Flowers for Football

Hello lovelies!

Tonight we're playing our second game during the European Football Championship, so I created another look with our national colours:

Cruising The Skies

Hello lovelies!

A while ago I was supposed to go flying in a tiny airplane with my friend.  Unfortunately due to weather conditions, we were not able to take off. That was really too bad, I had prepared my nails so well for the occasion!

Dottiness with Ms. Sparkle "Sauce Box"

Hi lovelies!

One of the pretty polishes I picked up a while back is "Sauce Box" by Ms. Sparkle. It's a red jelly with holo and shimmers and it's very sparkly. I used it in this stamp/dotticure mani:

Dot dot dot...

Hi lovelies!

Back in the good old days, when one could meet with friends, travel with public transportation, eat in restaurants and wander aimlessly from shop to shop, I went to Amersfoort with a friend. At some point we found ourselves in a new kind of drugstore, where they sold cheap but decent-looking nail polishes from "Dark Blond". They were much cheaper than here on the website! I restrained myself and only bought three that looked great together: a raspberry, a purple and a lilac shade:

Pastel Petals & Spunky Speckles

Hello lovelies!

I bought some Essence polishes a while ago with a 50% discount and figured they'd look good together, so I did a little nail art! First I have a pastel yellow flower design:

The Digit-al Dozen does TV Shows - Bazinga!

Hello lovelies!

Sorry, I missed yesterday's post, had a work thing until late that had kept me busy for a couple of days. But today I'm back with my BAZINGA manicure, inspired by The Big Bang Theory!

Catrice "Pulse of Purism" Limited Editions

Hello lovelies!

A long while ago, I bought one of Catrice's limited editions (well, only the nail polishes): "Pulse of Purism". I didn't get around to posting them, but on the off-chance that they're still in your local drugstore, I figured: better late than never! The nail polish part of this collection comprises of three cremes and 1 special effect topper. 

The Digit-al Dozen does Paper - Party

Hi lovelies!

So you know, parties often include a large amount of paper... cups, plates, napkins, and even the decorations are also often made of paper. So I decided to decorate my nails with 

....boom and I had accidentally fallen asleep.. the week has been insane and I keep falling asleep after I get home from work! Anyways, as I was saying, I decorated my nails with party flag banners and confetti!

Twinsie Thursday with ProcrastiNails!

Hello lovelies!

Tablecloth - Wine About It

Hello lovelies!

Something girly today - a tablecloth design with Carpe Noctem Cosmetics "Wine About It"!

Dalmatian

Hello lovelies!

And now for something entirely different... Dalmatians! 

With a cherry on top

Hello lovelies!

I'm currently recovering from a tonsillectomy, which is way  more painful than I had imagined, lol! And I'm way too impatient, I have things to do and nail polishes to put on, but I just can't, since I can hardly eat... Luckily I had this post done already. It's some simple nail art, revolving around a cute little charm that I randomly encountered on Ebay:

Neverland Nail Vinyls pt. 4

Hello lovelies!

Got some more Neverland Nail Vinyls to show you today! She sent me so much! So sweet :) First up are the cloudy nail vinyls:

Duochrome spring florals!

Hello lovelies!

Today was a very spring-y day, it is my aunt's birthday and it is my half-birthday, so all this calls for a happy spring-y manicure! I recreated a recent mani by Pink & Polished Nails. Ever since I saw it on IG, I couldn't get it out of my mind, so I had to do something about it!

#RedCoatTuesday - Lace & Polka Dots

Hello lovelies!

First of all, did you enter the giveaways that I'm part of/hosting? GO HERE

My current mani is to celebrate another PLL episode! Man I love that show. This mani is inspired by Paulina's Passions, but did not turn out they way I had envisioned it. And it's certainly not as perfectly clean as hers. But oh well... it's ok. Although it looks like a bunch of weird albino strawberries.

Guest Post by Nail Art Novice - Mani Swap!

Hello Manis and Makeovers readers!

My name is Jenni and I blog over at http://nailartnovice.blogspot.co.uk/. I want to say a big thank you to Lothwen for having me on her blog-we both needed guest posters for June so we decided to swap posts for each other! We chose to do a mani swap and the one of Lothwen's that I chose was the spotty one from this post because I thought it was really cool. I did mix up the colours a little though-I'm really not a pink kinda gal!

I used all Barry M polishes, mostly from the Gelly line, which I love! So many fab colours and brilliant coverage. I used (from thumb to little finger on my left hand): Mango, Satsuma, Prickly Pear, Plum, Key Lime, Watermelon, Greenberry, Guava, Elderberry and Damson plus Matt White.

Here's what I ended up with!

Pastel Party

Hello!

I did these on my cousin, when I had just finished her daughter's princess nails. It was carnival/mardi gras and we were waiting for the parade to start, so I decided to get a party going:

Darling Diva - Care Bear for a Crow

Hey beauties!

I have a fun mani for you today, of which I had the pics lying around for a while (hence the alternating nail shape). This mani features Darling Diva's "Care Bear for a Crow". 

SiS: Catrice Crème Fresh Limited Edition

Hello lovelies! 

Today I would like to show you two pretties from Catrice's Limited Edition "Crème Fresh". It is an LE full of candy coloured pastel pretties, referring to the sixties and spring. And yes, I slightly broke my no-buy for this, but I bought only 2 of the 5 and both could be used in the upcoming bridal manis, so it's more of an investment, I told myself. I bought "Evergreen 60s" and "Another Pink Panther". I decided to mix and match them in one mani:

Friends on Friday: Dots 'n Roses

Hello lovelies!

Time for a good old Friends on Friday, with a new friend and colleague! She volunteered her hands AND bought me a beer :D Excellent deal, don't you think? 

She had just bought a new top with dots and was wearing it, so I got inspired. This is the result (captured with my phone, but not too bad this time):

I used W7 Black and White as the base and for the dots. Then I freehanded the roses with a nail art brush, and various colours, some of which I  mixed with white to get the right shade. A tutorial for a similar design, can be found here. 

The mani lasted for more than 4 days, lol! We'll be doing this again soon, it's a welcome break from screen-staring ;)
