Inspired On Tumblr; Zebra Nails

* * * Make sure to check out my birthday giveaway here * * *

As you might know; I use Tumblr. Depending on what kind of stuff you're interested in you can follow tumblelogs that like these things too. I'm interested in anything that has to do with nail polish, so I follow nail polish/nail art and that kind of stuff blogs :P

For this mani I was inspired by this picture.  I didn't want to go for an all nude polish so I went for a little bit of holo with Color Club's Love 'Em Leave 'Em. Over that I stamped with the zebra image from image plate m57. (is it a zebra or tiger print? I still don't know... :P)

When that dried I applied a piece of striping tape and painted the left side black. I immediately took off the striping tape, because applying a topcoat or just waiting for it to dry will pull up the sides and maybe take of your polish under it.

Overall I'm kinda happy with how it looked. I'm looking forward to try more stuff that I've seen on Tumblr :)

Day 9 - A Polish That Is Vampy [China Glaze - City Siren]

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

[EDIT: I just found out that my post from Day 8 never posted, while I did schedule it... So I'll post Day 8 tomorrow and Day 10 the day after]

This post is a little later than usual, only like 9 hours, but it's still Friday so I'm on time :) A color that I think is vampy is City Siren from China Glaze. Why? Just because... :P

City Siren is from the Metro Fall collection. You may have noticed that I've used this color a few times before here, here and here.

If you've been following me for a longer time you may remember the matte plus shiny stamping from my Black On Black Nails post.

I'm thinking about doing a comparison between some matte topcoats, because this one is completely different than the Gosh matte topcoat. This one is from Etos :)

What do you think of matte nails with a shiny stamp?

Zombie Fishnet Stockings

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

I couldn't think of a nice name for this :P I thought this would be nice, since I wanted it to be something for Halloween again.

I started with China Glaze High Hopes as my base color. This color is not 100% accurate in any of these pictures, because my camera can't capture it. At the end I'll show you what it actually looked like.

I used Konad image plate m57 again for the fishnet print and again I used Color Club Black for the stamping.

I sponged on the same black color starting from the cuticles up. In real life this actually looked kinda cool, so you could leave it like that if you're going out on Halloween. But if that will do any good to your cuticles and/or nails...

I cleaned up and added a topcoat and I was finished!

And since everything looks nicer when blurred;

And here is how much I had to edit my pics to make High Hopes look a little more like it looks in real life.

Thanks for reading!

EDIT: For this I actually was inspired again on Tumblr. I just found the picture again! Click here! :)

White Tiger Nails

Make sure to check out my giveaway!

So last Monday I went to the zoo. When we were in one of those souvenir shops I saw I small white tiger statue. I didn't buy it, but I did want it on my nails.

I painted my nails in nr. 30 from Miss Sporty. A sheer white. I didn't want to use a harsh white and finally found a use for this one. I got out Konad M57 and stamped the tiger print on my nails. That's where I realized you could also see this as zebra nails...

I decided to put China Glaze's Fairy Dust over top of it, just to try it out :P Fairy Dust looks pretty, but I don't really like it in combination with these nails xD

Thanks for reading!

Tigger Inspired Nails

Hello!

Today a great fail! :P My room is a mess, always have been and always will be. I clean it sometimes and I promise myself to keep it that way, but 2 days later it's a mess again. Now I saw Tigger laying on the floor and it has been there for a long time and I was like; You are easy to create on my nails! Well, if you don't have the right tools, it's never easy and you will see xD

Vandaag een grote fail! :P Mijn kamer is een rotzooi, altijd al geweest en zal altijd zo zijn. Ik ruim soms op en beloof mezelf om het netjes te laten, maar 2 dagen later ligt het weer vol troep. Ik zag Tijgetje op de grond liggen en die lag daar al een tijdje, en ik dacht; Jij bent makkelijk op mijn nagels te maken! Nou, als je de juiste tools niet hebt, is het nooit makkelijk en dat zal je zien xD

Okay, maybe it's not that great to see... But that doesn't matter. It looks ugly anyway :P Instead of Tiggers face it looks like an angry monkey who got a banana smashed in it's face or something. The other nails were simple and actually kinda cute. Just an orange nail polish and Konad image plate M57.

