Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge - 'Something Tropical'

By // No comments:
For this weeks GOT Polish Challenge, the theme was 'something Tropical'.
I made a gradient inspired by a tropical sunset with flowers and studs.
It did not come out the way I wanted it to, but this is my take on this weeks challenge:

First I painted my nails white, when it dried I used a makeup sponge for the gradient. All polished used are several years old, as is the point with this challenge. After the gradiënt dried I stamped flowers on it with a Konad plate and Konad black stamping polish and added a bright blue stud on each flower.

In real life it looked amazing, trust me! The colors looked much brighter, the gradiènt looked smooth and the stamping looked great. and then came the macro-shot :-(
I hate the macro-shot for ruining my tropical mani.

Despite how my mani showed up on the pictures, I do like the gradient. I will do more attempts to get it perfect.

So this was my tropical manicure for this week. I'm not happy with how the pictures turned out, but still the colors look nice together.

I'm really looking forward to next weeks challenge, the theme for may 1st is flowers and I have some great decals I want to use for it!


Thank you so much for watching!!!

Party-nails with Jindie Nails - 'Eclectric' (glitter gradient over pink)

By // 1 comment:
This week I used Misa 'Party in the Masquerade' for the Golden Oldie Thursday Polish Challenge. On Friday my friends and I went to a party (called '30-Something' in Tivoli Utrecht) and I decided to use this bright color topped with Jindie Nails 'Eclectric' for my colorful party nails!

Jindie Nails Eclectric is a clear-based confetti topper. It is very densely packed with every size, shape and color matte glitter. Round, hexe, square, bars, moons, stars...and many more.
Just look at the bottle in the picture above to see how much fun this polish is!


Jindie Nails is one of my favorite Indie brands, Jen has a creative mind wich results in some very special polishes!


I just dabbed on the glitter near my cuticles and placed some of the glitter with the brush. After that I did a second coat which I pushed a bit down the nail to get the gradient look.
Finished with a small neon yellow stud at the tip of my nails.

This is how my nails looked at the party!!!
Okay, this is a cellphone shot while dancing with my friends, so not the best quality, but look at the bright neon and how the glitter glows in the blue light! It is safe to say that Jindie nails Eclectric is one great partypolish! 

And a picture of the '30- Something' party in Tivoli so you can see where I took my nails out dancing :-)

Thank you very much for watching my party-nails :-)
Enjoy this Easter Sunday!

Misa - Party in the Masquerade

Misa Party in the Masquerade before I added some glitter.
A pretty neon pink that covers well in 2 coats, but I did three for perfect opacity\


This is not steaky and self levelling.
I especially adore this color for my summer pedis!!!
Misa is one of my favorite brands ever!

Stay tuned for the pistures after adding glitter to this, it was such a fun mani!

Thank you for watching!
Happy Easter everybody!

Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge with Misa 'Party in the Masquerade' and Gosh 'Rainbow'

By // No comments:
Pink is not my favorite color, unless it's a holo, glitter or neon (or preferably all of the above). For april 17th the GOT theme is Hot Pink, so I grabbed one of the best pink polishes I own: Misa Party in the Masquerade.


I actually wanted to do a totally different nailart, but I couldn't find my striping tape when I sat down to decorate the pink polish. So I just did whatever came to mind and this is the result. I'm not happy with it, but at least it photographed well enough to get some decent pictures :-)

With my limited nailart skills (and lack of patience and time to perfect them), I'm now looking at some very nice stampingpates from Dashica, check out her Infinity plates, how can you possibly choose just a few????
I think the weekly challenge will be less of a challenge with these plates!
For now, this is all I could come up with for the 'nailart' of this week. This challenge is good for my non-existing nailart skills, so the only way is up from here!
But I think the flakies from Gosh really saved the day in this mani!

Make sure to check out the other amazing ladies who are also showing you their take on Hot Pink this week! Links below!

Jade - Mystic Gold ( Holográfico)

By // 3 comments:
A simple and quick mani I did last week: Jade Mystic gold with a small pink neon stud.
I didn't want to spend alot of time on polishing and doing cleanup, so I chose a polish that kind of matches my skin, dries quickly and added a fun pink stud so it looked like I made an effort (but we know I really didn't) :-)

Color
A darker gold with pretty holographic particles.
I made most of the pictures in direct sunlight so the color might seem brighter than it really is, because of the sunlight and the bright holo.

Application
The polish is very thin, but builds up nicely after the second coat.
If you aren't going to make pictures with macroshot, you probably only need two coats.

I received alot of compliments on this quick and easy mani.
And I only spent 10 minutes on doing my nails! So I might try this mani again and again with different colors :-)


This brand Jade can be bought from Llarowe, I believe it is a permanent collection (but I don't know for sure). The next one on my wishlist is a yellow holographic Jade, wich I hope to buy real soon!

Thank you for watching!
I hope you have a great day! 

Love,

Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge - Coral

By // 2 comments:
While scrolling through all the beautiful pictures on Instagram I noticed someone mentioning a GOT Polish Challenge (can't remember on whose IG account I've seen this), which means Golden Oldie Thursday Polish Challenge. Hmmmm, interesting, what does it mean????

After a few clicks I found out this is a weekly nailart challenge in wich you are supposed to use your 'golden oldies' (polishes over a year old, preferably worn before). Well HELLO, have you seen my helmer? Drawers full of polishes that fit this 'golden oldie' label! 
Only trouble is... I suck at nailart, big time.
But I found out, it doesn't have to be very complicated, it is all for fun and to get to wear those old polishes again (or dust off the old untrieds).
Sooooooooo here is my first contribution to the Golden Oldie Thursday Polish Challenge

April 10th - Coral

Coral. Hmmm, I used Wikipedia to help me find a coral polish from my stash, because I didn't know exactly which of my polishes are officially called coral. 
My good old Herôme - Marrakech (from 2011) matched what wiki says is the color coral.

My 'elaborate' nailart (winkwink) is done by placing glitter and stars on some nails.
Because Wiki also said that the complementary color of coral is teal, I decided to use teal as the accent color in this mani.


So I really like this challenge, it's only once a week and it does not have difficult themes like: 'paint a Van Gogh' on your nails. They just give you a color or a theme and you can do anything you like with that as long as your polish is over a year old. 

Want to know what is coming in the next weeks? Check out this picture:
The GOT Polish Challenge came from the creative mind of Debbie 'the Crumpet': http://www.the-crumpet.com/2014/01/got-polish-new-challenge-for-2014.html 

I'm going to use this great Challenge to make myself blogging more and get to know some of the amazing bloggers thate are also participating in this GOT Polish Challenge.
