Your own fingerprint on top of your nails!
I'm an night person, I can stay awake for hours and be busy till late. A few days ago I was awake late and I was just chilling in my room. I was actually getting ready to go to bed. And somehow a idea popped in my head, I can't remember what I was thinking about and how I got this idea, but I couldn't wait to try it to see if it worked. The idea I had was the following: Use some acrylic paint, paint your nails white, cover the back of your right finger with the acrylic paint (if you're painting the left hand) and when the white polish almost dried push your finger coated in a acrylic paint on the finger and Ta-Da! your fingerprint on your nails!
At first I thought that the acrylic paint would just be a big smoosh on the nail. But it actually worked! I tried some different colors on the white polish. Some were better than others. If you want to re-create this manicure, you get the best result with a red or blue acrylic paint. Yellow and green totally didn't worked for me. But try out what works and looks the best for you.
It's a really nice effect on the nails. And because I used acrylic paint, you can easily wash the paint of your fingers with some water. A super fast and super easy design!
I wish I discovered this idea earlier, because I think this is a perfect nailart for halloween. Better next year ;)
You don't need a lot of polishes/acrylic paint for this manicure but the polishes I used are listed below:
If you feel inspired by this look and recreate it, I would love to see what you did! If you have instagram, just use the hashtag #dutchnailss and I will see your design! :D

Sweet, happy and pink smiley faces!
I made these a while back, didn't liked the result and decided not to post them online. After a few times looking at the pictures of this mani I changed my mind. I'm still not really happy about the endresult, but hey I'm not perfect and my nails arent either ;)
I'm from the Netherlands and when I started this blog I wrote all the blogs in dutch. At that time I made a smiley face how to, with step by step photo's. And now my blog is in english I wanted to add a video tutorial! Just because I find seeing someone actually painting her nails easier than copying a design from a photo.
The polishes I used are

Mix 'n Match
Using a small amount of scottish tape, a make up sponge and a small dottingtool I made this look. I really liked the way this mani turned out! I had a idea in my head to use the scottish tape and the make up sponge to make a design on all my nails. But when I finished this on my nails, I didn't liked the result. I don't know if it was because I only used black and white polishes, or that I didn't like the fact that all my nails looked exactly the same.
After removing the failed design on my nails, I decided to do something different on every nail. One with some small dots, one with the scottish tape and the make up sponge and to finish the look one with glitter! You can never go wrong with a glitter accent nail! ;)
And this is what I came up with
The nailpolishes I used are named below

The next tutorial in the Black & White challenge series!
This time the challenge was to make a design with a black base and color ontop.
The little black dot on my ring finger is not a dot of polish. It's a little black rhinestone. I had bought some a long time ago but never tried something with them. I saw them lying on my wardrobe before I started filming the tutorial of this look. And I decided to use them in this design.
To watch the tutorial click right here to go to my Youtube channel
The polishes I used on this design are listed below
- base coat,
- NYC City Blackout
- a nameless lightblue polish
- two black teardrop shaped rhinestones
- top coat
It has been quite some time since I last postd a tutorial. I have been really busy and just didn't had the time to edit. I filmed it some days ago and now i finally got the time to edit the tutorial and upload it on Youtube!
Part four of the Black & White challenge: A white base with color. And this is what I made for this challenge
You can watch the tutorial on this design if you click right here!
The products I used on this design
I MADE A MISTAKE! OH NOOO!
This nailart should be a black base with colors design (the third one on the challenge list) But for some reason my mind just decided that I should do a color base with black (which is the fifth challenge on the list) And I made this
And I didn't even noticed I made a mistake until I finished editing the how-to of this nailart... sigh...
But then I decided to just switch the two challenges. This way I can keep this nailart on my nails and I already had a hard time thinking about what I should make with a black base and color. So now if have some more time to think about that and in the mean time, I have this amazing tiger look on my nails!
So the list you saw on the first post when I started this challenge is slightly changed. The third challenge became the fifth and the fifth challenge became the third challenge, as easy as that!
Even though I wasn't supposed to do this nailart. I still like it a lot! I chose two intense colors for this look. Both are polishes from Catrice. These polishes were a limited edition and I just had to have them :)
If you want to see how I made this design click here!
The polishes I used to create this look are listed below
- A base coat,
- Catrice: I'm a survivor
- Catrice: Like a jungle drum
- NYC: City Blackout
- Top coat.
I had so many ideas for DIY's that I didn't knew where to start! And I just couldn't decide what to paint on my nails :(
I was browsing on the internet and found some nailart challenges. This was what I needed! So I decided to start with the Black & White 10 day challenge!
I choose this challenge because I really love designs with just black and white polish.
I'm not doing a different design every day, because I don't think my nails would like to be harassed by nailpolish remover everyday ;)
So I just do a different desing every two or three days.
This is the first one of the challenges: the White base with black. And this is what I came up with
I made a howto video of this look! You can watch it if you click right here. I hope you like it!
A small introduction to begin this blog,
My name is Aletha, I'm nineteen years old and I live in the Netherlands. Since a while I'm really into painting and decorating my nails. I always loved to paint my nails in the weirdest colors but not in really complicated designs.
A while back I found a video on Youtube of somebody doing Watermarble Nails. And I LOVED it! I immediately wanted to try this technique for myself. And I did...; A whole afternoon spent doing my nails and getting the result I wanted. I never thought it would take so lang to do. But I didn't mind, I just loved being busy with my nails.
After wachting multiple watermarblenail how-to's I started wachting more and more nailart videos. Every single design I wanted to try for myself. And in the meantime my stash of polishes kept growing. Two days ago I was asked to do the nails of two sisters for a wedding. I was kinda nervous to do that at first, the only nails I had painted other than my own were the nails of my sister. After thinking about it I said yes and I ended up doing the nails of three girls! They were all so happy with their nails. The fact that I made them so happy by doing their nails made me happy and gave me the final push to start this blog.
What I will post on this blog are my tutorials on the design I painted on my nails. These tutorials will also be uploaded on my Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Dutchnailss but on this blog I will post the names of the products I used in every video!
