10.1 Polish Love Potion with FUN13

Hi everyone,

Sorry for not blogging so often, I've been sick and really did not felt like it. But today I'll show you my nails from last weekend. I made them all shorter after I broke a corner on my right hand. First made that nail in sort of stiletto shape lol...but that wasn't something for me. Will post that mani and that nail later...still have so many to show you all ;)

Base 10.1 Polish Love Potion and Color Club Revvvolution. Stamped with Essence Stampy polish black and FUN13.

I really love 10.1 Polish and especially this color.

This is one of their old bottles, they renewed their bottles. You can buy 10.1 Polish here.

Have a nice weekend!

Freehand 2nd time: Greece Santorini

Hi Everyone,

Today I'll show you my 2nd attempt at a completely freehanded mani :) Greece...Santorini <3 Inspired by my mom's funeral card (that was a picture she made herself on Santorini..see below)  

All done with cheap bad paint...LOL really need some good acryllic paint one day ^_^ but had fun trying freehand for the 2nd time.

I'd love to go to Santorini someday it was my moms favorite island.

 I still have lots to learn but I was happy with how they turned out.

Another picture with different light.

And here together with my inspiration... my moms funeral card. This was a picture she took herself on Santorini.

Have a nice weekend.

Pink & Hearts: Beste Twin Nails with The Beauty Of Nail Polish

Hi Everyone,

Earlier this week Tara from The Beauty Of Nail Polish contacted me if I wanted to do #bestietwinnails with her. I was really honored she wanted me do that with her :) I have never done bestie twin nails. Ofcoure I did do the story nails with Fab Ur Nails and others, but no bestie twin nails. So I was double excited...my first twin mani and with a very talented nail artist. 

We talked on facebook and decided to do something loved themed since it will be Valentine's Day next month. She suggested we both should do a pink mani with hearts, no specific plates or polishes just this theme. And the rest was up to us how to interpret this theme. 

You can follow her on Facebook too here a link to her page. And she is also on Instagram @thebeautyofnailpolish and as you know I recently joined the IG world too @dianavnisselroy if you like to follow me too ;)

Now let's show both our mani's.

I love how we both used different kind of pink tones. It is so fun to see how we both interpreted this theme. And I seriously love her mani, especially her ring finger is mesmerizing.

Now also a closer look to my mani with all the details.

I sponged my base using Konad SN pastel pink (I really wanted the base color to be the same as the stamped images so it would blend well) and Only You 015 Pink Party! (that brand is from a local drugstore called ICI Paris XL) On top I used Essence 25 Let Stars Rain Down On Me a holo glitter topcoat (a bit similar to INM out the door silver). Stamped the hearts with the french tip image from Konad M73 with Konad SN pastel pink. The bigger and small hearts are from Nailways Spring Time - Love is in the Air stamped with Konad SN magenta.

I liked how this turned out with the gradient and the french tip design and tone on tone :) 

Here also a picture from the gradient base. Too bad you can't really see the holo sparkle that good.

If you like to know the details on Tara her mani go over to her blog: The Beauty Of Nail Polish.

Thank you for doing this fun Bestie Twin Nails with me, I look foward to doing more in the future.

Thanks for reading!

Have a nice weekend :)

Happy Birthday in Heaven!

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday (January 14th) we would have been celebrating my mom's birthday. So I made Happy Birthday in Heaven nails with winged balloons :)  I always like doing something special for her on special dates (like the day she died (Christmas), her birthday and Mothers Day).

Base a gradient with CATRICE cosmetics C01 Electrix Blue, C02 ApHolo 7 and C03 Holo in One. Stamped the clouds wiht Konad M79, the words Happy Birthday and balloons from Nailways Spring Time- Birthday Cake, the little wings on the balloons are from HB29 and the words I heart emoticon Mom from Fab Ur Nails FUN12. Used Konad SN white and black for stamping and colored the balloons with paint. 

Also some pictures of the gradient holo base.

I really like these holo polishes from Catrice.

My first completely freehand mani...a Winter Scene!

Hi Everyone,

The new year just started and what is a better way to start then trying new things..challenge my self to do new stuff. So here is my first completely freehanded mani, I have done some freehand details or an accent finger before but never a completely freehanded many :) 

I know it is nothing compared to all those masters out there I am kinda proud of it. I don't have good brushes and only have some really old paint (not even sure what kind of paint LOL) but did it all with paint and polish.  

I often write a little story with my mani too so is another story:  

"A girl and her little brother went on their annual winter holiday together with their parents. And just like every year they went to the cabin in the mountains. They always have a lot of fun there. While Mom and Dad enjoyed time together in the cabin next to the fire place the kids played outside in the snow. The girl was getting very good in figure iceskating, she wants to join the Olympics when she is older. Her little brother had fun on the ice too on his skates playing with the sleigh.Their cute little black dog also played outside in the snow. And all together they build this large snowman. They had a great vacation in their Winter Wonderland."

 Before I started to paint this on my nails I first drew a quick sketch on paper for an idea.

And some more picture in different light.

I always be a stamping girl, but maybe I'll try freehand some more every now and then :)

Thanks for reading <3
