#22 Smiley Faces

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.

#21 Halloween water marble

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!

#20 Spider nails ~ Nailart for halloween

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 ;) 

The polishes I used for this manicure are

#19 I'm A Barbie Girl!

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!) 


The polishes I used for this manicure are

#18 Kitty Cat Nails!

It's World Animal Day! Give your pets a hug ;) 

I love cats, dogs and all other animals really ;) I'm a real animal person! And because today is World Animal Day, I painted this on my nails:


 These turned out even better than I expected! I like them a lot. 

You can of course just make the cat heads on the nails and don't add the dots on the background. But I think the dots added some color and I like it this way :)

The polishes I used to make these cute little kitty cats are:

#17 Nails for fall

Autumn Stripes!

It's October, the weather is getting colder and the days are getting shorter. I find that I don't like to use bright colors on my nails when the days turn colder etc. Sometimes I do use bright colors on my nails, but not on this mani. I used simple brown colors and a red.

   
I chose to do only one nail with the stripes, but this look good too if you do all the nails with the stripe design. 

This are the colors I used
