Zebra Reverse

Happy Friday!!

Almost weekend, yeay!

Got a golden oldie for you today, which was based on an outfit. I had found the cutest zebra dress at H&M for no money at all, and decided it called for an accompanying mani. I wore the outfit to an art opening. 

I reversed the zebra motif on my nails, first black and white stripes, to make it just a bit different:

I used Rimmel "Black Out" as my base and freehanded the lines with my white striper from Janet.

This was the pattern of the dress:

I really enjoyed this mani, my hands looked so cool!!

What do you think?

Golden Oldie: Monster Marble

Hello there!

Before we continue with our Goddesses, I'd like to share a golden oldie. I absolutely love green, and in this mani, I used various greens to try out a new marbling technique that I heard of.

I used Catrice 'King of Greens' and 'ACid/DC' on a base of Rimmel 'Black Out'. I first painted 2 coats of black out, let them dry and then added another coat and quickly some drops of the greens. Then I dragged out the polishes with a needle. One really wants to have new polishes for this, because it's best if they are very liquid, otherwise one will end up with big gloopy blobs, like I did. And that takes forever to dry! I added some glitter to add some sparkle, with Essence 'Circus Confetti'. This is the result:

Sorry for the bad photo quality, couldn't get good lighting.

Now even though it all came out blobby, I still liked it, it was like there were weird monsters on my nails :) It did take forever to dry, though.

Tomorrow I hope to have another goddess for you!

Gangnam Style It Up!

Hi hi!

Here is a mani I did a while back. There were a lot of parties everywhere, and the song that got everybody going all the time was of course Gangnam Style! It gets everybody in a good mood :)

So it deserves a mani :) Cutepolish did a great tutorial and I copied it, because it is just so fun and happy and crazy, like the song! I present you "Gangnam Style It Up!"

Yes of course there had to be a photo in which I do the dance while showing my nails ;) I had so much fun with this!!!

That's it for today! Soon we will show you how to cut your boyfriends hair :D Stay tuned!!

A Golden Delight

Hi guys!

Got another pre-blog mani for you. I was wearing this on New Year's Eve. The design is based on Nailside's, but done from memory, so not the same! I had just bought the base colour that she uses as well, namely Essence "A Piece of Forever" from the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 collection and stumbled upon her post. This lingered in my mind for a while and I decided to try it on my nails. Here is the result:

I used a black striper from Janet to draw on the lines.
It was a good way to start off the year stylishly ;)

Some Golden Oldies

We will now share some golden oldies :) If you have any questions regarding the design, please send an email or leave a comment and we will do our best to remember ;)

As you will see, many friends and family members happily volunteered their hands for our benefit, and we are endlessly grateful for that!

"Hoot hoot hoot, on my hand, not my foot!"

Based on the design of Let Them Have Polish. Saw it on facebook and had to immediately recreate it, so found one of our many sisters to be our victim. She loved it and created this pic for her instagram account and it got likes from strangers! The weirdest and most flattering phenomenon! Sort of made us think seriously about blogging...

Put a ribbon on it, with a flower on top 

One of our earliest designs (got it from YouTube a long, long time ago, but cannot find it anymore, so can't give credit). 

In fact, it is the first design The Captain ever tried on her Lieutenant (see upper pic), and the start of the tradition of a weekly mani :) 

The middle image is a friend who besides clear polish, never used to have anything on her nails! So we gave her some shock nail therapy and voilà! Took her about a day, but then she got used to it and loved it. Her coworkers approved as well (so happy!). Since then, she bought some polishes herself! And every now and then, Captain gets to try a new design :) Very happy with this willing mani-victim!

The lower pic also refers to a case of shock therapy ;) This friend had only worn nail polish once, on her 16th birthday, but was willing to let me go crazy! So I went for green ;) It looked awesome with her beautiful skin tone!!

Blooming Blossoms

One of our sisters was willing to sit through the first time Captain tried a Cherry Blossom nail design. Captain liked it and repeated it many times, hence the lower pic, another willing victim and Captain's friend since she was 3. 

Plaided nails

 Aha! Based on Cutepolish' design. This was fun! And a lot of work. The base is Essence "Jacob's Protection" from the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part II collection. The metallic stripes are Essence's striper "Metallic Grape". 

 Spot on!

Just a lot of dots :) Rimmel "Coralicious" and "Sky High" for the bases and Rimmel "Mystic Jade", Essence "Alpha Better Gamma" and a plain white.

 My Mosaic's got the blues

Couldn't decide which of these blues to try first, so it became a mosaic, like the name of the glitter polish from W7. The blue is from Miss Sporty, it was a gift from my second cousin, a nail polish lover herself. She shared with me her favourite colour and I'm so happy! The dark blue shimmer is Essence's "Jacob's Protection" again. Finished it off with a glitter striper.

Juicy Marble

 One of our sister's hands again :) She wanted nothing too much, just a touch. The coral is Essence "What do u think?" The marbling was done using Robin Moses' marbling without water technique. So what do u think?

Golden retro

Ah a very very old one! Based the design on the colours of the blouse and the watch that are shown with it. 

We hope you enjoyed this long post!
