Nubar "Peacock Feathers one more time"

<

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"



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"



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.

Konad "Nubar and China Glaze love each other"



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.
