*cute cat alert!* OPI with Konad panther print and my own helpful blogging-'panther'

By // 4 comments:
My collegue Suus became a polishaddict very fast. She started with borrowing my China Glaze at the beginning of this year, but now I can borrow her nailstuff. Last week I tested her brand new Konad plate M57.

Mijn collega Suus is in een razendsnel tempo een nagellakverslaafde geworden. aan het begin van het jaar leende ze nog mijn China Glaze en nu kan ik zelfs nagellakdingen van haar lenen. Vorige week leende ik haar nieuwe Konad plaat M57.
For the basecolor I used OPI - You Don't Know Jacques and stamped with China Glaze - 2030.

Voor de basiskleur gebruikte ik OPI - You Don't Know Jacques en ik heb gestempeld met China Glaze - 2030.
This is my second attempt to do Konad, the first time I used flowers from plate M3 and ended up with alot of half flowers. This time it was less difficult and the pattern is very forgiving. I had to wipe 3 nails clean and stamp over it again, on these macro-shot pictures this is still a bit visible, but it wasn't in real life. I wore this mani for 4 days.

Dit is mijn tweede poging met Konad, de eerste keer gebruikte ik bloemetjes van plaat M3 en had uiteindelijk een boel halve bloemetjes op mijn nagels. Deze keer ging het veel beter en dit patroontje kan wel een paar foutjes verbergen. Ik heb van 3 nagels het patroontje moeten afvegen en opnieuw moeten stempelen, op deze macto-shot foto's is dat nog wel te zien, maar in het echt zag je er niets van. Ik heb deze mani 4 dagen gedragen.
I really like these full nail designs from Konad, It has such a great effect and there are sooo many possiblitities.

Ik vind deze nagelvullende designs van Konad echt erg leuk, ze geven een geweldig effect aan je nagels en er zijn eindeloos veel mogelijkheden.
And I wanted to show you how I'm always blogging with my cat Donder ( Thunder ) in my lap. These pictures are made when I was blogging last week, but he does it every time, even now.

Het leek me leuk om jullie eens te laten zien hoe ik altijd aan het bloggen ben met mijn kat Donder in mijn schoot. Deze foto's zijn gemaakt toen ik vorige week aan het bloggen was, maar hij doet dit altijd, ook nu dus.
At this moment he is laying on his back like a baby in my lap, purring and snoring at the same time and has one paw hanging on the collar of my sweater. I have to type over his head which is leaning against my laptop and sometimes I give him a kiss on his paw or rub his head.

Op dit moment ligt hij op zijn rug, als een babytje in mijn schoot, hij spint en snurkt tegelijk en hij heeft één pootje aan de kraag van mijn sweater hangen. Ik moet over zijn hoofd heen typen en af en toe geef ik hem een kusje op zijn poot of aai ik hem over zijn hoofd.
Blogging is quality time for me and Donder. His sister Lilith thinks it's just boring as hell, she's my little Diva; she doesn't like anything that doesn't have her in the centre of attention. She is laying stretched out on my diningtable right now, waiting for me and Donder to finish blogging and giving her the attention that she deserves.

Bloggen is echt quality time voor Donder en mij. Zijn zus Lilith vindt het echt te saai voor woorden, ze is een kleine Diva die het liefst in het middelpunt van de aandacht staat. Dus ze ligt nu uitgestrekt op de eettafel ons te bekijken en wachten tot we klaar zijn met bloggen en ze weer alle aandacht krijgt die ze verdient.
So now you know how I'm blogging. Not very practical, my leg is asleep and tingling, but it is very cosy with my cat in my lap.

Zo, nu weten jullie hoe ik altijd zit te bloggen. Het is niet heel handig, mijn been slaapt en tintelt, maar het is wel heel erg gezellig!
Thank you again for reading!
I really appreciate you visiting my blog!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Hema nr 79 and Thunder the Helpful Swatching Cat

This weekend I wanted to swatch a polish for you that I own for a very long time but haven't shown you yet. I like it very much and my cat Azrael aka Donder ( = Thunder in Dutch ) likes it also...more about this after the review.

Dit weekend wilde ik een nagellak voor jullie swatchen die ik al een hele tijd heb maar nog nooit aan jullie heb laten zien. Ik vind 'm erg mooi en mijn kater Azrael aka Donder vond 'm ook mooi...meer hierover na de review.
Kleur
Aubergine met shimmer, het is een donkere kleur, maar door de shimmer licht de kleur op en lijkt de kleur nooit zwart.

Color
Eggplant with shimmer, it's a very dark color, but the shimmer lights the polish up and it never looks black.
Applicatie
De lak is heel erg dun, dus ik draag 4 lagen voor een gedekt resultaat, maar verder is het een fijne lak.

