Nails

… want to go wee wee wee wee alllll the way back to the south of France! I don’t know what it’s like where all of you are at the moment, but here in the Netherlands the weather has been totally dreary all summer long.  If it weren’t for our holiday in the south of France in early July, my …

After seeing people talking about it everywhere, I really wanted to try the dry marble method on my nails.  If you aren’t familiar with how it works, here’s a tutorial. Looks easy, right?  Omg, it’s so not!!  Well, it is… but it isn’t.  What I mean is, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be, and …

After slowly working through my polishes from my big swap I finally tried Sinful Colors Green Ocean.  I  used a base layer of Essence Multi Dimension XXL Shine Fatal and one good coat of the Green Ocean over top. My first impression?  “OoooOOoooOOoh!”.  Being me, I just love everything glitter, flakie, etc so it goes without saying that I just …

The PAA Monday Nail Art Challenge for this week was Galaxy Nails!! Oh I was so excited about this one because I wanted to try this for so long! I have never done sponging before and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get the effect I wanted but I think it worked out pretty well! This is also often …

I love black… I love purple… I love glitter.  OMG I LOVE BLACK PURPLE AND GLITTER!!  When it comes to me and polish, I’m not sure it gets any better than Wet n Wild Wild Shine Night Prowl!  I’m in love! It goes on smooth and evenly, it takes two coats (or one if you put it on thick enough) …

I’m a bit behind on updating my entries for PAA’S Monday Nail Art Challenge, not that I haven’t been doing them, I have… I’ve just gotten behind on my photo editing.  I had to replace my laptop recently and one of the main problems with my old one was that I couldn’t edit more than one or two photos before …

After trying out the High Def with Silver Shatter I wanted to do something with a crackle polish that had a bit more oomph to it.   My husband and I have been playing a little World of Warcraft recently and I thought, hey… why not make some lava nails! Here’s a photo for those of you who have never played.  …

Just after I got back from my holiday I got nail mail from my friend Kati. We had planned to swap some polish the next time we met up, but with both our holidays our paths never seemed to cross.  The sneaky devil stuck my polish in an envelope and mailed it!  I was so excited to get this unexpected …

This is a post that was originally written for Canadutch, my personal blog. Seeing as it pertains to nails, I thought I would copy it here as well, as I think some of you will get a kick out of it! Last week my friend Penny and I got together for pedicures.  It was my very first pedicure ever, can …

A few months ago I was contacted by Caroline from Shadow’s Nail Art about doing a swap.  I’d never done this before and was a little nervous at first as I didn’t know her or any of the other girls in the nails community.  The thought of buying a load of stuff and sending it off to a stranger felt …

It’s been a while since I’ve taken part in PAA’s Monday Nail Art Challenge as I was away on Holiday and then bummed about how my nails were ravaged by camping. Now I’m back though and just in time for one of my favorite themes – taping!! This theme was largely inspired by Jane over at Nailside, who is the …
