Essence Show your feet "Dashing with Flashy Pink"

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

Playdate with the girls and the polishes :-) and Milani Hi-Tech holo

Hi guys........

How are you doing?

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.








Thanks for visiting again and watching!
Have a nice evening/day and till next time.

American Apparel "The Mouse in Pied de Poule"

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.

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

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.
