Kings Day 2015

Hi Everyone,

Last Monday the 27th was Kings Day (I still want to say Queens Day lol) been so used to say that. Sunday night it was Kings night...that usually means a night full of parties!!! And Monday it was Kings Day (fleamarkets, live music etc). I was not feeling 100% but did went to a local bar to see some live music. 

Instead of a bright orange base like I usually do I went with a black base (now that I have Mundo polishes that stamp great over black haha) :) And ofcourse did used orange our national color and the colors of our red, white and blue flag. Some Dutch mills, little crowns, tulips and ofcourse beer wink-;) 

I used Winstonia Store W105 for the beer, W215 for part of the crowns and W218 for the mills. Stamped with Mundo de Uñas 28 neon orange, 51 tulip mixed with Konad red, 1 white, 30 neon blue mixed with 5 turquoise, 18 silver and 46 mustard. The base is Sinful Colors Black on Black.

Thanks for reading!

Diwali Festival and Happy B-day Bob

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow is the Diwali Festival and it is also the birthday of the sweet Roberta over at Bob Plays with Polish. She asked on her blog and facebook if people wanted to join her Birthday Party and do a Diwali mani. I always love learning more about other cultures. So of course I also wanted to do a Diwali mani for her birthday.

Diwali also known as Deepavali and the "festival of lights", is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year.The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.

I googled images and read about it and this is what I came up with. I was inspired by all the candles and the red/orange color tones.

A gradient base with Kleancolor metallic red and metallic orange. Stamped the swirly image with Konad SN yellow and XL plate O and stamped the candles with Konad SN white from Winstonia W215 (later colored over the candles with black, blue orange and yellow).

And another picture.

I forgot to take a picture of just the gradient base..sorry.

Happy Birthday Roberta! Hope you have a lovely day and may all your wishes come true.

And for those who celebrate Diwali..I wish you all a Happy Diwali Festival :) It sounds like a beautiful thing.

Thanks for reading.

Kingsday (Koningsdag)

Hi Everyone,

This weekend we celebrated our first Kingsday formerly known as Queensday/Q-day here in Holland. So that meant ofcourse Dutch nails. 

Orange is our national color so a really bright neon orange base (hard to capture), red/white/blue tulips in the colors of our flag.The crowns because it is Kingsday and a mill for that little extra Dutch touch hahah.  

I love orange but not in combination with red/white/blue. But still I do it every year to support my country.  

Base Impala Tech over China Glaze FYI, stamped with Konad SN black, SN red, SN white and SN blue and Winstonia W215 and W218.

Some more pics with different lighting.

They were really bright orange, I loved how bright there were.

I guess I'll be doing more orange nails with red/white/blue this Summer during the World Cup soccer.

Thanks for reading.
