Pink & Hearts: Beste Twin Nails with The Beauty Of Nail Polish

Hi Everyone,

Earlier this week Tara from The Beauty Of Nail Polish contacted me if I wanted to do #bestietwinnails with her. I was really honored she wanted me do that with her :) I have never done bestie twin nails. Ofcoure I did do the story nails with Fab Ur Nails and others, but no bestie twin nails. So I was double excited...my first twin mani and with a very talented nail artist. 

We talked on facebook and decided to do something loved themed since it will be Valentine's Day next month. She suggested we both should do a pink mani with hearts, no specific plates or polishes just this theme. And the rest was up to us how to interpret this theme. 

You can follow her on Facebook too here a link to her page. And she is also on Instagram @thebeautyofnailpolish and as you know I recently joined the IG world too @dianavnisselroy if you like to follow me too ;)

Now let's show both our mani's.

I love how we both used different kind of pink tones. It is so fun to see how we both interpreted this theme. And I seriously love her mani, especially her ring finger is mesmerizing.

Now also a closer look to my mani with all the details.

I sponged my base using Konad SN pastel pink (I really wanted the base color to be the same as the stamped images so it would blend well) and Only You 015 Pink Party! (that brand is from a local drugstore called ICI Paris XL) On top I used Essence 25 Let Stars Rain Down On Me a holo glitter topcoat (a bit similar to INM out the door silver). Stamped the hearts with the french tip image from Konad M73 with Konad SN pastel pink. The bigger and small hearts are from Nailways Spring Time - Love is in the Air stamped with Konad SN magenta.

I liked how this turned out with the gradient and the french tip design and tone on tone :) 

Here also a picture from the gradient base. Too bad you can't really see the holo sparkle that good.

If you like to know the details on Tara her mani go over to her blog: The Beauty Of Nail Polish.

Thank you for doing this fun Bestie Twin Nails with me, I look foward to doing more in the future.

Thanks for reading!

Have a nice weekend :)

"Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Hi everyone,

Here is my Rudolph mani with his "real" antlers made of twigs and his big shiny rhinestone nose. Sometimes I like being a little crazy and do something 3D (remember when I used my hair, toilet paper a real feather :)).

Anyway this is just a short post cause I have only one picture ;)

Base China Glaze Nail Lacquer Ruby Pumps and some gold glitter from Alessandro Nederland 297 on the tips. Ring finger is Born Pretty Bgirl white textured polish. Stamped with Bundle Monster BM H01 Rudolph and the snowflakes. Colored the big rhinesstone nose with Ruby Pumps too. And used twigs to make his antlers :) LOL.

Thanks for reading.

Happy 2014!

Hi Everyone,

For some people in the world it is already 2014 so for those I say Happy 2014 :) I still have to wait a little less then 10 hours before it is midnight here. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe New Years Eve. Be careful with fireworks.

Here are my New Years nails from this year :)

Base Barry M Multi Glitter 333, sponged with Kleancolor metallic green, pink, yellow and blue. Stamped the firework full nail from BM-H14 in these colors on my thumb. Made a stamping decal of the clock on that plate, colored it with Kleancolor metallic yellow and Konad SN white. Stamped the Happy New Year from Nailways Snowwhite - New Years A-NW00004 plate and also the fireworks from that plate with Konad SN white. The numbers are the plate numbers from BM-H20 and BM-H14.  

I figured that when I put topcoat on the white with the sponged metallic underneath it would change color (that often happens with these metallics)...but in this case I don't mind :) and like it.  

A little inspired by a freehand mani from Polish Dept who put color underneath white fireworks.

Some more pictures with different lighting.

And here before I put topcoat on. As you can see the stamping is still white ;)

Wish you all the best for 2014 with ofcourse also lots of polish, stamping and other nail art :)

Thanks for reading!

Gold, Holo glitter, Santa and Holly

Hi Everyone,

Today just a quick mani I did earlier this week. I haven't done my nails all week and I planned to help my friend yesterday in his new house, painting, putting wallpaper up etc. And my Santa sleigh mani was chipped, I am always afraid my nails break sooner when I have chipped nails or no polish on. So I had to do something fast to make them "job-resistant" ;) And this base polish with glitter made my nails really firm.

Base Flormar 394 (gold with holo glitter) stamped the holly and Santa with MC-02 and MC-06 (cheap no brand plates from Tedi Shop Germany). Made a stamping decal of Santa. Used Konad black, green, red, white and a peachy mix I've made.

Another pic of my hand.

And some swatches of this pretty polish.

I love the polishes from Flormar :)

Thanks for reading.

