Very busy , but beautiful Nails

Hello my Sweet Nail-art lovers.
This nail design that i am posting today is kind of busy looking, a lot is going on on those tiny nails. It actually started as just a diagonal stripes of different shades of purple. When i decided to add a little gold, and when some stamp on the edge, and more stamp and the rhinestones.
I hope you ll like, because i am really thrilled with the result, even thought the design came to me really spontaneous.


It's like But-tah


Today's nails were inspired by the fact that I wanted to use my new butterLONDON polish in Rosie Lee. :-D I'm usually not a pink girl, but I this is a very purty glitter. :-P Adding the halftone dots make it less girly, right?! RIGHT?! I just finished Season 3 of Weeds on Netflix Instant Queue or whatever its called when I watch it through my XBOX. That makes 3 seasons in less than a week. I think I may have a problem. Or drink too many caffeinated beverages, not sure.



I used butterLONDON Rosie Lee as a base, with American Apparel Peacock applied with Konad Plate m60. Topped off with two coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Hi dear reader! Today I'm showing you something I'm really excited about: Peacock Green by Models Own. Trust me when I say these pictures don't do any justice to the color, depth and overall beauty of it! This is what it looks like when green meets blue, and they click ;-).

It's super glowy and it almost looks like a duochrome. I stole this one from my mom's helmer, and I can't believe I didn't order this one myself. The formula is nice, it's a 3 coater though, but application was really smooth.

I also found out Models Own is hosting a contest where you can win 12 of their most wanted colors. And if you don't win you'll get a 30% discount on your next order :-).

You only have to fill out a survey. Sounds pretty nice huh? So if you're into this brand please check it out. This contest ends the 29th of March, so you'll have 1 day left!

So we're at the end of this post again, thanks for stopping by and enjoy your sunday!

I've been on a green streak

Ik weet niet waarom maar de laatste tijd grijp ik steeds naar mijn groenen als ik een mani wil doen. Als je in kleurentherapie gelooft staat groen voor zelfrespect, balans en harmonie en heeft het een kalmerend effect. Ik weet niet wat ik daarvan moet vinden maar gezien de hectische tijd waarin ik zit kan ik alle hulp gebruiken dus ik omarm de groen.

I don't know why but lately I find myself reaching for greens almost every time I do a mani. If you believe in colour therapy green stands for self-respect, balance and harmony and has a calming effect. I'm not really sure about that but considering the hectic times I'm in I can use all the help I can get so I'm embracing the green.



Dit is Asos by Ciaté Pixie, een prachtige groene creme. Deze foto is genomen na drie dagen dragen waarin ik aardig hard voor mijn handen ben geweest en zonder dat ik de topcoat ververst heb dus ik ben onder de indruk van de draagtijd!

This is Asos by Ciaté Pixie, a gorgeous apple green creme. This picture was taken after three days of wear while being pretty rough on my hands and without topcoat refreshments so I'm impressed with the wear time!



Ik had drie laagjes nodig om deze dekkend te krijgen. Over de formule is niet veel te zeggen, deze is niet opmerkelijk goed of slecht en hetzelfde geldt voor het kwastje.

Ik ben helemaal gek van deze kleur! IceRozie heeft me deze voor mijn verjaardag in Februari gegeven en ik ben er heel blij mee. Wat ik vooral erg mooi vind is dat ze helder maar toch een beetje stoffig is. Heel interessante lak!

Ik ben heel benieuwd hoe deze zich laat vergelijken met OPI Jade Is The New Black maar die heb ik nog niet binnen. Zodra ik die heb zal ik een vergelijking maken.

I needed three coats to get it opaque. Formula-wise there isn't much to say, it isn't remarkably good or bad and the same goes for the brush.

I really love this colour! IceRozie gave me this one for my birthday in February and I'm so glad she did. I love that it is very bright yet just a little bit dusty. Very interesting polish!

I'm very curious to see how it compares to OPI Jade Is The New Black but I don't have that one yet. As soon as I do I'll make a comparison.
