Halloween 2015: Ghosts

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted for a while since I was on vacation for a few weeks. And when we came back I busy dealing with stuff at home, not so fun stuff (loosing 2 pets).

But I'll promise to post more and if you follow me on instagram you can see a lot of posts there :)

The last day of my vacation I broke my nail from my middle finger, so I decided to make them all short (not as short cause that is a little sore) but as short as they can without bleeding or hurting ;)

Meet my new shorties.

A gradient base with China Glaze When Stars Collide and Catherine Arley 806, shadow stamped the ghosts and bats with Konad white and black and also mirror stamped one ghost using BM213 and BM223. Colored the eyes with MdU Avocado.

Here also a picture of just the gradient...it looked more orange in real life.

Some pictures like these I took with my phone instead of camera so you might see different kinds of watermarks ;)

Thanks for reading!

Parrot Polish with lace stamping from my first Marianne nails plate

Hi everyone,

I recently got my first Marianne nails plates so ofcourse I had to try them out. I love trying new stamping brands. I also had one of my untrieds Parrot Polishes so it was time to use that pretty one too.

I did not wanted to cover up a lot of this pretty polish so I used this amazing lace stamp that still shows a lot of the base.

 Parrot Polish Anne Cormac a beautiful duochorome or maybe even multi chrome holographic polish. Stamped with Konad SN black and Marianne Nails no 27.

Also a swatch of this gorgeous polish.

It is such a pretty polish..I am in love.

Ladyqueen review: HeHe 055 plate over a gradient base

Hi Everyone,

I recently received some products from Ladyqueen as you all know I love stamping so I got a pretty plate Hehe 055 and this silver knuckle ring. And ofcourse I had to do a mani with it. So let's show the mani first and then a close up of the plate.

Look at all those cute little toys. The base is a gradient with  Lime Crime Lavendairy, Once in a Blue Mousse and Crema de Limon. Stamped the images from Hehe 055 and used MdU 5 for stamping. I really liked how cute this was. 

Now here a close up of the Hehe 055 plate.You can find it on Ladyqueen under this name NA0587 Nail Art Stamp Template. 

 Look at all those tiny toys those images are great as as a full nail but you can also use them as single images, they are a great size for small kids nails or use them to create a scene :) And all the icecream, pie, cupcakes looks yummy too. I really like the party flags too. Think this is a great plate with lots of options to make different mani's. And the quality is great too.

Here a picture of the gradient base. I really like these pastel colors.

As you can see on the first picture I also have the knuckle ring on my finger, you can find it on Ladyqueen under this name SP0420 Knuckle Ring. I have never wore a knuckle ring before so I had to get used to it but will show it more often on mani's :)

Ladyqueen sells lot's of other plates and nail art stuff and also jewelry on more beauty related items. If you use the code: NQLC15 you will get 15% off (also see the banner at the side of my blog). They also have these Flash Sale items make sure to check them out :)

Hi Everyone,

Here my mani and pedi I had last weekend. There was a music festival in my home town and it was Rock 'n' Roll themed. I love that so ofcourse had to do a mani and pedi.

Base Purple Professional Summer Sugar collection 82 On Fire! (it's a textured polish that is why you see little specks in the stamps ;)) Stamped with MoYou Nails 300 the full nail images of the stars and music notes and later edited my accent nail and stamped with MoYou London Back to the 50's 01 the small music notes, Rock 'n' Roll and the black music record. 

Also did a matching pedi ofcourse

Here just a quick phone picture before I editted the accent nail.

MoYou London is currently having a pedi contest on IG, you all know how much I love pedi's so this is soooo me :) You have to be creative with the picture too and include stuff that fits your pedi...so much to do :)

Also a swatch of my base before adding topcoat so you can really see how it looks like.

In loving memory of our rat Faith

Hi Everyone,

Last thursday our ratty Faith died. She would have turned 3 in about 4 weeks so she was pretty old. And she even had tumor surgery twice in her life. She was a very strong lady. Now she died very peacefully because of old age and joined her sweet sister Hope who passed away in January.

Ofcourse I had to do a mani to honor her. In the fb group WON we had a chance to submit images for a special WON plate made by Fab Ur Nails ofcourse I had to submit ratties and cheese. I drew the images myself from pictures I saw online. I once submitted these for the BM CYO too but they did not pick them so I was happy they made it on the FUN-WON. The plate also has some Arctic images on it that were my idea and some of them I drew too :) 

Gradient with China Glaze Son of a Peach and Neon & On & On. Stamped the full nail with FUN16 and MdU pastel pink. The word Faith is from FUN17 and the ratties and cheese are the images from the special FUN-WON plate. If you look close you see the one one my thumb has wings too stamped with Konad M90.  I try to color the images to match Faith her colors.

And some more pictures.

Here also one with Faith so you can see her colors.

And the last picture we took about a week before she passed away she was still very active then.

We were at the pet store this weekend to get some food and other supplies and we always look and cuddle the ratties there. But there was one who kept climbing out towards us, she was adorable and she misses part of her ear. We did not plan to get a new ratty, I said 3 were enough but I fell in love. Also because of her ear I was afraid she might become snake food...cause maybe other people would not want her. When we decided she had to come home with us and the employee saw the ear he said half price is fine....that is how little a small animal life is worth. But for us she is perfect.

On instagram there is this tag #mynailsandmyrat so I had to take a picture of our new ritten Scar and my memorial nails for Faith :)

Thanks for reading.

Have a nice weekend!
