Hits Mari Moon So Unique with simple nail art

Hi Everyone,

Today someday I did a few months ago, but still haven't blogged about it. I had this polish for a while but never used it, don't know why, cause I love it. Maybe I was afraid to use it cause it is such a small bottle ;) I did some simple stamping on it.

Base Hits Mari Moon holografico So Unique, stamped with Color Club Worth the Risque and Winstonia W112. Stamped the flower from Winstonia W104 and a self made stamping polish.

And another picture with my thumb.

And some swatches of this pretty polish.

Thanks for reading! (watching cause I haven't typed much lol).

A Fairytale ♥

Hi Everyone,

When I saw some of the Moyou plates this Summer I knew I wanted to make certain mani's with them. One of them was the cherry blossom with owls I showed you some months ago. Another one was the mani I'll show you today :) I just had to have this plate to do this mani. But somehow I waited a few month to actually do it hahaha. I did these last week. And was happy with how they turned out. The challenge last Sunday in AIS was I am in the mood for....well I was in the mood for fairytales and happy endings ;) When I posted this mani friday in another nail group I also wrote a little story with them. Someone once said on one of my mani's it reminded her of  children books illustrations :), so was a bit crazy and thought let's write the story too haha. It is the story on my nails:

It is a beautiful starry night in WONvillage*. The moon is full and 1000 of stars shine bright. The fairy is watching over the castle and keeps an eye on the princess when the king and queen leave in their carriage with horses. The evil witch is already on her way to the castle to kidnap the princess but pegasus makes sure she won't come closer :)  So the princess will get a goodnight sleep and she will never know of the danger lurking outside the castle walls. Cause her magical friends will protect her <3 

*WON is the name of the group

Gradient with Color Club Puccilicious, Hits Frapê 416 and Hits Edicao Limitada 205. China Glaze Fairy Dust on top. Stamped with Konad SN black and Moyou London Princess 07 (fairy, castle, carriage, horses, witch) And Moyou Princess 04 (pegasus). Stamped the stars with Konad SN pastel yellow and Moyou Princess 07. Twinkle stars with Color Club Worth the Risque and Moyou Festive (aka Christmas) 01 but those aren't showing very well on the pic. Also stamped the rein (?) from the carriage and the horses with parts of the necklace image on Princess 07.

Some more picture of the mani.

I went swimming this weekend and in the pool you can dive and see aquaria undewater, so I had to take a pic of my nails too (love playing with our underwater camera). Too bad the fishes wouldn't show up while I took the pics ;)

 In the right corner you can see a yellow fish.

Here a better pic of the fishes.

And a picture of just the gradient base.

Thanks for reading.

Who is that knocking in the coffin?

Hi everyone,

Today I want to show you a mani I did earlier. As you know my sister won a Bundlemonster create your own set, cause one of her designs was chosen to be on the plates :) She let me borrow her plates for a few weeks so I can make some mani's with it :) And I had to promise her to do a mani with " her" coffin image :) So here it is. My nails are now a lot shorter cause I've cut them this week, but I had to keep them long for this mani otherwise the coffin would not fit on my pinkie ;) haha.

Who is that knocking in the coffin?

It's me.... the skeleton man  Let me out let me out! 

Yes I am almost there just a little bit further. 

Woohoo I am out, you can't catch me. 

Na nana nanaaa.... Happy dance :) 

The base a subtle gradient with Konad SN dark orange and SN pastel orange on top a holo polish Hits No Olimpo Demeter (wish I had more of this collection haha, love it and the Greek signs on the bottle) Stamped my sis her coffin from BM402 in Konad SN black colored them with black and stamped over it in white. Stamped the skeleton man (mostly parts of it) from BM413 in white.

And some pictures of the subtle gradient holo base :)

Later this week I will show you my shorter nails too, and some other Halloween mani's I did earlier too, so some are on my long nails and some an my "shorties" haha.

Icy Butterflies :)

Hi everyone,

I made these for the AIS challenge. The theme was accent nail. I often do accent nails also with different colors or totally different. But this time I chose to do a subtle accent nail, all with the same colors and theme but just a little bit different then the rest of my nails.

When I did the base color on, I had actually something else in mind, but then I saw my decals and thought they would look good on this color too.

Base Hits Speciallità 205 Edição Limitada a pretty polish from Brazil. On top a layer of Essence @Holographic.com LE 04 Prismatic white. Stamped with Konad SN black pearl and XL plate O (that is a dupe from XL K). The butterflies are selfmade water decals.

Also some swatches.

