American Manicure with Models Own

Hello dear readers,

Another gorgeous day over here.
Having this week of and having such great wheater.
Wow....that's really having luck!
My hubby is so busy working in our garden.
He is making a new fence in the back of our little
garden.
It looks great already and I'm so happy with it.
Finally some privacy over here when we are outside.
Yeahhhh!!

But how are you??
I hope you're all oke and having such nice wheater as we have over here.

Today a mani from a couple of days ago.
This is a American manicure.
The idea was from Lacquerized. and she picked the colors and did my mani.
For the white tip I used a white nailtip color from Elegant Touch Then a finish of Models Own, a soft pink one called Buff Pink.





For the tip I used two layers and 3 layers of Models Own.

This mani I used as a base for my contest/entry which you still can see at Glamorous Geek Chic





Well have a look at it.

Which manicure do you prefer? The French manicure or the American manicure?

Have a wonderfull day today and see you again.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my post.

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.

China Glaze "Admire on Awaken"

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"

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 :-)
