Hi everyone,
it's the last Friday of the month again, so that means Michelle, Juanita and me should be ready to show you our manicures that are inspired by a manicure one of us chose. This month was Michelle's choice and she picked a lovely manicure by JauntyJuli. The moment I saw it, I thought I had the perfect base color... but when checking it out even closer the base Juli used was a creme and not a multichrome. The idea of using a multichrome stuck though so I had sort of made my mind up about what to use when an email dropped in my inbox and lo and behold, I wasn't the only one who had come up with that idea! So that meant back to the drawing board for me. While rummaging through my stash my eye fell on a polish I recently acquired and that had absolutely nothing to do with the vision I had. I was curious how it would look on my nails though so I pulled it out of storage and started swatching it... and then some... and then some more... and then this happened:
I know, nothing like the inspiration, right? But several elements of the original are in there though:
- dusty base color? Check!
- glittery gradient? Check!
- mandala like stamp? Check!
Let me tell you what I did :)

Hi everyone,
another hurried manicure but this time it was my not so smart planning that caused my lack of time ;) Fortunately both OPI polishes I used were almost one coaters so I could speed paint again, with this result:

Hi everyone!
I've been contemplating skipping the Q as I don't like the result of my Sunday experiment one bit... but it has been on my nails (past tense, you didn't think it would last very long if I didn't like it, right?) so it's going to be on my blog. So without further ado I present my Q manicure: quilted nails (or rather one quilted nail as one is more than plenty ;)

Hi everyone!
Yep, you're not seeing things: at last a new post from me! After a week of exams in the hospital where I had to have bare nails (and bare other parts, but I won't go into details about that, don't worry ;) I managed to do my nails and took pictures of them but I couldn't find the time to write a post earlier, so this one should be titled: What was on my nails a week ago?
Anyway, this is what was on my nails for about three days:

Hi everyone!
Yesterday started out as a gray, rainy, gloomy day but around noon the sun showed up so when I had to think of what to do with my nails for my in-laws 40th anniversary dinner there was just one option: holo!! Originally I wanted something red, as the 40th anniversary of a marriage is called a ruby anniversary (over here anyway), but I couldn't find anything that sparked my interest... until I saw a beautiful denim blue holo! So instead of ruby red my manicure turned out all blue (which actually fitted my blue-white-black outfit so I guess it was a good thing ;)This is what my nails still look like at the moment:

Hi everyone!
When I was out shopping today I bought a couple of polishes and after I came home I just fiddled with them, making combinations on my desk to see what colors would look nice together. This is what happened.

Hi everyone!
A quick post today. Just a few weeks and it should be summer and I can't wait for the warmth and sunshine that are supposed to come with it (or at least, I hope it's going to be warm and sunny... it's still pretty cold over here). So to get my nails (and my coughing self) in a happy mood I decided to go for a yellow manicure.

Hi everyone!
It's the last day of the week which means just a few more hours before the weekend starts and... casual Friday, so in my case: colorful nails :)
I received a couple of new polishes last week and while they were sitting on my desk, waiting to be put away, a gorgeous burgundy red was standing next to a glittery gold and the combination was so beautiful I decided to use them on my nails.

Hi everyone!
The house is all cleaned up and back in order, the cable maniac has returned to his normal state as loving hubby (for now ;) and now that I have access to all my polishes and tools again, I felt like doing a simple manicure... so: a skittle with dots!

Hi everyone!
Today another attempt at stamping... but maybe a bit too subtle and definitely not durable enough.

Hi everyone!
