:-D lol For those of you not in the know, today's nails are Domo, or Domo-kun nails. Domo is the mascot of a Japanese television station, and has also been shown in a few short animations on Nickelodeon, in Target's Halloween decor, and most recently on the coffee cups, etc. at 7-11. He is described as 'a strange creature that hatched from an egg'. I just think he's cute. :-P I decided to paint him on my nails after seeing a Domo stuffed doll on my co-worker Kevin's desk. :)
I used Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme as a base, Sally Hansen All the White Stuff for the teeth and eye highlights, China Glaze Salsa for the mouth, and Zoya Raven for the eyes. Topped it off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
Fun fact: Domo is known to fart repeatedly when nervous or upset. :-P
*toot*
And a treat for my non-Twitter followers...
I found the surprise in the nail polish packaging!! (I think I'll stop buying nail polish from the Dollar Tree now)
Your eyes do not deceive you, that IS in fact a broken fingernail INSIDE the packaging. The irony? It was for a strengthening polish!!
I'm contemplating contacting the company and asking if anyone is missing their nail and would like it back. :-D

My take on V-day
Hier is mijn probleem: Ik kan best schattige nagels maken en ik draag ook heus wel eens roze nagellak maar roze én schattig? Dat past gewoon niet bij mij.
Vandaar dat ik dus gegaan ben voor een minder voor de hand liggende nagellak: China Glaze For Audrey.
Here's the thing: I can make cute nails and I do wear pink every once in a while but pink ánd cute? That's just not me. So I went for a less obvious polish: China Glaze For Audrey.
Dit is gestempeld met Konad Special Polish in Pastel Blue en Pastel Violet en plate M59 en die zijn allemaal te koop bij Enchantra met 15% korting met de code DTCHNLBLG voor elke Europese klant!
This is stamped with Konad Special Polish in Pastel Blue and Pastel Violet and plate M59 and all of that is for sale at a 15% discount at Enchantra with the code DTCHGNLBLG for every European customer!
Dit is toch ook leuk en lief en schattig? Wat ga jij doen met Valentijnsdag?
This is nice and sweet and cute too right? What are you going to do for Valentines Day?

Pink Holo!
Het heeft hier weer de hele dag gesneeuwt. Heerlijk! Ik had dus mooi de tijd om wat swatches te doen. Dit is Art de Lautrec #13B. Een mooie roze met subtiel holo effect.
It has been snowing here all day. Great! This gave me the perfect opportunity to do some swatches. This is Art de Laurtec #13B. A nice pink with a subtle holo effect.
Dit is drie laagjes zonder topcoat omdat topcoat vaak het holo effect verminderd. De formule is een beetje vergelijkbaar met de China Glaze Kaleidoscope holo's maar iets minder korrelig.
This is three coats without a topcoat because topcoat can effect the holo. The formula is comparable to the China Glaze Kaleidoscopes but a little less gritty.
Art de Lautrec is in Nederland te koop bij Alice And Jo's Havesentials.
Thanks for looking!