A Fairytale ♥

Hi Everyone,

When I saw some of the Moyou plates this Summer I knew I wanted to make certain mani's with them. One of them was the cherry blossom with owls I showed you some months ago. Another one was the mani I'll show you today :) I just had to have this plate to do this mani. But somehow I waited a few month to actually do it hahaha. I did these last week. And was happy with how they turned out. The challenge last Sunday in AIS was I am in the mood for....well I was in the mood for fairytales and happy endings ;) When I posted this mani friday in another nail group I also wrote a little story with them. Someone once said on one of my mani's it reminded her of  children books illustrations :), so was a bit crazy and thought let's write the story too haha. It is the story on my nails:

It is a beautiful starry night in WONvillage*. The moon is full and 1000 of stars shine bright. The fairy is watching over the castle and keeps an eye on the princess when the king and queen leave in their carriage with horses. The evil witch is already on her way to the castle to kidnap the princess but pegasus makes sure she won't come closer :)  So the princess will get a goodnight sleep and she will never know of the danger lurking outside the castle walls. Cause her magical friends will protect her <3 

*WON is the name of the group

Gradient with Color Club Puccilicious, Hits Frapê 416 and Hits Edicao Limitada 205. China Glaze Fairy Dust on top. Stamped with Konad SN black and Moyou London Princess 07 (fairy, castle, carriage, horses, witch) And Moyou Princess 04 (pegasus). Stamped the stars with Konad SN pastel yellow and Moyou Princess 07. Twinkle stars with Color Club Worth the Risque and Moyou Festive (aka Christmas) 01 but those aren't showing very well on the pic. Also stamped the rein (?) from the carriage and the horses with parts of the necklace image on Princess 07.

Some more picture of the mani.

I went swimming this weekend and in the pool you can dive and see aquaria undewater, so I had to take a pic of my nails too (love playing with our underwater camera). Too bad the fishes wouldn't show up while I took the pics ;)

 In the right corner you can see a yellow fish.

Here a better pic of the fishes.

And a picture of just the gradient base.

Halloween nails and party pics of us :)

Hi Everyone,

Like I said before we went to a Halloween party Saturday night. I'll show you my nails and some pics of how we look liked :) We had sooo much fun. I looked similiar to last year but I don't have money to buy a new dress every year lol ;) So we did our make up a bit differently. I always love putting make up on my bf but he doesn't like at all and keeps on flashing his eyes and wont sit still, so it was really hard to do haha (let's not even talk about the removing part lol) But I liked the result and we had fun that is what is most important. The people there liked it too cause we (especially he) were photographed often.

Let's start with the nails.

Base Beauty UK Midnight Minx and sponged the tips with Julie G Cinnamon. Stamped the webs with Color Club Worth the Risque and Nailways Darker Period Halloween A-NW00016 plate. The spiders are also from that plate, stamped with Konad SN white. The skull is from Moyou Roxy collection 01. Added some studs for his eyes that I colored red :)

Here a pic of the webs without the spiders.

And a pic of just the base.

And here all 3 together. I kinda liked these looks all 3 of them haha.

And some pics of our night out the Halloween party :)

 Me, my boyfriend and my big sis.

My sis and I, I sooo loved her contacts soo cool those scary eyes and they were her strength too so she could see well. I can't stand anything in my eyes, but those contacts would be so cool to wear. I was jealous of her ;)

 Me.

 And impression of the night there.

 Sisters.

 Dancing together.

 My sis her outfit.

 My boyfriend and my sis.

 My bf and I :)

 He acting goofy :)

 This guy was soooo creepy, it was a mask and wig but looked soo scary haha.

And the picture made by the Stairway to Heaven that was on their FB too.

Thanks for watching/reading :)

Hope you all had a nice Halloween.

Sea and shells

Hi everyone,

Today something I've made a few weeks ago, like I said I am so behind with posting. I actually did this when the challenge in AIS was saran wrap, but never posted them...lol :)

Base P2 Far East So close LE 030 Bluish green, saran wrapped with Catrice 400 Blue Cara Ciao. On my ring finger just the P2 polish with a layer of Barry M confetti effect Bubblegum. Stamped with Cheeky Jumbo 2 Tropical Holiday and Konad SN white.

And as you all know by know I love making a matching pedi in the Summer :)

And some swatches of just the P2 base polish.

  

And a pic of the saran wrap base and the Barry M confetti ring finger.

Sunset Julie G texture gradient with beach stamping

Hi Everyone,

I've made these nails a few weeks ago. Cristina from The Clockwise Nail Polish asked me if I wanted to write a guest blog for her blog. And of course I wanted to do that, I felt so honored she asked me :) I love her blog and her nails. This mani is currently on her blog. So I thought let's share it here today too :)

I had to use my new Stampaholics plate, it's one of my favorite plates. This plate totally screams "ME" haha I just had to have it. I also wanted to use my new polishes I got in a RAOK from the sweet Christina (not Cristina those are 2 different ladies both very sweet tho ;))

Sunset Julie G texture gradient with beach stamping I made a sea/sunset gradient with 5 textured polishes from Julie G. Frosted Gumdrop collection. I used Hot Cinnamon, Sugar Rush, Tangerine Dream, Rock Candy and Blueberry Fizz. Stamped with Konad SN black and imageplate Stampaholics ST01. I also stamped with Konad SN white. And some images I colored and stamped over them again in a different color. I used a topcoat over it all.  

I also try to mirror my right hand (not like really mirror stamping but trying to place the images different). That doesn't always work with every image, but here is my right hand too. (I suck at taking pics with left so don’t mind the weird position of my fingers hahaha).

 

Also some picture without a topcoat over the stamping. First my left hand again. 

And  my right (bad picture) hand too ;)

And ofcourse some swatches of the gradient textured base.

 This is without topcoat.

And here with topcoat.

If you like you can read my guestblog on The Clockwise Nail Polish here and of course follow Cristina her amazing blog. 

If you also like this amazing ST01 Stampaholics plate you can ordered it here on the facebook page. She only has one plate so far, but I think it's amazing and can't wait to see what else she might make in the future.

Thank you all for reading!
