You Don't Know Konad?
Zo, daar ben ik weer! Hoe was jullie weekend? Het mijne was erg gezellig met mijn ouders.
Natuurlijk moest het pakketje met Zoya's juist komen terwijl zij er waren. ("Je hebt wát gekregen?! Nagellak uit de VS?!")
English: So, I'm back! How was your weekend? I've had a great weekend with my parents. Of course my Zoya package had to get here while they were here. ("You got what?! Nail polish from the US?!")
Dit waren mijn nagels afgelopen weekend. OPI You Don't know Jacques. Ik ben weg van deze kleur! Het valt me op dat vrouwen hem vaak geweldig vinden en mannen niet snappen waarom je een modderkleur op je nagels smeert. :D
English: These were my nails for the weekend. OPI You Don't Know Jacques. I love this colour! I've noticed most women adore it while men don't get why you would want your nails to look like you put mud on them. :D
Dit leek me ook leuk om met jullie te delen. Dit doe ik over bijna iedere oude mani voor ik het verwijder. I oefen met double stamping, probeer designs en probeer plates die ik maar niet goed onder de knie kan krijgen. Dit is een van de beste tips die ik heb als je problemen hebt met Konad! Als het mis gaat over een oude mani is dat lang niet zo frustrerend als wanneer je je nagels net gelakt hebt. Zoals je ziet krijg ik het ruitjespatroon maar niet onder controle.
Een andere tip is om na het stempelen te controleren of er geen stukjes van de stempel omhoog steken. Deze veroorzaken namelijk strepen als je de topcoat aanbrengt. Als je zo'n eigenwijs stukje ziet druk hem dan voorzichtig op je nagel met zo min mogelijk contact tussen je vinger en je nagel.
Emerald Sparkled heeft pas een post gedaan met nog veel meer nuttige tips. Zeker de moeite waard om eens te bekijken!
P.S. Ik ben wat watermerken aan het proberen op mijn foto's. Irritant? Niet storend? Tips?
English: I also thought I'd share this with you. This is what I do over practically every old mani before I remove it. I practice double stamping, try out designs and try plates I haven't mastered yet. This is one of the best tips I have for when you are struggling with Konad.
If you mess up an old mani it's not nearly as frustrating as messing up your freshly painted tips. As you can see I still haven't mastered the fishnet design.
Another tip is to check for bits and pieces of the stamp that might be sticking up. These cause smearing when you apply the topcoat. If you see them just gently push them down on the nail with as little finger <> nail contact as possible.
Emerald Sparkled just did a great post with a lot of useful tips and tricks for Konad. It's definitely worth checking out!
P.S. I'm trying some watermarks for my pictures. Annoying? Not distracting? Tips?
Happy painting!

Manicure ideas for Christmas
Hello Beautiful Nail-Art Lovers!
I hope you all had wonderful weekend.
Today i have 2 versions of the same manicure, both made by me, but one is made on my own nails, and other was made on my friends Nails.
I actually did this for one of the contests, but realized that my tiny nails can't really compete well, i needed bigger nails, so i called my beloved forever nail-art model - Olga.
I did not win anything anyway, but at least i can share with you those Christmas manicure ideas,and i hope you ll like it.
By the way, for the extra sparkle on the free edge, i used gold foil flakes.
Those are Olgas natural nails

Nigth Club Martini
Hello Dear Nail-Art Lovers!
Today i am sharing with you my attempt of Martini glass manicure. Where are many different variation of this manicure, and almost everyone who does some nail-art have tried this one, or at least was thinking of it.
I think my turned out not bad at all, i did all the design with nail polish strippers. Special thing about it, and something think is really cool, is little "olive" dot in each glass - i made it using China glaze khrome polish.
So i hope this mani will spice up your weekend a little. And another excited news is that i died my hairs today - it is now dark auburn. I have not died my hairs for a really long time, like since i was 16-17 y o. I like my naturaly rich and dark color, but i guess just want to try something new. I cant say that i hate the result, but i definately have to get used to the new look, so far it feels weired. :)

The Sweetest Thing Happend To Me!
Ik had een rotdag een paar dagen terug en de volgende morgen toen ik de brievenbus leeghaalde zag ik een kleine bubbeltjesenveloppe, wat raar was want ik verwachtte niks. (Niet iets wat in een kleine bubbeltjesenveloppe past tenminste. lol)
Toen ik hem openscheurde zag ik een nagellak en een heel lief briefje. Een van mijn online nagellakvriendinnen had me een nagellak gestuurd om me op te vrolijken en een hart onder de riem te steken!
Heel erg bedankt IceRozie, ik vind het echt heel erg lief van je! <3
English: I was having a bad day the other day and the next morning when I was emptying out my mail box I noticed a small bubble envelope which was strange because I wasn't expecting anything. (At least not something that would fit in a small bubble envelope. lol) I ripped it open and inside there was a nail polish and a wonderful note. One of my online polish friends noticed I had a bad day and sent me a nailpolish to cheer me up! Thank you so much IceRozie, I really appreciate it! <3
En hier is ze dan: Zoya Harley
Zonder flits:
English: So here she is: Zoya Harley
Without flash:
Klik op de foto's om ze groter te zien. Zoya Harley is een prachtige lichtgrijze shimmer. Exact de kleur van de lucht vandaag!
Ik ben tot nu toe niet heel erg onder de indruk van de formule van Zoya maar lichte kleuren zijn vaak sowieso wat lastiger en 'kalkig' om op te brengen dus ik wacht nog even met mijn oordeel tot ik er meer geprobeerd heb.
English: Please click on the pics to see them larger. Zoya Harley is a beautiful light grey shimmer. The exact colour of the sky today!
I'm not reallt impressed with Zoya's formula so far but lighter colours are often a bit tricky and chalky to apply so I'll hold out on my verdict until I have tried more.
Er zitten meer Zoya posts aan te komen want ik heb via via wat lakken kunnen bestellen met de Zoya Green Friday aanbieding!
English: There will be more Zoya posts in the near future because I was able to order some polishes in the Zoya Green Friday sale!
Ik ben even een paar dagen afwezig want mijn ouders komen logeren. Prettig weekend allemaal!
English: I won't be around for a couple of days because my parents are coming over for the weekend. Have a great weekend everyone!
