Catrice Poison me Poison you "Poisoned with Purple"

2010-06-12T13:58:00.008+02:00

Hello dear readers!

Well since it is a very long time since my last post I am really curious about you all?
I do hope you are okay and are feeling great.
Because of my own health I had to step down for a while and took my necessary rest.
But I'm feeling some better now so it is time to make a new post :-)
Since my last post I broke my two nails from my indexfingers so my nails looked a bit sad.
In the mean time they have grown a lot again.

Well for today I used a mani which I made at the end of April.
At that moment Catrice had some really nice and lovely shades coming out.
This one is a gorgeous pink one. I am still a sucker for purples and blues.

I did two layers of purple and it really looked great.
It is an opaque color. It's a purple shimmer with a red tone.

I love it very much of course.
Well you can have a look for yourself.

Well thank you reading and stopping by!
And it is nice to see you all again.

Love from me and see you next time.

Essence Show your feet "Dashing with Flashy Pink"

2010-05-02T09:20:00.006+02:00

Goodmorning!

This rainy sunday I have a flashy mani for you all.
Still busy and not feeling like I should be :-(
Fortunately I have a little supply of some mani's I did a while ago.
So I can use them in times like this.

I did a mani looking quite prominent I think.
It's a bright pink color from Essence.
The name speaks for itself.
Flashy Pink. And flashy she is. Wow such a bright creme polish.
With one layer it is already quite opaque but I did two layers to be sure.
I have to say that its formula was oke this time.

Actually it is from the "Show your feet" collection.
But they do great on your hands :-)
After polishing I did some striping and decoration.
Just because I like nailart so much.
Well struggling with the tape but in the end it stuck finally to my nails.
Pff....don't know if you also have these problems by appling this tape?
What am I doing wrong???

And finishing with those gorgeous studs wich I got from DollarnailArt.
I think the result was really nice!

What do you think of it??

This was it for now.
Wishing you all a great day and thank you for stopping by.
Till next time.

Love from Karin

From nails to swimmdresses :-)

2010-05-01T08:23:00.009+02:00

Goodmorning dear ones,

Today a rainy day in The Netherlands. Brrrr and it's cold once again.
Where is our spring??? I want it back :-)
And how are you doing?
I especially want to thank my fellowbloggers who responded at my yesterday's post.
Thank you girls. I appriciated this a lot. It is something to remember, this should not happen again.

Today a post about my dear sister in law and her hubby.
My sister in law had a training some years ago to be a nailtechnican.
She almost got her own salon at her house but she didn't go through with it.
Nowadays she has a pair of lovely gelnails. From another salon!
I was allowed to make some pictures of her mani.
She especially got this mani because she and her hubby were going to a big stockmarket to promote their own business.

After not starting her nailbusiness she and her husband started a gorgeous webshop a while ago named "Beauty-vol".
And no nails to find I can tell you ;-(
But they sell the most gorgeous swimdresses and tunics and more!
This webshop provides in swimwear-fashion for people with sizes 42-64.
So this is so great for the shapely women.
I can imagine they do not want to put on a bikini or a regular swimsuit.
So thatswhy she started this business. Having a bigger size herself too she does know how people feel about this issue.
Me wearing a size 38/40 can't buy anything from her unfortunately. She really has great stuff going on there.

If you like you can take a look over there she would love to see you all.
She sells worldwide so it doesn't matter where you live.

Thanks for stopping by and take care you all.
I love you all!

In Memoriam Queensday 2009

2010-04-30T11:06:00.007+02:00

Dear readers,

Today a post about our Queensday 2009.
This post I tribute to all the people who were involded in this tragedy:

In remembrance of the people who died and got injured last Queensdag 30-04-2009.

The 2009 attack on the Dutch Royal Family occurred in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, where a man drove his car at high speed into a parade which included Queen Beatrix, Prince Willem-Alexander and other members of the Dutch royal family; the attack happened on April 30, the Dutch national holiday of Koninginnedag (Queen's Day).
The vehicle drove through people lining the street watching the parade, leaving eight dead and ten injured. It narrowly missed the royal family and crashed into a monument at the side of the road. No members of the royal family were harmed. This attack was the first attack on the Dutch royal family in modern times.

In Apeldoorn there was a memorial about the dramatic events. It took place yesterday.
Queen Beatrix and Mayor Fred de Graaf unveiled a memorial commemorating for the victims around 16.20 hours. Then there was a moment of silence and then the people who were present laid white roses at the monument.

"Het Herinneringsmonument 30 april 2009" The monument was made by the artist Menno Jonker.

The metal box with granite lids is situated under an oak tree opposite the needle. The box contains some glass balloons. Seven white balloons were changed color. They symbolize the seven victims who died in the attack. Some other balloons have retained their color.
There is no balloon for the person which was responsible for this tragedy.

My thoughts are with all the people who lost a dear one in this tragedy.
My special thoughts are also for the parents and family of the person who caused this all. They lost their son which is as bad for them as it was for all the other relatives of all the victims who lost their lives because of him.
My thoughts are also at those people who were badly injured because of this attack.
They had to suffer a great deal.
The Royal Family has my thoughts too, they were very dazed by all this.

I wish everybody, which were involded in any way, a great deal of strenght especially today. Memory's from last year will make this day very hard for all of you.

My deepest sympathy for you all.
This candle is for you all

2010-04-27T21:01:00.008+02:00

Hi guys........

Today a gorgeous sunny day and we worked in our garden.
My parents in law were visiting us today because we have a week off from work.
So we were working in our garden all together (and my nails are still long, didn't shorten them yet :-( ).
It was a lovely day!

But last sunday we had a playdate over here at my home.
Natasja (she don't has a blog), Michelle from The Lacquer Files, Daph from Nailswatches and of course Michèle from Lacquerized. (my daughter)
And we had so much fun.
I'm looking forward for our next playdate!!!

So much gorgeous and awesome polishes together that I couldn't decide what to do :-(
Just sitting and looking at all those bottles......
It could drive you nuts .... hahahahaha.......
But we all had that issue :-)

Here some pictures ...............

:-( my hand looks awfull
I was wearing a Milani Holo, Hi-Tech.

First pictures were of my righthand without nailart.
The last two are from my lefthand and I put some stars on it.

China Glaze "Admire on Awaken"

2010-04-24T09:02:00.006+02:00

Hello sweet people,

Hope you are all doing fine?
Over here nothing changed much, still busy!

Today a follow-up of China Glaze Awaken.
I did a Fauxnad, nr. H29 and used Admire also from the China Glaze Romantique collection.
This is such a sweet lovely color, I love this collection so much.

It didn't went as well as I hoped :-( The fauxnad is alittle blurry I guess.
Well have to try it better next tiime.
But take a look by yourself.

Thank you for watching and till next time.
Love you all.

China Glaze "Awaken the Romantique one"

2010-04-20T19:28:00.012+02:00

Hi everyone,

It is getting boring but how are you all?
I really do hope you're all doing fine.
First I want to say that I am looking at all of your blogs when I can!
I try to response whenever I can, sometimes I really do not have time for it all.
I really dislike that but it is how it is.
But I do love you all and admire your blogs! Please do remember this!

I'm doing okay, still very busy and tired unfortunately :-(
Do not have time for my nails and if the time is availble I am not in
a nail-thing mood :-(
Fortunately I made some mani's in advance so I can post something when I have time for it.

