Since I started messing around with my nails I’ve seen a lot of people doing the reverse french method, which is basically putting a semi circle at the base of the nail rather than putting the color across the tip.  There are a number of methods for doing this, the most popular using paper hole stickers like in this tutorial …

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 …

A while back I joined a group on Facebook called Polish-aholics Anonymous, which was created by Traci from The Trace Face Philes.  It’s basically a group of women who love polish and nail art who came together to share their obsession.  It’s a great place to chat about nails if that’s what you are into and what I like most …

The other day I wanted to try something cool with some Lego stickers my husband had.  I was going to paint my nails white and add the stickers to the nail and put a topcoat over, it was all very cool in my head.  It didn’t work out quite as I had hoped… The stickers were a little too thick, …

A while back I saw some Cherry Blossom Nail art by Kayla Shevonne, and I loved it!  I may have pestered her a bit asking for a tutorial and last week she totally came through!  She made it look so easy, but she is an evil trickster! I tried twice and mine didn’t look nearly as good as hers. I’m …

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, …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
