Essie - Sew Psyched with Full Nail Water Decal 'Sweet Rose'

This is my first time using water decals and I'm hooked. It's so easy to do and I think it looks neat! I used the design Sweet Rose today. This set contains 12 decals in various sizes and a little file. I received a piece of paper with instructions, but this tutorial also helped me a lot. For a smooth result it's really important to apply top coat! I applied the water decal over two coats of OPI - Mod About You. I'm wearing Essie - Sew Psyched and studs on the rest of my nails. 

The full nail water decal set costs €1.59 at Djasa (a Dutch webshop).

The studs (gold ones, but I painted them silver) come in a wheel from Born Pretty Store.

Thanks for watching!

Cirque - Cypress

Oh, can you believe how pretty this one is? The weather is nice and sunny here in the Netherlands so I'm enjoying the prismatic shades that where waiting to shine in sunlight. Today I'm showing you Cypress from Cirque. The formula of Cypress was on the thin side, but it applied nicely in three coats. My inspiration for the accent nail was Jane's taped circus nail art. The brown coloured base I used is Becca's Brown from Models Own. I also added a little round stud from Born Pretty Store.

This looks glorious in sunlight. ♥

Cypress is part of Cirque's Objet d'Art collection and is available on the Cirque website.

The stud comes in a wheel from Born Pretty Store, you can find it here.

Squared: Cake & Nails

A new cake inspired nails post, finally! This square shaped cake was for my brother's 28th birthday two weeks ago. (His name is Job and jarige job is a Dutch term for birthday boy.)

I painted most of my nails red with China Glaze - Poinsettia (not colour accurate) and I used My Boyfriend Scales Walls from OPI on the accent nail. As you can see there's no crossword puzzle on my nails, a simple raster design (plate BM-315) turned out to be difficult enough. Black stamping on white is not forgiving, but studs are perfect for hiding little mistakes. ;) Oh, and I'm wearing black french tips for the first time, LOVE them.

The square studs are from Born Pretty Store, you can find them here. They come in a wheel together with a variety of studs ($4.89).

Love Lapis

Today I'm showing you Lapis from Cirque. Blue, glittery and stun-ning! I'm so glad I have a blog where I can share epic nail polishes. Lapis is definitely epic. ♥ It was easy to apply, I'm wearing two coats (on most nails) over two coats of Gosh - Blue Balloon. I added the glittery and silver (China Glaze - Millennium) triangles by using striping tape. As the finishing touch I also added small square studs from Born Pretty Store. I'll be using those studs a lot, love them.

Crossed Ascalon

Yup, I couldn't resist wearing my beloved Ascalon from a england again. I spiced a couple of nails up with a simple cross design. To achieve this look I applied two pieces of tape on the fully dried nail. Then I sponged the centre of the nail using a make-up sponge and a england - Bridal Veil. After removing the tape and applying a generous layer of top coat I added a black stud as the finishing touch.

The stud is from this wheel which contains various silver and gold studs. You can get it for $4,89 at Born Pretty Store.

Iron Studs

How cool are these steel grey stud rhinestones from BornPrettyStore.com? It's nice to wear something different than clear rhinestones! For this mani I applied two coats of Orly - Iron Butterfly on most nails and Essence - Got a Secret on some accent nails. I wanted a complete matte look so I also applied a matte top coat over Got a Secret. Then I added the stud rhinestones. I recommend applying a layer of top coat to seal the studs or you'll lose them within a couple of hours.
