Today is my birthday and boy oh boy do my peeps know what I like!  Especially my husband!  He really threw me for a loop today as he got me the absolute best present I could have ever asked for.  Not only is it something I love, but it’s not something I’d hinted at or even put on a list… …

I saw Julia on top of Chuck! True story!  Please don’t tell Blair either, you know what she can be like. At the Kruidvat 50% off sale, I tried to snatch up as many of the Essence Nail Twins as I could.  I ended up not getting a single pair but I did manage to get these two. Chuck, the …

Kruidvat had a great sale on last weekend, 50% off all makeup. Omg!  I got over 20 bottles of polish for less than 20 euro, I was in heaven!  All this sunny weather and trees blossoming made me want to do something with more spring colors, since I often tend to stick to darker colors.  I wanted to do something …

A few weeks ago I was in Claire’s looking at the polish and came across this glitter polish with such lovely big stars mixed in.  Without even thinking I snatched it up and ran for the register.  I couldn’t wait to get home and try it!  My memory totally failed me that day because I had bought this kind of …

Ok well if you’ve been reading up until now you’ve probably heard me complain about stamping more than once.  I have the Essence stampy set and image plates and my problem has been that for some reason I’ve always been able to get the smaller designs done just fine, like in this photo: Ok, whatever.. no problem. I got the …

It’s Queen’s Day in the Netherlands today!  The sun is shining and I’m sure there are a lot of people dressed in orange partying it up all over the country.  So of course a Queen’s Day Manicure is in order! You are probably wondering why the Dutch flag looks upside down but I figured it was best to have it …

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!  Here in the Netherlands we had a four day weekend and it was HOT!  Reaching temperatures over 25 degrees every day.  I spent a lot of time here: Out on my balcony, that I wish was bigger but hey at least I have one!  It gets SO hot out there in the …

After a really stressful time my husband wanted to cheer me up a bit.  He’d recently seen me drooling over some Nfu Oh polishes online and decided to order some for me as a surprise! He got me Nfu Oh 40 and 68 and I was soooo excited!!  He knew that I like all things sparkly and that purple is …

I’m not sure what you call this kind of polish, to be honest.  It’s a sort of multicolored polish that looks different when you look at it at different angles and in different light.  I’ve seen people talking about “holos” and I wonder if that’s what this is.  I’m not entirely sure though.  So for now I’ll call it the …

If I’ve ever posted on one of your entries about Matte polish you probably know that I’ve not been a big fan.  Recently I’ve been starting to like it more as I see other people doing interesting things with it.  I think I always thought that the more glossy a polish is the nicer it is. Oh hell, I still …

Last week I was in town with a friend and went to Claire’s to see if they had the Mood Polish, but apparently it’s not available in the Netherlands. BOOOO!!  Instead I picked up a few other bottles… one of which is the above red glitter.  I thought it would look nice with the black polish I’d bought there previously.  …
