Terschelling (Dutch Wadden Island) 2012 + holiday pics

Hi everyone,


Last year around this time I went to Terschelling (one of the Dutch Wadden Islands). When I was little we used to go there a lot of Summers for our family vacation. In June there is this festival called Oerol, it is music, theatre, art festival everywhere on the island are stages and also on the streets. I was there a couple of days during the Oerol last year and I will be going this year again with my family. I will be celebrating my Birthday there too :) 

I will be making Terschelling scenery nails this year again too and they will probably look similair to these. But these were my nails from last year :) With the old Terschelling lighthouse called the Brandaris and seagulls, seals, the Terschelling flag, the boat etc. 


The base are different holo's from the China Glaze Kaleidoscope collection to make a beach scenery with sand, sea and sky. Self made water decals of different things from Terschelling,...seagulls, beach pole, the flag, seals, the Brandaris (lighthouse), the boat. Stamped with Konad SN green and M29 and M66 some sort of grasses. With SN white and M79 the clouds and with SN black and H18 the birds on my ring finger.

With different lighting, so you see the decals better.

I also did a pedi, with a holo base stamped some sort of waves from H21 with SN blue and the Terschelling flag water decal on my big toe.

For those of you who like to see some vacation pictures. And like to get to know our Dutch Wadden Islands I have added some pics :)

 My sister and I and Yoshi on the boat (it's a 2 hour boat trip from the main land and always very windy).

 Yoshi the Teckel on the boat..she found it a bit scary.

 Dave and I in the rain on a wet festival, no people no music :(

The festival was cancelled for that night because of too bad weather, so we had to go and went to the bars to have some indoor fun.

My dad had a couple of beers already and we were acting funny. So daddy got kisses from both his daughters :)

 After some more beers ;)

 Luckily the weather was much better the day after. As you can see a lot of people.

The day after that it was rainy and stormy again :( but we had fun anyway (well Dave not so much cause he hates bad weather :P )

 The beach, it is one of Europe's widest beaches and a long walk before you reach the sea.

 Jellyfish.

 My dad made his own stunt kites and we always love to kite on Terschelling.

 Me in  front of the Oerol sign where you could pick up your entrance bracelet.

 The beach during low tide.

 Biking at dusk and looking at the horses.

 Petting this cute "punk" horse :)

 My dad as Elvis in the Heartbreak hotel (it isn't hotel but a beach club and they play Elvis music and rock and roll)

 Acting crazy on a beach pole. Or how you call it in English haha.

 Really big dad crab.

 We had one warm day and were totally pink (sun burned). My sis and I enjoying Terschelling beer made of wild cherries that grow there.

A family picture and the famous lighthouse called the Brandaris. This year my dad's girlfriend will be joining us for a couple of days.

 West Terschelling city.

 They call this the Green Beach cause of all the green. It is very big too.

 Just some forest nature.

 Eating at the old Mill :) 

 Hessel and his daughter Tess, 2 famous singers from the island. They perform in their own restaurant/bar almost every night in the main holiday season.

 The boat on my thumb with the real boat in the background.

 One week has past and we had to go home again....bye Terschelling see you next year.

 Always funny how the seagulls follow the boat.

 All kinds of boats pass by.

 The Dutch flag is fluttering at the end of the boat.

Some more nail pics with different lighting.


And some nail pics taken on Terschelling with nice backgrounds :)
 With the Brandaris (lighthouse) in the back.

 With the Terschelling flag just like on my ring finger.

Again with the Brandaris just like on my middle finger.


Thanks for watching// reading :) Hope you like seeing more of Terschelling one of our Dutch Wadden Islands. I always love going there, and can't wait to go there in a couple of days again, love the nature and the Oerol festival. And hope the fresh sea air will do me good so I will be feeling better again :)

Dolphin Sunset nails

Hi everyone who reads this :)

The weather here in Holland is finally really like Summer and I loveeeee warm sunny weather. So I just had to make summer nails (again). And love how they turned out. I was inspired by a wooden painted dolphin statue, you can see it on the pictures below.

Everything is stamped even the little islands ;) only the blue/white waves aren't stamped.

A white P2 base, sponged with China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, OPI I Need Sunglasses, Essence 01 BBC Pink Heat, OPI Purple with a Purpose and China Glaze Beach Cruise-R. Added China Glaze Wireless Holographic topcoat on top. Stamped with HB46 (parts of shells for the islands),  BM315, BM320, H10, H18, M29 and S2. The white/blue waves are made with a small brush.

I love making summer nails especially sunset summer nails on the beach with palm trees :) I also plan on entering these nails in the summer contest of Nails and Stuff.
I make something like this every year you may remember these from 2010 Romantic Sunset and 2011 Romantic Night at the Beach..
but with those 2 I also used selfmade water decals..this year it is a all stamping mani :)

 Different light.

Without flash under artificial light.

Here you can see my inspiration :)

Also made matching toes again, stamped with BM315, M29 and GCOCL A02.

Again my hand with my inspiration in the background :)

Enjoy the weekend! I know I will with this lovely sunny hot weather :)

We also are going to celebrate my dads birthday...first one without my mom :( Last year even though she was really sick she/we organized a surprise party for him because he turned 60. She also said I wanna celebrate it because it might be our last B-day together :( I soo miss her and know my Dad misses her too.

Thank for reading I am really happy with the way my nails turned out. Just by looking at them it makes me smile and I imagine I am at this beautiful beach.

Sunset Sailing with some Seagulls :)

Hey hey,

I made these a few months ago at the end of May and just haven't posted them yet...no reason why. But here they are and it is still Summer (when I made these it wasn't Summer but we had Summer weather for a few days). This was actually my second sponged neon gradient (with all the colors at a sponge at once).

Base a gradient of China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, China Glaze Sunworshiper and Impala Tech sponged over a white base. Added China Glaze Wireless Holographic topcoat on top. Stamped with Konad SN black and imageplates H18 and H20.

Here some more pictures made with differnet light.




My kinda matching toes :) with the same base but another stamp :)
Stamped with Konad SN black and M29.
