So, this is my first official review post. The urge to create a page with reviews has come from newly-tested polishes, which then looked so fabulous that I wanted to say something about them. Therefore, this is a whole page dedicated to solely the colour and quality of polishes instead of them having been used […]

Jelly sandwich
Today’s is a quick and easy design: my first jelly sandwich! Making a jelly sandwich is very simple, really: all you have to do is ‘sandwich’ a glitter polish between two layers of polish that have a jelly-like texture. Assuming, of course, that you actually know your jellies… Since I am still a beginner with […]
Jugendstil
It’s been a while since my last blog post, due to the holidays and such. This design is inspired by some Jugendstil spoons from a museum in Ålesund, Norway, where I went to last February. The small city of Ålesund has a lot of Jugendstil architecture, mainly visible in the decorations on almost every building. […]
Dots
Since I received two new colours from the China Glaze On Safari Collection (from 2012), I have been eager to try them out. Luckily, they complement each other really well, so I doodled a bit on some paper and came up with a simple but elegant dotted design. The colours are Kalahari Kiss (desert colour, […]
Necklaces
This is a very simple and cute dotted necklace design. I could have made all kinds of different necklaces on each nail, but instead I decided to only make one accent nail. The other nails are just blue (I really love that colour, by the way) with some dots in the colours that I used […]
Mackintosh
I finally tried out a design I have been wanting to make for a long time: Charles Rennie Mackintosh nail art! I know I have said before that this amazing architect has inspired many other people’s nail art as well, but I still really wanted to try it out. I have visited Mackintosh’s house in […]
Stripes
Today a design that was strongly based on the one below, so all the credit goes to beautylish.com. A friend of mine noticed this design and suggested it to me. Coincidentally, I had recently acquired some nail art brushes, and I hadn’t tried out the one used in this design yet. The brush is a […]
World Cup: Holland-Chile
Since I am now infected with the crazy-soccer-support-disease (just like my friends, we actually watch the game separately but comment on everything via Whatsapp), I have a second World Cup design for you! Tomorrow Holland plays Chili, so I thought why not make a fun flag design? These countries’ flags are especially suited for this […]
World Cup!
This design is for all fans of (inter)national soccer, since the World Cup championships have begun again. Obviously this nail art was designed for the Dutch team, since even I become slightly nationalistic during this time. I watched the first game ‘our’ team played and it was incredible! I think I’ve never seen the score […]
Purple vs. White
Today’s design is very easy. You basically need three different colours, throwing in a glitter is optional. The colours I used are: OPI – Alpine Snow China Glaze – Fancy Pants China Glaze – Fairy Dust L’Oréal – Flashing Lilac Please note that Fancy Pants shows up blue on the photos, but in real life, […]
