Round nails.


Gel nails. Roses and hearts. Tiny polka dots for the lace effect.


Huge pink bows on her thumbs!


Sweet!


Acrylic nails. French tips with pink disco balls inlay! We have the super cute polka dots without having to paint. Hehehe. :D


Orangey and pinkey roses too!

ED HARDY TATTOO NAIL ART

These are ed hardy temporary tattoos I put a thin layer of acrylic on the nails and then covered over the tattoo with clear acrylic. I am loving these!


Just Breathe.


Hey everyone!! Sorry today's post is so late, looooong day. :-/ Today's manicure is simple, and... a word not in my vocabulary...subtle. :-D I found the base polish on transdesign.com and thought it looked really pretty, I had no idea it was so sheer. this is 4 coats and then a million coats of the Sugar Sparkle, and you can STILL see my nail line... but, what can ya do?

The great thing about the base polish OPI Breathe Life, is that it was created exclusively to help the Lung Cancer Foundation of America in its efforts to raise funds to find a cure. As a person who lost my grandfather to lung cancer, I think it's awesome that it was developed, and I encourage y'all to buy it- it really IS pretty, and it's for a great cause.



I used OPI Breathe Life as a base, with CND Sugar Sparkle brushed on the tip half of the nail (about 4 coats to get the density of sparkle I wanted). Topped it off with Seche Vite top coat.

Cancer sucks.

Catrice Let's Talk About Barrie!




Let's Talk About Barrie is een mooie berry-kleurige jelly. Prachtige kleur! Niet te rood, niet te roze, ik ben er helemaal weg van!

Ik had drie laagjes nodig om deze helemaal dekkend te krijgen maar als je geen problemen hebt met een beetje VNL (Engelse afkorting voor zichtbare nagellijn of visible nail line) dan is twee laagjes genoeg om een mooie finish te krijgen. Ik had met deze geen problemen met de formule. De lak werkte erg prettig, wat te verwachten is van een jelly.

Let's Talk About Barrie is a very nice berry-coloured jelly. Beautiful colour! Not too red, not too pink, I absolutely love it!

It took tree coats to be perfectly opaque but if you don't mind a little VNL (visible nail line) two are enough to get a nice finish. I've had no trouble with this one formula-wise. The consistency was very nice to work with as can be expected from a jelly.





Ik laat mijn linkerhand zien omdat mijn rechter een aantal flinke chips had na anderhalve dag dragen. Ik ben wel aardig hard geweest voor mijn nagels maar het is alsnog een beetje een teleurstelling. Ik heb ook wat vreemde krimp gehad op sommige vingers zoals je op mijn ringvinger kan zien maar daarvan geef ik Diamont de schuld.

Ik heb ook besloten om in het vervolg verticale foto's te posten in plaats van horizontale. Ik weet dat een aantal van jullie liever horizontale zien maar blogger cropt die foto's op een vreemde manier waardoor mijn handen en nagels er vreemd smal en uitgerekt en dat vinnik nie loik dus ik ga verticaal!

Reminder: Als je deze kleur wilt winnen schrijf je dan in voor mijn giveaway!

I'm showing you my left hand because my right had a couple of bad chips after only a day and a half of wear. I've been pretty rough on my hands but it's still a bit disappointing. I've also had some weird shrinking on some fingers as you can see on my ring finger but I blame Diamont for that.

I've also decided I'm going to post vertical pics from now on instead of horizontal ones. I know some of you told me you prefer horizontal but somehow those pics are cropped a a weird way which makes my hands and nails look weirdly thin and stretched and me no likey so I'm going vertical from now on!

Reminder: If you want to win this colour you should enter my giveaway!

-EDIT-
Ik ben vergeten om een puppy update te doen!

Wij denken er serieus over na om het bonte reutje te houden dat rechtsboven met zijn kont uit de groep steekt en mijn zus wil twee teefjes houden. Hopelijk vinden we op tijd baasjes voor de overige pups maar dat zal wel lukken. Wie wil er nou niet zo'n hummel? ;)


I forgot to do a puppy update!
We're seriously thinking about keeping the white and black male pup that sticks his butt out of the group on the top right and my sister want's to keep two of the bitches. I hope we can find new owners for the rest of them but that shouldn't be a problem. Who wouldn't want to have one of these? ;)
