Long time no writing, eh?<br />
I know, I know, busy life and stuff, but mostly lack of inspiration to write something. And of course Instagram. Boy, what is that easy!<br />
<br />
But from the moment I blew the dust off of my Canon camera and started playing around with it again I knew I had to update my blog because, well, the latest actual blog post is about 6 months old.<br />

I played around with my Little Northies from the OPI Nordic Collection and some saran wrap. When I showed them to my mom she said they looked like a crystal called Labradorite. She showed me her Labradorite necklace and I could only agree with her!<br />

The polishes I used are OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid, OPI How Great is Your Dane? (both Little Norties) and OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby. (from Rock Starlets). I used a ball of plastic wrap to create the marble with these three colors. Then I outlined my nails with OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Labradorite is an unusual mineral. It can display a beautiful iridescent play of colors, caused by internal fractures in the mineral that reflect light back and forth, dispersing it into different colors. This effect, known as labradorescence, gives Labradorite its appeal and fame.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Labradorite is considered by mystics to be a stone of transformation and magic. It is said to clear, balance and protect the aura. It is purported to help provide clarity and insight into your destiny, as well as attract success. Mystically, energies of stress and anxiety are said to be reduced by labradorite, possibly due to is energy of self-confidence. </span></span><br />

Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet as a base, then I used scotch tape for the white triangle and stamped - also with the tape - using BM-423 and Essence Stamp Me! Black.<br />

I wish I had taken more pictures of this manicure, but unfortunately I had to work that day and when I came home, the manicure was all wrecked because of the activities that day.<br />

Next time I'll show; GLITTERS! That will be a hard challenge, cause boy!, have I some really pretty glitter polishes to choose from!<br />
AND! That will be a great opportunity to review OPI Glitter Off Peel-able Natural Base Coat!<br />

Hello sweeties!<br />
<br />
It has been over 2 months since I updated my blog. Isn't that a shame? It is...<br />
<br />
<br />
But today I have for you the 15th challenge, also known as Delicate Print. I find this challenge hard to do, because the term is so broad, you can interpret it in so many ways! I wanted something simple, something quick. So I chose for a nude background with white delicate stamping. Here's what I came up with.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It was indeed super quick. As a base I used 2 coats of Essie - Ballet Slippers and for quick drying I used one coat of Seche Vite. I stamped the lace using image plate BM-323 and the little flower is a part of an image from an Essence stamping plate. Polish I used was Stamp Me! White by Essence. Once again sealed in with a coat of Seche Vite.<br />

Though I like how it turned out, I find it just a bit too simple for my nails. But the next challenge will be more 'me', I promise!<br />

I have many floral stamps to choose from, but I wanted to do some free hand nail art. So I did. I made some poppy's, or 'klaprozen' in Dutch. I painted two nails with poppy's and the rest of the nails are painted with two coats of W7 Lava Flow.<br />

This polish remind me of poppy's because the black glitter looks like the seeds of a poppy and the red glitter comes really close to the colour of the poppy flower petals.</div>

I really enjoyed painting these floral nails free hand. I did quite some stamping and tape manicures lately, so it was nice to put my painting skills in the design for a change.</div>

