Love is in the Air

Hi everyone,

I did this mani somewhere last week. For a challenge on IG the theme was inspired by the sky, but I also wanted to do a love themed mani so why not make a heart shaped hot air balloon in the sky and a plane leaving a heart trail.

Base Purple Professional sugar summer 84 Under Water a texture polish. Stamped the clouds with Konad M79, the balloon basket is from MoYou Mother Nature 06, the heart shaped "hot air balloon" is from Pueen43, the plane is from Nailways Vive la Vie- Vacation plate and I dotted the heart trail. I did use a topcoat but the texture effect was still visable in real life.

Giving 2 little girls a mani and pedi

Hi Everyone,

This Summer the granddaughters of my dads girlfriend came to visit me for a mani and pedi. It was right before they went on holiday. The 6 years old girl wanted fairytale style and the 7 years old girl wanted vacation nails with a caravan cause they went on vacation with their own caravan. They had such tiny nails and it was hard for them to sit still, so not the greatest clean up.  But they were happy with them :) And I had so much fun doing their nails. I also did the nails of their grandma.

I used plates from Nailways, Moyou, Stampaholics, Konad, Cheeky etc. Don't remember exactly which ones.   

 They also wanted a nail tip with glow in the dark polish with their names on it and some studs/stones. 

Princess nails.

Vacation nails.

Princess pedi.

Vacation pedi.

Hands and feet together.

Their mani's were inspired my some of my own mani's :)

And the nails of their grandma.

Thanks Myrte, Britt and Ria for the fun day and letting me do your nails.

Thanks for reading.

Penguins at the beach :)

Hi Everyone,

Last week the challenge in one of the groups was penguin nails, since the weather is really warm here I also wanted to do something for the Summer. The theme at the Nail Polish Canada challenge is also Summer. So I've send these in there. You can see all the fun summer mani's and vote by clicking the link.

As most of you know by now I love making scenery/landscape nails and I often also write a story with the mani haha.  Fab Ur Nails and I sometimes do story nails together and we talked about doing them again with this theme too. But later so many others joined too it was so fun. 

First my part of the story:

 “Tropical Holiday” 

Once upon a time there was this cute little penguin girl her name was Sara. Sara did not liked living in Antarctica and wanted a new adventure, so she decided to go on holiday to some place warm. During her holiday she often went to the beach, lying there with a beautiful view on the lighthouse. Swimming in the ocean, cuddling the starfish, making sandcastles, playing with the beach ball and her kite. One day something amazing happened and she saw this super hot penguin "beach" guy.... He noticed her too and it was love at first sight <3  

Base Sinful Colors Snow me White, sponged with OPI Sand in my suit, P2 Blue's time and P2 Who cares? Added some white for the waves. The rest is all stamped. Lighthouse and starfish are from Moyou Sailor 01, palm trees, sandcastle, sun, kite, beach ball are from Nailways Vive la Vie- Beach baby, birds from Stampaholics ST01 and the penguins from FUN8, the flower is Konad M32. 

Like I said we started thinking it was just us 2 so here also the pic of my mani and Johanne aka Fab Ur Nails her mani. Her episode was at the beach in the evening. But I'll paste the complete story below :) Since a few other chapters were added between ours.

Like I said more people joined so I wrote the rest of the storiy too and paste it all together.

 The complete story:

“Tropical Holiday”

Once upon a time there was this cute little penguin girl her name was Sara. Sara did not liked living in Antarctica and wanted a new adventure, so she decided to go on holiday to some place warm. During her holiday she often went to the beach, lying there with a beautiful view on the lighthouse. Swimming in the ocean, cuddling the starfish, making sandcastles, playing with the beach ball and her kite. One day something amazing happened and she saw this super hot penguin "beach" guy.... He noticed her too and it was love at first sight <3 (mani made by Diana van Nisselroy)

“Taking a Swim” 

Sara went for a walk on the beach and visited a great beach shop where she bought a new bikini. She wanted to look at her best for the beach guy. She immediately put it on and it looked so good  on her. After her swim in the ocean she walked around the beach collecting beautiful shells. But her mind was still at the hot guy she saw earlier. (mani made by Laurie Nievin)

“Catch a Wave” 

The beach guy saw this super cute girl on the beach, but later she was gone and he decided to grab his board and catch some waves. During the sunset the sky turned this amazing orange color but all he could think about was that girl and hoping he would  could see her again. (mani made by Notty Norma)

"Magic of Moonlight" 

After the long day and full of fun in the beach Sara was a little shy and believe it or not the hot beach guy was shy too. He thought she was soo beautiful he just did not had the guts to talk to her. When the night fell he finally talked to her. Sara found out his name was James They enjoyed a romantic evening at the beach under the full moon. Listening in the smooth breeze of the sea.. On that romantic evening the penguin love story started .(mani made by Johanne DG aka Fab Ur Nails) 

 “Going tthe Jungle” 

Sara and James were completely in love, both never expected they would find love outside Antarctica. They decided to go the jungle together. That was such a great adventure, seeing purple monkeys, a big frog and a beautiful tiger. They also saw this cute Toucan bird hiding in the bushes. It was such a great day. (mani made by Pamela Feader)  

“Visiting the Pyramids” 

Their journey did not end in the jungle, cause they also went to Egypt to visit the pyramids. The tropical holiday was really warm for a penguin, both compared to the heat in the desert that was nothing. They were extremely hot, but luckily they found a nice oasis. So they could cool down. From the oasis they had a beautiful view on the pyramids. After they cooled down they also went on a camel ride through the desert back to the hotel. (mani made by Sara Sue Sams) 

Is this where to story ends or will there be more chapters? 

