NOTD: SATC nails




Hey guys,

This weekend Mister Man is away working, so all of the mice are dancing on the tables.

Or in other words: there's a Sex & The City marathon on my TV ;)

After the first two seasons I felt so inspired I had to paint my nails pink and then the (old) New York Skyline.

And the shoes are inspired by... well, I guess it goes without saying ;)

I'm really pleased with how this mani turned out - now I just have to figure out what to do on the other hand - since I can't write the girls' names, I think it's just gonna be pink - maybe with a skyline as well.

The pink base colour is Models Own Pastel Pink, and all of the black is painted free hand in black acrylic lacquer.

The hearts are made of China Glaze Dance Baby and with OPI Teenage Dream over to make them sparkle. You need some sparkle when doing a SATC-mani, right?












As I said, I really like how this turned out :)
I'm a Carrie fan... Right now I'm at season 5 - I think that is my favourite... This or season 6 - I mean, the last two episodes in Paris... perhaps the best two of the whole series.

Who's your favourite of the girls - and do you have a favourite season or episode?

Matching nails and shoes


Hi guys!

A few weeks ago I was invited to a party. It was Mister Man's nephew's 15th Birthday, so I knew it wasn't gonna be anything wild - and so I wore a pretty white dress with my favourite shoes (9 cm heels!)

Since my dress was plain white, I wanted to do something special for my nails. I was thinking about a crazy colour to spark things up a bit, but decided to go with a matching solution instead.

I'm very pleased with the result, and it was noticed by all the women at the party ;)

I love the gold and black laces together, and wanted to find something similar from a stamping plate. Which I did with Bundle Monster plate BM20.

The gold polish is GOSH - Gold.




Natural light, shadow:




Artificial light + flash (so a little on the yellow side :/ )






Tutorial: 3 x wild animal print nail art


Hi guys!

I saw these amazing wild animal print nails on one of my favourite bloggers, Leslie from Nail Polish Art Addiction, and decided to give them a go myself.

I absolutely LOVE the result! Ye be warned: It DOES take a lot of patience and time to do these. But they're totally worth it, I'd say. Though I won't be doing them again for a long time ;)

On the other hand they're very simple to do - anyone should be happy to try this design.

Anyway, look through this page before you decide on not doing them? :)
