Summer neon gradient: Turn Up The Beach

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for not blogging for a while but I haven't felt like blogging (some bad/sad stuff at home) that keeps me busy. But that doesn't mean I haven't done my nails ;) On Saturday July 13th I went to the Turn Up The Beach music party so of course I had to make some matching beachy nails. And also have some pics of that day :)

A white base and sponged with China Glaze - Sun-Kissed, China Glaze - Orange you Hot?, China Glaze - Surfin' For Boys, Digital Color Cream Make Me Up - F1 and Digital Color Cream Make Me Up - F20. And a holo spectraflair mix topcoat on top. Stamped with Nailways Vive la Vie A-NW00010 Beach Baby and Kleancolor metallic black. And a self made water decal of the logo of Turn Up The Beach.

My nails on the festival with the main stage and the music tower in the back.

Some pictures of the gradient base.

 With different lighting.

Some pictures of our day there, unfortunately 2 friends could not come so we were just with 4 people.

 My boyfriend, me and my big sister.

 Chilling on the ground with our stamped feet and the sun.

And it was finished.

Of course I also had a matching pedi.

We had a fun day there, it isn't really my kind of music but I always love a nice party at the beach when the weather is good :)

Thanks for reading.

Summer Fruity nails :)

Hi Everyone,

It's finally really Summer here in Holland. So I wanted to use a bright neon and make happy Summer nails last weekend.

Base China Glaze Pink Plumeria over a nude P2 polish. Stamped with Nailways Vive la Vie A-NW00009 Eat an Apple. With Konad SN black, SN red, SN green, SN yellow, PSN cool red. I mixed some colors and over the apple, pineapple and bananas I added some neon stripers to make it more pop.

And some more pictures.

In the Summer I always love making a matching pedi with my mani :) So I did.

Matching toes and fingers.

And ofcourse some swatches of this pretty neon polish.

Thanks for reading :)

Sea nails on JOSS Holographic Caribbean Holiday ♥

Hi Everyone,

I was on holiday the last 2 weeks and did not wanted to make pre planned blogposts, wasn't and still am not really feeling like blogging much. Anyway the trip to Terschelling was fun will post those nails and pics later :)

Today something I've made a month ago, I just loveeeee this base polish sooo much. The stamping wasn't great cause I double stamped everything, but overall I still liked this mani :)

Base JOSS holographic Caribbean Holiday. Stamped every sea creature twice for more brighter colors (or with different colors and colored them in) so it isn't perfect but it is okay :) ) LLC5 (love this plate) for the sea creatures ♥ with different Konad pastel stamping colors, M16 for the blue bubbles using Sally Hansen Blue it, H29 for the seaweed in bright shimmer green (a Flormar polish) and dark green (Konad SN green) to give it aome depth.

Also made a matching pedi :)

 Same base color, turtle from LLC5 and blue bubbles from M16.

And a pic of both my feet.

Ofcourse also some swatches. I really love blue polish and holo, so this could be one of my favorite polishes ever :)

I bought this polish and the LLC5 plate at Llarowe I was so happy to had won a giftcard (empowering woman contest from Lacquer or Leave Her ) a while ago so I could finally buy some of the amazing polishes and plates they sell there.

Thanks for reading!

Terschelling (Dutch Wadden Island) 2012 + holiday pics

Hi everyone,

Last year around this time I went to Terschelling (one of the Dutch Wadden Islands). When I was little we used to go there a lot of Summers for our family vacation. In June there is this festival called Oerol, it is music, theatre, art festival everywhere on the island are stages and also on the streets. I was there a couple of days during the Oerol last year and I will be going this year again with my family. I will be celebrating my Birthday there too :) 

I will be making Terschelling scenery nails this year again too and they will probably look similair to these. But these were my nails from last year :) With the old Terschelling lighthouse called the Brandaris and seagulls, seals, the Terschelling flag, the boat etc. 

The base are different holo's from the China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection to make a beach scenery with sand, sea and sky. Self made water decals of different things from Terschelling,...seagulls, beach pole, the flag, seals, the Brandaris (lighthouse), the boat. Stamped with Konad SN green and M29 and M66 some sort of grasses. With SN white and M79 the clouds and with SN black and H18 the birds on my ring finger.

With different lighting, so you see the decals better.

I also did a pedi, with a holo base stamped some sort of waves from H21 with SN blue and the Terschelling flag water decal on my big toe.

For those of you who like to see some vacation pictures. And like to get to know our Dutch Wadden Islands I have added some pics :)

 My sister and I and Yoshi on the boat (it's a 2 hour boat trip from the main land and always very windy).

 Yoshi the Teckel on the boat..she found it a bit scary.

 Dave and I in the rain on a wet festival, no people no music :(

The festival was cancelled for that night because of too bad weather, so we had to go and went to the bars to have some indoor fun.

My dad had a couple of beers already and we were acting funny. So daddy got kisses from both his daughters :)

 After some more beers ;)

 Luckily the weather was much better the day after. As you can see a lot of people.

The day after that it was rainy and stormy again :( but we had fun anyway (well Dave not so much cause he hates bad weather :P )

 The beach, it is one of Europe's widest beaches and a long walk before you reach the sea.

 Jellyfish.

 My dad made his own stunt kites and we always love to kite on Terschelling.

 Me in  front of the Oerol sign where you could pick up your entrance bracelet.

 The beach during low tide.

 Biking at dusk and looking at the horses.

 Petting this cute "punk" horse :)

 My dad as Elvis in the Heartbreak hotel (it isn't hotel but a beach club and they play Elvis music and rock and roll)

 Acting crazy on a beach pole. Or how you call it in English haha.

 Really big dad crab.

 We had one warm day and were totally pink (sun burned). My sis and I enjoying Terschelling beer made of wild cherries that grow there.

A family picture and the famous lighthouse called the Brandaris. This year my dad's girlfriend will be joining us for a couple of days.

 West Terschelling city.

 They call this the Green Beach cause of all the green. It is very big too.

 Just some forest nature.

 Eating at the old Mill :) 

 Hessel and his daughter Tess, 2 famous singers from the island. They perform in their own restaurant/bar almost every night in the main holiday season.

 The boat on my thumb with the real boat in the background.

 One week has past and we had to go home again....bye Terschelling see you next year.

 Always funny how the seagulls follow the boat.

 All kinds of boats pass by.

 The Dutch flag is fluttering at the end of the boat.

Some more nail pics with different lighting.

And some nail pics taken on Terschelling with nice backgrounds :)

 With the Brandaris (lighthouse) in the back.

 With the Terschelling flag just like on my ring finger.

Again with the Brandaris just like on my middle finger.

Thanks for watching// reading :) Hope you like seeing more of Terschelling one of our Dutch Wadden Islands. I always love going there, and can't wait to go there in a couple of days again, love the nature and the Oerol festival. And hope the fresh sea air will do me good so I will be feeling better again :)
