Autumn: Abstract & Skittle

Hello lovelies!

I meant to post this a week and a half ago, but due to personal circumstances I wasn't able to. I had dedicated the following abstract autumn mani to fellow Dutch nail artist Soraya for her birthday!

Bubbly Flowers


Hello lovelies!

I purchased "Bubbles" from Ms. Sparkle, because I am a total sucker for yellow nail polish and I decided to freehand some contrasting flowers over it.

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:

Messy Mani with Lina's Nail Art Supplies and Essence


Hello lovelies!

Recently there was a sale of Essence nail polishes, so I was permitted to buy a few! They're cheap when they're not on sale, let alone when it's a BOGO-situation! I felt the shades I chose would look gorgeous together, so I fashioned this:

Blue Monday


Hi lovelies!

Today is Blue Monday - the most depressing day of the year. However, since blue is a beautiful shade, why not celebrate with a manicure and try to beat those blues? I took one out of the vault, since I had to work today, which is why my nails are still square here, lol.

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!

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 :)

Friends on Friday - PhD appropriate nails


Hello lovelies!

A friend of mine defended her PhD thesis a little while ago, and asked me to do her nails (YAY!). This was a tricky situation; a lot of fashionable stuff is frowned upon, so I couldn't go all out with the nails. However, it was a joyous occasion, so I did want to translate that into the manicure. In the end, I decided to do all nails a dark blue, similar to her dress, but with accent nails of a more festive nature. 

The blue is two coats of Essence "Date in the Moonlight" and on the accent nails there is Essie "Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low" stamped with "Date in the Moonlight" and BP-L029.


What do you think? I was so honoured to do her nails for this occasion; if you recognize the nails; I also did her wedding nails!

Oh and the defense went great and she's a Doctor now!

New Essence Pretties!


Hello lovelies!

There are some new Essence pretties in store and I want to show you two of them. They're "Turn The Lights On" and "Girl's Best Friend". I bought both of them, because I thought they'd look awesome together. But first let's look at them on their own ;)

Budget-proof St. Paddy's Manis


Hello lovelies!

Next Tuesday is St. Paddy's Day and I'd like to show you three super cheap, yet special nail polishes for the occasion. All these manis have been done throughout the last few months, hence all the different nail lengths and light circumstances. Let's start with a glitter gradient, my fave!

Friends on Friday - Glittermania!


Hello lovelies,

Happy Friday! 
So I showed you Essence's party topper on Tuesday, "Party Never Ends", and I had actually used it a while back already, on a friend's nails! Instead of just topping, I did a gradient of sorts:
