Surprisingly Orange Nail Art

Hello my Sweet Nail-art lovers.
I am not kidding today calling this design "Surprisingly" Orange.
Originally flowers were painted in red and white, but after i put on the top coat white paint turned yellow. That was super wired, it nether happened before with this paint. And i used different top coats, so it was not a top coat issue.So wile color changing is a misery, i think i even like it better this way. I really like the design, and looks really bright and summer like.



YOU KNOW YOU ARE A BLOGSTAR!

I definitely go through different phases with the nail art. On these four sets of nails I went a little crazy with the nail polish and striping brush. A little polish can always take a design to the next level.




I bought some "sugar coating" glitter in pink, blue, yellow and purple from the craft store and mixed it together with clear acrylic to create this look. I added dried flowers to every finger for some spring time fun.

On these nails I faded two colors from sparklesnailproducts.com. I added clay flowers on the ring fingers and finished with my signature dots.

This is impression nail art with spring colors.

I added orange and yellow mylar on these nails to make them super sparkly!

I Ain't No Ho-Ho!


:-D ok, I'll admit, today's title cracks me up. I'm SUCH a dork.

The inspiration for today's nails came a few months ago via email from Niki C., of Polish on Digital Paper fame, and while I've gotten inspiration from other designs people have sent in before, (with permission, of course ;)) I usually don't copy them stroke for stroke... These however, were too awesome not to, I loved their quirky simplicity. Thanks Niki, you rock! :)



I used MAC Showy as a base (can't find it for sale), then used my white Migi Nail Art Pen for the frosting swirl. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat to simulate the tasty glossy chocolate frosting. Oh damn, I know what I'm going to buy at lunch. *drool*

Anybody got any milk?!

Giveaway Winner!

Hoi allemaal, ik weet dat ik al te lang afwezig ben maar ik kon dit niet te lang laten duren. Als eerste allemaal bedankt voor het meedoen! Ik vond het erg leuk om een giveaway te hosten dus ik ben zeker van plan om dit in de toekomst vaker te gaan doen.

Daarnaast wil ik natuurlijk ook Enchantra bedanken voor het sponsoren van deze giveaway en voor het aanbieden van de 15% kortingscode DTCHNLBLG in hun webwinkel.

Hi all, I know I've been absent for way too long but I couldn't let this stretch out too long. First of all a big thank you to everyone who entered! I liked hosting a giveaway so I definitely plan on doing more of these in the future.

Second I would like to thank Enchantra for sponsoring this giveaway and for offering a 15% discount in their webshop to my readers with the code DTCHNLBLG.

Ik heb alle inschrijvingen geteld en ben toen terug gegaan om het aantal tweede inschrijvingen te tellen en heb die allemaal op een lijst gezet. Ik heb het op deze manier gedaan om ieders kansen om te winnen te spreiden. Als je twee inschrijvingen had omdat je over de giveaway geblogd, getwitterd of op een andere manier aangekondigd hebt en mij dit hebt laten weten zijn je inschrijvingen niet als opeenvolgende nummers geteld maar bijvoorbeeld als #1 en #78.

I've counted all the entries and then went back to count the number of second entries and listed all those. I did it this way to spread the chances of winning for everyone. If you had two entries because you blogged, tweeted or announced my giveaway in any way, shape or form and let me know about it your entries would not be following numbers but for instance be numbered #1 and #78.

Daarna heb ik www.random.org gebruikt om te beslissen wie de winnaar zou zijn en het winnende nummer is:

Then I used www.random.org to decide who the winner would be and the lucky number is:

"Too bad, I won't have the balls to put an announce at my local supermarket. Ah ah!
Let's keep it simple: I'm a follower on here via blogspot (and I'm in Europe). Smile

It's great to celebrate Spring. <3>
