Holo roses

Hi Everyone,

Here a mani I've done a few weeks ago. I just took some quick phone pictures. I wanted to use the special FUN-WON plate again and my OPI mini sheer tints I got a few months ago from my sweet friend from the US.

Base Color Club Harp on it. Stamped with the roses from the FUN-WON plate and colored them with the OPI mini sheer tints.

Also did a matching pedi.

For the smaller toes I just used the inside part of the rose stamp.

Thanks for reading :)

Have a nice day!

MoYou Nails: Dachshunds in love

Hi Everyone,

Remember I few weeks ago I posted the Dinosaur nails and showed you the plates I got from Moyou Nails I then promised to do another mani with both these plates. Well here it is, I did this earlier but did not had time to blog about them yet.

The base a subtle yellow gradient with Boulevard Ice Cream polish yellow, OPI Need Sunglasses and Essence Cherry Blossom Girl 01 Fortune Cookie.  Stamped the black Dachshunds with Moyou nails 66 and the red and orange flowers from Moyou nails 216. Added some dots in the flowers and dotted the little hearts .Used Konad stamping polishes. I mirror stamped one Dachshund (from stamper to stamper and then on the nail).

Here some pics of the gradient base.

My sister has a wire haired Dachshund and know that these ones aren't the same but still I had to do this Dachshund mani :)

Like I said in my Dinosaur post the plates stamp really well and so does the stamper. The quality is great! Make sure to check out their site for more great plates. And they also have facebook and instagram and twitter for those who have that ;) 

Thanks for reading :)

Penguins at the beach :)

Hi Everyone,

Last week the challenge in one of the groups was penguin nails, since the weather is really warm here I also wanted to do something for the Summer. The theme at the Nail Polish Canada challenge is also Summer. So I've send these in there. You can see all the fun summer mani's and vote by clicking the link.

As most of you know by now I love making scenery/landscape nails and I often also write a story with the mani haha.  Fab Ur Nails and I sometimes do story nails together and we talked about doing them again with this theme too. But later so many others joined too it was so fun. 

First my part of the story:

 “Tropical Holiday” 

Once upon a time there was this cute little penguin girl her name was Sara. Sara did not liked living in Antarctica and wanted a new adventure, so she decided to go on holiday to some place warm. During her holiday she often went to the beach, lying there with a beautiful view on the lighthouse. Swimming in the ocean, cuddling the starfish, making sandcastles, playing with the beach ball and her kite. One day something amazing happened and she saw this super hot penguin "beach" guy.... He noticed her too and it was love at first sight <3  

Base Sinful Colors Snow me White, sponged with OPI Sand in my suit, P2 Blue's time and P2 Who cares? Added some white for the waves. The rest is all stamped. Lighthouse and starfish are from Moyou Sailor 01, palm trees, sandcastle, sun, kite, beach ball are from Nailways Vive la Vie- Beach baby, birds from Stampaholics ST01 and the penguins from FUN8, the flower is Konad M32. 

Like I said we started thinking it was just us 2 so here also the pic of my mani and Johanne aka Fab Ur Nails her mani. Her episode was at the beach in the evening. But I'll paste the complete story below :) Since a few other chapters were added between ours.

Like I said more people joined so I wrote the rest of the storiy too and paste it all together.

 The complete story:

“Tropical Holiday”

Once upon a time there was this cute little penguin girl her name was Sara. Sara did not liked living in Antarctica and wanted a new adventure, so she decided to go on holiday to some place warm. During her holiday she often went to the beach, lying there with a beautiful view on the lighthouse. Swimming in the ocean, cuddling the starfish, making sandcastles, playing with the beach ball and her kite. One day something amazing happened and she saw this super hot penguin "beach" guy.... He noticed her too and it was love at first sight <3 (mani made by Diana van Nisselroy)

“Taking a Swim” 

Sara went for a walk on the beach and visited a great beach shop where she bought a new bikini. She wanted to look at her best for the beach guy. She immediately put it on and it looked so good  on her. After her swim in the ocean she walked around the beach collecting beautiful shells. But her mind was still at the hot guy she saw earlier. (mani made by Laurie Nievin)