For the 13th challenge I didn't want to do cheetah or zebra nails, because I think those are too mainstream. I wanted to do some snakeskin print nails, but I wanted them to look as realistic as possible. So I got onto the web and searched some snakeskin images. I found some white/beige/gray prints that I really liked. So, here are the nails!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
These nails took some serious painting! I used a few different techniques, which I'll show below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiAb8kHLaCF-oTpvrWwfH2ePkxQOi9l7BiFSNcAaKrIQDbMnOLgr8CqmKfCPNxhJJHaTpl5bU5LMjAZiHYJs7zUtqhmnmuZHJBXtad5Qah_jFhP4DDs8UZCOD7kECEXeAYMjLvkuflyvj0/s1600/13+Animal+Print+01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiAb8kHLaCF-oTpvrWwfH2ePkxQOi9l7BiFSNcAaKrIQDbMnOLgr8CqmKfCPNxhJJHaTpl5bU5LMjAZiHYJs7zUtqhmnmuZHJBXtad5Qah_jFhP4DDs8UZCOD7kECEXeAYMjLvkuflyvj0/s640/13+Animal+Print+01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
These are the equipment I used for this manicure. From left to right, top to bottom: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifier Base Coat, Essie Blanc, OPI My Vampire Is Buff, Catrice ASHley, Only You Mirror, Mirror, OPI Nein, Nein, Nein! Ok, Fine!, ball of plastic wrap, image stamping plate MLS-09, Essence stamper, old gift card, kitchen towels.<br />
<br />
First, I painted my nails with two coats of Essie Blanc, let it dry and used the saran wrap method to dab on the colours OPI MVIB, Catrice ASHley and Only You Mirror, Mirror.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then I stamped on a snakeskin print using image stamping plate MLS-09 and OPI Nein, Nein, Nein! Ok, Fine!. Topped it with Seche Vite and voilà! Snakeskin Print Nails!<br />

I like how the colours come together in this manicure. These are quite realistic looking, as I say so myself!<br />

December in Holland is such a busy month! Especially because we celebrate 'Sinterklaas' as well as Christmas. I did not even have time to post or even paint my nails! Now that the holidays are over, the calm is back again.<br />
<br />
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and received fun presents! I did! I was spoiled with 3 OPI polishes, a cute sweater, a day at the spa for two, a xmas mug with candy in it and lots of love from my family and friends!<br />
As Christmas present from my boss, I got a beautycard, which I spend on buying more new nail polishes! I bought nine polishes from the brand Only You, which they sell at Ici Paris XL. I also bought two polishes from Barry M, sold at River Island, which I show you one of them today.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
Today I have for you the 12th challenge, stripes!<br />
<br />

<br />
As a base I used Blue Velvet from Only You (one of the polishes I got this Christmas). When completely dry, I used two pieces of tape to create a gap in the middle of each nail for the glitter polish, which is Amethyst Glitter from Barry M (also bought during Christmas). I topped everything off with Essence Soft Touch top coat.<br />

Today I took a little break from the challenge - which I still didn't finish - to paint my nails more 'wintery'. So here's my Snowflake Jelly Sandwich!<br />

Isn't this cute? It is so subtle and sweet yet so wintery! I didn't want it to be much of a Christmas manicure, we celebrate Sinterklaas before Christmas, so I think that's a little early. But the Xmas nails are definitely coming!</div>

For this manicure I sandwiched OPI - Pirouette My Whistle between Catrice - Cotton Candy At Eiffel Tower. I stamped the snowflakes with Essence - Stamp Me! White and used plates BM-323 & BM-H02.<br />

For this challenge I used pastel colours to brighten up my day, and it did. But when I went outside to take pictures it started to rain which ruined my good mood. It also ruined my pictures, as there was not enough light to capture the manicure correctly. I fixed it a bit with Photoshop, but I'm still not very pleased with the results.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are te photos.<br />

Today I have for you the 10th challenge, that means gradient! A while ago I saw a <a href="http://www.adventuresinacetone.com/2013/07/tutorial-tuesday-crisscross-texture.html" target="_blank">tutorial</a> for textured gradient nails by <a href="http://www.adventuresinacetone.com/" target="_blank">Adventures in Acetone</a>. I did them and changed the colour scheme a bit as I don't own the Sugar Coat polishes. Here's my take:<br />
<br />

I took Herome W.I.C. San Francisco as a base colour and for the textured gradient I chose Barry M Kingsland Road and China Glaze Unrefined. The colours make a soft gradient.<br />

I like the outcome and I really like the feel of it. It feels kinda like sandpaper. I touch my nails all day because of that! ;)<br />
<br />
When you feel like something different, you should definitely try out <a href="http://www.adventuresinacetone.com/2013/07/tutorial-tuesday-crisscross-texture.html" target="_blank">Jacki's tutorial</a> for these nails!<br />

a hard time finding out whose it was originally, because this picture was all
over the web without a name or watermark. I find it disturbing that people just
use pictures without giving credit to the nail artist who made it. So here you
go <a href="http://www.missadelinne.com/" target="_blank">Missadelinne</a>, I got my inspiration from you. You are a wonderful nail artist

