Black french tip with flower and studs

Hi there!

I just LOVE to do flower nail art designs. I think they are elegant, girly, beautiful, sweet.....do i need to continue? I think you get the point :) Flowers need to be bright, but this time i have chosen a dark background color. I think the flowers really pop . My friend Meliney send me some nice supplies to work with and to give away, how cool is that! She has her own webshop where she sells nail art supplies, stamping plates/polishes, brushes and a lot more.
She send me some detailbrushes, a wheel with different studs, a rhinestone picker pencil and some stickers.
This is the design i made with all the supplies (except for the stickers, i haven't used them)

 

 

At this moment i'm having the giveaway on my channel. I'm giving away the things i've used for my nail art design. Feel free to participate :)

 

Thank you and untill next time :)

Sunbeams

Hi Lovely's!

So i had an epic fail with my laptop and camera!
I, of course, filmed the whole process of creating my sunbeam nails. I wanted to place it on my laptop, but he didn't recognise the disc. Checking on my camera again.....i'm missing a whole part of the film! Grrrrrr! I can get soooo angry when that happens!!
Anyway, i still wanted to share this with you guys, so i made a picture slideshow. (you can watch the tutorial here) Before i'll let you know how i did it, let me show you the result :)

If you want to see how i did this, read more after the jump...

Essie "Marabou"

Hello you all!

Since i started to read a few blogs with swatches i came across some bloggers who showed a polish of Essie. Most of them were very possitive about this brand. They find the colors opaque, smooth applying, just a "perfect" polish. Since i don't know where to buy Essie in the stores in The Netherlands i decided to ask my friend Jae from the USA to send me an Essie in our swap. I saw this beautiful color "Marabou". It's a pink polish with a subtle coral teint in it in my opinion. I'd asked her to send me that one in particulair and she did. Yay!!
Am i just as excited as the girls who's blogs i've read?


Uhhmm, no!
Let's start with the possitive thing. The color is BEAUTIFUL! I really love it!
When i started applying the first thing i saw the polish was quite thin. I prefer a bit thicker substance. The brush was pretty small which i didn't like much either. The first coat was very stricky, and the second was too. Eventually i needed 3 coats and some of my nails still weren't opaque. Well, just take a look at the pictures...

You can see my pointer finger has some "clear" spots after 3 coats.

Again....the color i like very much ♥

I thought this is the perfect color to make an elegant spring design with.

What do you think of this design?

Thank you for your time!

Untill soon!! xoxo

Half one stroke flower

Hi guys!

I'm soooo jealous of the people who can do a perfect one stroke flower. Well, jealous may be not the right word, but i do envy them a lot! I wish i could do that, but...i'll keep practicing.
So last week i made my first franken, a pink holographic polish, which you can find HERE , but i wanted to make a nailart design on top. I decided to give my one stroke another try! I thought i'd go for a pink and blue combo, and you know what, it turned out pretty nice if i may say so myself. Well, i let you judge for yourself....

And? What do you think? What i used is my franken holo polish as my basecolor. I used a pink acrylic paint from Folkart and a blue i bought at a local DIY shop (Kwantum). I also used some big glitters which i loveee so much! Topcoat: Seche Vite. To see the step by step video click HERE

Ok, so for a comparison to see  if my one stroke skills got any better, i have a picture of my first one stroke flower...

I think i got a bit better, but i know it's still far from perfect.

Thanks for stopping by!

Chained!

Hi guys!

Happy monday!
I didn't have much time to do a really fancy manicure. I wanted to do a simple one.
A while ago i saw a picture (don't know who it was from) and it was a stamped design of some chains. I don't have many stamping plates at all, because i prefer doing it all freehand. So i decided to do this look without stamping.
I started off with a basecoat (of course). I used China Glaze basecoat. I recently bought this and i can say, i'm not disapointed. Normally i used OPI Natural Nails basecoat, but i think they are equal in my opinion. Anyway, after that i used NYC black, 2 coats. When it was dry i made some oval rounds with my silver acrylic paint (bought at Xenos) and connected them with a little tiny stripe. When this was dry i took my black acrylic paint (Folkart) and made some openings in some links of the chain. I finished the design with my matte topcoat (Hema).

My last valentine mani

Hi guys!

Today i will show you my last valentine manicure. I'm not saying i won't do any designs without hearts orso, but this is for the girls who would like to have some cute nails on the 14th of february!
The design is easy to do.
I started with a sheer pink nailpolish. Then i mixed a dark pink acrylic paint with white acrylic paint, and i made a french tip. With the dark pink i made some stripes on the tip. Then i added a shimmer/glitter polish on the tip for a soft shimmer on it. With my Catrice polish from their new colors "The pinky and the brain", i made a heart. Next to the heart i added some big gold glitters, and i finished it with my favorite topcoat Seche Vite.
What do you think of it?

If you would like to do this yourself, check out THIS video.

This will show you step by step how you can archive this cute V-day design!

Happy monday and i talk to you all soon!

Valentine

Hi you all!

Today i want to share my valentine mani with you all.
I didn't had much inspiration today untill i saw my essence circus circus! A new mani was born!
So, this is how it turned out....

The polish i used is, as i said before, from Essence. It's from the limited edition Circus circus and it's called Cotton Candy.

It's a pink/fuchsia polish and on the other side it's a glitter polish.

Believe it or not, but i used only one coat for full coverage!

When this was dry is applyed the glitter polish with a cosmetic sponge.

Lastly some hearts with pink acrylic paint and done!!

I hope you like this simple but cute valentine design!

Talk to you soon♥

Friday i'm in love! "Airbrushed hearts without airbrushing"

Hi guys!

Another great collaboration on YouTube! The first one was "Let it snow" and now i participated in "Friday i'm in love". There are posted so many great video's, you just feel the love. It's good to come together and do what we all like!
I was thinking most of the designs will contain hearts, so i wanted to be original. I made airbrushed looking hearts. I think they turned out pretty ok. It's a simple design and doesn't take much time.
Just take a look at the video and tell me what you think ;-)
Happy friday!!

Nailart: Abstract in Matte

Mavala Lagoon 153

My next Mavala swatch is Lagoon (153). I applied 2 coats, and it's without a topcoat because i've added some waterdecals and nailart on top. It's really a beautiful color. It's a seagreen color.

After polishing my nails i've used some waterdecals. These are from Bornprettystore.com. These were send to me for review purposes. The waterdecals are sooo cool! It's really easy to use and apply them. Feel free to check out their website. And if you order anything, don't forget to use my discount code:

Mavala Swatch and New year design

Hi guys!

Recently i've bought 4 Mavala polishes.
I'm going to post a swatch of all 4, but i'm starting with the first. It's called New Dehli, nr. 92. It's a beautiful dark, intense red. I was looking for such a polish for a while. After i swatched it, i made a New Years Eve design. When i was ready it reminded me of a Chinese pattern, so, there were my Chinese New Year Nails ;-)

Mavala New Dehli nr. 92

  

I used gold acrylic paint to make the patterns on the nail.
On top Essence special effect topper (gold) and finished with my favorite topcoat Seche Vite.
