#52 May Nail Art Challenge: Aztec
For this nail art I used three nailpolishes and black acrylic paint. The polishes are named. 'Take it mint' 'Dirty Liana' and 'Holo in one' all by Catrice.
I also made a tutorial for this nail art, if you want to see how I did this, you can click right here and you'll go directly to the tutorial ;)
Oh, I'm so in love with this nail art especially the print on the middlefinger

#46 Pink clingfilm nail art
With the colours of the limited editon 'Crème Fresh' from Catrice which I swatched this week, I also made a clingfilm nail art.
This was the second time I tried the clingfilm technique, the first time I absolutely loved the results so I wanted to try it again ;) And it won't be the last time I did this either ;) This look reminds me of spring, Fresh and new: All the trees get new green leaves, all kinds of flowers pop out of the ground and birds begin to sing their song again.
I made tons of pictures of this nail art, just because it was a nice day and I loved the result so much! So prepare because I have a lot of pictures to share! ;)
The polishes used for this nail art are all from the Crème Fresh limited edition from Catrice. 'Make fast at Tiffany's' 'Evergreen 60s' 'Another Pink Panther' and 'Light your fire'
If you want to see how I did this I uploaded a tutorial on this nail art today! You can click right here to go directly to the video.
And, if you feel inspired by this (or any other) nail art I did, and you want to share it with me, you can! You can tag me on Instagram using #lookdutchnailss (dubble s!) or post it on my Facebookpage!
Have fun painting and creating,

#37 Double Crackle Nail Art
Again a nail art inspired by someone else. This time I saw a tutorial on these nails on a youtube channel. The channel of ArcadiaNailArt. She makes amazing nail art and when I feel uninspired, her tutorials always give me the best ideas!
This was the first tutorial I saw on her channel, and I wanted to try it out because I was convinced my crackle polishes couldn´t do this.
But they could! :D
The idea of this nail art is that you use not only one crackle polish, but two. You start of with a normal colour polish. I used Catrice ´ASHley´. A light grey polish. And I used two crackle polishes of Essence. The polishes don´t have a special name, just black and white.
! This is very important if you want to try this out for yourself !
You need to apply a top coat polish in between the two crackle polishes, if you don't do that, the second crackle polish will just crackle the same way the first one did and you won't be able to see the first crackle polish.
The polishes I used for this look:
I made a tutorial for this manicure. If you want to see exactly how I did this you can click right here and you'll go to my youtube channel.
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

#34 Diamonds are a girls best friend
I saw a nail art with a diamond a few weeks ago. And ever since that moment I wanted to create my own nail art with a diamond shape in it.
Not long after I saw the picture I was organizing my polishes: I bought a new small cabinet for my polishes that didn't fit on my 'special' polish shelf. And found a perfect combo of polishes. A gold glitter, a gold-ish magnetic polish and a green polish. I immediately thought of the diamond nail art. These colors would be perfect for this nail art! So when I had the time I tried it out. This was the first time I made a diamond like this. I'm not a 100% happy about the result but they still look cool ;)
And I could not finish this blogpost without sharing the person who inspired me to do this nail art: The amazing talented Wannaknowasecret on IG. She makes amazing nail art and has beautiful nails! If you didn't knew her already, make sure you go check her out! ;)
If you are curious on how I made this nail art. Do not fear! I made a tutorial for this nail art!
Just click this link and you will go directly to the tutorial!