Okee, misschien toch niet zo goed te zien... Maar dat maakt niet uit. Het ziet er toch lelijk uit :P In plaats van Tijgetjes gezicht lijkt het op een boze aap die een banaan in z'n gezicht gesmeten kreeg ofzo. De andere nagels waren simpel en eigenlijk best schattig. Gewoon een oranje nagellak en Konad image plate M57.

There would've been more pictures if I didn't erase them by accident, although I doubt there was even one I could use xD

Er zouden meer foto's zijn als ik ze niet per ongeluk had gewist, maar ik betwijfel of er ook maar 1 bruikbare bij zat xD

Black On Black nails

Hey you!

Today just a picture of my nails with a little bit of Konad (plate m57)! I just painted my nails black and applied a matte topcoat over that. Then I went with the black nailpolish over the image that I wanted and stamped it on my nails. I love it so much! You could do it with another color too of course, but I think with just black it looks the nicest. I can't wait until it's the time of the year where I like to wear darker colors on my nails :)

Vandaag alleen een foto van m'n nagels met wat Konad (plate m57)! Ik heb m'n nagels zwart gelakt en daarover heen een matte topcoat. Met diezelfde zwarte nagellak ging ik over het plaatje dat ik wilde en stempelde het op m'n nagels. Ik vind het zo leuk! Je zou het ook met andere kleuren kunnen doen, maar ik denk dat het met alleen zwart er het leukst uitziet. Ik kan niet wachten tot het de tijd van het jaar is waar ik donkere kleuren wil dragen :)

Gay Pride nails with Konad!

Hello there again!

Today I was supposed to go to the annual Gay Pride in Amsterdam with a friend. It would be my first time and I was super excited about that! We're not gay, but it would still be awesome to be there :P 15 minutes before I would leave to meet my friend at the train station, she texted she couldn't go. She's had a few panic attacks since last year and since I've suffered from that, I could understand. So instead we still hung out and just got a drink on a sunny day here in the Netherlands :)

Vandaag zou ik met een vriendin naar het jaarlijkse Gay Pride in Amsterdam gaan. Het zou m'n eerste keer zijn en had er onwijs veel zin in! We zijn niet lesbisch of iets, maar het zou leuk zijn om er eens te zijn :P 15 minuten voor ik zou vertrekken , sms'te ze dat ze niet kon. Ze heeft het afgelopen jaar weleens paniekaanvallen gehad en omdat ik daar last van heb gehad, snapte ik dat. Daarom gingen we even wat drinken op deze zonnige dag :)

I did my nails last night and didn't really know what colors to use. I was thinking about painting each finger pink, orange, yellow, green and blue (my favorite color combination ever!) and use silver to stamp OR paint my nails silver and stamp with Konad in that combination.

Ik deed m'n nagels gisteravond en wist echt niet wat voor kleuren ik zou gebruiken. Ik dacht eraan om iedere nagel roze, oranje, geel, groen en blauw (mijn favorite kleuren combinatie!) en zilver om te stempelen OF mijn nagels zilver te lakken en stempelen in de netgenoemde kleuren combinatie.

The end result;

Pink with silver! I painted my nails 2 coats of Heli-Yum, also from the Up & Away collection and I used What A Drag (how ironic) from Color Club to stamp. I used image plate M57 for this.

Roze met zilver! Ik lakte mijn nagels met 2 laagjes Heli-Yum, ook van de Up & Away collectie en ik gebruikte What A Drag (hoe ironisch) van Color Club om te stempelen.

Heli-Yum is a really deep shade of pink, which looks most of the time red to me. On the picture it does look pink, because I edited it to the color I see when I look at the bottle, cause then I do see a deep pink color :P

Heli-Yum is een diepe kleur roze, die voor mij het meest op rood lijkt. Op de foto lijkt het wel roze, omdat ik het zo bewerkt in de kleur die ik in het flesje zie, want dan zie ik wel een diepe kleur roze :P

What A Drag is a nice silver and glittery color. When you would wear it on it's own you would need like 2 or maybe 3 coats. I did use it to stamp with and I think it did a great job!

What A Drag is een mooie zilveren en glitterige kleur. Als je het gewoon zo op je nagels zou dragen heb je 2 of misschien 3 laagjes nodig. Ik gebruikte het wel om te stempelen en vind dat het best goed gelukt is!

Have a nice weekend! :)
