What’s a girl to do when she has a great Glitter Skittles Mani and she knows it will need to be removed shortly? Mattify that sucker!! I think they all look pretty cool with the matte finish, which is funny considering until not that long ago I wasn’t a fan of any matte at all.  Since I got the Essence …

After testing out my new Miss Cop glitter that I bought at the market, I wanted to see what it looked like on a black base.  As I was getting everything out I realized I had other new glitters that I haven’t tried yet, and some I’d like to compare.  That’s when it hit me… glitter skittle!!  Well, nine glitter …

A few weekends ago I visited our open market in the city center.  I noticed a lady selling Miss Cop nail polish for €3 per bottle, so I browsed through them.  I decided to buy two and see how I like them and if I did maybe one day I’d pop by and pick up some more.  I’m not sure …

No, not that kind of French, that was with a kid named Aaron about 20 years ago.  I mean a French manicure! After my massive staining from a previous manicure, and using a lot of dark polishes lately, I felt like something a bit more fresh and natural looking.  I tried absolutely everything to get those stains off, lemon juice, …

Also… why did you just come along when I won’t be needing you for very long? I admit it, tonight I ate at McDonald’s.  I know I just moaned the other day about my weight but I did say that it might not be today that I sort my shit out. One thing I have to say, when you don’t …

One of the things on my growing list of things I don’t like about our flat is that we are overlooked by the big building across from us.  I love having such beautifully large windows, but man those oldies are such lookie loos! Another thing that always bothered me was our window washer that always showed up at random times.  …

Last month I wrote an update on what the current situation is in regards to the fertility treatments.  In short, I have had six rounds of IUI (artificial insemination) with no luck, now I need to take a break to lose a further 15-20 kilos before we can start treatments again. I was a bit worried about how it was …

One problem I’ve been having since I started my little nail habit, is somewhere to store the polish and all the accessories.  Up until a little while ago, this is what it looked like in my living room. In our small two bedroom flat, with my husband using the spare room for his Lego Habit, I didn’t really have any …

The weather here in the Netherlands has been rather dreary for the last while, and last week my husband deserted me for a few days in London… so it wasn’t hard to find motivation for my latest manicure. My rainy day manicure… perfect for the dark and depressing weather we’ve had over the last while, and suiting to my mood …

We are still taking Pixel and Bailey to the dog park pretty regularly.  Pixel is never a problem but we continue to be somewhat anxious when it comes to Bailey and his aggressive attitude towards other male dogs. You can imagine how worried we were the first time these two entered the park. They are brothers and their names are …