I used
quite a few polishes as you can see. The base is Essie Blanc. For the rainbow
colours I used Catrice Abloom (red), Catrice Orange Utan (orange), Kiko 279
(yellow), Catrice Miss Piggy’s BF (green), China Glaze Sunday Funday (blue) and
China Glaze Man Hunt (dark blue). I created the lines using striping tape.</div>

If you wonder what is on my index finger, well that was the cut which I told you about in my stash update. Although the cut is healed, it left a little scab behind. I know I could have photoshopped it out, but I was lazy, hehe ;)<br />

It has been a CHAOS with my working hours lately and on top of that I had cut myself in my index finger, so that I couldn't polish my nails or even take off my old nail polish :(</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>But it has almost healed so I'm back! I hope to post more frequently now! And now for the blog post.</i></span><br />
<br />
Yeah, so I got myself some more photo display shelves... I got thirteen now... WHAT?! I know...<br />
<br />
I now have two walls full of nail polishes; five large shelves and one small shelf on the left wall and five large shelves and one small shelf on the right wall. I got one small shelf above my bed, so my BF and I can store our phones and his glasses at night (I have a high sleeper bed).<br />
<br />
I got all my polishes sort by colour. It costed me about two whole days to do that. It was really a pain in the a** but the results are soooooo much better now! I don't want them sort by brand and then by colour, because I own over thirty brands of nail polish. If I do, it would look like a big mess.<br />
<br />
At the upper shelf on my right wall I have my multi glitter polishes which are almost impossible to sort by colour ;) I also have some small collections like the Fuzzy Coat polishes by Sally Hansen, Euro Centrale mini collection & Take Ten mini collection by OPI and some of H&M (all of those are not in the picture).<br />
<br />
The first shelf of polish actual sort by colour contains only pinks (!!) which go from lightest to brightest/darkest. The next shelves go from corals to reds, from reds to oranges, from oranges to yellows, from yellows to greens, from greens to mints and from mints to blues.<br />

Then, on the left wall I started at the after last bottom shelf with the leftover blues (I have a lot), from blues to purples, from purples to burgundies, from burgundies to coppers (what? yah..), from coppers to browns, from browns to nudes, from nudes to golds (whatever..), from golds to holographic glitters, to silvers, to greys, from greys to blacks, from blacks to whites (weird gradient btw) and from the whites to the iridescent toppers and flakies.<br />

Phew! That is a lot of polish! At least I think over 400 polishes are a lot. Don't you think? I really love my colourful walls and it makes me smile every time I look at them! It makes me feel rich ;)<br />

I already knew I wanted to stamp today's challenge. As I recieved a lot of stamping plates in the mail lately, I had plenty of choice for the design. I chose Essie Blanc as the base colour and stamped with Essence Stamp Me! Black.<br />

For the thumb I stamped the tribal / aztec design from BM-402, for my pointy finger I used the chevron pattern from BM-423, my middle finger is stamped with the triangle pattern from BM-414, for my ring finger I used the houndstooth / pied de poule pattern from BM-322 and my pinky is stamped with the stripes from BM-411.<br />

Seche Vite made everything perfect. It smoothed everything out, gave it an enormous shine and it made the black much more dark! I have to work this evening, so I expect this manicure not to last much more longer, but that's okay, because I can just continue the challenge and paint some metallic nails!<br />

Today's theme is violet. I'm not a huge fan of purples, but I do really like how this manicure turned out! It kinda looks like ikat, an abstract, knitted... something? Actually I don't know what it looks like... Anyway, enjoy the pictures!</div>

For this mani I used three shades of purple (or should I say; 'violet'?). For the main colour I used Yves Rocher Améthyste. For me that is THE purple colour. For the darker violet I used Essence Passion For Fashion and the lighter shade is OPI You're Such A Budapest from the Euro Centrale collection.<br />