So for this mani I choose a polish from China Glaze.
It is from the 2009 Romantique collection.

It's name is Awaken and I love it.
It is a grey shade and it has a kind of gun-metallic look I think.
It applied well and I used two layers of it.

You also can use this one for stamping. It really works out great!

In the last few weeks I broke two of my nails. I was in doubt cutting them or repairing them.
This time I choose for repairing them.
I used some great silkwraps from Essence for it.
So easy to apply and it doesn't show at all.
At the Essence website you can find them:
This is what they say about it:
"everyone knows how horrible a torn nail feels… the SOS nail repair pads are true knights in shining armor for nail emergencies: when you stick them on the torn nail area and apply nail polish on top, they become transparent and can be filed into shape once dry"

It really works great and I can't even see the wraps on my nails.

But next week we've got a holiday and we want to work in our garden.
I think that it is not possible for me to do anything with my nails.
They are much too long.
Because I am not careful enough I already broke two them.
Can you imagine what will happen while I'm working in my garden :-(
So I am thinking of shorten them a lot.
Think that's better for my nails in this situation!
But still doubting......:-(((( Can't decide what to do????
Please help me!!!!!

I genuinely appriciate your visits at my blog and hope you will be doing this!
Thanks for being here again and I will see you next time.
I love you all.....sweet regards from me to all of you :-)

The Volcano eruption in Iceland and a nailcontest!!

2010-04-16T19:53:00.008+02:00

Photo by Reuter, you can find it over here.

Hi sweet readers,

Well today again a day without planes :-(
Because of the eruption of the volcano in Iceland all airtraffic is forbidden over The Netherlands.
For us people.....who live in the neighbourhood of Schiphol it is getting used to the silence in our environment. It is so quiet!!!! No planes in the air, no stripes in the sky.....no sound of roaring engines above your head (sometimes it is bad).
Nothing, total silence........wow....
In my live I never experienced something like this. Living my whole live here surrounded by the sight of planes and their sounds it really is strange.

And all those poor people who can't go to their homes and beloved ones. People who have to miss the burials or births of family or friends because they are stranded here. It's awfull for them. I think of them all and hope that this cloud of ash will be gone very soon.

But our sky was looking awesome yesterday.
Look at this gorgeous photo.
I got it from a dutch newssite and it was made by a dutch guy Bob Kerssens.

The website you can find over here.

Now after this some updating concerning a nailcontest!!!

Lovely and sweet Kayla from Glamorous Glam Geek is having a contest.
You must make a mani inspired by this photo!

You can enter till April 22, 2010 @ 12am CST!
There will be two winners.

If you feel participating in this contest check it out over here!

Thank you all for stopping by and I wish you all a great weekend.
See you next time!!
Take care and love from me.

Herôme "Dublin Soft and Sweet"

2010-04-12T21:43:00.007+02:00

Goodmorning/evening sweet followers and readers how are you doing today?

Already tuesday and an other day at the office.

Yesterday I had so much fun with my collegues about my nails.
They are always asking and looking what's new on my nails.
They are so adorable "my guys" :-))
The fun was al about winning a contest. Yes me!! Winning in a nailcontest
in the Netherlands. A Sally Hansen nailart-contest inspired on Brigitte Bardot
who stood in those days for a lot of glamour.
So the mani must be glamorous. They choose three of the nicest contributions.
I was one of those three!!!
I never win anything in my life so I was really surprised.
I won with my China Glaze mani which you find over here at my blog.

Secretly I feel a little bit proud.

But enough about that.
For today a mani from a while ago.
It's an other one from Herôme.

I can tell you that the Herôme polishes are all a bit thick.
So you have to use some thinner to make them a bit easier to apply.
For this one I used two layers of polish and apart from the thickness
of this polish it is a really dense polish and it covered my nails real
good.
And despite that fact I love them all a lot!

This is Herôme W.I.C. Dublin 64.
A lovely soft and sweet color. Not a prominent one at all.
So you can use it when you are having your interview for a new job ;-)

Well look for yourself!

I wish you all a great day or evening and hope to see you soon!
Bye bye and thanks for reading.

Karin

China Glaze Devotion topped with Fairy Dust

2010-04-10T20:28:00.008+02:00

Goodevening dear people!

I wasn't much online this past week so I do not know how everybody
is doing at the moment. Of course I hope you all do well.

I had a tough and exhausting week and I am feeling a bit tired at the moment.
But it will pass I guess.

For today's post I made a simple mani.
My daughter bought some gorgeous nailpolishes (China Glaze) at a wholesaler a while ago. She bought some for me too.

I picked two of my new ones: Devotion and Fairy Dust both from China Glaze.

I personally think it is a lovely color. I topped it with Fairy Dust.
Still in the bottle I thought....behhhhh.....but on my nails I said WAUW.....

Such a lovely polish. Meant to be a topcoat and I love it.
Such tiny sparkles in it. They made the right choice to name it Fairy Dust.
It looks like that all over your nails. Gorgeous.

Well take a look for yourself.

That was all for today. I wish you al the best and a very nice weekend and maybe till
a next time.
Take care and love from me.

China Glaze "Strawberry Fields"

2010-03-31T17:45:00.008+02:00

Hi sweet readers,

How are you?
Today a small post from the stormy Netherlands.
It is dreadfull wheater over here, raining, hale and a lot of wind.
Temperatures are like brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Just gor rid of my wintercoat but
had to find it again.
The day before yesterday I had a little accident, don't even know how it came but
I ripped my right indexfingernail. :-((((((

Fortunately it could be saved. Michèle (Lacquerized.) helped me and fixed my nail yesterday!
She put some gel on my nail at one side and buffed it up.
The crack is now sealed with it and I hope it will stay like this.
And because I wasn't feeling so good she pampered me :-)))

After repairing my nail she cleaned them, buffed them and filed them.
To make me happy she choose a happy color for me!
She polished my nails with Essence, Show your feet, Flashy Pink.
She topped it with a gorgeous China Glaze called "Strawberry Fields"!!
A gorgeous pink polish with a subtle gold shimmer.
I love her!!!!! Felt much better after that :-)
Sorry for the blurry pictures. Made them in a hurry :-(

Strawberry Fields brings back memories for a lot of people I gues:

"Strawberry Fields Forever" is a song by the English rock band The Beatles. The song was written by John Lennon during the filming of How I Won the War and inspired by a Salvation Army house in Beaconsfield Road, Woolton, Liverpool near where Lennon lived as a child.

(picture from wikipedia, see link below)

"Strawberry Fields" is also a 2.5-acre (10,000 m2) landscaped section in New York City's Central Park that is dedicated to the memory of musician John Lennon. It is named after the Lennon/McCartney song "Strawberry Fields Forever".

(picture from wikipedia, see link below)

You can find more over here and here.

Well I hope you like my little post today!
Thank you for visiting and I hope to see you all very soon again.
Bye!!!

My daughter Lacquerized got ahead of me and posted it!
So everything you want to know and read about this great looking polish you can find over with her.

So this will be a pfoto-post only! I hope I do not overdose you all :-)
Have fun with it.
And be sure to let me know what you think about it!

Thank you for watching and stopping by on my blog.

American Apparel "The Mouse in Pied de Poule"

2010-03-27T18:08:00.010+01:00

Hello sweet readers.

