Pink Stripes [100th post!]

95 days, 99 posts, ±230 comments and 245 followers later I present to you... my 100th post!

It was easier to get to 100 posts than I expected and those days fly by! When I hit 25 followers I was so happy! To thank everybody I had a giveaway, not thinking so many people would start following me!

I wanted this post to be more than just a simple swatch for the Untrieds month, so here I have something I did with the color I wore today. You will find out what color pink this is later tonight in my Untrieds post.

I don't have anything on my middle finger because the nail broke a few days ago and it would look weird next to the others :P But it's nice as an accent nail. My thumb is just pink too :)

I'm going for the next 100 posts! Keep me motivated with comments, because I love comments! :)

Anyone else watching the EMA's right now? It's still the red carpet show, but when the main show comes on I'll be switching back and forth between the EMA's and another show :P

Cupcake nails + How To

* * * Make sure to check out my giveaway! * * *

It's not my birthday yet, that's in 2 months, but I did want to try cupcake nails. I've been wanting to try these since forever! Yesterday I ordered some dotting tools at dashicabeautyshop.nl and I got them today, so decided to give it a try!

Usually when I see cupcake nail art I see no base color. I didn't want that so I painted my nails black with a red and green glitter in it. This is Catrice - I Wear My Sunglasses At Night. The pink tips are Gosh - Neon Baby and the purple tip is Catrice - Lucky In Lilac.

It's up to you what colors you want to use for it of course :)

Let the tips dry and add some stripes to the tip color. I used China Glaze - Something Sweet on the pink tips and used Neon Baby again for the purple tip.

For the icing I didn't want to use just a plain white so I went for Color Club - Coastal Creme which I thought was perfect for it!

I had no idea what to use for the sprinkles so I almost applied some glitter over it until I decided to see if my dotting tool could grab the big glitters from Essence - Time For Romance. It worked! So I used those for the sprinkles.

That's it! It was so easy! I actually thought it was going to be really hard to do, but it wasn't.

Oh, I like comments, so please leave something :)

Hello Kitty with dots

I have no idea how to name this nail art :P

In my everyday life with nail polish I hardly try to do nail art, but I do wanna try and show it on my blog. That way I feel like a less boring blog with just my swatches :P

I was inspired by this picture :) I first tried this a few times with Sugar High as my base color, but it would get messy every single time! So I used Ahoy! from China Glaze as my base color and the pink dots, the white is Snow Motion from Catrice and the black is Black from Color Club.

The picture above shows an almost perfect pinky finger, but that's just fake :P I edited it a little in Photoshop. The picture below is what is really looked like. I did wait for like 30 minutes, if not longer, to apply my topcoat.

I love the kitty! She looks like she's cold and that's so cute for some reason! xD

Thanks for reading again :)

Day 7 - Black & White Nails

Yes, I skipped day 6 :P I'll just go straight to day 7, black & white nails!

An accent nail! I like... But not when it's black and white, because the contrast is so big! Since I found this a little bit too boring I decided to use my newest Konad image plate, the m60 :)

That's a little better! I think I would wear this out when I painted all my nails black and stamp with a white polish on that ring finger.

Since I didn't had the chance to show you the Golden Rose Scale Effect #9 polish I thought this would be the time. I tried it a few times on a pink nail polish, but it was hard to capture with my camera. On black it just looks amazing! I can't wait to buy more of these!

And another angle... In the first picture with this nice flakie you see more like orange, red and green. In this second one you see more yellow. I love it!

Thanks for reading,

Day 3 - Yellow Nails

Day 3 of the challenge!! :) Yellow, a color I like to see on others, but wouldn't wear myself. I only have 2 yellows and this is one of them. Essence's Yellow Mellow. The color of a cute little chickie!

Just to change it up a little I wanted to try one of the polishes I bought today. This is a metallic gold from Casuelle. I'm not familiar with this brand, but the polish is okay. Opaque in 2 coats and not streaky.
This combo is a bit of a fail though :P Those colors just do not match!

How To: Striped Mani

Hey you!

Today I'm gonna show you a striped mani, but just on 1 nail. I like accent nails so on 1 hand it's my ring finger and on my other hand my index finger.

Vandaag laat ik een gestreepte mani zien, maar alleen op 1 nagel. Ik hou echt van 'accent' nagels, dus op mijn ene hand is dat mijn ringvinger en op m'n andere hand mijn wijsvinger.

Above picture shows you the result. As the title says it was my first try and to be honest; It's not that bad! :P

Hierboven zie je het resultaat. Zoals de titel zegt was het mijn eerste poging en om eerlijk te zijn; Het is niet zo slecht! :P

Three days ago I painted my nails in the well known color For Audrey from China Glaze. My mom doesn't know anything about nail polish or the names or whatever, but she loves this color! xD

Drie dagen geleden lakte ik mijn nagels in de bekende kleur For Audrey van China Glaze. M'n moeder weet niks van nagellak of de namen ervan of iets dergelijks, maar ze vind deze kleur geweldig! xD

I think this polish was opaque in 2 layers, but it could also be 3 layers. Anywho, today I thought I could try this striped mani over this color anyways since it wasn't that chipped. Which is weird, because I did work all day Wednesday and only my index finger had some obvious chips.

I got my striping tape out and applied that on my nail.

Volgens mij was de lak dekkend in 2 laagjes, maar het kunnen er ook 3 zijn. Vandaag bedacht ik me dat ik deze gestreepte mani net zo goed over deze nagellak kon doen, want de nagellak was niet zo erg aan het chippen. Wat trouwens raar is, want ik heb woensdag wel de hele dag gewerkt en alleen m'n wijsvinger was wat beschadigd.

Ik pakte mijn striping tape erbij en plakte dat over mijn nagel.

A nice combination would be blue and grey, maybe because of the rainy weather, so I got my favorite AND first bought nail polish and applied that. I used 2 coats of Catrice's  London's Weather Forecast.

Een leuke combinatie leek blauw en grijs, misschien door het regenachtige weer, dus pakte ik mijn favoriete EN eerst gekochte nagellak en lakte die eroverheen. Ik gebruikte 2 laagjes van Catrice's London's Weather Forecast.

After about 10-15 minutes I slowly pulled off the tape. I did apply a fast drying topcoat after I applied the tape. I was kinda scared to take it off, but the result wasn't that bad. Just a little damage at the top of the nail, which you can't really see on the picture :P

Na zo'n 10-15 minuten trok ik de tape er langzaam vanaf. Ik had trouwens wel een sneldrogende topcoat op gedaan nadat ik de tape opplakte. Ik vond het een beetje eng om de tape eraf te trekken, maar het resultaat was niet zo slecht. Een kleine beschadiging aan de bovenkant van mijn nagel, wat je niet goed ziet op de foto :P

 I hope you liked to see this and thanks for reading!

Ik hoop dat je het leuk vond om te zien en bedankt voor het lezen!
