I’m a bit behind on updating my entries for PAA’S Monday Nail Art Challenge, not that I haven’t been doing them, I have… I’ve just gotten behind on my photo editing.  I had to replace my laptop recently and one of the main problems with my old one was that I couldn’t edit more than one or two photos before …

The weather here in the Netherlands has been rather dreary for the last while, and last week my husband deserted me for a few days in London… so it wasn’t hard to find motivation for my latest manicure. My rainy day manicure… perfect for the dark and depressing weather we’ve had over the last while, and suiting to my mood …

Stop the world, I wanna get off!!  I am so incredibly confused right now. Remember my rant about stamping not working? Then how I got a Konad set for my birthday? … and how excited I got when the Konad stamping worked? Well today I saw this post over at Mirannie’s Nails and once again I was wondering why other …

PTOEY! *Spits* Suck it, Essence Stampy Set!  I got me some Konad now and I’m never turning back! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! I stamped, I actually STAMPED! If you are new here and are wondering what all the fuss is about, stamping has been a bit of an issue for me.  The first …

Today is my birthday and boy oh boy do my peeps know what I like!  Especially my husband!  He really threw me for a loop today as he got me the absolute best present I could have ever asked for.  Not only is it something I love, but it’s not something I’d hinted at or even put on a list… …

Ok well if you’ve been reading up until now you’ve probably heard me complain about stamping more than once.  I have the Essence stampy set and image plates and my problem has been that for some reason I’ve always been able to get the smaller designs done just fine, like in this photo: Ok, whatever.. no problem. I got the …

Last week I was in town with a friend and went to Claire’s to see if they had the Mood Polish, but apparently it’s not available in the Netherlands. BOOOO!!  Instead I picked up a few other bottles… one of which is the above red glitter.  I thought it would look nice with the black polish I’d bought there previously.  …

Today I was out running some errands and had to pop into Etos and Kruidvat to peek at their polishes.  I picked up a few Essence products to try them out. The tip guides seemed to work pretty well, except I acted like a big cheapo and tried to use the same one again and again which lead to things …

Anyone who knew me before I started messing around with nails would whoop out with laughter if they saw this.  I was always the least ‘girlie’ person in my group of friends and wearing a skirt was out of the question, which meant that pink nailpolish and SPARKLES was not even within the realm of possibility. Yet, here it is!  …

After removing my acrylics and doing a rather messy manicure to cover it up, I went and got my hands on a proper file and buffer.  I was able to get a lot of the ridges off my nail beds which were totally shredded.  I then painted two coats of Maybelline New York Express Finish Nr. 870 (Blue Sapphire). While …

It was a sad day when I had to remove my acrylic nails.  I wasn’t sure what was waiting for me underneath as the first set I had put on was at an “Asian Nail Farm” where they drilled the bejesus out of my nails. I spent hours soaking them in acetone, I went through an entire bottle!  My nail …
