Time for romance nail art

Includes press sample  

I'm in the mood for romanc---- nope. I can't say it. Just give me your roses & chocolates and go home :-p

I started with a base of A England Nocturne that I got from Color4Nails. I painted the design with acrylic paint, and added various glitters from Twinkled T on top of a wet top coat. Maybe I shouldn't have done the lips, but I was caught up going with the flow :-p

Glitter bug nail art

Includes press samples 

I have a soft spot for insects... well actually for all animals, but more than 4 legs don't scare me off :-p I keep painting them in my nail art and the 3D-ness of this one makes it even more awesome!

The delicate base is A England Symphony in Green and Gold that I got from Color4Nails. It's exquisite!

I painted the scenery with acrylic paint, and only painted the bug without filling it its shield. I mixed some Tealquila glitter from TwinkledT with clear 3D sculpting gel. Such a cool effect!!!

Crabby nail art

Includes press sample  

Why am I feeling crabby?? I have to stop being so shellfish. Ghehehehehe XD

I used the gorgeous Picture Polish Clouds (I got this from Color4Nails) as a base and put some What's Up Nails Sapphire Confetti (round glitter, yay!) on top of that with the help of my Masura Vitamin Top gel top coat.

I painted a crab and some of his living environment with acrylic paint, then finished it off with a matte top coat. I think it's so cute and colorful, it can go straight into a kid's room!

Glitter sunflower nail art

Includes press samples 

It's August already, can you believe it?? The ultimate summer symbol, for me, is the sunflower!

My beautiful sky blue base is A England Symhony in Blue & Silver that I got from Color4Nails. I painted the sunflowers with acrylic paint and added a dollop of glitter at the heart of each flower, as if there are real seeds in them. For this, I used a mix of two TwinkledT glitters: Holondaise Sauce (a gold holo glitter) and Holo is the New Black (a black glitter with a more subtle holo sparkle).

And so, glitter sunflowers were born! What's your ultimate summer symbol?









I received A England Symphony in Blue & Silver and TwinkledT Holondaise Sauce & Holo is the New Black loose glitters as a press sample. Opinions expressed are 100% my own and not influenced in any way other than the quality of the product itself.  

Stained glass mermaid nail art

Includes press sample 

Nothing 'fishy' about this, just plain ol' glitter!!

This was so easy to make you'll pee your pants. All I did was make a base of Twinkled T Holocopter loose glitters, paint a pattern on it using acrylic paint aaaaand colored it all in using markers (containing alcohol ink)! That's all!

I really, really, REALLY liked just coloring in the design, it felt so easy and enjoyable like being a little kid again! I got my markers from Action, a store here in the Netherlands. They strongly remind me of the Copic markers I used to have for my graphic design studies.

Showbiz bee nail art

Includes press sample

There ain't no bee-znis like showbee-znis! This bee is just such a sucker for attention :-p

The shape of these Twinkled T Holo at Me hex glitters reminds me of a honeycomb pattern, so naturally I *had* to try it! I've done bees a couple of times before though so this had to be something unusual, something funky. Mission: achieved!

I placed the Twinkled T glitters on a wet gel top coat using my Winstonia Fine Lines brush and after curing, I added the orange lines. This makes it look like the honeycombs are 3D ;-)

The bee is completely freehand. Yup, surprised me a little bit too. I really thought this while design was going to look like crap but I have to say I kinda like it!

Glitter overdose nail art

Includes press sample 

C'mon... you know you want to... all the cool kids are doin' it ;-) I'm talking about GLITTER, BABY!

Yassss!!! I used a bunch of loose holographic glitters from Twinkled T, aptly named Holowood Hills, Holondaise Sauce, Holoday Inn, Tealquila & Holobae. Gotta love the genius behind those names ;-) I applied them onto the tacky layer of a cured gel top coat, easy peasy!

I painted the black with good ol' acrylic paint, *before* adding the glitter. The whole look was inspired by a really cool body glitter/dress by @gogetglitter. Seriously, check them out. They have the weirdest, coolest body glitter pics!

It looks kind of strange on nails but also really cool in a way? I think? I'm still getting used to it :-p

Royal peacock nail art

Includes press sample 

I was lucky enough to see a male peacock from up close recently... a little *too* close, I had to step aside while he shook his feathers and ran after his ladyfriend!

My greyish-with-a-purple-gleam base polish is A England Carnation Lily Lily Rose that I got from Color4Nails. It's the perfect backdrop for my peacock! I painted him with acrylic paint and added a twist with some Moyra Glitter Shine powder no. 26, which is a really fine royal blue glitter that I got from Nailland Hungary.

I was hesitant at first and took pictures before adding the glitter, but it was SO worth it because it adds so much depth and sparkle to my peacock!

Enchanted night nail art

Includes press sample 

I wish I was a unicorn... so I could stab people with my head :-p

I used Serum No. 5 Awesome Blossom, Laven-daringly Bright and Wisteria-ously Bright for the base and added some Moyra No. 2 Diamond Shine to a wet top coat. This is really fine glitter that I got from Nailland Hungary and it shows the base color through the glitter. It has a blue shine and I really want to try it over black!!

The enchanted night lights up, revealing the silhouettes of our magical creatures <3 Purple glow is notoriously un-bright (yes I just invented that) but I was lucky to capture it! Maybe unicorns and fairies really do bring good luck!

Glitter doodle nail art

Includes press sample 

A doodle. I do doodle. You, too! You do doodle too! Somehow the colors of the glitter gradient reminds me of those ice creams with the waffles on both sides... And it has been HOT this week!

I didn't really know what to do on my nails, except that it should be something sparkly :) I started doodling on top of a 3 color glitter gradient made with SuperChic Lacquer Material Girl, Skin Tight & Own It! and this is what it became!

The doodles are made with acrylic paint and my Roubloff 00 detail brush, as always :-p

Ahhh and major bonus points if you caught the Buffy reference in this blog post!

Birthday cocktail nail art

Includes press sample  

Oh boy this cocktail turned out so bad XD My birthday was great though! Nice and quiet but a lot of fun, it was the perfect birthday for me :)

The base is SuperChic Lacquer On Point and I made a gradient using the OPI Color Paints. The bubbles are easy if you know how! Just water down some acrylic paint, paint a dot and carefully suck up the liquid in the center of the bubble. I like to use a tissue but I've also seen it done with a dry brush or a cotton swab.

Gerbera nail art

Includes press sample 

I don't usually paint flowers, except for when I do. And when I do, I add glitter! And details!!! And glitter!

The glittery sparkly base (which is way better IRL) is SuperChic Lacquer She Wears The Pants. At first I thought it was black, but it's kind of purplish too and it keeps confusing me :-p

I painted the flower with acrylic paint and my Roubloff 00 detail brush.... like always. I swear I'm not boring and predictable!
