really quick. My sister and doggy were staying with us the entire weekend and it was nice weather so we rented a small boat in Giethoorn (also called Dutch Venice ;)) and had a lot of fun.

Color Club Eternal Beauty full nail stamped with Nfu-OH 65 and Nailways A-NW00010 Vive La Vie - Beach Baby. The boat stamped with Konad SN white and colored over it with neon stripers used Nailways A-NW00011 Vive La Vie - On the Water .

Holo on holo is always hard to photograph so here some more pics.

And some swacthes of this pretty holo from Color Club.

Also some pics of that day ;)

  A little stop to visit some of the cute shops there.

Captain Davy ;)

No no nooo don't go through that tree there are all kinds of insects living in there....eeeks :(

 Rock rock rock that boat.

 Beautiful water lily.

 Playing with the lily.

 Of course you see some cow on the route

 Yoshi had the day of her life :) loved sitting there seeing everything.

 Pee stop ;)

Pretty old house. Looks like from a creepy movie or something.

Thanks for reading.

Christmas 2009: Disney babies ♥

Hello Everyone,

I want to thank everyone who voted for me the last 3 weeks in the Nail Polish Canada holiday challenge. I can't actually win anything since I am not in the US or Canada but I did had fun and appreciated your votes :)

Today I'll show you something old :) I made these in 2009. Not so good cleaned up, but like I said several times I do like sharing my older creations too. And despite the bit messy cutticles I still think these are cute ;) (only my nails are a bit too long).

 

Base is China Glaze Snow with Nfu Oh 38 flakies. Stamped with Konad M12 the holly and the words Merry Christmas. Using SN wine red and SN green. The Disney Christmas babies are selfmade water decals :)

 

 With different light, you see the flakies a bit better.

 

And of course a swatch of just the white base with flakies. 

China Glaze Snow with Nfu Oh 38.

 

Thanks for reading :) I still have a lot of other older Christmas creations to show you :)

It's a snowy day!

Hi Everyone,

 

I made these nails last week, before I I made them a bit shorter ;) I realy love making themed nails. They predicted snow this weekend so I decided to make an ice cold winter snowy day on my nails.

 

Base Essence 50's girls reloaded 01 Ahoy with a gradient of Essence You Rock 05 Speed of light blue, China Glaze Towel Boy Toy and China Glaze Splish Splash. Topcoat Catrice C06 Godfather of pearl for the blue shimmer/glitter. Stamped with XL O (it's a dupe from XL K), Nailways' own Christmas plate (snowwhite collection) A-NW00002, BM318, BM319, HB012, HB23, M11 and M12. Stamped with Konad SN white and Nfu Oh 65 (light blue holo).

 

Different light.

 

And some pictures of the gradient base. I really liked this gradient :)

 

 

 

 

I really like blue :)

 

This weekend I went to Germany to a Christmas Fair with my sis and my boyfriend. I got some nice cheap polishes for Christmas already :) 3 Flormars and one holo from Kiko...I was soo happy loveee holo.

 

It was already nine o'clock in the evening. But the shops and the market were open until 10.

 

Me and my sis at the Christmas fair/market or how you call it ;)

 

Here you see a crazy pic of me at the Christmas fair with my Chococat nails. It was snowing really hard, it was wet snow but did stayed on my hair and sleeve.

 

If you look closely you see the snow falling. It was sooo cold and we were soaked, so went inside the shopping mall again for some hot choco ;)

 

I got this cute warm microwave stuffed animal from boyfriend. If you put it in the microwave it becomes really warm...perfect for cold days. They had many kinds but I loved the black sheep...I sometimes also feel like a black sheep ;)

 

Me and my black sheep after the long cold snowy Christmas market shopping day.

Blue with Dolphins

Hello Hello,

 

For today I have another older mani. I made this one in April 2010.

 

Base P2 191 Gigantic a very bright dark blue. Stamped with Nfu Oh 65 and M73 and the dolphins are from GCOCL A02 stamped with SN pastel blue.

 

Here also a swacth of this P2 polish.

It is a really bright blue and was hard to capture correctly.

Blue with butterflies and holo

Here something I did a month ago. Not really one of my favourites but it was just something I made fast and I wanted to use one of my untried polishes.

Base is Catrice 400 Blue Cara Ciao with Golden Rose Magic no 327 on top. The photos don't do this polish justice ;) Stamped with Konad M73 and Nfu Oh 65 and Konad M41 and SN white. Added some big blue transparent glitter on the butterflies in the middle.

 Different light.

Only the full nail stamping with M73 and Nfu Oh no 65.

Here some swatches, but it really looked soooo much prettier in real life. So saw more kinds of blue also turquoise.

I do really like blue nail polish :)

Inspired by music/song challenge (Bon Jovi)

Today I'll show you my creations I made for the inspired by your favourite music/song challenge. I don't really have one favourite band or music style but I do like these songs for many years now. And my mom also liked Bon Jovi especially the song Bed of Roses.

This is my 1st for this challenge inspired by these lyrics:

  

It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you I give up.

Bon Jovi - Always

I actually found this one funny... it tells a story ;) But not pretty and I only had this on one hand and went out the door with it, with on my other hand something completely different ;)

It's been raining and the water level is rising on each finger. On my ring finger a girl who's been left by her boyfriend looking sad waving goodbye with a broken heart. And the water level keeps on rising and on my thumb it's at the top. And the girl just gave up looking sad/angry she is drowning in the flood (all the bubbles of her last breath).

Base China Glaze Moody Blue, water sponged with PSN sky blue on top a layer of Maybelline Bolt of blue 140 for the glitter. Rain stamped with Konad SN blue and M13, waves to make it more look like water from H20 (SN pastel blue), broken heart from M18 (made it broken myself) girls from Coraline C02 and C05 (SN black pearl), bubbles from M16, M34 and M35 (SN blue, black pearl).

My 2nd creation was also from a song from Bon Jovi and I did these because it was also one of my moms favourite songs.

I wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as, the Holy Ghost is,
and lay you down on a bed of roses.

Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses

These I found a lot prettier ;) and did it on both hands and I'm still wearing it.

Somehow I really love blue and I was in a blue mood so I chose for a blue base again. Base is Teeez Cool 02 a blue holographic polish and on my ring finger Nfu Oh 65 a light blue holo. I stamped some roses from M65 with SN black pearl on them and on my ring finger a love couple (self made water decal) from a guy who'd love to lay his girl on a bed of roses ;) also stamped a blue rose from M25 with SN blue and SN black pearl above them.

I know there is a lot more to the song then just that one sentence, but I only used the Bed of Roses part literally for this creation ;)

I hope you like my music inspired creations :)
