Dream Flight nails for the Efteling (inspired by my shirt)

Hi Everyone,

Last Saturday me, my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend went to the Efteling, that is our most beautiful Dutch theme/amusement park. On 9 Saturdays in the Summer is it open till midnight, so we always go there once a year. So fun to be able to go in the rollercoasters in the dark. And everything is decorated with lights. The Efteling is also really beautiful park to walk in, lots of pretty trees and flowers and water. It has many rollercoasters and other "fast" stuff but also things for children (or people like me who still like those things too haha) When we were little we always went to the Fairytale Forest...we hadn't been in there for years but this day we said well lets walk through it too :)

I took some pictures of the Fairytale Forest, Dream Flight (you sit in little wagons and visit a fairytale world), The Carnival (also in little wagons and you see little dolls all over the world and visit many coutries) and also some other stuff ;) See below after the nail pics.

My nails were inspired by Dream Flight and my t-shirt that I wore that day. I have so many polishes but no cream dark grey so had to improvise and made a metallic magnetic grey polish matte :)

Base Essence Metallic (magnetic) 03 Steel me. Stamped with Winstonia W205 & W208 (mushrooms, bigger dandelion seed and fairy), Sugar Bubbles SB025 (dandelion and smaller seeds), Konad M36 (butterflies) and Moyou Fairytale 01 (twinkle stars). Using white and pastel polishes from Konad (SN pastel yellow, pastel green, pastel violet, pastel pink and pastel blue). Dotted some dots at the mushrooms and added some rhinestones on my ring finger...just like the bling on my t-shirt. I've made it all matte with Essie Matte About You.

Here a close up from the mani.

And one with my t-shirt in the background.

 A close up from my shirt.

 I also did a matching pedi, but the weather wasn't good enough for flip flops :(

The big butterfly is from Moyou Kitty 01 and the twinkle stars from Konad M14, the rest from the same plates already mentioned.

Also took a picture before I've made it matte.

And here a lot of pictures of that day :)

Born Pretty Store: Flowers that glow in the dark

Hi Everyone,

A few weeks ago I showed you some stuff I got from Born Pretty Store, I then did a mani with holo polish and plate QA86. Today I have a mani made with QA89 to show you :) And I also used their glow in the dark polishes to color the image.

Base Sinful Colors Snow me White, stamped with Born Pretty Store QA89 and Konad black. Colored the images with glow in the dark polish from BK (pink, green, purple and yellow). So fun these glow in the dark :)

And another picture.

Here just the black stamps on the white base before coloring them.

I really like how detailed these flowers are. Both the QA plates stamp really well :) I'll be using this plate for another mani for sure.

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 :)

Born Pretty Store purple holo and hearts

Hi Everyone,

Today I have some pretty stuff from the Born Pretty Store to show you. I got some pretty plates and a lovely holo polish. As you all know I love holographic polishes. And these polishes form BPS are sooo pretty, too bad the bottles are so small ;) The 2 plates are also very nice and stamp well. 

First I'll show you the mani I made with it. It kinda reminded me of a Valentines mani :)

Base Born Pretty Store holographic polish no 11, a lovely purple holo. stamped the hearts with Konad SN pastel blue, pastel pink and pastel violet using BPS plate QA86.

And some more pics of the mani.

Here the stuff I got:

 I already had 3 of their holo polishes and now I have 4, I really wish I had them all. I really like them <3

They also have some really great plates and the quality is good too, no problems at all. Nice clean crisp images.

I now used QA86 but will use QA89 soon too.

And some swatches of the purple holographic 11 polish. I love it.

Next to the lovely holo polishes they have much more nail polish and nail art decorations.

The Great Polish Giveaway of 2014

Hi Everyone,

Nail Polish Canada is hosting The Great Polish Giveaway of 2014 They've partnered with Cirque Colors, NCLA & Picture Polish to host the biggest giveaway ever.  One winner will take home up to 200 nail polish from over 10 different brands! The prize starts at zero, then bloggers can each pick a favourite shade to be added to the prize.  You can enter on their website. And you can also enter once on each blog that adds a shade to the prize.

The prize is currently 186 shades.

I chose to add Nfu Oh 63

I love holo polishes and Nfu Oh 63 was one of my first holographic polishes. I also really love these bottles. Ofcourse I have some swatches for you of this beautiful polish. The holo rainbow effect is really strong especially in the sun or under artificial light.

Also my mani with nail art I posted these before a few years ago but here it is again. Done with stamping and the flowers are selfmade water decals.

Like I said you can enter on their website but for more entries you can also enter here. I don't have twitter so this is the twitter account from Nail Polish Canada. But like me on facebook for an extra entry. And make sure to check out all the polishes and enter on other blogs too.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

I am not really sure if this is only for US/Canadian residents or for US/Canadian addresses. The last option would mean that if an international person will win they have to provide an US/Canadian address, but most of us nail addicts have friends world wide so that shouldn't be a problem. I asked NPC so if I know the exact anwser I'll let you know.

EDIT: it is only for US/Canadian residents so sorry for everyone who doesn't live in the US or Canada

Have a nice weekend and good luck!

And a little freehand.

And ofcourse a matching pedi.

Toes no white base just sponged without the orange color and on the rest of my toes only Flip Flop fantasy. The love couple is made with parts from Moyou Mother Nature 01.

And here my other foot.

And a picture of the gradient base.
