Racy Lacy

Day 97

Guten tag, people! :-P

I decided for today's nails, I would jump on the lace nail bandwagon, and give it a whirl. Let me tell you, it's HARD. It's also VERY uncomfortable, because the edges are really rough. This would probably work best on artificial nails, were you could get the fit a lot better and all that jazz. I dunno, from a foot or more away they look kinda rad, but they're definitely not for up close viewing... at least not mine, anyway. It took forever though, so I decided to post it :-P



I used American Apparel Palm Springs as a base for all nails except the ring finger, where I used China Glaze Salsa. The lace was just some cheap lace edging I got at Wal-mart. Topped it off with 3 or so coats of Seche Vite top coat... I dunno, I lost count.

I dunno, all in all, not my favorite, but they can't all be winners. :-D

BB Couture for Haïti!

Dit is geweldig! I wou dat ik de mogelijkheid had om de hele set te kopen maar helaas is dat op het moment niet het geval. :(
Wil jij nog wel wat nagellak of BB Couture in het bijzonder kopen, denk dan ook even aan deze set en help Haïti!

English: I think this is great! I wish I had the funds to buy the full set but unfortunately I don't right now. :(
Are you thinking about buying polish or BB Couture in particular then please remember this set and help Haïti!

From The Vault: Sheet Music!

Een oudje vandaag want ik kreeg BB Couture Ravager niet mooi op de foto in mijn lightbox en er is absoluut geen zon vandaag.

English: An oldie today because I couldn't get BB Couture Ravager to photograph nicely in my lightbox and there is absolutely no sun today.




Eerst heb ik mijn nagels gelakt met een witte Kiss nagellak waarvan ik de naam niet meer weet.

English: First I polished my nails with a white Kiss polish that I can't remember the name of.




Daarna ik gestempeld heb met Konad Special Polish Zwart en plate M73, heb een topcoat opgedaan en om het af te maken een laagje China Glaze Matte Magic om het meer op papier te laten lijken.
Ik ben er wel blij mee! Jammer van dat vieze haartje op de foto. :')

English: Then I stamped with Konad Special Polish Black and plate M73, applied a topcoat and finished with a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic to make it look more paper-like.
I like this one! If only there wasn't this nasty little hair in the pic. :')



Bedankt voor het kijken! Ik zal binnenkort de andere BB Coutures laten zien.

English: Thanks for looking! I'll be back with more BB Couture soon!
