Hup Holland Hup with Pride

Hello lovelies!

As I'm writing this, we're playing the 1/8-final in the European Football Championship. We're playing against the Czech Republic, but in an Hungarian stadium. Since Hungary is passing some anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, our team captain Wijnaldum is wearing a one-love inclusiveness captain's armband, to make a statement. Many Dutch supporters have smuggled rainbow flags and apparel into the stadium, to go with their orange outfits. I of course support our team, inclusiveness and equality with a band on my nails.

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:

Hup, Holland, Hup! - European Football Championship 2021

Hello lovelies!

We're playing our first game in the European Football Championship of 2021 as I'm writing this and I'm stoked! We're playing against Ukraine. Usually football doesn't interest me much, but during international championships I'm suddenly an enormous fan. Funny how that works! So here's my mani in support of our team:

The Digit-al Dozen does Tropical! - Vintage Flowers

Hello lovelies!

The tropics are also full of flowers, hence...

The Digit-al Dozen does Tropical! - Wavy Palm Trees

Hello lovelies!

The Digit-al Dozen does Tropical this month. Since we've had two heat waves here already, I'd say that's pretty appropriate! Plus, it's an excellent excuse for some fun designs. Now I don't think I've ever actually done a palm tree mani before, so here we go! I kept it really simple, it's easy to recreate:

Go, Holland, Go!

Hello lovelies!

The Winter Olympics have been entertaining the world for a week now, so it is time to manicuristically cheer on Team NL! The Dutch national colour being orange and the entire Dutch Olympic Team being stars (especially those speed skaters), the manicure is simply this:

Neon on! - pt. 2

Hi lovelies!

I'm continuing to neon on with two orange/coral manis today!

My Indie Polish "Sunsets at Bluffers Park"

These items were sent to me for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Hi lovelies!

Time for another one of My Indie Polish's pretties! This is "Sunsets at Bluffers Park", inspired by the Scarborough Bluffs, which according to wiki "have been described as a 'geological wonder' and a unique feature in North America."

BPS Orange Stamping Polish

Hi lovelies!

As you might have noticed, I've been having a lot of fun with those BC stamping plates lately! I used one of them to test the orange stamping polish from BPS!

Kingsday with Delush Polish "All Twerk And No Play"

Hi lovelies!

Happy King's Day! We celebrate King Willem Alexander's birthday today, so everything is orange! Since the temperature dropped A LOT the last few days here in The Netherlands, I'm going to both celebrate our national holiday AND influence the weather with my ultra summery orange nail polish: Delush Polish "All Twerk And No Play":

Ms. Sparkle "Dulcet" and "Elysian"

Hi lovelies!

I have more of Ms. Sparkle's Pretty Purist collection for you today! The past few days I've showed you Meraki and Ukiyo and now I'll show you the last two! First up is a bright orange jelly called "Dulcet":

Paws by Eddie "Bajoran Security Officer"

Hi lovelies!

Not much writing inspiration today, I put all that into my thesis already. So let's just dive into the nails! Some indie love, it's been a while... Another PbE for you, called "Bajoran Security Officer", a Star Trek inspired polish! I'm not a Trekkie, so I don't really know that much about it, unfortunately, but the polish is truly awesome!

Halloween Decals - Mix 'n Match

Hi lovelies!

Recently BPS had a water decal super sale, so I got some plaid designed ones and one of the five patterns was orange and purple - Halloween colours! So I paired them with actual halloween decals and this is the result!

Autumn Leaves

Hello lovelies!

A wee bit o' nail art today! In this nail art, I'm trying to focus on the nice parts of autumn, instead of the dreadful weather we've been having today.

Mod Lacquer Electrified Collection

Hello lovelies!

I have a new-to-me indie brand to show you, for which I was chosen to swatch! Such an honour <3 It is Mod Lacquer, which you might know from the amazing holographic polishes that they have released last year, over which I have been drooling for a while! Mod Lacquer jumped on the neon bandwagon this year and has released a huge collection of absolute neon must-haves: The Electrified Collection. And yes, they marble!