How are you all doing on this (in the Netherlands) gorgeous Saturday?
Hope you are still fine!

Last week was a week with some nice trips, of course workrelated but it was fun.
Tuesday I went to "Grand Kasteel Woerden".

In the French period, opponents of the Bonapartes, as the writer Maria Aletta Hulshoff, were locked in this Dutch Bastille. The castle has had many purposes. Not only as a defense work (military) prison (until 1872) and hospital until 2002, the castle also had the function of central clothing warehouse of the Ministry of Defense. when the moat was dug, the castle was the scene of the oldest citizen of Netherlands Taptoe (musicband), the local "Friendship Harmony". After the restoration in the late eighties, the castle was used as temporary office space for a business. In 2006 the municipality of Woerden launched plans to convert the castle to housing. Residents of Woerden participated in how the complex would look like. Since 2007 the castle is used partially as a hospitality accomodation and is used as a weddinglocation.

Okay back to the nailpoish :-)
My daughter Michèle order some nailpolish from American Apparel for me.
I have three of them but for this mani I choose a nice grey-taupe color.

I did two lyers of it. This was not the most easy application to do.
The polish was gloppie and the brush wasn't my favorite also.
Maybe I have to use some thinner to make it more liquid.
Next time I try.
The color is very pretty, a soft shade of grey-taupe. It's a creme formula.

Afterwards I used some konad plate M63 and glitter. Because of the lenght of my nails
I should double stamp them but I did it on my thumb and it wasn't so nice.
Even the width of the stamp didn't fit my nails.

The pattern of the plate is called in Holland "Pied de Poule" in English Houndstooth, houndstooth check or hound's tooth. It is a duotone textile pattern, characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes. The traditional colours are black and white, although now other colours are occasionally substituted for the black or the white.

Well I do hope you like it!
Take care and see you next time.
Have a great weekend and enjoy life.

Love Romika.

P2 Gorgeous "Stripes and Studs"

2010-03-24T19:35:00.005+01:00

Lovely temperatures and a gorgeous sun.

A few days ago I polished my nails with the stunning P2 Gorgeous.
Afterwards I did a little nailart on it.

I hope you all like it!
Thanks for your visit and till next time.

P2 Gorgeous "Purple Delight"

2010-03-22T18:07:00.005+01:00

Hello dear readers!!!

I'm having a long day of work behind me now and I am sitting
and relaxing behind my laptop at the moment. Enjoying a very fine glass of
my favorite wine......
Thought I could make a small post today. I always (mostly)
do my mani's in my weekend. So I have some photo's in my archieves.

But before writing about this I want to welcome you all today on my blog.
I really love it when you are coming over here for a look and a commment.
That makes me love it so much.
I hope you are all doing fine today and for the ones who had to work today....
well I hope you are soon getting home and can have some time to relax just as I
do right now.

Last saturday I did this many.

As I told in an earlier post Natasja brought some P2 polishes for me from
Germany.
This one is the one who is called P2 (nr. 171) "GORGEOUS".
Wauw I do think it is gorgeous........I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is such a nice polish to apply, wonderfull......
What can I say?? Just one layer is sufficient for a nice opaque effect.
It's great. I did two layers of it because I wanted to do some nailart on
it later.
Two coats are really okay!
I was been told that this is a dupe of Nfu-Oh nr. 68.
And as I am thinking: We had a playdate some time ago and indeed we did a comparison of these two.

It is a gorgeous purple....hahahahaha......it really suits her name :-)

Well you have to look for yourself!

This was it for now.......see you all later and thank you for visiting and stopping
by on my blog.
I love you all.......

Catrice Pastel Delight instead of my red nails .......

2010-03-20T19:40:00.009+01:00

Hi dear readers!

Hope you are doing fine today. Having a great weekend and playing
with your polish? ;-)
Well today is a very, very rainy day.....it is raining terrible all day.
So not good light for making pictures today :-(

Today I wanted to post my gorgeous red nails but Lacquerized. was a huge
BITCH!!!! She stole my idea!!!! Shame on her!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay the only thing was....it is her nailpolish ;-) But still..............

Hahahahahahaaaaaaaa.....no just teasing....she is no bitch at all.
Michèle you made an awesome post about it!! I love it very much.
I love you sweetheart......:-))

Well that makes me to do an other post. The red one will be later okay :-)
I'll save it for now.

The Catrice Pastel Delight Collection ...............

This is what I read about it on the Catrice site:

"With the light, summery pastel shades of the new "Pastel Delight" Trend Collection by Catrice, the anticipation of warmer seasons to come is sky high.

Soft colours and amazing textures underline the freshly feminine spring look. Modern colour combinations, cool rouge and eye shadow designs as well as an absolute must-have applicator make this Trend Collection the perfect companion for experiencing the spring of 2010 with lots of style, chic and enthusiasm."

They have four lovely summercolors.

Pastel Pink

Pastel Blue

Pastel Yellow

Pastel Lilac

I noticed that the structure of this polish is a little thick.
But I had no problems applying it.
I did three layers. As I remember the blue one was a bit streaky.
The others were less and gave a more opaque look.

It does brought me in summer mood once again :-)
I like the sweet soft colors for a summerday.

Without flash.

With flash.

You can cheer them up with some decorations and you really have
spring or summernails.
I decorated them with some perky "Show Your Feet" stickers from Essence.
And with some little babypearls.

What kind of summernails do you have made already??

I hope you like it again!
Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog.
Bye....till next time and take care.

My Cats.............

2010-03-19T20:07:00.008+01:00

My sweet cats!!

Well I promised you a while ago to make a post about my cats.
So today I do.
We are the owners of two gorgeous creatures called Gerrit and Minou. Gerrit is the crème colored cat and Minou is the black and white kitty.
Years ago in May 1996 when I just started my recent job I had to go to the cellar of the building, where the archives are, and I had to use a key for entering that space.
Just new in the job everything was strange for me. And it was a bit stress at the time.
I'm a civil registrar and the work was completely new to me at that time. That’s why the stress part :-)
When I went home after work that day I took (just something for me to do) the key of the archive with me :-((
I didn't feel so comfortable with this key in my house that I called my .....well he was not my boss but he was teaching me the business.... colleague and told him about the key and that I wasn't feeling great about it.
In other words I wanted to get rid of the thing. The told me that I could bring it over to his house. So I did.........
His girlfriend was also a colleague and worked at the same office.
She opened the door and let me in. Wauwwwwwwwwwww..........I didn't know what I saw!!!!
There where cats everywhere ........
Of course I didn't know at that time but she was from the cat shelter. She had all kinds of cats in her home. She had of course a special cat room for them.
But they were allowed to move freely through their home.

At that time I didn't had any animals. My last cat was disappeared, guess someone stole her because I've searched everywhere and couldn't find her.
She was a gorgeous Persian cat. The sweetness herself.
A few years before this story a friend of my let her outside and she never came back......that was a hard time for me. I got her from the animal shelter.
I placed her photo here too.....Her name was Sheeba.
I still miss her!!!!

And placing her picture I have to place my cat from my youth.
My mom was afraid of him and gave him away :-((( His name was Muis (Mouse)

So seeing all those cats my eye was caught by a very tiny black kitten.
There were 5 of them ..... but the black one draws my attention.
I was sold....and wanted to have the little one....she was so cute....
I asked my colleague: What are you going to do with this little ones??
She said: They are already given to people on the waiting list.
Darn.....that was a shame.....
Then she said: But they are not yet notified of it so I can make
an exception for you because you are my colleague!
Wauwwwwww I was thrilled.....and almost shouted YESSSSSSSS I want to have her...
So it was a fact.....leaving for home I was a the owner of a little cat :-))
Of course she had to stay some weeks over there till she was 8 weeks old.
Finally it was the end of May and I could go and get my sweetheart over there.
When I came in I was immediately attracted to a cream-colored kitten in a corner of the room.

It looks so very pity.....it was so very shy.....with watery eyes and even at looking at him he was growling and blowing at me.
He was so terrified.....
The story of these kittens was that they were captured while people from the shelter were trying to catch their mother. Apparently that didn't succeeded because their mother was gone leaving her baby's behind.
Still don't know why they tried to catch the mother.
So I can tell you that they have suffered a trauma. That's why they were so afraid.
But the little scared one in the corner....well I loved him right away.
So I asked again: Is this one going to someone too????
She said: No....I'll keep this one because nobody wants him. He is scared and shy etc.
I said, a bit nervous of course, ehhmmmm can I have him too????
To my great joy she said: Sure you can.
I was thrilled and so happy :-))
You can imagine my feelings I think?
So I went home with two gorgeous kittens.......

Here they were 8 weeks old. Just got them.

Now they are already 13 years old and they were never sick or anything else.

In those days I lived in a flat, on the 7th floor and they were not able to go outside.
So my cats are real housecats.
For two years ago we moved to a lovely house with a garden.
That was such a situation for them.
Never left the flat, only for their period visit to the vet, and now
in a car driving for a while and then you suddenly they are in a very different surroundings. I guess it must have made them nuts.
Because of lots of space in my house we put them in a large room upstairs.
There were two old closets. In one of them I put some old blankets and left the door open.

I have never seen my sweeties run so fast and being so afraid.
They crossed into the closet and hide them in the darkness.
We kept them a few days in that room to let them adjust to these new surroundings.
Then we opened the room door and let them find their way around the house.
I can tell you this:
After living here over two years now only Gerrit, the cream-one, is the one who dares to go down on the stairway.
It took him about six months to come down. Still scared as he is....hahaha.
He wanted to be with me on the couch and he over won his fear and came down. It was such a joy to see him doing this.
So careful, step by step, zigzagging his way down.
Finally down he ran towards me and sat beside me with such a triumphantly look on his face: So I did it!!!!! And I will never leave again.
From that day on he is up and down as he wants.
His sister Minou still is upstairs. I cannot make her come down.
She doesn't want it and she sits on top of the stairs and looking down. Whenever I bring her down she is yelling and wants to go up to her safe space.
But we are spending a lot of our time upstairs so she is sitting always on my lap or besides my computer or lying on my desk :-)

They actually do both. They love us and we love them so much!!!!!!
I hope that they will be here for many years to come..............

Well I hope you like my cat story!!!

Collistar Blu "Covered with Lace"

2010-03-18T21:05:00.001+01:00

Hi everyone!

How are you doing??

As you could read in my earlier post I did my nails with a gorgeous
Collistar.
I do have to say that it is a awesome color.
But I can't say its application is very well though.
I think it's a kind of liquify during application.
It is a rather thin polish.
But it's worth it. Just because of its color only I would
recommend it.

I ordered some stuff from Dollar Art including Laser Lace.
Kind of weird stuff. But does have a gorgeous result.
I tried to capture it as well as I could with my camera but
you have to see this in real life.
The pictures don't give credits for reality.

Still I hope you do like it.

Thanks for watching and visiting again.
Take care and see you again.

Collistar Blu "Chic and glamour"

2010-03-16T05:44:00.001+01:00

Hello dear readers!

How are you all doing? I always wish the best for you and do hope
you are all fine.

I saw our first "crocus" .... now spring is coming soon I hope.

My last Saturday was very lazy, doing not so much. Little bit of
cleaning, doing laundry and regular stuff and playing with
nailpolish :-)

Recently I bought a gorgeous nailpolish, a blue one from Collistar.
Michèle and I were shopping and she gave me, this beautiful polish
which she saw, in my hand.
I really liked it and decided to buy this one.
After walking and looking around us with the polish in my hand we
went to the counter to pay for it. I paid it and we went home.
I was so happy with this one. Coming home I reached for it in my
purse and was admiring my jewel.
Suddenly my eye caught a sentence on the bottle......
I bought the tester :-((( It was already used for 1 quarter and I
really was disappointed. But I phoned to the shop and they told
me that they didn't pay attention alson and I was able to switch
it for a new one.
Now I was happy again! I changed it last week and now I am the owner
of a gorgeous brandnew bottle.
Well you have to look for yourself what you think of it.

I hope you liked it and thank you for visiting me again.
I love you all, take care and till next time.

We have a winner!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you!!!!

P2 Chic "Chic Le Freak"

2010-03-10T19:48:00.000+01:00

Hi sweet people,

Today something from Germany.
In Germany they sell a gorgeous brand: p2 Color Victim nailpolish.
Because I'm not living near a German border a sweet friend of us Natasja
(my nr.100 follower) bought some bottles for me over there and
send them to me.
Thanks again Natasja for your efforts. I really appriciated it!!
Now I own a few more of them. I will make posts of them later.

It has a wonderfull application so as I had heard.
I only can speak for myself about two of them.
I tried p2 Gorgeous nr. 171 once and it was awesome. I will make another post about this one later.
Today I used p2 Chic nr. 016.
It's a very nice color. It's a bit of a dusty creamy purple and I like it.
It is opaque in one coat. But I did two coats of it.
As you maybe know I am a sucker for purples....so I picked a purple
this time once again for my post.

You can check out the site of this brand. it is sold at DM-drugstores in Germany.

Well I do hope you enjoyed reading this post and liked the pictures.
Please let me know what you think of this awesome brand!!!

Love from Holland and see you soon.

China Glaze Millennium

2010-03-08T05:00:00.008+01:00

Another day and another story..............

Hello dear people........nice to see you again today!

Last week when I had my day off I was thinking what I
would do with my nails.
I ordered some nailart with Dollar Nail Art some weeks ago and finally
it arrived . It was at customs unfortunately :-(
But now it is here I am very happy with it.
I do love the tiny decorations for my nails which they sent me.
So I have a lot of new ideas to achieve.

So I did a mani with China Glaze Millennium.
Such a gorgeous polish. I'm hooked up to this one.
I use it a lot for stamping. It's so beautiful.

But this time I didn't use it for stamping but as a base
for some Fauxnad.
For the pattern I used the Fauxnad plate A05 and stampingpolish
from Konad. A gorgeous purple-blue one.
Afterwards I decorated them with 1,5mm silver dots.
They are so cute :-))
Because the plate is too small for my nails I did a little
French with some glitterpowder.

Well it is a kind of goodbye wintermani I think.

I hope you like it again and please let me know what you think of it.

Thank you for stopping by again and see you some other time.
Take care and embrace live.

Love from me........

Don't forget to enter my giveaway, I added an extra product!

2010-03-07T22:44:00.000+01:00

Hi dear readers,

I added some things at my giveaway!!
I own a lot of Herôme polishes myself and I have to
say that it's a rather concentrated polish.
The first time it's okay but the second time it's already
a bit thick.
That's why I add a product which you can use to make it
less concentrated.
It is from Mavala, a swiss brand. You only have to use a few
drops in your polish to make it more fluid again.

And I add another little present to it "a cuticle pusher from Herôme".

Well my giveaway is still open till the 14th of March.
So if you didn't enter it you still can.

I love you all for following me and writing such sweet compliments
in my commentbox.
I hope to see you for a long time.

Take care for now and bye bye........

Nubar "Peacock Feathers one more time"

2010-03-06T07:00:00.001+01:00

<

Hi sweet friends,

We had a few days with lots of sunshine and blue skies!
Wonderfull.....we are going to get spring very soon I hope.
I can't help it but I want to go outside. Sitting in my garden and
enjoy hearing birds singing and bathing again.
Hmmmm.....hope it soon will be spring.......
And I do hope to see this lovely little jewel very soon.

It's called (Galanthus nivalis) "Sneeuwklokje" in Dutch and in English Snowdrop.

Well as I promised a new post about my other hand!

Yesterday I post my lefthand "Peacock Feathers with some nailart".
I did my other hand with some other decorations.
It's not as precise as I wished it to be.
But....hey.....I'm still practising :-)

I do hope that you like it.

Have a wonderful day and see you all soon.

Nubar "Peacock Feathers glows with Swarowski"

2010-03-04T10:00:00.002+01:00

Hello sweet readers,

Today a new post. I'm having the day off :-) Yeahhhhhh
I was very very busy at work the past days.
Yesterday we were having elections for the new municipality council.
So I didn't had much time unfortunately. I was home very very late
this night.
Though I hope that you are all doing fine!

After wearing Nubar's Peacock Feathers I decorated
my Peacock, because she deserves it :-)
I'm not very good in nailart and I didn't want to use
Konad on it so I got my stripers out and tried something else.
I made a fantasydecoration, on both hands a different one.
Today my lefthand and the next post will be my righthand :-)

I used real Swarowski strass on my nails this time.
Because I think Peacock Feathers radiate glamour
and sophistication I used thes kind of stones, it's special.
I used for striping two stripers from Essene, a silver and
a silverglitter one.

Because we collect Gero, that's a Dutch brand, I used an item from
my collection for my pictures.
Besides a lot of different things Gero also made a lot of cutlery.
I'm a fan of an Old Dutch pattern (model 635) and have lots and lots of
this cutlery for my diningtable. Maybe I will make a post of this
sometimes, just to show you what gorgeous stuff it is.
Besides cutlery and other things they made gorgeous accessories like
this brush. Originally it comes with another brush, comb and mirror
(with I also possess).
I choose for this brush because it shows a beautiful peacock.
It was really great for this blogitem I thought!

Have a look at it and please tell me what you think of it?
I do hope you like it!

Thanks againg for watching and visiting my blog.
I do appreciate all your visits and especially your comments.
I do enjoy them so much.

Well that was all for now.
I wish you all a lot of happiness and a great health.
Take care and see you next time.

Nubar Peacock Feathers "A Beautiful Lady"

2010-03-02T19:00:00.002+01:00

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing fine!
Me is doing oke and I'm already working for two days. Time flys.
Free days and weekends are gone before I know and normal
life starts every Monday morning.
But I have an awesome job and a bunch of sweet colleques so
nothing to complain over here.

This mani I made this past weekend.

I grabbed one of my Nubars and started!
I used Peacock Feathers a awesome polish.
So easy to apply if you have a steady hand which I didn't had.
But with some clean-up afterwards it looks fine to me.

Peacock Feathers is a purple-green-blue colored duochrome polish.
It's so amazing, the color changes from one to another.
Its so magnificent to wear. I'm staring at my nails constantly balancing
them into the light.............
I was ready after 3 coats and I love it.

I read something on internet about "Feathers of a Peacock":
The feathers of the peacock are composed of many colors, including Crescent sheens of bright blue and green. The shimmering color of the peacock feather is due to a phenomena known as interference. Each feather consists of tiny flat flat branches. When light shines on the feather, we see thousands of glimmering colored spots, each caused by minuscule bowl-shaped indentations. This same principle is also responsible for vibrant shimmering colors of butterflies, pheasants, birds of paradise and humming birds. Recreating the unique color of the peacock feather has posed a challenge to artists and ceramists for centuries.

(this info and photo I derived from Tony Hill)

So far for now. I hope you liked my post!
Thank you for vising me again and I will see you next time.
Have a great day.

Misa in love with O.P.I.

2010-02-28T19:00:00.001+01:00

Goodmorning sweet readers!

After posting yesterday with Misa “Forbidden Lust” I topped it
With the gorgeous OPI Holo DS Original. Only 1 coat.

I tried to make some nice pictures yesterday but it was a bit
too dark outside.
So I had to make the pictures by artificial light.
Maybe next time when I make a new post about Forbidden Lust
I’ll try OPI once again and show you better pictures.

What do I have to say about the gorgeous holo…….
Besides that the Misa makes the holo wonderfull…………
I don’t know, just that I love it very much.
I’m a sucker for holo’s and do love them so much.

Well I hope you like them anyway!
See you next time and for now take care as always.

Love from me……….

Misa "Forbidden Lust"

So I wasn't so concentrated making my pictures and everything.

For now I hope you like it!

This gorgeous purple polish is a real eyecandy :-)
It's structure is very delicate and it applies like butter.
I needed three coats of it.

Herôme "Safari in Johannesburg"

2010-02-21T17:54:00.007+01:00

Hello everyone!

How was your weekend? Hope you all had a relaxing and happy time.
Today it's Sunday so I made some time to do my nails.
The wheather outside is grey and it's raining all day.

Lately I bought a lot of new polishes from Herôme.
The brand has a lot of colors and I love a lot of them.
For today I picked a nice kind of taupe color.
Its lovely name is Johannesburg nr. 72.

Applying went just well, I did two layers.
It is a very creamy polish and I love it so much!
I have to say that it was a little thick but with some thinner
it worked okay.

My nails looks a bit curved here and there but it's because of the light I guess.

I have decided that when I reached my 100 followers I will do
a nice giveaway containing products from Herôme!
I hope you will like that!

Well that was it for now. I wish you a nice evening and see
you next time.
Take care sweet people.
Thanks again for stopping by on my blog.

Giveaway at Laquerized.

Koh is going Antique

2010-02-19T17:39:00.003+01:00

Hello dear people,

Well another day! Today it is a very grey day in Holland.
Just raining and very windy over here. And then I don't mention
the cold.....brrrrrrrrr....
It's time for spring, sun and light :-)
Guess we have to wait for that some more time.

I was thinking this afternoon what to do with my mani.
ofcourse I am still wearing my Green Stardust from Koh.
But as I told you yesterday I was a bit disappointed with it.
What reminds me to say that I thank you all so much for all of
your sweet comments.
That really means a lot to me!

Well I decorated Green Stardust with a little stamping and some
striping and dotting.

I used my favorite "Millennium" from China Glaze for stamping and
dotting.
For striping I used a nice silver one from Essence "Silver Star".
This time I used the Delaney plate number H22.

I wish you all a very nice evening and for those with the
timedifference maybe a nice day, morning or midday!
Take care for now and I will see you next time.
Thanks for stopping by again.

Koh Green Stardust 201 "The Olive Star"

2010-02-18T21:50:00.003+01:00

Good evening my sweet readers,

Hope you are doing great!
I had a very busy day at the office. I was glad coming home
today. Ofcourse I wanted to post something new today but my eyes are already
very sleepy :-)

Well today I show you a mani from two days ago.

This is a nailpolish from Koh.
I think it's a lovely color and it applied well.
I did two layers of it.
It is an olivegreen polish with beautiful green flakies in it.
It was a disappointment to be honest.
I do not see the glittering spark from the flakies.
Not with a topcoat nor with a flash-photo.

I took these photos outside in the snow.

Well take a look at it and please tell me what you think of it!
I'm off for bed now and hope to see you all soon.
Take care and till next time.

Love from me......

Etos Effect Nails "Nr. 18 The Blue Wonder"

2010-02-16T04:00:00.002+01:00

Goodmorning to you all!

How are you this morning? I wish all of you a very nice and lovely
day with lots of joy and happiness.

Today an other day at the office. As I told you before I still have to
show nails over there :-) Well today a really pretty nailpolish.
It is from the brand Etos and they sell a lot of lovely little bottles
in various colors.
So I bought some of them.

As so can see my hands and cuticles are still dry :-(
Well have a look at it and tell me what you think of it?

For this mani I choose a pretty blue one.
It has no name but only a number. This one is nr. 18.
I think it's a pity that they come without names but so be it.

It is called Etos Effect Nails.
This was a smooth polish and it applied without any troubles.
I did two layers of it and that was sufficient.
It has a gorgeous shine and I like it very much.

And do you know something that looks similair I really would like
to know.

Enjoy it and I will see you next time.
Take care now and thanks for reading my blog.

Models Own "A Pimped Peacock"

2010-02-15T05:48:00.000+01:00

Hello you all!

Well yesterday I did my nails with Peacock Green from Models Own.
I was snowing almost all day so I took my pictures outside in the snow.
Afterwards I did a little Fauxnad on them.

You can find these plates at "Chez Delaney".

But it didn't go very well, after hanging my laundry I lost some stripes in
the pattern :-(
But I post it anyway.

It was just for fun.

I used a new plate which I ordered on the internet.
They are called Fauxnad (not being a original Konad).
I used number Large H25.
I stamped with Konad Special Nail Polish White.

Well have a great day and thanks for looking.
See you soon!

Models Own Peacock Green "The Lovely Green"

2010-02-14T17:08:00.003+01:00

Hello sweet readers!

Sorry for being absent the past week.
We were very busy moving and reorganizing our home.
Because of that I couldn't find the time to be busy with
my nails.
Actually I was shocked this morning looking at my nails and cuticles.
They looked awful, it was a real mess :-(
But Lacquerized. helped me to fix them. And as I must say they look a lot better afterwards.
But still very dry hands.
After using different types of handcreme's the past weeks I developed
some allergie on the palm of my lefthand.
So also a reason for not using any cream on my hands for now.

Well the order from Models Own was received and finally I can try my
chosen ones.

Today I picked Peacock Green.
A very beautiful green color which applied very smoothly.
I did two layers of it. I believe it's a shimmer.

I would say judge for yourself and let me know what you think of it.
Thanks for stopping by again and for reading my post.
I do missed you all the past week.

Love from Holland.

Essence Shining Star "The soft one with a touch of Nfu-Oh"

2010-02-08T22:04:00.005+01:00

Hi guys,

How are you today? Hope you had and will have a great day!!
Everything was very busy today and tonight I wanted to polish my nails and do something nice with them.
But it didn't worked out unfortunately! It didn't became as I had in mind.
So its a little boring mani. But I haven't seen it by daylight and it could be a surprise tomorrow morning. I'll wait and see.

I used Esssence Shining Star, a really lightbrown color. It needs two layers but its a frosty polish so it has to be applied really properly.
I didn't like it on my nails so I got my Nfu-Oh nr. 49.
I put 3 layers of Nfu-Oh on it.
After that I add some hexa-glitters to it and this is the result.
Still didn't like it :-(

But see for yourself!!!

Well that was all again for now.
Bye bye take care now and till the next time.

A little purple comparison

2010-02-07T11:16:00.009+01:00

Goodevening everyone!

As I said today a new mani.
I've tried some purple ones to make a comparison for the color.

I'm not very good at this but I will give it a try.

I searched for some nice purple colors in my stash and came up with these ones:

Lefthand:
Indexfinger: H&M Goddess On Stage: 3 layers and appling went good.
Middle finger: Max Nails Purple: 3 layers and applying wasn't easy. Thin polish.
Ring finger: Essence Show your feet Purple Magic 03: 2 layers Really easy to apply.
Pinkie: H&M Fashionista: 3 layers but nice to apply.

Righthand:
Indexfinger: Gosh Gasoline 541: 5 layers, application wasn't very good.
Middlefinger: China GlazeLOL 637 (holo): 3 layers, also difficult to apply.
Ring finger: H&M Wicked Purple: 3 layers and application was good.
Pinkie: Collistar Viola Glitter 043: 3 layers but great application.

Again troubles making the photo's :-(
We have a lightbox but I'm not good at it.
So some pictures are from the lightbox and some are under artifical light.

Well I'm just a starter with this and next time I'll to try to be more specific about everything.

Afterwards a little konad.
As you can see the konadplates are much to small for my nails.
I ordered with Delaney's so they might have a better fit for my nails.

Well this was it again for now.
Don't know when I've got time for a new post but you will see it!!

Have a nice evening and take care and see you next time.

Deborah Milano Nr. 17 " Sparkling Glam"

2010-02-06T18:35:00.008+01:00

Goodevening dear people,

How are you doing all?
Well as you all can see my blog has new look. My daughter Lacquerized. did a very nice job and gave it a new look.
I can tell you that I'm very happy with it.
Thanks again sweety :-) Love you!!

And what a little sweet bird if got now :-) I'm in love with the little one.

For now again something from the past.
I saw a polish-brand which I hadn't seen before and I bought one of their colors.
Again I can not tell what color it is:-(
It looks a little copper red, or brownish red. I really don't know.
But its a lovely color. Photo was taken with flash which made the original color
changed a bit :-(
I will do this mani sometimes later again and make better pictures of it.

The brand is Deborah Milano, Shine Tech and it is number 17.

Afterwards I did some konad and used plate nr. M59 just for trying out.
I stamped with China Glaze Millennium.

For now this short post.
I will be back later this weekend with a new mani and post.

Have a nice evening and take care :-)

Nfu-Oh 65 "Another Holographic One"

2010-02-05T18:27:00.005+01:00

Hello dear readers,

How are you all? Hope you are all well.
I didn't had time to polish my nails and to make pictures the past week :-(
But today I have a little more time.
So I polished my nails again and will post somewhere later this weekend.
For now I have something from two weeks ago or so.

I tried my other holographic Nfu-Oh, number 65.
I really am in love with these holo's from Nfu-Oh!
I think they are gorgeous.
Although I didn't took the time for a real good picture I'll post it
anyway. Next time I will make better ones.

What awesome lady isn't she!!!

Well a bit of a short post for now. But I still hope you like it.
For now take care and have a great evening.