Flowers and Sunglasses

Hi Everyone,

It still is nice summer weather here so I thought time for another summer creation. I made these in October 2011 (now you probably think that it is Fall in October but I just got back from my holiday to Greece and was still in the Summer mood ;)) I also wanted to test some of my new Essence plates. And I got the base polish from my sister who went on a short holiday to the South of Germany.

So I was really still in Summer mood in October...after coming back from my holidays to Greece I never want it to be Fall already. I wasn't really a fan of these nails, but they were okay for a few days :)

 Base Gipsy Queen no 3 with a layer of CND effects Jade Sparkle. Both stamps are from a Essence plate (they are not named or numbered :()Glasses stamped with Konad SN black and colored them a bit with black Essence nail art pen to make them look like sunglasses. Flowers stamped with Konad SN white mixed with Hits Sorvete, yellow dot with Konad SN yellow and dotting tool.

 Under different light.

Here also some swatches.

Here swatches with the CND effects on top.

Thanks for reading/wacthing.

Brazil: Hits Speciallità Sorvete 402 (with nail art)

This is one of the beautiful polishes from Brazil that I got (see previous blog). It's a very bright pastel pink almost pastel neon pink. Unfortunately my camera couldn't capture the true color :(

First let's start with the nail art on it. As you've probably seen I broke a nail last week so my nails are shorter and I can finally use my full nail designs, so ofcourse I used a full nail design ;)

Base Hits Speciallità Sorvete 402 stamped with Konad SN pastel blue and XL plate B. I had major problems taking a normal photo, I couldn't capture the true color and I suck in taking photo's with left hand of my right hand. I always shake, but then I shake even more. Photo without flash in natural daylight.

  

My sad short nail (that grew a little bit) photo without flash under artificial light.

Now here the swatches.

Like I said I suck in taking photo's with left ;) Photo without flash under artificial light.

Here the color is most accurate, it's realy bright. I love it, it also covers really well and is a great polish for stamping too.

I got some presents....nail polish from Brazil ♥

My friend is from Brazil (she is the girlfriend of my best friend) and sometimes she goes back to Brazil, a couple of weeks ago she went there for a wedding and the carnival. She already said to me that maybe she was going to buy some polish for me. When she was back her boyfriend told me that she had presents for me...and this weekend a saw them and she gave me the presents.....it felt like my birthday or christmas :)

Look it's a paper bag.

A paper bag filled with polishhhhhhhhh :)

Look how many she got me, I'm so happy thank you Debora thank you ♥ I got 10 new colors and 5 neons (in the back of the photo) that I already have but she knows I like them and sometimes use them as prize for a giveaway or contest (I did that last summer she already got me the neons again for a contest) I'll show you the neon photos and swatches later ;)

Now let's see them closer ;)

These 3 are from Impala (I love this brand and the shape of their bottles). They are specially made for São Paulo Fashion Week (see the  holograpgic logo SPFW) and are inspired by a millitary theme. There were 5 colors made, these are 3 of them. The first one is really special I love it sooooo much, it's called Na Mira 3D and it's a holograpghic one ♥ The second one is a dark shimmer called Metal Glam and the third is a blue/purple/blurple cream polish called Azul Aviador.

These 4 are from the brand Hits Speciallità, new for me but I like them, they cover really well. The last 3 are way more brighter in real life, look almost like pastel neons. The first one is Passeio 412, the second one is Sorvete 402, the third is Caipirinha 415 and the last is Edição Limitada 205.

The first two are from Ana Hickmann (a Brazilian model who distributes her own cosmetics line). It's a red/orange cream called Salsa and a purple shimmer called Techno. The last one is from Colorama Nutriverniz, Rosa Mosqueta pink with shimmer the color is darker in real life (see photo below).

My 10 new lovely polishes :)

From left to right: Impala Na Mira 3D, Impala Metal Glam, Impala Azul Aviador,  Hits Speciallità Passeio 412,  Hits Speciallità Sorvete 402, Hits Speciallità Caipirinha 415, Hits Speciallità Edição Limitada 205, Ana Hickmann Salsa, Ana Hickmann Techno and Colorama Rosa Mosqueta.

Swatches on a wheel same order of polishes as above. Top with flash under without flash (you can see better how bright the pink one is)

I got quite a few Brazilian polishes brands such as Impala ♥, Risque, Colorama and Hits Speciallità. The first ones I got were a souvenir last summer when my best friend went to visit her in Brazil (she was there for a few months) while she was there she also took a photo in the store and I chose some colors I liked, so she bought a few for me. When she was back in Holland I paid them. A few weeks after that it was my birthday and I got some more Brazilian polish and now these 10 new ones. So I think I'll start Brazil week on my blog and show you all my polishes and some swatches and creations I have made so far.

♥ Debora thanks again for getting me and giving me all those great polishes ♥