Blog goals for 2014!
I'm a regular user of Instagram. When I don't post any pictures myself I browse through pictures of other people. Just like I did this evening. The first picture I saw was a list with goals for her blog in 2014.
I got inspired to make my own list of goals I wanted to accomplish this year on my blog. Capitalpolish, the person I saw this original post, had six goals. When I saw her list I was like 'How hard can it be, just think of some goals, and try to reach those goals' Well... thinking of goals was already hard for me! But i've got four goals.
Goal #1 Find a way to make better pictures
I photograph my nails with my Canon camera. I also have a cheap lightbox to make pictures of the polishes and tools I use. But when I want to make photos of my hand/nails, the lightbox is just to clumsy and I can't get a relaxed and beautiful hand pose.
So when I make photos of my hand/nails, I place my camera on my windowsill and use autofocus. But with this method I find the handpose is nice, but the light is just not right.
I also want to buy a better lens for the camera, to make more macro shots.
Goal #2 Start swatching/reviewing Indies
I've always admired people who make their own nail polishes and while I don't own any indie polishes, I think it's time to change that ;)
If you make Indie polishes and you want me to swatch them, just contact me.
Goal #3 Swatch and show my stash
The first polishes I swatched were the 'Superheroes' polishes of Essence. And I must say, before I swatched these, I never thought I would like swatching polishes this much. I saw a lot of swatches pass on my Instagram feed. But I never saw the point of those. Don't know why. But I find it's a lot of fun to swatch polishes, because they almost always look a bit different on your nails than in the bottle.
And finally Goal #4 Minimal of two post per week on my blog
The idea for this goal is that no matter what, I will post at least on tutorial and one other blogpost on here every week. Oh lord. I think this one is going to be the toughest of all. But on the other hand, I am going to swatch a lot more ;) So we will see!

2013 Recap
Seven months ago I joined the nail art community. I was watching some videos on Youtube and came across the water marble technique. A few days later I tried this technique for myself. Half a day I was messing around with polishes and a cup of water. But at the end of the day I had the result I was looking for:
Happy and satisfied with the result I posted this picture on my personal Instagram. I got a few likes on the picture and after some time someone commented on the picture too. I replied to that person and, nosy as I am, went to check out her account. All I saw were pictures of nails with nail art, I was amazed!
I always loved painting my nails in the brightest colours possible and I already had a decent amount of polishes. But after I came across the water marble tutorial videos the stash of polishes started to grow. And I began to search for more nail art tutorials, I discovered ProfessionalDG, Cutepolish, Robin Moses Nail Art and many others! I wanted to do what those girls could do. There was only one problem: I didn't had the tools to do so and I didn't knew where I could buy them. But that didn't stop me..
I own a old tool box with tools to make 3d postcards. This tool box belonged to my grandmother and was given to me after she passed away. The contents of that tool box consisted of some glitters, paints, glue and other stuff. And also three dottingtool like pencils. My grandmother used these pencils to make 3d postcards, but they were perfect for doing some nail art as well!
And with one of those dottingtools and a tutorial on youtube (sadly can't find the video anymore) I made my fisrt ever nail art:
After this I made my nail art only Instagram account and started my youtube channel. I just loved the way ProfessionalDQ, Cutepolish etc learned me to do nail art, so I wanted to do the same to others. I wanted to share my nail art and show how others could recreate those designs.
Many nail art tutorials and pictures followed, and I'm not planning on stopping soon ;)

#30 Snowflakes!
I'm not exaggerating when I say that I'm SO PROUD about this nail art!
With the smallest and thinnest brush I carefully made these snowflakes, not out of glitters this time, but out of acrylic white paint. I had so much fun making these! And I think I like these better than the candy cane nail art I did a week or so ago ;)
The products I used for this awesome(!) nail art are listed below:

#29 Ice Crystals
Second Christmas themed nail art!
This time I created a nail art with diamond shaped glitters. It was a little bit of a pain to place the glitters on the nail, but with every placement it got easier.
The products I used for this mani are listed below. I used a dark blue for my base, but I think that if you want to use a red color for the base this manicure will stil look awesome!
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

#28 First Christmas themed mani: Candy Canes!
Sweet, sweet candy canes, almost want to eat my nails ;)
It's december, the time for christmas themed manis! And I have SO much ideas! Can't wait to show you all!The first mani I made is this candy cane madness! I used a magnetic polish for the base and some red and white acrylic paint to make the cany canes. I never used the magnetic polishes I own. I have three magnetic polishes, didn't liked them at the start, but when I was looking for the polishes I wanted to use for this nail art I saw this kinda red purple magnetic polish and figured 'Why not?' and I'm glad I did! It's a subtle effect underneath the candy canes. But I think it finishes this nail art!
For the first time I made pictures outside, and wow what a difference. It was cold and a bit cloudy. But the pictures are still better than the ones I made inside. It's a bit sad that I discover this when it's getting really cold outside and getting darker earlier.
I made a lot of pictures of this mani because I really like the outcome of this one! Before and after I added the candy canes! ;)
