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:

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.

Messy Halloween Water Marble
Here's another Halloween inspired manicure! A messy water marble. I deliberately choose to make this water marble not so neat and tidy just because I thought Halloween isn't about things being neat and tidy ;)
After I finished filming this manicure, I really didn't like the endresult. I thought it looks awful and like someone who never ever ever had done water marbling did my nails. But after a few times, I got used to the look and started to like them. Then I decided to edit the clips and make a tutorial for this manicure, even after I wasn't planning to.
I like the way my index and tumb turned out. Sadly some bubbles popped and you can see the white polish on some spots. But hey, that's a risk with water marbling :)
The polishes I used for this manicure
In the tutorial I already had painted my nails with a base and a white polish. And I taped my nails to help with the clean up afterwards. I will post a tutorial on how I tape my nails soon!

Spooky, slimey and dark nails. It's time for Halloween nails!
It's October, the month were soo many things happen: World Animal Day, Breast Cancer Awareness month, Thanksgiving and soooo much more. And of course, the reason why I made this manicure: Halloween!
I our family we don't do anything with Halloween, but I just liked to paint my nails in a Halloween theme ;)
I bought the orange color one day before I made this mani, I thought the orange color almost screamed HALLOWEEN! I don't know why, but I had to buy it and make a halloween mani with it ;)

Come on Barbie, let's go party!
I'm on instagram, and at the end of the month september I saw a picture of the month october beign the month for breast cancer awareness. And I wanted to participate in this. I don't know any women who have this terrible disease. But either way it's important that people raise awareness of this disease. And my way of doing that is to join 'Polish Us Pink' for the month of october.
This is the first pink manicure I made for this month
And as always, I didn't knew how I should name this manicure. I asked my best friend what she thought of when she looked at this manicure. And she answered 'Barbie!'. I immediately got the song Barbie girl stuck in my head. So that's why I called this manicure 'Come on Barbie, let's go party!' If you don't know the song(I don't think much people do) This is the song (It's a link!)