Hope you had a nice weekend!
Today we did a bit of craft. I tried some nailart.
You can see this on Youtube: Every friday Love4nails polishes her nails and decorate them with the most beautiful designs.
I'm always watching her but never did something like this.

Basecoat: OPI Natural Nail Base Coat
Black Polish: BeYu 318

Topcoat: OPI RapiDry
Decorations from Essence

Konad "Nubar and China Glaze love each other"

2010-01-30T19:16:00.008+01:00

Hi dear people,

A Konad-post from a very white Holland :-) Yes it snowed al lot
this night and when we woke up the whole word was white!!!
Wohhhh I love it....and the sun was shining so it was a awesome day
today!!! I was a pleasure to walk outside in the crispy snow.

Well after that I did a little konad.
I used my mani from yesterday, the Nubar duochrome Moon Shadow.
I stamped it with China Glaze Millennium and I used Konadplate M65.

I have to say that the Millennium is outstanding for konad.
Wauw what a gorgeous polish to use.
Unfortunately the full konad-plates are way to short for my
nails. So I had to do a double pattern on my nails. On my thumb
I should use two and a half :-( But I didn't.

Well that was a whole new job for me to do.
But it went quit well for the first time.

I decorated my lefthand with some nailart-stickers.
They look like little strass/rhine stones.
My righthand nails were only stamped with the plate.

I hope you like it, It was again some practising, but was fun to do.
Thanks again for stopping by on my blog, its always a pleasure to see you here!!
Thank you!!
Take care and till next time.
Love from Holland.

Nubar Moon Schadow "The Awesome One"

2010-01-29T16:21:00.009+01:00

Dear friends,

I have a little more time at the moment so I took a shot at it!

Today a rainy day in Holland.
I wanted to make some pictures but the wheater was dark and wet.
But late this afternoon a little sun was peaking between the clouds and I
hurried to make my pictures.

I just received some pretty bottles of Nubar yesterday so I tried one of
them immediately :-)
I tried Nubar Moon schadow.

Wauw gorgeous colors it has!!!! I fel in love right away ;-)
Its a very rich berry purple.
It has green and browns flahes in it. It really stunning.

It was difficult to photograph it.
Well I gave it my best shot in the little sun so take a look at it!!

This picture was taken indoors with flash!

I hope you've enjoyed it!
I wish you all a great coming weekend and hope too see you soon!!

Love from Holland........

Essence Go Snow

2010-01-28T02:09:00.001+01:00

Goodmorning everyone!

How's life! Here it's still very busy :-(
But I had to post a little thing today!
Last week I bought the new polishes from Essence : "Go Snow"
They look very cute in their sweet little bottles.
Very sweet pastelcolors they are!
Well as you can see on the pictures it became a mess :-)
I was a little bit impatient and put it on 3 times, then I quit :-(
I made a few pictures which were horrible too, so this was not a
great succes for me.
The finish is also not nice.
I had to put 4 layers on my nails and still it didn't covers.
It's a very frosty polish.
Anyway nothing for me though. Even the colors I didn't like on
my nails.
But I wanted to show them anyway.

They come in 3 shades:
01 Snow Bunny (soft pink)
02 Frostbite (soft lilac)
04 Alpine Snow (soft blue)

Number 3 is I suppose not availble in The Netherlands, no one can find it here!

You can admire this collection on the website of Essence

This was it again for now. I wish you all a very nice day and till next time.
Thank you all for watching again.

Morning sweet people,

A little post from the cold and freezy Netherlands.

I pimped my nails from the day before yesterday ;-)
I used a purple glittertop, a little konad and some bling.
I'm still no good at this unfortunately but I keep on trying.
Hope you like it!

Take care and enjoy your day!
See you next time :-)

Hello everybody!
How are you today?

I don't have much time this week so I this is a short post.
Because of my lack of time I have an old swatch.
It was one of the first photo's I took for publishing on my blog.
This was at the beginning of December 2009.
My nails were quite a bit shorter!

I used O.P.I. Pink before you leap.
I applied it on a layer of Miss Helen nr. 145.
The colors matched so great together.

Well look for yourself :-)
It looks a bit dull on the photo but IRL it looks pretty to me.

Thank you again for reading, commenting and stopping by on my blog!
Hopefully till soon............

Nicole by O.P.I. "Ego Alert"

2010-01-23T07:00:00.002+01:00

Hello everybody,

Today something from a while back.
This weekend I don't have much time for my blog so thats why this "oldie".
A few weeks ago we had a nail-meeting at Thess from The Nail Farm.
We had a really nice evening and saw a lot ...... really a lot of bottles
with all kinds of colors, al kind of brands etc.........
It was awesome :-)

Well Thess did everybody's nails that evening.

This is what she gave me on my nails!!!!!!!

This is Nicole by OPI and the name is Ego Alert.
Its a really duochrome and it looks so magnificent that I have stared for days at
my nails, turning them into te light and play with the lightning.
Awsome polish and color!!!!

Well I have to go now but maybe till some other time.
Take care!!

La Femme Beauty "The anonymous pink"

2010-01-22T04:00:00.004+01:00

Hi everyone, how are you doing today???

I was very busy the last days but made some time to post here.
Yesterday evening I looked to my polish collection and chose an pink polish.
I bought it some time ago. And it has no name :-( The brand is La Femme Beauty.
I had to put 3 layers of polish otherwise it didn't covers.
I personally like the color. Its a very sweet one.
Of course my collegues had to make all kind of comments :-)
Ahhh.....what ever :-) I asked them today, "you never like my colors, so please tell me what you do like!!!!!!!!"
You guessed it already :-( Their answer: Ehmmm I don't know .... ehmm maybe something reddish.....or silver.......etc" Men !!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha...............

Well it applied very easy this polish but it has some "chunks" in it.
I mean it isn't smooth after polishing.
I covered it with the OPI RapiDry but it still shows some bubbles :-(

Of course I tried some konad......

Well this was it again!
Thanks for stopping by again!

China Glaze Ruby Pumps "The red wizard of Oz"

2010-01-21T07:00:00.001+01:00

Goodmorning to you all!!!!
How are you today??
Already Thursday and almost weekend :-)

I know it's already in the past but last Christmas I wore Ruby Pumps from
China Glaze.

Wauw it's a stunning color and I fell in love with it right away. What awesome color!!!
I won't tell anything about it because I think everybody already did!
I think its a gorgeous color and it looks great!!

Thanks for watching again and take care!!!!

Herome "The green of Edinburgh"

2010-01-20T04:00:00.002+01:00

Goodmorning dear friends,

So after the candy-nails from yesterday today a more regular mani.
Lately I met so many green polishes over here (the blogs) that I've
tried the green stuff myself.
I bought it somewhile ago and never used it before.

It's Herome nr. 116 Edinburgh. It's a frosty polish and really difficult to
apply neat.
Again this polish was a little thick, just like the other Herome's I showed before.
But it has a nice radiance.
I must say it didn't look bad at all;-) Actually I like it.

Afterwards again some konad. I think old mani's are perfect to practise!
If it doesn't succeed the disappointment is a lot less :-)
I used konad-plate nr. M51.
As you can see it didn't go as well as last one :-(
I was struggling with the pattern and when I was dotting there were lot of thin
strips at my tool.
But anyway I let you see what it became.