“Catch a Wave” 

The beach guy saw this super cute girl on the beach, but later she was gone and he decided to grab his board and catch some waves. During the sunset the sky turned this amazing orange color but all he could think about was that girl and hoping he would  could see her again. (mani made by Notty Norma)

"Magic of Moonlight" 

After the long day and full of fun in the beach Sara was a little shy and believe it or not the hot beach guy was shy too. He thought she was soo beautiful he just did not had the guts to talk to her. When the night fell he finally talked to her. Sara found out his name was James They enjoyed a romantic evening at the beach under the full moon. Listening in the smooth breeze of the sea.. On that romantic evening the penguin love story started .(mani made by Johanne DG aka Fab Ur Nails) 

 “Going tthe Jungle” 

Sara and James were completely in love, both never expected they would find love outside Antarctica. They decided to go the jungle together. That was such a great adventure, seeing purple monkeys, a big frog and a beautiful tiger. They also saw this cute Toucan bird hiding in the bushes. It was such a great day. (mani made by Pamela Feader)  

“Visiting the Pyramids” 

Their journey did not end in the jungle, cause they also went to Egypt to visit the pyramids. The tropical holiday was really warm for a penguin, both compared to the heat in the desert that was nothing. They were extremely hot, but luckily they found a nice oasis. So they could cool down. From the oasis they had a beautiful view on the pyramids. After they cooled down they also went on a camel ride through the desert back to the hotel. (mani made by Sara Sue Sams) 

Is this where to story ends or will there be more chapters? 

After this more people did an episode of the penguin story. I will post the rest someday too ;)

Thanks for reading and if you like you can vote or/and still entered the Nail Polish Canada challenge too.

Earth Day

Hi Everyone,

Just a short post today with my mani for Earth day. I did these really quick before Easter on my right hand (always hard to take a good pic of my right hand haha). It is the same gradient as my bunnies in the garden. Not much later I removed this and also did the bunnies on this hand. Cause I wanted cute bunnies on both hands with Easter haha. But I also did wanted to do an Earth Day mani :) 

A 4 colored gradient base (China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, P2 Who cares?, OPI Bikini Envy and China Glaze I'm with the lifeguard) over a China Glaze Snow. Stamping using CH33 (recycle), FUN2 (earth), Winstonia W104 (Earth Day) and Cheeky XL L (panda). Using Konad SN green, SN blue, SN black, SN white and China Glaze Towel Boy Toy.

Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago I did a Cats playing in the garden mani, but now since it is almost Easter I wanted to do a Easter Bunnies playing in the Garden mani too :) You all know how much I love doing sceneries/landscape nails. And nails which tell a story ;)

Here they are playing in the garden looking for the Golden egg and making new friends with the little chick (that just hatched from his egg see my previous blog).

The neon green grass was hard to photograph and on my mobile I don't even see it, but I do see it pretty well on the computer :)

I took some more pictures with different lighting so you can all see.

A 4 colored gradient base (China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, P2 Who cares?, OPI Bikini Envy and China Glaze I'm with the lifeguard) over a China Glaze Snow. All stamping and coloring using many many many plates and parts of it and a little freehand. 

HB32 (flowers), HB38 (little eggs and little bunny), Konad M29 (part of the ananas for the grass, Konad M66 (higher grass) Bundle Monster BM-H10 (big bunnies and carrot), Cheeky Jumbo XL L (wave basket with eggs), Nailways Snowwhite Weather Forecast (sun), Moyou Mother Nature 01 (other grass and butterfly), Winstonia W105 (big egg) and Winstonia W212 (little chick). Using many Konad polishes (white, black, yellow, psyche green, psyche orange, pastel pink, pastel green, pastel blue, pastel yellow, pastel violet, brown, orange pearl, green, and magenta) and Essence A Piece of Forever for stamping, dotting and coloring.

Here you see the neon green grass and stuff better.