Application
The polish is very thin, so I'm wearing 4 coats for opacity, but other than that it's a great polish.
( Yes there are bubbles on my nails. This is not the polish' fault, it's very hot and humid in Holland the past few weeks and layering 4 coats of polish on my warm sweaty fingers probably made the wonderful bubble-effect)

Hier zie je de lak met flits, zo zie je de shimmer beter.
Here you have the polish with flah, it shows the shimmer better this way. En wie kwam er nieuwsgierig kijken toen ik foto's aan het maken was op de bank? Ja het is mijn lieve Donder. Hoi Donder!
And who came snooping around when I was taking pictures on the couch? Yes, it's my dear Thunder. Hi Thunder!
Miauw. Hey mammie, wat ben je aan het doen?
Meow. Hey mommy, watcha doing?
Jammie, restjes handcreme op je duim...
Nom nom, there's some handlotion left on your thumb...
Ik wacht hier wel tot je klaar bent met die stinkende onzin en weer alle aandacht voor mij hebt.
I just sit and wait here untill you are done with this silly smelly stuff and all the attention goes back to me.
Bedankt voor het kijken!
Thank you for looking!
Meoooooooowww

Tag: 10 things that make me happy

By // 4 comments:
A little while ago the lovely Karin from Romika's Nails tagged me for Ten Things that Make Me Happy.
This is such a nice tag and I like that I now have to think about all the things that me me happy so I can choose ten of them. Thinking about things that make me happy already makes me happy! Thank you so much for that Karin!

Here is my list of Ten Things that Make Me Happy
( ofcourse these are in random order and the content of this list can change faster than I change my mani's, there are so many things tht make me happy, I had a hard time choosing only ten )

1. All the people I love. My mother, best friends, boyfriend and ofcourse my sister, they are all wonderful exraordinary persons who make me happy and make my life complete.

2. My lovely cats. A house without cats is not my home. I have two Maine Coons, Azrael and Lilith. Unfortunately my first Maine Coon Lucifer passed away 15 months ago, I still miss him. Azrael is his son, 6 year old, HUGE red boy of 11 kilo (24 lbs). Lilith is new to my home, she's mine since two weeks, 1 year old, very slender gray-black girl of max 3 kilo (8 lbs). Can talk about them for hours, days... so I'll stop now so I can start with nr 3

3. The sun. Oohhh how I love the sun. I love how she feels on my skin, how she makes everything ( and everyone ) look better, she gives me tons of energy and she makes me happy. I especially love the sunny day's I can wear my Ipanema flipflops ( yes flipflops, either you love them or you despise them, ) and show off my bright coloured toenails.

4. My Lowlands-tickets. An hour after I bought my Lowlandstickets it was on the news that the tickets were sold out in a record of time! 60.000 tickets sold in two weeks and there is no line-up yet! I'm so lucky! For the people who don't know Lowlands: it's the biggest 3-day outdoor festival in the Netherlands.

5. My beautiful home. In december 2008 after a very long relationship I moved to my own home. It's a place where I feel happy and at ease. Everything in it has been chosen and bought by me or with the help of people I love. I'm a proud princess in my own little castle.
6. Shopping, especially Sale-shopping. Shopping is great, I enjoy the entire experience and I love it even more when there is discount involved. There's something about knowing you paid (at least) half of the original price, it doesn't feel like you are spending money, no, you saved money!

7. Lazy Sunday. I work full-time, after work I often meet with friends, go to the gym, go to the bar, etc. On sunday I love doing nothing. In the winter I like to spend my Sundays watching movies or play bordgames with the BF, polishing my nails etc. Just stay in home. In the summer I love hanging in the park and have a picknick, have a stroll in the city, doing nothing special but enyoying my freetime.

8. Laughing. Who doesn't enjoy a good laugh? I love to laugh, to have fun with people and an innocent little prank every now and then ( like painting the BF's toes hotpink when he falls asleep ). I can laugh until the tears run down my cheeks. If that doesn't make me happy, I don't know what will.

9. Food and drinks. If possible both at the same time. I enjoy eating with friends, going out to a restaurant or when my BF has prepared a nice meal for me. And with food goes a fine wine, or cocktails, or a beer, or all of them yes, I indulge often in food and drinks.

10. Everyone who reads this. Yes, you make me happy. I'm talking to you. I'm just a girl who likes to talk alot and has a passion for nailpolishes. In this blog I can combine these two and there are actually people who I can share this with. I'm so glad you are here to read my stories and watch the polishes I'm wearing. I have over 50 followers now, thats amazing. Some of you even leave comments to share your opinions with me. That's amazing. That makes me happy.

So here you have it, the ten things that make me happy at this moment.

And I tag the following people to share their Ten Things That Make You Happy.
I'm sorry to bother you if you were already tagged...I did my best to choose bloggers who weren't.

Crystaliciouss
Colourvictim
Nail-licious
Tips to Toes
My Kinda MakeUp

I posted the entire list in English because If I had to do it in both English and Dutch I'd be typing till Chrismas :-)

Hopefully you enjoyed this happy post. Thank you so much for reading!