The next challenge is Black & White and I cannot wait to post that one, as I got a great idea for that challenge. But it is also a pity that I have to take these off already :(<br />

I made the gradient with Ciaté Snow Virgin and Kleancolor Neon Aqua. Then I topped it with Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Wool Knot. Looks kinda icy.<br />

I loooooove the Fuzzy Coat polishes! The six colours I bought are 200 All Yarned Up, 300 Peach Fuzz, 400 Tight Knit, 600 Fuzzy Fantasy, 700 Wool Knot and 800 Tweedy. I did not buy 100 Wool Light and 500 Fuzz-Sea because they are dupes to Barry M Marshmallow and Barry M Sour Apple, which I already have. No need to buy the same polishes!<br />
<br />
I like the way the white bar glitters show up well on the blue and the blue bar glitters show up really nice on the white polish!<br />

I painted all my nails with two coats of China Glaze Re-fresh Mint and stamped the dollar signs with Catrice Sold Out Forever with plate CH55 from the Cheeky Summer Collection. I like those two colours together! Again, I chose a matte finish for this one, because it gives it that paper feel.<br />

As you can see (maybe?), I made some pics with a shiny topcoat too, but I didn't like it too much. Okay, more pictures with the matte finish...<br />

I was very astonished by the fact that Catrice polishes would stamp that well. I'm definitely trying out some other polishes from Catrice to see if they will stamp as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
Alrighty then, one last picture for you guys!!<br />

Todays challenge is Yellow and I did some 'cheesy' nails. My boyfriend showed me <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N33UrNJZ_EY" target="_blank">this video tutorial</a> from ChristabellNails and I knew for sure that this would be my Yellow challenge. Her video's are so clear and the manicure was relatively easy to recreate.<br />

<br />
For this manicure I used H&M Yellow as the base colour. The lighter yellow is Essence Destination Sunshine and for the darker yellow I mixed my base colour with a tiny bit of H&M Chica Boom Boom (yesterdays manicure). Just like ChristabellNails did, I painted a layer of matte topcoat on top to give this a more realistic look.<br />

The grass fits perfectly in this picture because without grass, there would be no cheese! I really like how these turned out and it's a shame I have to take these off real soon :(<br />
<br />
(I'm craving for a slice of cheese right now... ;)<br />

But now I have a week off, so I'll be able to paint my nails more often and of course... ...post more often!<br />
<br />
So that was my little excuse for not posting every day, and now up to where you came for: Nails!<br />

Today's orange and I really don't like orange. Maybe it is because it is just not flattering with my skin tone. That's why I didn't have much inspiration for this one, but I managed to make a manicure that is inspired by the Dutch soccer team. How? Well, orange is THE colour of the Netherlands, and the black & white spots reminded me of the regular soccer ball. Is it just me? Guys? Anyway, here are more pics.<br />

The base colour for todays manicure is Chica Boom Boom by H&M. It's a warm, deep orange, opaque in 2 thin coats. Also like the formula very much! I topped it with one generous coat of Confetti by L'Oreal Paris. Lastly I sealed everything with a layer of Seche Vite.<br />
<br />
Although my thoughts about this mani weren't my best, I did get a few compliments on it. Hope you liked this post, the yellow challenge is coming very soon!<br />

It's a simple V-gap manicure. The red I used is Downtown Red from the 'Colorshow by Colorama' collection from Maybelline. The nude base colour is Cotton Candy from Essence.</div>

I really like how the V-gap makes my nails look longer. So elegant! Deep red is a beautiful colour for fall.<br />

Second 'attempt'? Yes, because the first one was a total flop. But now I'm gonna try it again! Maybe I won't post on daily basis, but definitely on a more frequent basis than I did at my first try.<br />
<br />
Most of you are familiar with the challenge, some are not, but for all of you I have the challenge described below.<br />

I'm very excited to start the challenge! I already feel some designs coming up in my head.<br />
<br />
Let me know what you feel about this challenge! Do you like it? Did you do this or are you gonna give it a try? Feel free to copy the image and paste it in your own blog!<br />