Christmas 2011: Nostaligic Christmas

Hello Everyone,

 

Are you already getting tired of all my Christmas posts? I hope not :)

 

Today something I made last year in my blogging break before Christmas. I called them Nostalgic  nails, because of the decals....they really look old. I bought these decals, did not made those myself. Later I really found it strange/weird that I made Nostalgic Christmas nails...because my mom died 2nd Christmas day and those Christmases we used to have as a family would never be like that again and already feel a bit nostalgic.

 

Base OPI Sheer your Toys (pretty grey with really tiny red glitter) water decals (not self made) and stamped with XL plate B and China Glaze 2030.

 

Another pic with flash.

 

And some swatches of this OPI polish :)

 

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Have a nice weekend.

Christmas 2009: Disney Christmas balls

Hi Everyone,

 

I am blogging more then normal, but I need the distraction so much these days. I really feel bad and miss my mom so much and the closer Christmas gets the closer the day she died gets too :( And I still have a lot of older Christmas nails to show you. So this means more blogposts from me :)

Today I'll show you an oldie again :) Made in 2009. I just love Disney and made these cute decals.

 

Base OPI Give me the Moon. Self made water decals of Disney characters in a Christmas ball. The bows are stamped with Konad M7 and SN green, SN violet pearl, PSN psyche pink, SN red and SN blue.

 

And some swatches of this pretty grey.

 

I think this is a pretty color. I did some Christmas balls decals in 2011 too, will show those tomorrow ;)

Blue and Purple OPI gradient with golden nail art

Hi everyone,

 

These nails I made for the weekly AIS challenge last Sunday. The challenge was to use gold as a base or stamping color...I chose gold as a stamping color.

 

I also really wanted to try my OPI Ger-minis that I got from the sweet Gosia from Live in Color. Thanks again <3 So I made a gradient base with 2 of the OPI's Suzi And The 7 Dusseldorf and Unfor-greta-bly Blue.

 

I have lots of pictures because we have a new camera and I also used my moms and my bf's phone. Still trying to figure out what works best ;)

 

Base a gradient with OPI Suzi And The 7 Dusseldorf and Unfor-greta-bly Blue.Stamped with Essence a Piece of Forever and Konad M90. A very simple design but I liked it a lot :)

 

Some more pictures with different camera's and settings.

 

 

 

 

Some swatches of just the base OPI Suzi And The 7 Dusseldorf.

 

 

 

 

And some pictures of the OPI Germany gradient.

 

 

 

 

 

My nails with Danbo in the back :)

Those of you who also know me on facebook, know I really like Danbo (the cute cardboard box guy) Now I got a "real" Danbo from my sister so I can make my own Danbo adventures pictures :) On my nail facebook page I have a Danbo album with Danbo's nail and other adventures D.I.A.N.A Danbo. But I will also sometimes post a nail related Danbo picture here :)

 

Here is Danbo with the OPI Ger-minis :)

 

Thanks for reading :)

Boohoo my camera died...Piglet in the rain.

Hey everyone,

Last weekend during the World Cup speed ice skating my camera got a lens error. The lens did not wanted to go back in again. A few days before it already started to make a strange noice when I turned it on. I was hoping my dad could fix it but too bad.. my camera died :( So the next few weeks you will probably see some not so great pics :(

I do have the camera that was from my mom, but that one is not so great for taking nail pictures. It's more for filming and panorama pics...it is too advanced I guess, it doesn't have a macro button is switch to macro automaticcly but only when there is enough light otherwise is switch to night mode. Plus I am always scared I might break it too...and it was my moms so I don't know I am just weird ;) On holiday I also only took it with me on trips, not just with me everyday and to the beach and stuff.

Anyway some colors it will photograph correctly and some don't so sorry for maybe some bad pictures to upcoming weeks. I also used my boyfriend's phone sometimes for pics.

This is made with my bf's phone, my hand looks a bit blue but my nail colors are accurate.

Base OPI Cozu-melted in the sun and a bit of Nubar Absolute at the bottom. Stamped with Konad M13 and M79 and SN sky pearl. Piglet in the rain are self made water decals.

Here also some more pictures with different setting on my moms camera.

The swatches are actually not so bad color wise.

I miss my own camera...my dad has some older camera's so maybe one of them will be great for nail pics.
