Catrice Poison me Poison you "Poisoned with Purple"



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.

China Glaze "Strawberry Fields"



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".

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!!!

Models Own Peacock Green "The Lovely Green"



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.

Herome "A trip to Nairobi and Monaco"

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!!!
