I Resolve to....

Day 80

...paint my nails EVERY day until October 14, 2010. ;)

Yay!!! We all made it through the last decade!! Let's all hope that this year far surpasses the last, and keeps going at that momentum for the next decade! (and further!!) Today's nails are one of my (and several others') resolutions- to lose a few inches!! :-/ Working at a job that requires me to sit most of the day, and my aversion to the gym have left me with about 10 or so # that I'd like to get rid of... as my sister put it, I don't want things to wobble (other than my chest) when I walk down stairs. ;) lol I have a few other resolutions, but this is the one I'm determined to keep. :)



I used Urban Outfitter's polish in Orange 3 as a base (its really more of a goldy-yellow), and China Glaze Liquid Leather for the lines, and then topped it off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat. My nails are so shiny today they look like they're fake nails. The picture doesn't do justice, I can never get good pictures it seems like.

What are some of your resolutions for 2010?

Lastly, I had to post this picture of my 'nephew', he just looked too hilarious chewing on his bone, all splayed out, he's just so damn long. lol

In With the New, Out with the Old...

Day 79

Happy New Year's Eve!! For tonight, my nails required sparkle, and champagne, and that's what they got!! ;-P



I used OPI Dazzled by Gold for the Champagne, China Glaze Liquid Leather as a base for the other nails, China Glaze White on White for the white on the champagne glass, and Zoya Luna for the silver sparkle. Everything was topped off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat. :)

I hope that everyone has a very Happy and VERY safe New Year's Eve!! Remember your designated driver!

Edited to add:

Here is a pic of me enjoying a 'champagne' toast ;) Don't mind the hair- this was at the end of the night after walking across downtown in the snow!! lol

Happy New Tiger Year!

Happy new year to all my wonderful readers and all the Nail-Art Lovers.
I am so excited, to start the year of the Tiger, according to the Chinese Calendar.
Tiger is the same as Cat just not domesticated, and i love cats so much.
I made 2 tigers manicures, first i made orange one, but when i realized that it is the year of the white tiger, and had nit done again tonight.
So, i hope you ll like manicures and have a cool holiday.

VEGAS BABY!

These nails are too fun! This is a glitter called "wild aces". On the ring fingers I used fimo polymer clay playing cards that I got from oaktreedollshouseminiatures.com
These nails will bring good luck at the casino! Go gamble and have some fun! P.S. have a drink for me!

Mmmm, Fruity!

Gel flowers inlay!

Remember the gel flowers inlay sample i did?

Did these 2 sets on my customers and they turn out really nice!

Colourful and warm! Love it!
Peach orange glitter with different shades of flowers. See the tiny dots? I know, the colour doesn't show up here, and in fact they are actually tiny round disco ball flakes of green, gold, red.


Oh and this, it looks more fall/winter with the silvery/greyish colour. Love the colour combi! :)

Misa On The Edge

Ik zou hier een heel afgezaagd grapje kunnen maken over hoe we op de rand staan van 2009 met 2010 voor ons maar dat ga ik maar niet doen. ;)

English: I could make a corny joke here about how we are on the edge of 2009 looking at 2010 but I won't. ;)

Oh wat houd ik van Misa! Het glijdt op je nagels als boter, dekt zonder strepen, het kwastje is geweldig en de kleuren zijn ook super. Dit zijn twee laagjes met base- en topcoat.

Hij lijkt op Rescue Beauty Lounge Dead Calm maar het is geen exacte dupe. Toch vond ik hem goed genoeg gezien het prijsverschil.


English: Oh how I love Misa! It glides on your nails like butter, isn't streaky, the brush is great and the colours are awesome. This is two coats with base- and topcoat. It's similar to Rescue Beauty Lounge Dead Calm but not an exact dupe. Still it's close enough for me considering the price difference.


Ik heb mijn mobiele fotostudiootje gekregen! Ik moet er nog flink mee experimenteren heb ik wel door. Deze foto is de enige foto die er vooralsnog fatsoenlijk uit ziet. :P
Maar dat komt goed! Ik moet gewoon even spelen met de instellingen van mijn camera en de belichting.

English: I got my light box! I'm going to have to experiment with it a bit more. This is the only pic so far that I got that looks decent. :P But it will be OK! I'll just have to play with my camera settings and lighting a bit.