Well this was all for now. Still I hope you like it!
I wish you all a really great day and till next time.

O.P.I. DS Jewel "A shimmer in the Dark"

2010-01-19T04:00:00.008+01:00

Hi sweet people,

How are you today?
Well it is already Tuesday and the week is going fast for me!!

Today I polished my nails with OPI DS Jewel. I have to say that I had a lot of problems applying it :-(
Maybe because I used a new basecoat, a OPI ridgefiller.
I cracked my thumbnail when I was twelve years old. It was between the door, the door was closed with my thumb between it. It never recovered and I have some rifles on my nail :-(
Thats why I tried the ridgefiller. Anyway I did it fast because lack of time :-(

I can not find the right word for the color.
It has some red flows but it also has something brownish or bordeaux by daylight I guess.

Maybe some of you can help me to define this color???

I tried also some konad but couldn't find the right color so I tried
white konad stamping polish. Again just for trying out.
I used plate 63.

Thanks again for looking over here! I really appreciate it :-)
Well this was all for today. Have a lovely day and I see you around.

A fun thing to do "Three generations hand in hand"

2010-01-18T04:00:00.002+01:00

Hi you all!!
I hope you all had a nice weekend!!!
And its nice to see you again here :-)

This time a mani, actually three mani's from about 6 weeks ago.
We were sitting over here, my mother, my daughter (Laquerized) and myself
thinking what fun we could do ;-)

Well see on the picture what we did, it seems to be nice to get us
captured in one photo with different laquers.
So as said so we did.
When we checked out my mothers stash I found a really beautiful Shiseido-polish.
So that was the one for her.
Beside that Michèle and I bought some new polishes including a
very beautiful Collistar and a Loreal.

My mother wears the Shiseido nr. A14 Pink Star.
A very creamy polish which applied very smoothly.
Micèle choose the Collistar nr. 43 Viola Glitter and it looked stunning on her.
You can't see it proper on the this photograph but it really was beautiful.
I went for the Loreal, it looked copper-red in the bottle but
in real it was so dark! Couldn't find red in it. Only by photographing it
you could see the color more clearer.
It has no name only a number: 734. (accidently I erased the print at
the front of the bottle when I cleaned it)

Well I hope you liked it!!
Well take care and have a great next week!!!
Hope to see you soon again :-)

O.P.I. We Always Have Paris making love to BeYu nr. 397

2010-01-17T06:00:00.002+01:00

Goodmorning this Sunday!

Hope you all are oke today! In the Netherlands
everything is fine!

For the past New Year's Eve I had a try-out mani.
As I mentioned earlier I like the Suedes from OPI
a lot. I tried "We always have Paris" (suede) and made a
little nailart and a french.
I am not very good at this but still practicing.
The french looked nice I thougt.

The color on the first photo is the most matching.

For this mani I used:
Basecoat: O.P.I. Natural nail base coat
For the basecolor: O.P.I. We always have Paris (suede)
For the french: BeYu number 397
For striping: Essence 02 Purple Boost and a kind of fuchsia color
from Claire's (no name)
For decoration: Essence nailart little purple starshaped strass
Topcoat: O.P.I. RapiDry

BeYu polish is a clear polish with glitters.
The color matched awesome with the OPI polish :-)
For striping the Essence striper really did a good job.
You can make thin stripes with it.
The one from Claire's made a rather wide stripe.
So I think you better can use your own brushes.
I like the long thin brushes the most.
As a decoration I used little purple stars from Essence.
They come in a lovely little box as a assortment.

It was all for trying and practicing ;-)
But it was a nice result for me.

I hope you liked it again!
Take care and till next time :-)

Herome "A trip to Nairobi and Monaco"

2010-01-16T08:01:00.010+01:00

Goodmorning everyone,

Hope you had a good night sleep last night!
I wish you all a very nicy and happy day!

For today I also looked in my magic box ;-)
I found something what was a test for me.
I didn't like the grey color but tried it anyway.
I must say that my husband was laughing at me.
He asked me "did you paint your nails with concrete paint!!!!".
And obviously he didn't liked it much.
The next morning when I came in at the office my colleques,
who are all men, had to have a look ofcourse!
They were laughing and asking me simular questions about
the color and they also didn't liked it.
At the office they judge my nails everytime when I
change it, by lack of women over there.
I'm really having fun with them :-)

Well this mani I made a while back.
It is W.I.C. by Herôme.
They have nice names and they remind you of a nice
vacation.
First I applied Herome Nairobi 123, its a creamy grey color
which is very shiny on your nails.
Applying was easy the first time, the second time it became
already gloppy :-(
I was quickly bored of it and made a french manicure with
Herome Monaco 125.
This is also a grey shade but it has a light glitter-shimmer,
I think.
It made the mani a little more alive.

Well this was all for today!
Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog and see you soon!!!

MAX Nails "The Purple Shimmer"

2010-01-15T13:37:00.007+01:00

Hi dear friends,

So I am of work now and have a little more time to spend on my blog!
I hope it's alright with you all!

Today also a mani from two weeks ago.
We (Michèle and I) were able to confiscate a lot of nailpolishes for
a very small price. This is one of them.
The brand is MAX Nails and the color is really purple :-)
It is a smooth polish and it stayed for a long time whitout any chipping.
I applied a basecoat from O.P.I. and two layers of polish.
With a topcoat finish from O.P.I. "RapiDry".

At a later moment I decided to use some Konad on it.
I used the Konad plate nr. M73 and for the stampingcolor I used
a silver polish from Gosh, Silver 555.
It's a regular nailpolish but it's fabulous for stamping!

I hope you like it and I would say till next time :-)
Take care everyone.

O.P.I. Lincoln Park After Dark "The Suede One"

2010-01-14T20:19:00.010+01:00

Good evening everyone!

Thanks for all your sweet comments at my post from yesterday!

Today a mani which I wore four weeks ago.
It was the first time that I choose for a suede polish.
This one is from O.P.I. and it is named "Lincoln Park After Dark".
It wasn't easy to apply it because it's a fast drying polish.
It appear to be a bit sandy. I put on two layers and I did not
use a topcoat on this beautiful polish.
It has such a nice shade and I think it looks like fabric on
your nails.
I am fond of it :-)
I definitely will wear suedes much often now.
Well this was all for now. I hope to see you soon and I
wish everyone a nice evening.
Till next time:-)

Thanks!

Hi dear friends,

This is my first post om my second blog-day ;-)

I want to say thank you all for your interest in my blog.
It was really nice to see so much followers after one single day!
Awesome!!!! And all the lovely responses, thanks!!

In special thanks to my daughter Michèle from Lacquerized
who helped me very much in any way.
Its really nice doing and sharing this nailpolish thing together with her.

I also want to thank my friends Thess from TheNailFarm,
Kirsten from The Dutch Nailblog, and Daph from Daph'Nails.
They were so sweet to mention my blog on their own blogs. :-)
Thanks dearies!!
I like doing this with you all!

Also a picture of my mani from today.
It's a very nice polish "Show your feet" from Essence.
It's meant for polishing your toe-nails but it is really good for a mani.
It's name is Deep Blue Sea (02) and it has a very deep inky color.
I like it very much. I like a little nailart too so I decorated them with
little hex called Diamond Glitter Blueberry from Nfu-Oh.
