It's Summer ♥ Happy Birthday to me!

Today the summer offically starts here in Holland, but I think it got lost on his way ;) It looks more like autumn when you look outside. But today is also my birthday. So I made some birthday nails, no balloons or cupcakes but summer sunset holographic nails. I love holo polishes and also really love the beach and palm trees and other summer stuff :)

For the base I used 5 colors from the China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection: Kaleidoscope Him Out, It's my Turn, Rated Holographic, Don't be a Square and Tickle my Triangle. Together they create a beautiful sunset on the beach ;) I did not sponged it just painted it layer by layer. And I stamped some Konad SN black palm trees with M29.

It's a simple creation but I like it, the base is already sooo beautiful on his own :) I love holo ♥  So I took a lot of photos :)

Just my hand.

I also took a lot of photos of just the base.

Without flash or any direct light/daylight. So you can see the different colors I used better.

Palm tree sunset

Here is another palm tree creation, I made this in august 2009.

I used all kinds of China Glaze nailpolish for the base, don't know which one anymore but a lot from the Fiji Fling collection. And on top Nfu Oh no 43 for the flakies. The palm tree I stamped with Konad M29 and SN gold black. The waves I made with a toothpick and white nailpolish.

I always like to make my feet match with my hands during the summer time :)

Sometimes people ask me if my right hand looks the same as my left, so here is a picture of both.

Palm beach

Sorry I've been really busy and just had no time to post something new. Because my first weekly creation was with palm trees I thought it would be fun to show some older creations in the same theme.

So here is a creation I made in June 2009 with my birthday (the day the summer starts)

I sponged the base with Konad SN pastel yellow,  SN pastel blue, SN sky blue and glitter. The palm tree is from plate M29 with SN brown and SN green, the flower is from M26 with SN cool red. The waves are from plate S2 and I used SN white.

(don't look at my thumb it broke and looks really sad :( )

On my birthday my boyfriend and I went to the beach. The weather was not really nice but it was really lovely just to walk there. And I just had to take a picture there.

Romantic Sunset

This is my first weekly nailart creation. I wanted to do this for a long time and then the sweet Ellen decided to host a contest on my favorite forum Beautiful nails for you with the theme Beach and Love. So I thougt it with be perfect to make it for that contest. She had a couple of rules: must use yellow and red, and use rhinestones or glitter.

The base I made with 6 different colors acrylic paint and a fan brush. The palmtrees I stamped with Konad SN Black and S2, the dolphin is from A02. The love couple on my ringfinger and thumb are self made water decals. I used yellow glitter below at my cuticles.

Here is a picture of just the base without Konad.

The weather ain't that good here in Holland, but I'm still going on my summer vacation next month. So this creation is perfect to get it the mood.
