Dream Flight nails for the Efteling (inspired by my shirt)

Hi Everyone,

Last Saturday me, my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend went to the Efteling, that is our most beautiful Dutch theme/amusement park. On 9 Saturdays in the Summer is it open till midnight, so we always go there once a year. So fun to be able to go in the rollercoasters in the dark. And everything is decorated with lights. The Efteling is also really beautiful park to walk in, lots of pretty trees and flowers and water. It has many rollercoasters and other "fast" stuff but also things for children (or people like me who still like those things too haha) When we were little we always went to the Fairytale Forest...we hadn't been in there for years but this day we said well lets walk through it too :)

I took some pictures of the Fairytale Forest, Dream Flight (you sit in little wagons and visit a fairytale world), The Carnival (also in little wagons and you see little dolls all over the world and visit many coutries) and also some other stuff ;) See below after the nail pics.

My nails were inspired by Dream Flight and my t-shirt that I wore that day. I have so many polishes but no cream dark grey so had to improvise and made a metallic magnetic grey polish matte :)

Base Essence Metallic (magnetic) 03 Steel me. Stamped with Winstonia W205 & W208 (mushrooms, bigger dandelion seed and fairy), Sugar Bubbles SB025 (dandelion and smaller seeds), Konad M36 (butterflies) and Moyou Fairytale 01 (twinkle stars). Using white and pastel polishes from Konad (SN pastel yellow, pastel green, pastel violet, pastel pink and pastel blue). Dotted some dots at the mushrooms and added some rhinestones on my ring finger...just like the bling on my t-shirt. I've made it all matte with Essie Matte About You.

Here a close up from the mani.

And one with my t-shirt in the background.

 A close up from my shirt.

 I also did a matching pedi, but the weather wasn't good enough for flip flops :(

The big butterfly is from Moyou Kitty 01 and the twinkle stars from Konad M14, the rest from the same plates already mentioned.

Also took a picture before I've made it matte.

And here a lot of pictures of that day :)

My big sister on a mushroom :)

The Raveleijn theatre show

The Carnaval when we visited lots of countries..starting in Holland with the wooden shoes and old Dutch clothing.

At around 10pm is started raining just when we were in line for one of the rollercoasters....it sure had a special effect in the dark and rain. We were soaked.

The Haunted Castle.

Some new goodies

I went to Germany some place very close, because I was still a bit sick. I really wanted to go outside because of the nice weather, and of course it is always fun to look a the new nail polish collections. I bought some new polishes, but unfortunately I was really disappointed in two.

From left to right:

- a new color from Essence 52 Out of my mind (beautiful blue with green/gold shimmer maybe duochrome)

- Essence effect topper 04 Mystic mermaid (silver with blue and purple sparkles, really like this one but it's for a topcoat too opaque)

- P2 590 Who cares (such a sweet color)

- Essence magnetic nail polish 01 Miracle shine (a gray polish with lilac shimmer, nice color but the effect is disappointed compaired to the Essence LE magnetics and Alessandro)

- Essence cracking white (really ugly it cracks bad and slow and most of the time only veritcal cracks)

From left to right:

- Essence cracking white, you can see how ugly it is. It needs a really thin coat otherwise it doesn't crack at all, this was a thin coat.,

- Essence magnetic 01 Miracle shine with strong Alessandro magnet, you see the effect isn't that big.

- Essence magnetic 01 Miracle shine without any magnet, a nice gray with lilac shimmer, dries matte.

- Essence effect topper 04 Mystic mermaid.

- Essence 52 Out of my mind (love this color)

- P2 590 Who cares (also love this one it's is sooo cute)

On this photo you can see all my magnetic polishes with different magnets tests.

On 5 o'clock you see the new Essence magentic 01 Miracle shine, the bigger stripes are made with a refrigerator magnet, the smaller ones with the Alessandro magnet. You can see the effect of this new one is less. (don't pay attention to 4 o'clock there is crack polish under those magnetic polishes, so it looks nasty)

I really hated the white crack I tested it over my mood polish and then a did one coat of Essence 52 Out of my mind to make the white blue, it looks better, but I still hate the way it cracks. A close up of the magnetic polish you can see the lilac shimmer in it, but this was the best result with the magnet I could get :( I was playing with it for an hour, first I thought the magnet didn't worked anymore, later I thought I just couldn't do it anymore. But then I tested it with my other magnetic polishes and everything was fine.

I don't recommend buying the Essence white cracking polish, the magnetic one is not that magnetic but still a nice color without the magnetic effect.

My first little giveaway!

Here is as promised my first little/small giveaway. I've reached more then 75 followers (almost 100) so I thought it would be fun to organize this giveaway.

The winnar also gets 3 sets of selfmade water decals by choice.
