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 :-)

Herôme "Dublin Soft and Sweet"

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.

China Glaze Devotion topped with Fairy Dust

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"

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!!!

China Glaze Millennium

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........
