Nails

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, …

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 …

Remember how much I loved WnW Teal of Fortune?  Well, I wasn’t loving it so much after I removed it! YIKES!! I have never had staining like that before.  Granted, I forgot to use a basecoat because I quickly painted my nails before leaving to go out, but jeeez.. I’m going to have to scrub my nails with some kind …

The other day I saw this post over on Colores de Carol about a newspaper manicure. I kept that tab open for days because I wanted to do it and knew if I closed the window I’d forget! I had just gotten the same polish she used (Catrice Snow Motion) not that long ago so I knew I had everything …

After my MEHni the other day, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my nails.  Luckily I didn’t get too long to think about it.  A friend contacted me to ask if my husband and I wanted to go to their place for a games night and after a busy day I realized I didn’t have long to …

Yesterday after spending the night before cleaning my turtle tanks, my poor butteryfly mani was chipped to bits, so it was time to do something new.  I wasn’t sure what I wanted but I thought I’d try something light and pretty using one of the gifts I got for my Birthday. I chose WnW Wild Card and thought it would …

I saw something I LOVED yesterday when I was looking through some blogs.  I found a random post on Kronicles of a Konad-er with a design for butterfly wings that she initially found on Lacquerized.  I was immediately in love!  I thought I’d try it someday when I have more nail art paint and when my nails are a bit …

Stop the world, I wanna get off!!  I am so incredibly confused right now. Remember my rant about stamping not working? Then how I got a Konad set for my birthday? … and how excited I got when the Konad stamping worked? Well today I saw this post over at Mirannie’s Nails and once again I was wondering why other …

PTOEY! *Spits* Suck it, Essence Stampy Set!  I got me some Konad now and I’m never turning back! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! I stamped, I actually STAMPED! If you are new here and are wondering what all the fuss is about, stamping has been a bit of an issue for me.  The first …
