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.

Welcome!

This is my first post on my blog. So let me introduce myself shortly (more info about me you can read at the "About me" page) My name is Diana, I'm 26 years old and live in the Netherlands. I've been a nail biter since I a can remember, but stopped in 2007 when my wishdom teeth had to be removed. Since then I became a nail addict. And starting painting my nails, soon I saw Konad Stamping Nailart and I was completely hooked. I started buying more and more (like I said I became addicted :)) I sometimes still can't believe that I have long natural nails and people often think I have acrylic nails or something. It makes me sort of proud to say they are all natural :)

I do my nails once a week and I'll try to share my creations every week. In between I will show some older nailart photo's and swatches that I made the last 3 years.

Here a picture of a creation from last year. I was in Giethoorn on a small motorboat and saw this flower in the water and just couldn't resist so my boyfriend took a picture. I love it so much that I made it my logo for my workshops and blog.
I'm wearing China Glaze TTYL from the OMG collection. I used Konad plates M31, M36, M74 and Konad SN pastel blue, SN pink pearl and SN yellow for stamping. On my ringfinger a blue rhinestone in the flower.

I welcome you all on my blog, hope you'll like it.
