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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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.  …

As I expected, it wasn’t long before I got into the magnetic polish.  It didn’t turn out too bad for my first try! It was quite difficult to do because the process is that you paint your nail, slip the magnet on your finger on the other hand and hold your freshly painted finger up against it.  Sounds easy enough, …

Today I was out running some errands and had to pop into Etos and Kruidvat to peek at their polishes.  I picked up a few Essence products to try them out. The tip guides seemed to work pretty well, except I acted like a big cheapo and tried to use the same one again and again which lead to things …

It’s so fun, what you can create with something as simple as a few pieces of scotch tape! It didn’t come out quite as neatly as I would like but it will do for a few days.  The blue polish is Miss Sporty from Etos, and I’m not a fan at all. The brush is an odd wide but crooked …

After seeing this on Nailside I tried the taping technique to get this laser look on my nails. I loved it! Such an easy way to get something so different! The only thing I would have changed was using flat black rather than a black with some sparkle to it. It would have made the red stand out more, I …
