Christmas nails Metallic Green

Here again some Christmas nails :) I love making Christmas nails. I already have new Christmas nails at the moment but I still had to post this creation.

As a base I'm wearing HEMA metallic green (swatches see previous blog ad below) on top some Christmas decals. I did not make these decals myself, but I bought them. Self made decals don't have white in them, because a regular printer doesn't have white inkt. (yeah I know I still have to make a blog about how to make your own water decals) I stamped with Konad SN Green M59 and SN white M11.

Photo without flash under artificial light, here you can see the cute decals better.

 

 

 

 

I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year with lots of nailpolish and nailart ;)

HEMA Metallic Green

I saw this polish a few weeks ago but I didn't bought it because in the past I didn't have a great experience with this brand. But then one of my nail friends bought the purple one, and she said it was a nice polish. So I went back and got the green one, I just couldn't get this color out of my head ;) I really love it, but find it hard to describe the true color.

Here some pictures:

Purple and Pink Christmas nails

I've made this creation for one of my nail friends Esther, she loves purple and pink so I promised her to make a Christmas creation with those colors. Who said Christmas nails should be green, red, white, silver or gold ;)

As a base I'm wearing Color Club Wild at Heart (for swatches see my previous blog) I stamped with Nfu Oh number 63 and used Konad plate M64 and M12, the little curly things I decorated with pink glitter.

My camera had trouble with this, it is to much holo ;) So I used my sisters camera for this photo.

Photo with flash and my own camera. Here you can see the holo of the Nfu Oh stamps, but overall it is more unclear. But the colors are more accurate.

Photo without flash, here you can see the stamps and glitter good, but the color isn't accurate.

Color Club Wild at Heart

Color Club Wild at Heart is a beautiful dark purple holographic polish. I really love it and it is also great for stamping :)

Disney Chip & Dale Christmas nails

My first Christmas creation for this year :) In Dutch we call them "Knabbel and Babbel".When I was little I used to watch a movie every year with Chip & Dale and Mickey Mouse and Pluto decorating the Christmas tree, I just loved that short movie and still love Disney so I made Chip & Dale nails.

As a base I'm wearing P2 Divine and a white french with China Glaze Snow (see pictures below). I stamped with Konad SN red and plate M45. And I used selfmade water decals of Chip & Dale with Christmas hats (I photoshopped the hats on them myself). It is not so perfect (the dots aren't that great) but I'm happy with it :)

Here are some photo's of only my base.

On top of the white french I have another coat of P2 Divine to make it less white and more shimmery.

I will make some more Christmas nails and I promise to blog about my little giveaway next week.

Disney Piglet week 3: love

Okay it is a bit late but I was away this weekend. Here are my last Piglet nails (I'll probably make more Piglet creation in the future) This last creation had a love theme. I made them around Valentines day and also for a contest.

As a base I'm wearing OPI I Pink I Love You. Beautiful color but needs more then 4 coats :( Stamped with OPI Rosy Mistletoe-sies and Konad SN Pastel Pink, Imageplates: M2, M3, M14 en M18. And ofcourse selfmade water decals of Piglet.

Sinterklaas nails

Sinterklaas is a Dutch holiday. We celebrate it on the 5^th of december. I don't celebrate it this year but I did wanted to make some Sinterklaas nails.

My nails are little presents wrapped in China Glaze Sexagon from the Kaleidoscope collection. Every finger has a different bow matching to the Black Petes and Sinterklaas hats, stamped with Konad SN yellow, red, blue, green and imageplate M3. The Black Petes and Sinterklaas are self made water decals.

Now for my international readers some information about our Sinterklaas holiday, I got this information from a website (read more info about Sinterklaas) because it will take me to long to try to explain it in English myself ;)

Sinterklaas is an old man, who has been around for a very long time, like santa. And like santa he likes to hand out presents. Sinterklaas lives in Spain and once a year he comes to the Netherlands on his steamboat for his birthday. He arrives at the end of November together with his helpers and his white horse. The helpers are called Black Petes. They are black because they are always crawling through the chimneys of every house to deliver the presents. As soon as the Sint is in the country, kids all over get excited. Every week they get to put one shoe under the chimney. In your shoe you put carrots for the Sints horse, and a present wish list. And often something sweet to chew on, for the Sint and his helpers. The kids also sing Sinterklaas songs, to get the Sint in a good mood. Then at night, Sint and his Petes walk over the roofs and the Petes jump down the chimneys. They collect the things in the shoes and exchange them for presents and chocolate letters. That is, if you were a good kid all year. If you weren’t you have to watch out, because he just might take you back to Spain with him as punishment.

Then on the fifth of December it is the Sints birthday. This day there is a lot of singing for Sinterklaas. In the evening he and his Petes go around and deliver big bags of presents everywhere. The difference with Christmas presents is that every present has a little poem with it. These poems are usually used to tease people and point out their flaws, but in a funny and nice way.

Here a picture of how Sinterklaas and his Black Petes look like as a person.

P2 013 Stylish + P2 Crackling silver topcoat

I know it's Disney Piglet week on my blog, but I wanted to show you my current nails :) I've cut my nails they were really long and sometimes it is nice to have shorter nails, although it feels weird like I'm missing something but that I have to get used to.

I love polishes from P2 that is one reason I often go shopping in Germany. This color was a present from a friend.

And now the photo with the P2 Crackling silver topcoat on top.

When you apply a thin coat you get more small cracks, when you apply a thicker coat you get bigger cracks (see my ringfinger) I love this crack polish I also have a black one from Isadora (will post those swatches from a couple of months ago later) but I like the P2 one better it is not so thick and is easy to apply.

I'm planning a giveaway with crack (and magnetic) polish so keep watching my blog! (comments are nice to instead of just watching ;))