After this more people did an episode of the penguin story. I will post the rest someday too ;)

Thanks for reading and if you like you can vote or/and still entered the Nail Polish Canada challenge too.

"Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees...."

Hi Everyone,

"Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees 

and the flowers and the trees,

the moon up above, 

and the thing called love." 

A few weeks ago there was this contest from Above The Curve and the theme was Spring is in the air.  In the Spring lots of animals/people fall in love so I wanted to do a cute Spring scenery where 2 snails fall in love  :) You know how much I love doing sceneries/landcape nails all done with stamping. I always have so much fun making these. 

Base a white from P2 sponged with Born Pretty Store BK 06 and BK 02 glow in the dark polishes. Added a subtle Spectraflair topcoat on top. Used many plates HB34 (bee), Moyou Mother Nature 01 (hearts, grass, flowers, butterfly) and 02 (flowers) Moyou Suki 10 (grass), Moyou Princess 04 (snails), Nailways Snowwhite Weather Forecast (clouds) and Nailways Vive la Vie Beach Baby (kite). Using Konad SN dark orange, orange pearl, green, black, white, pastel violet, sky pearl, yellow, red and Klean color metallic white.

And another picture with different light.

And a pic of just the gradient glow in the dark sponged base.

I was happy with how this mani turned out. While I was making it the song about the Birds and the Bees got stuck in my head and now I hope you have that too haha ;)

The see all the other entries in this fun contest click here. And also check out their beautiful polishes I can stop drooling on those holo's (don't own any but my nail friends do and when they post their mani's I am like woooow soooo pretty :) )

Thank you for reading.

Have a nice day :)

NailNation Awesome Sauce with simple nailart

Hi everyone,

Today a mani I did 2 weeks ago. It was a nice Spring weekend and I wanted a bright holo on my nails, so it was time to use one of my NailNation polishes. 

I really loved Awesome Sauce it looked amazing especially in the sun ofcourse. After I did topcoat on it it changed color...that was so weird. I know white stamping often changes color with topcoat but the polish it self turned more orange too. You can see the difference on my mani and pedi picture.

I went to the beach that weekend so I wanted something bright. The challenge that week in AIS was to combine stamping with other nail art, so I decided to do some dotting too (but I totally forgot to post that mani there that sunday haha)

Base NailNation Awesome Sauce, stamped with Konad SN white and Nailways Vive la Vie - Beach baby A-NW00010. And dotted with white and later went over it with Konad PSN psyche yellow and psyche orange.

Here you can see how the polish and the stamping turned more orange.

 Matching pedi and mani (well not very matching since the color changed ;) )

And my hand on the beach.

And some swatches of this awesome polish ;)

Final a pic of the sunset we watched sitting at a bench eating and enjoying a nice cold beer.

Thanks for reading.

Valentine's Day in Paradise

Hi Everyone,

Today another mani I made last weeks. Made these for a Valentine's challenge on Nailpolis. I wanted to do a V-day mani like how I would love to spend my Valentine's Day...somewhere in Paradise, warm, the beach, the ocean hmmm :) A few years ago I did a romantic mani like this, together with stamping and self made water decals see here. It inspired me to do something like this now too, but since I now own love couple plates I made it an all stamping mani (and a little tiny bit of freehand) :)

So I made a romance under the moonlight, with a beautiful (love) boat) an airplane making a heart in the sky and even the dolphins are in love <3

Base 3 holo's from Teeez Cool 02, Smooth 01, Outta Control 01. Stamped with Konad SN black and China Glaze OMG. Using Messy Mansion MM03 (love couple), Stampaholics ST01 (dolphins), Nailways Vive la vie Beach baby (palm trees), Vivid Lacquer VL023 (boat), HB29 (heart in sky) Nailways Vive la vie Vacation (airplane) MoYou Mother Nature 01 (heart above dolphins) and Konad M14 (silver twinkle stars). And a little freehand (moon, islands, waves).

Another picture.

And a picture of just the holo base.

Thanks for reading.

Truckstar festival in July

Hi Everyone,

In July my boyfriend and I always go to the Truckstar festival, it's not really my thing but he really likes that so I always go there once a year. Today I'll show you the mani/pedi I've made for that and some Truck pics (I do always like the special paint and it's nail art inspiration haha).

Base Aly's Dream Polish 22 hottest pink (such pretty bright pink holo) Stamped with Kleancolor metallic black and Cheeky CH 51 (the stars) and made a sort of Truck from the Locomotive image on Nailways A-NW00012 Vive la vie -Vacation. I removed parts of it and added white for the wheels and window.

Another picture.

Since it was Summer I had to make a matching pedi too :)

I really like this Aly's Dream polish here some swatches.

If you like it too go check out her FB page: Aly's Dream Polish you can find a link to her shop there too.

And some pictures of some of the Trucks we have seen. 

 This paint would be an amazing multichrome nailpolish haha.

I love the husky's.

 Cuteee rattie haha.

 There is always the caravan race, when the trucks try to loos or flip the caravan while driving.

Thank you for reading.
