I took this photo ages ago after I bought the Holland Collection and just realized that I never did get around to blogging it! The color is called Red Lights Ahead… Where? which is one of the colors that can be found in the box of minis.   That’s why I’m holding the Seche Vite bottle rather than the actual color …

When I heard that OPI was releasing a Holland Collection, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.  Of course, this left me with the dilemma on whether I was going to try to swap someone in the states for them or dish out the ridiculous prices you pay for them here IN HOLLAND (we should get a discount …

Remember how I was saying I wanted to see how Forget Me Not by Catrice would look stamped and shattered and with topcoats etc.  Well, I couldn’t stop myself! Here is that fabulous color on its own… *Sigh*  Seriously, does it get better?  I guess it does, if you don’t totally love purple, but then you are crazy and your …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Recently a friend of mine found out that she has breast cancer.  This is something that has struck far too close far too many times for me.  She has been a real trooper though and her strength and optimism is inspiring.  She has been blogging about her experience and it’s quite an interesting read.  In fact, I find myself wishing …

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 …

On Saturday my best friend and I took advantage of the beautiful weather here in the Netherlands, and headed into the city center of Rotterdam to do some shopping.  While checking out the polish available in Kruidvat we came across a stand selling 2True bottles for 3 for 5 Euro!  These are the colors I chose. When I saw the …

Anyone who knew me before I started messing around with nails would whoop out with laughter if they saw this.  I was always the least ‘girlie’ person in my group of friends and wearing a skirt was out of the question, which meant that pink nailpolish and SPARKLES was not even within the realm of possibility. Yet, here it is!  …

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 …
