Retro Baby Pearls

Good morning everyone! It's Thursday already so the time is flying by, only two more days to pass and then it's weekend. For me the upcoming weekend also means vacation time and I'm really really really looking forward getting some rest, fun and sun.

Like you can see above today is another Bundle Monster plate design, this time from BM plate 19. The design looks kind of retro to me and I can imagine it looks really retro when you combine it with orange and muddy green. However, with the colours I chose it looks kinda futuristic. So it's a design you can do lots of different styles with.

My base colour is Ciaté Refresher, a great pale light blue. I stamped with China Glaze Sci-Fi, again from the Khrome Collection (cause we all know how awesome they are with konad stuff). After that I used the sweetest baby pearls every and placed them in the centre of the circle. My baby pearls are from the Dollar Nail Art store which is really awesome. I definitely recommend it to you if you're looking to start off with tiny amounts of glitter, rhinestones, foils and more.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Holographic Zebra

Hi guys! It's six am as I'm typing this and I'm completely awake. I really dislike waking up this early since it's vacation time and I'll feel tired the rest of the day. Sorry for ranting, at least I have plenty of time to post this! :o)

I told you yesterday I've been playing around with the Bundle Monster plates and today I'm showing you the second design. I've used the zebra design from BM plate 16.

As my base colour I used OPI Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow, one of my favourite greens. I've stamped with China Glaze OMG. The OMG gives a really great effect because it is holographic, it's a little different from other designs I've done.

Stamping with OMG was quite a trick. You have to be quick with the scraper or else you'll remove bits of the polish and end up with half of a design. I needed to try several times before I had a neat design on my stamp. Although it caused me a bit of trouble I'm very happy with the result, I think it looks awesome! Here's another picture, that is way too light but it shows you the holo like I'm seeing it.

Have you ever stamped with a holographic polish and how did it work out for you?
Have a great tuesday!

Leafs

Hi everyone! I had a nail break couple of days ago and decided to file them all down. I was pretty sad about it but then I remembered I had the Bundle Monster plates lying around and apparently the design are super small. So why not test it with my super short nails?!

Well, they are small. Really small. I don't think they would have fit on my long nails. The Bundle Monster plates have really cute designs and they are a nice addition for the ones who love to play around with Konad and Fauxnad. I started with the leafs pattern on BM plate 19.

My base colour is OPI Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow Suede and I've stamped with China Glaze Cherish. Stamping with the Khromes and Romantiques is great. I like them better than the Konad stamping polishes. After that I put on some flowers from the Essence nail art glitter mix. These are sooo cute! They're blue but they change to lavender when you wiggle your fingers - and of course when you're moving your hand.

I've played a lot with the Bundle Monsters plates today, so you'll be seeing a crapload of these designs flying by, probably so much that I'll still post designs over two weeks from now. Sorry! :o)

My Blog is Half a Year Old - Thanks!

Hey everyone! Yesterday I noticed my blog was half a year old, time goes fast! I started in February after posting on a Dutch board for a while and decided to take the next step in my nail polish addiction. After a few days I gained 10 followers and I couldn't believe someone would actually read what I had to say! Now, a half year later, I'm very grateful for everyone single person that reads me, comments and sends me cute and adorable emails. Blogging is so much more fun with you guys around!

You're all so sweet and generous. Thanks for making blogging such a fun time.

Have a nice day!
