Cozy claws


Hello lovelies!

I was in need of something cozy and soft on my nails and I had just received some beautiful medium grey stamping polish from BPS (new!), so this was the result:

Ms. Sparkle December Duo


Hi lovelies!


It's been December for a while, but both me and Ms. Sparkle have been busy/sick/busy/sick a lot, so the duo got a bit delayed. However, it's still December, so it still counts!

The Digit-al Dozen does December - Snow


Hello lovelies!

I'm running a fever and feel like cr*p, which is also very fitting for December; however, my manicure is inspired by more HAPPY December thoughts... thoughts of snow.

Hi lovelies!

The Digit-al Dozen does December - Starry Starry Night


Hi lovelies!

Continuing the December prompt with stars... December is a great month for stargazing; cold and dark - the optimal conditions. Also, December has fireworks! So I decided to pair stars with pink :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Colour Contrast! - Colour Blocking


Hello lovelies!

I'd like to close this awesome series of Colour Contrast manicures with some colour blocking. So I went back to the roots of it - to Mondriaan, a fellow Dutchie, who mastered the art of colour blocking a century ago:

The Digit-al Dozen does Colour Contrasts! - Clashing & Cute


Hi lovelies!

Personally I find that one of the most clashing colour combos is purple and green. I was curious to see if I could do a non-Halloween-y, non-ugly manicure using these two colours and... Eureka! I found the magic trick to combining purple and green! It's a blue buffer zone. A blue buffer zone saved the day!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Colour Contrast! - Colour as Contrast


Hello lovelies!

Today on The Digit-al Dozen Does Colour Contrast - Colour as a Contrast! I chose a black and white classic base design and added a colourful pop.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Vampy - Day One: Negative Space


Hello lovelies!

I'm so excited! I got accepted to The Digit-al Dozen - OMG OMG OMG! I was jumping up and down! If you follow a lot of nail art blogs, you'll know that The Digital Dozen is an awesome group of ladies that come together each month to do nail art around a theme. I've always loved reading these posts, as everybody has their own interpretation of a theme, which inspires me a lot. This month the theme is 'Vampy'. I love the theme, although it proved difficult to come up with 5 very different manicures. But I did my best for you guys and I hope you'll like them! My first mani has purple, rhinestones and negative space...

Zombie Claw Polish - College Football Collection


Hi lovelies!

Today I have three new polishes from a new-to-me brand for you! Three polishes from the College Football Collection by Zombie Claw Polish. Now I don't know a whole lot about football (or, as we call it, AMERICAN football, since football to us is what US peeps call soccer ;) ), except for touchdown and quarterback (although of the latter I only know that they're usually the most popular in school and have a bitchy girlfriend, but what in the world their function is, no idea!)

LynBDesigns Double Bluff


Hi lovelies!

Look at this stunner that I got from LynBDesigns! 


It's called "Double Bluff" and it's a real stunner. I paired it with some simple black stamping using on of the BC plates and BPS black stamping polish. "Double Bluff" is opaque in two simple coats and applies easily. It has a gorgeous soft linear holo effect and a little bit of a shift in the shade, caused by the beautiful pink shimmer, look:


But my favourite shots are those in direct sunlight:
