P2 013 Stylish + P2 Crackling silver topcoat

I know it's Disney Piglet week on my blog, but I wanted to show you my current nails :) I've cut my nails they were really long and sometimes it is nice to have shorter nails, although it feels weird like I'm missing something but that I have to get used to.

I love polishes from P2 that is one reason I often go shopping in Germany. This color was a present from a friend.

And now the photo with the P2 Crackling silver topcoat on top.

When you apply a thin coat you get more small cracks, when you apply a thicker coat you get bigger cracks (see my ringfinger) I love this crack polish I also have a black one from Isadora (will post those swatches from a couple of months ago later) but I like the P2 one better it is not so thick and is easy to apply.

I'm planning a giveaway with crack (and magnetic) polish so keep watching my blog! (comments are nice to instead of just watching ;))

Disney Piglet week 2: flowers

My second Piglet creation, this time Piglet with flowers.

As a base I'm wearing Golden Rose Holographic 118. Self made water decals of Piglet picking flowers. I stamped flowers with Konad SN dark red, violet pearl, pastel blue, yellow and imageplate M3. On my thumb a little fimo flower with a happy face :)

Disney Piglet week 1: winter

I still have my Winter Wonderland creation on my nails, and now it is snowing outside :) Ofcourse I have to post something new so I decided to show some older creation that I made. I'm a Disney fan and I really like Piglet so I often made Piglet nails, this week I'll show you them.

First Piglet's Winter, I made this in the winter of 2009.

 

As a base I'm wearing OPI Suzi and the lifeguard. I used self made water decals of Piglet. Stamped with Konad SN white and SN pink imageplate M11 and M59. On my ringfinger 2 rhinestones.

A photo with one of mine cute Piglet stuffed animals :)

Here s swatch of OPI Suzi and the lifeguard

 

Later this week I'll show you Piglet with flowers and Piglet with love (Valentines day)

Winter Wonderland

It's not yet winter but my autumn nails made me feel sad, so I decided to make some winter nails. Snow makes me much happier, but we don't often have snow here in Holland. I just really want to make this creation and couldn't wait for the winter ;)

As a base I'm wearing MNY 109A a beautiful light blue shimmer. I sponged with Konad SN white and white rainbow glitter for a snowy effect. I also used a bit of pastel blue the create an ice idea. The snowmans, ice skating children and trees are self made water decals. The snowflakes I stamped with M51.

It's hard to take a good photo with al that white ;) so you don't really see the glitter. Photo with flash.

Sorry it's a bit blurry ;)

I'm more of a summer person but I do like the winter when it's snowing and we can ice skate. And ofcourse christmas and all those lovely decorating lights.

Do you like the winter and snow?

Alessandro Go Magic Twist - Blue Chip

When I was in Germany, my sweet boyfriend finally found the Alessandro magnetic polish at the Muller :) It costed 12,95 euro's that is cheaper then I thougt but still my most expensive polish ever. I bought the blue one, and I was happy that I finally also had a good magnet (because the Essence one is not good at all). It's strange on the box or polish I can't seem to find the name (just a number) but I saw on the Alessandro website that this one is called Blue Chip.

A beautiful metallic blue with purple shimmer, with the magnet you pull out the purple shimmer :)

Photo without flash under artificial light.

Photo with flash. It was not as easy as I thought, the Alessandro magnet is much stronger and I was used to holding the magnet really close, but this magnet really pulls the nailpolish up and sometimes it even touched the magnet :(

Another photo with flash.

The polish, the magnet and some different swatches (see next photo).

First with my refrigerator magnet (you can see this one makes wider stripes and really pulls out the purple), second the Alessandro magnet normal, third the Alessandro magnet vertical and last the Alessandro magnet from a distance and with a really thin coat of polish.

Again the Essence magnetic polishes on the right with Alessandro magnet.

With some subtle Konad butterfly's (in real much better to see but I couldn't take a normal photo of it) plate M1 stamped with China Glaze Sci-Fi.

Dark autumn nails

It's dark rainy outside, so I made some dark autumn nails.

As a base I'm wearing P2 meet me at 12:30 - 020 dramatic green (see previous blog) stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM04 and BM11. Used Konad SN green, yellow and pastel orange.

I don't know if  I like this creation it sort of makes me feel sad :(

P2 Meet me at 12:30 - 020 Dramatic green

When I was in Germany a couple of weeks ago I saw the new P2 LE collection: Meet me at 12:30. There were 3 colors, a dark blue, dark purple and dark green. I bought the last one (020 dramatic green), because I already had colors similar to the other two.

It's a very dark forest green, I only needed one coat. Photo with flash.

Greece Chios week 3

The weather is really bad here in Holland it's rainy and there is a really strong wind. I almost forgot to post the creation of my third and final week of my vacation. So now is the perfect time because I sure can use a few summer pictures to remember to good sunny times ;) The theme on my nails this vacation week was flowers, I took pictures of them everywhere, with a flower, in the sea and at the beach.

As a base I'm wearing OPI Don't Socra Tease Me I stamped with Manhatten Black and Konad PSN White used plate M75. I made yellow and pink dots in the flowers (Konad SN yellow and psyche pink), I didn't bring a dotting tool so I had to improvise and used the tip of a fork :) hahahaha.

My hand and foot at the beach.

My hand in front of the sea.

My feet lying at the beach.

My hand with a soda can of Mast, a real Chios soda drink with natural mastic in it. The island is famous for their mastic. Mastic is resin (don't know if you call it like that I would say wax or something haha) from the Mastic tree, that only grows on Chios. They use it in food, candy, gum, drinks, cosmetics etc. I also have a wonderful hand cream with mastic. Mastic is also known for several medical purposes.

My hands under water.

My feet under water. I also made a picture like this last year, but I find it so funny how everything deforms under water.

And then suddenly my nailart and foot was ruined :( I stepped in some oil on the beach.

It was soooo nasty and really thick, my boyfriend and I scraped some of it off with stones. But I couldn't even wear my flip flop because that was made of white fabric and I didn't want to make it dirty as well. So I walked on one bare foot and one flip flop to the quad/ATV and we had to drive more then one hour to our apartment. So I was holding my flip flop and sitting there with one bare foot, not the most safest footwear for a quad/ATV ;) Not that flip flops are safe but then I felt like I at least had something under my foot.

Luckily the owner of the apartments could help me and had something to clean it up with. So here you see me happy cleaning my foot :) And my toes and nailart became visable again.

Flowers made by Brenda

Saturday my friend Brenda came to my house and she painted beautiful flowers on my nails. We had al lot of fun :) It was also the first time I saw acryl and how that works in real life. She brought some 3D molds (don't know if that is the correct English word) and I played with it. It's not so simple but really funny to do. She also made some 3D acrylic flowers on my nails, not with a mold but by hand. I find is soooo good that she can do all this. She is just 13 years old :) I predict her a great future in nailart, sometimes I say to her that she should open a nailart studio it doesn't matter that she is only 13 years old.... does it?

As a base I'm wearing OPI DS Reflection see my previous blog for swatches. This is my left hand.

My entire left hand.

Both hands.

My right hand. Somehow I find it difficult to keep my right hand fingers "normal" while taking a picture with my left hand :)

I really love my nails thanks again Brenda, big kiss for you XXX

OPI DS Reflection

This color is from the OPI designer series. It's a beautiful pinkish red with some holo in it.
