Merry Christmas from Mickey and Disney friends ;)

Hi Everyone,

 

Let's start by wishing all my lovely readers a wonderful Christmas (Eve). Although I don't really feel up to it, we will have to make the best of it, but I do really miss my mom :(

I made these nails Friday, I am currently busy making new Christmas nails so I just removed these ;) But these were on my nails this weekend when I went Christmas shopping with my sister to Maastricht and Valkenburg (there you have Christmas markets in the marl caves that is always very pretty). My boyfriend had to work the whole weekend :( so he couldn't come so it was a sisters only day :) It was a really fun day but we were totally soaked from the rain :( I will also show some pictures of our trip and Danbo who went with us ;) Most of the time we spent in the train..since it is a 3 hours trip from the center of Holland to the south. But my sis and I always talk sooo much that the time flies by.

 

Base Essence 50's girls reloaded 01 Ahoy with Golden Rose Paris magic 301 for the golden shimmer over the white base. Stamped with BM301 and SN wine red and SN green. And the Disney cuties are again self made and designed water decals. I added the bone with bow, the Christmas hat, the candy cane, the present and the tree myself.

 

Here another picture.

 

 

Here some pictures of our trip :)

Christmas 2011: Winnie the Pooh cuties

Hello Everyone,

 

Today something from 2011 again. These nails were very special to me I made them while my mom was in the hospital and had surgery. We did not know back then she would never wake up again :( We left the hospital very late that evening and my current nails weren't pretty at all any more and I felt weird standing beside her bed with chipped nails. She wouldn't expect that of me, so really late in the evening I did my nails really quick. When I need to do something quick I always choose a holo polish. I did not bring much nail stuff to my parents place but I did had some decals and plates.

 

My mom knew I really like Disney so I used these Disney cuties water decals that I made and designed myself. I made them Christmassy adding the stocking, hat, tree, present, candy cane etc.

 

Seeing these nails makes me sad again, because she never saw them anymore. And I used to love showing my nails every week to my mom. And with these nails I spent a week until 2nd Christmas (the day she died) living in the hospital. We also slept there (well tried to sleep there was one extra bed so we took shifts) and  we only left sometimes to get some food and feed our pets. But my mom and dad's place is only 5 minutes by bike from the hospital. My dad never left and even showered there, the moment she did really died I wasn't there (I was just at home to take a shower) and I blame myself and it makes me mad. Because my sister slept a couple of nights at home because she couldn't leave her dog alone so many nights and nothing happened. And I just left 5 minutes after staying with her all the time and she died and I missed that :( it still feel so bad :( Some people say that maybe she wanted to spare me that final moment of turning really white with blue finger nails, but to me it feels like I let her down and I wasn't there for her and that feeling sucks.

So these nails really remind me of that period :( and are very special to me.

 

Base China Glaze Sexagon (my favorite silver holo). Self made and designed water decals of the Winnie the Pooh cuties. And stamped the stars from Konad M3 with SN red.

Also something weird, we did decorated the trees at my mom and dad's place and at my boyfriend place while she was in the hospital, because after the first surgery it went well and they were saying that maybe she could be home with Christmas...unfortunately that never happened. The Christmas decorations at my parent's place are always silver and at me and my boyfriends place they are red. So I realized later that these nails represent both colors of both my homes (I offically still live with my parents ;)) and I often decorate my nail room with Disney Christmas stuff.

But this year I decorated the door of out living room with Winnie the Pooh :)

 

 

Thanks for reading.
 

xoxox sad me :(

Golden holo Christmas nails with red stars.

Hi Everyone,

 

I made these nails last week, when I removed my Fashion Inspired fail nails ;) I really did like those and removed them the same evening. And like I said when I need to do something really quick I always grab a holo polish....they just dry soooo fast :)

 

Base China Glaze It's my turn from the Kaleidoscope collection, this was the last one of that collection that I still hadn't used for a full base color. Stamped with Konad SN red and SN black and imageplate A-NW00002 Nailways Snowwhite -Christmas plate.

 

Another pic.

 

 And of course some swatches of this very pretty golden holo.

 

 

 

The China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection is my all time favorite collection...I sooo love it.

 

Enjoy your Saturday!

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 2011: Chococat in a Christmas ball :)

Hello Everyone,

Like I said yesterday I made Christmas ball decals again in 2011. Did this during my blogging break, while my mom was really sick. I also did Chococat decals this year, Chococat in the stocking..saying I wanted a kitty for Christmas. I used that same Chococat image in 2011 but than placed in balls instead of stockings :)

Base Essence 50's Girls Reloaded 04 Love me Tender. Self made/ designed water decals of Chococat in Christmas balls. Stamped with Konad M76 and SN yellow, SN psyche pink, SN green, SN blue and SN red.

I really liked the color but did not liked the finish and it was a bit brush strokey ;) But luckily those weren't showing all the time. See swatches.

Thanks for reading.

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 ;)

Base Golden Rose Paris Magic 308 (a gorgeous shimmer red that is hard to photograph) Saran wrapped with China Glaze Snow. Stamped with Konad SN white and M9 and the bow from the candy cane on M12 in SN red.

I really did not liked how the saran wrapped nails turned out...you can still see where my inspiration is coming from, but I removed these nails the same night..lol. I did not wanted to spent my Saturday with these nails ;)

A picture of the Christmas dress.

And my nails again.

Of course some swatches of the red base...that was really hard to capture. You still see a bit of visable nail line. But it really is a pretty red.
