It's The Christmas Season!

Hi all!

It's December, which means that it's almost Christmas! I don't know about you, but Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. Last year, I didn't really do Christmas manicures, but I decided to do a couple this year, and this is the first one!


Two coats of H&M Love At First Sight as a base, stamped with China Glaze Ruby Pumps and imageplate M12. Imageplate M12 is the Christmas Konad stamping plate and I love it for this season. It holds a Santa, clocks, candycanes, 'Merry Christmas!" and more. We don't really have Candycanes much here, but I really like the look of them and they always make me think of Christmas..


I put a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust over it to make it sort of like a snow feel, and I think it turned out pretty nicely! Ruby Pumps is great for stamping, only the color is a bit less intense (which is only logical, since the polish is only one coat).


I like this so much that I might even wear this for Christmas! I'm still undecided, so I guess anything can happen ;)

Are you doing Christmas manicures this month?

PS: Voor al mijn Nederlandse lezers, fijne Sinterklaas vandaag! Niet te veel pepernootjes he ;)

Dress Like A Chick For Halloween!

Hi all,

I let my sister pick what to post today and since she thought chicks were cute.. Chicks it is. It feels very easter-y to me but it looks so damn cute and I couldn't help myself! I assume you can dress up like a chick for Halloween, so chicks on the nails must be fine as well :P


Chick nails! Ain't that cute? *giggles*. I used Hard Candy Splendid as a base and H&M Love At First Sight for the eggshells and the eyes. I used Wet n Wild Black Creme for the eyes and finished the chicks by giving them beaks with China Glaze Breakin'. They turned out pretty nice!


They would do great as easter nails as well, so I think you'll be seeing a variation on this creation somewhere near Easter next year too :)

What are you gonna dress up like for Halloween?

Pink Ribbon Nails

Hi all,

As you might know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and in this month, there is more attention for this decease. I want to let you know that I don't think that all other illnesses are less important or whatever, so it sometimes makes me a little bit.. Uneasy? (that's the word I guess) that there's a whole month of full attention going towards breast cancer while there are so many deceases and illnesses out there. I do want to point out that I like the initiative of Pink Ribbon has put out to make everyone aware of breast cancer, so that's why I've decided to do Pink Ribbon nails.


I used H&M Love At First Sight as a base and I used Konad stamping polish in pink (I guess, there's no name on my bottle!) for the ribbon and my accentnail. It's a bit thick but it made the perfect pink for this manicure, at least that's what I think.


I freenhanded the ribbon with a nailart brush, so it's not flawless haha.

Have you done something for Breast Cancer Awareness month or are you planning on doing so?

Favorite White Creme

Hi all!

Today I have my favorite white creme for you. I never intended to swatch it alone, since most people around here just think it looks 'odd' (like you painted your nails with correction fluid) but I think white nails look awesome.

I have to admit that I use this mostly as a base for Konad though! It's my go to polish when I need a white creme.

H&M Love At First Sight, two coats in indirect daylight. The perfect white creme, imo - it's opaque in two coats. I have to admit that it tends to get thick after a while, but that's fixed with a few drops of thinner.

What's your favorite white creme? Do you wear it alone, or only as a base for nailart?

Lace Illusion

Hi all!

While browsing, I stumbled on a design on the Orly website. It's called 'animal' - although I don't know where the animal reference comes from - and it can be found here. I decided to copy the idea with a couple of changes :) Let's take a look!

I used H&M Love At First Sight as a base, which is opaque in two coats. I randomly placed black scribbles with China Glaze Ink (I need to get myself a bottle of black creme.. Grr) and scribbled a little more with RBL Stormy. In the original design, lace was places on top of the scribbly look, but since I don't have any lace to put on my nails, I decided to go with Konad imageplate M57. I stamped the image with Konad special polish in Black Pearl and voila!

I really love the look of this and I think I will do this again to wear it as a full manicure. Maybe I can even try this with slightly different colors, but I think you'd better not go with colors that are too bright..

What do you think of this lace illusion manicure?

Thanks for stopping by!

Paint Splatters Everywhere

Hi all!

Today I have something for you that I LOVE so much that I can't make myself to take it off.

Two coats of H&M Love At First Sight, a white creme, stamped with China Glaze Joy, Harmony, Cherish and Adore with Konad imageplate M21. The Romantiques are awesome for stamping and their contrast with the white base is great. I stamped the splatters randomly on my nails, trying to do a variety in colors on my nails.

The Romantiques are really colorful and the combination of these with Love At First Sight makes me stare at my hands all the time. I feel a bit silly about this haha.

What do you think of this Konadicure?

Thanks for stopping by!

H&M Meet Mrs Perfect

Hi all!

Today I have a polish from H&M for you; Meet Mrs Perfect. I don't think the name is fitting, but that's my opinion. On to the pics!


H&M Meet Mrs Perfect, three coats in daylight - no direct light though. Meet Mr Perfect is a relatively dark pink that leans to magenta. It has a unusual finish; it's not entirely frosty and I can see a pearl finish as well as some very subtle shimmer. It's one of my weak spots, pink. But it turns out, I don't like this color! It's missing something, but I have no idea what. Application was ok, although the formula was a little too watery for my liking. Drying time was ok as well. I expected more of this polish when I bought it. Too bad, but you can't have everything, right?

I want to wish you all a very happy Easter and a lovely weekend as well. I won't be able to post tomorrow, so I'll be most likely to update again on monday. I hope to see you all again then!

Thanks for stopping by!

H&M Sinful Señorita

Hi all!

Is iedereen blij dat het bijna weekend is? Vandaag heb ik een lak van H&M voor jullie: Sinful Señorita!

Is everyone glad that it's almost weekend? Today I have one of the H&M polishes for you: Sinful Señorita!



H&M Sinful Señorita, twee laagjes in zonlicht. Sinful Señorita is een donkerroze lak met holografische glitter. Dit is geen echte holo, dat wil zeggen met regenboogeffect, maar zonlicht doet haar zeker stralen. Applicatie was prima en ze was dekkend in twee laagjes. Net als de meeste lakken met holografische glitters en/of effect, is ze snel droog. Wat mij betreft een goede lak van H&M!

H&M Sinful Señorita, two coats in daylight. Sinful Señorita is a dark pink polish with holographic (or prismatic) glitter. No true holo effect, like with the Nfu Oh's or China Glaze OMG collection in the shape of a rainbow on the nails, but the sun truly lets this polish shine. Application was good and she was opaque in two coats. Like most polish with holographic glitter and/or effect, she dries quickly. Good quality polish in my opinion!


Jullie kennen mij inmiddels langer dan vandaag, wat zijn gelakte nagels nou zonder een beetje Konad?

You've known me for a while now, so what's a pretty mani without a little Konad?


Stamped with China Glaze Millennium and imageplate M25. I like this look a lot! Let's take a closer look at the stamps..


I think it's pretty! The colors work well together and it's not too much.

Well, that's it for today! I have plenty of stuff planned to show you in the next couple of days! We're having a lot of birthdays so I won't be around much answering your comments and emails, but I will make sure I will get a new post up on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I will post details about my first giveaway on Saturday, so stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by!