I got loads of them so swatching each and every one of it may take a while! I have made a start by swatching all pink nail polishes.<br />
<br />
It took me way much longer than I first thought it would! Line up all pink polishes from bright to pastel, make labels for the sticks, stick them on there, then polish the tips of the sticks with at least two coats of nail polish, let it dry... And lastly sort all swatches neatly by colour.<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at the pictures I made during this long project.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgV672jrPK4qKpVrHnqYybBVukBdv6b7GCJ8dF_ECXXIXy9oYhwUjs_4vj0ExetLc2fqd3yP0TqVaSRJl4vRSP_sw0SSgAJcGZfJa0n5moWkfCpPVk5fJa92u27_iKSCCTVK3fLADruqz8/s1600/Swatching+01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgV672jrPK4qKpVrHnqYybBVukBdv6b7GCJ8dF_ECXXIXy9oYhwUjs_4vj0ExetLc2fqd3yP0TqVaSRJl4vRSP_sw0SSgAJcGZfJa0n5moWkfCpPVk5fJa92u27_iKSCCTVK3fLADruqz8/s640/Swatching+01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
First I taped the sticks with Scotch tape to my desk, so that they would stay in place while I paint them. Then I printed out a label for each polish with my Dymo label printer and stuck it onto the swatch stick.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu3fHPn1DjOjRNKs6NIgwY9ZlGv1qdN0OmwkVjoPQXFWne-PusoI4wZLIyNpRct3uEMUJ5jrC8kAI3TIOfEqaOSXaJLcN3P_QdLGsSHWOaFQGBOf1soWrTVVVAYJO3ql8tv7Bup9WNRLiP/s1600/Swatching+02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu3fHPn1DjOjRNKs6NIgwY9ZlGv1qdN0OmwkVjoPQXFWne-PusoI4wZLIyNpRct3uEMUJ5jrC8kAI3TIOfEqaOSXaJLcN3P_QdLGsSHWOaFQGBOf1soWrTVVVAYJO3ql8tv7Bup9WNRLiP/s640/Swatching+02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
When I had stuck all the labels on there, I began swatching the polishes. Oh my, what a smell! Even with my window open, I got almost high from the fumes. So by the time I was done swatching the pink polishes, I left my room to get some tea.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Although I got a headache after all these hours of polishing fake nails, I had fun doing it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now comes the hard part: sort them by colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That was quite a tough job to do. Everyone knows how the rainbow works, but have you ever tried sorting over 40 different shades of pink? Neither did I, and boy that takes a long time. When I thought I was on the right track, I rearranged them AGAIN. Now I am quite satisfied with the outcome.</div>

Here's my fan of pinks. If I counted correctly I have 43 pink nail polishes. This is SO pretty! I can't take my eyes off of this neatly organised fan! Check out the close ups.<br />

A little while ago, I recreated <a href="http://chelseasgetnailed.com/cut-out-nails/" target="_blank">this manicure</a> from Chelsea. I was obsessed with her design for some time and I was so glad I finally did them myself. I really like how they turned out. Chelsea is such a source of inspiration for me - nail related. You should definitely check out here blog! <b><span style="color: #ea9999;"><a href="http://chelseasgetnailed.com/" target="_blank">Chelsea's Get Nailed</a></span></b></div>

As you can probably see, I wasn't too careful with bordering my nails. Cleanup was not easy with the black polish I used, but beside the horrible cuticles I think these are cute!</div>

Hi everybody, okay so this is a test post. Nothing exciting or anything! Just checking out how things will look when I change all kind of options in this blog. I wanted this blog to look more professional so first I started to design a new logo. That was the hardest part! Choosing a background for your blog isn't an easy task either. But since this is a nail polish blog, of course I chose for a nail polish background. If you are still reading at this point, thank you for coming by my brand new blog! I hope you like it, and I try my best to post more frequently from now on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But now on to the nails!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had purchased four polishes from w7 and one of these reminded me of the seeds from Dragon Fruit so I just added a pink border to my nails after coating my nails with 2 coats of w7 Salt 'n Pepper. Cute right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still need to practice a bit on my bordering skills ;)</div>
