Lovely Acrylic Nails Art Design
Not everyone has perfect nails but everyone want's to have them. So almost every salon nowadays offers acrylic nails. However, there are work at home kits that include all the ingredients needed to create this look without the cost of a salon, and if you are patient, these kits can help you achieve professional looking nails.
Lovely Acrylic Nails
Acrylic nails do not damage your actual real nails, when used correctly as it is generaly thought. They are safe to use, but if misused, damage can and normally will occur. Wearing acrylic nails should be done carefully: make sure there is no area open between the natural nail and the acrylic. This will cause discoloration and ridges in the natural nail. Avoid hitting the acrylic nails on objects or peeling at the acrylic, because this will create a very indigenous space for fungus and bacteria to grow underneath. When applying the nails, always use clean instruments that are sanitized or disposable. Instruments are a perfect way to transfer bacteria and creates infections.
When wearing acrylic nails, make sure to not keep them on more then you should. 3 months is the longest that these nails should be worn, due to the natural nail’s need of moisture and freedom to breathe. If you notice that the skin around the fingers or nails is peeling, or has become discolored, it is best to get the nails off as soon as possible. Sometimes even a dermatologist should be consulted, as damage can already be taking place to the natural nail and treatment should be sought.

The Most Popular Airbrushed Acrylic Nails Art Design
Many women with acrylic or natural nails enjoy nail art of all kinds. The most popular nail art are airbrushed designs . Airbrushing nails takes many years of practice. This nail art offers more flexibility as well as a wider array of designs than normal polish.
When airbrushing nails, imagination is a huge factor. Most women come in wanting initials or flowers on their nails. But one of a kind looks don't just come around. If they do, they are boasted by women, and this is done by allowing the artist to do as they please on the surface of the nail. Different colors or designs as well as pictures or letters can all be combined to make the perfect nail art. Tools included in airbrushing nails are air compressors, an airbrush machine, lacquers of different colors as well as small nail art including gems and glitter.
For the best airbrush look, remember to choose contrasting colors. This makes the nail art stand out against the lacquer that is already on the nail. It is a waste to use a bland color, ore almoste matching colours. Once the airbrushed design is on the nail, remember to ask for a clear coat to help protect your nail design and make it more shiny.
China Glaze The Ten Man
Hi all!
How are you doing today? I have one of the China Glaze Wizard Of Ooh Ahz Returns collection again for you; The Ten Man this time.
China Glaze The Ten Man, four coats in daylight. The Ten Man is a frosty silver with tiny silver glitters in it. Very interesting finish! The Ten Man is not really my cup of tea since I'm not really into frosts, but I like the twist with the glitters.
Application was a bit tricky. The polish was a bit runny which caused some cuticle flooding. When I saw that, I tried to be more careful and keep more distance between the polish and my cuticle and everything went alright. Opacity isn't that great; four coats to be opaque and I still have some spots where you can see my nail line.
To spice it up, I did a little konad.
China Glaze The Ten Man stamped with China Glaze Adore and imageplate M60. It's a pretty subtle konad, which I like :) I'm sorry about the quality of this picture but in my better pictures, the konad didn't show up that well so I decided to go with this one.
What do you think of The Ten Man?

Nubar Knight's Armor
Hi all!
Today I have a polish for you that I borrowed from Michèle (thanks hun!); Nubar Knight's Armor. I actually ordered it myself, but while I was ordering, it went out of stock. Meh. Anyway, I could play with it a bit so here it is!
Nubar Knight's Armor, two coats in daylight. Knight's Armor has square silver glitter in a black base. It looks alright when applied like this. I expected the glitters to give the polish more dimension, but it doesn't. So, of course, I slapped a coat of matte topcoat on it to see how that would look.
Nubar Knight's Armor, two coats with one coat of Essie Matte About You in daylight. That's better! Somehow the matte topcoats adds depth to it and I'm digging this.
Appliction of Knight's Armor is good. The glitters won't slide everywhere when you're applying it, which is a big plus! The polish dries quickly and was dry before I could take pictures.
That's is for today, dear reader, thanks for stopping by!

Zoya Charla And Holiday Announcement
Hi all!
Today I have Zoya Charla for you from the Sparkle Collection for 2010. Most people I know think this is the stunner of the collection. I disagree, Ivanka is way prettier in my opinion, but Charla sure is pretty!
Zoya Charla, three coats in daylight. Charla is a blue green glass flecked polish. It flashes a bit of gold and is more green than my pictures show it, but it's really really gorgeous. I am actually wearing this on my toes right now :D
Application is good. The polish is a little on the thin side, so I needed three coats for opacity but my pictures still show a little visible nail line. Drying time is good.
Such a lovely sparkle must be mattified.
Zoya Charla, three coats with one coat of Essie Matte About You in daylight. Whoa, me likey!
I also want to tell you that in exactly 12 hours time, I will be on a plane to Spain. I have prepared posts that will be posted automatically, so you won't have to miss daily posts. These will be a little shorter than you are used to though.. However, because I'm on a holiday, I will not be able to come online and answer any of your comments, questions or emails. I can't respond to any messages about my blogsale either, so please bear with me. I will try to be up and running as soon as possible when I get back, but in the meantime I hope you'll have patience with me :)
For those of you who will go on a holiday soon, I hope you have a great holiday! And thank you all for your understanding :)

OPI Funky Dunkey
Hi all!
Today I have the pretty purple from the Shrek collection by OPI for you. I already used this polish in my First Watermarble.
OPI Funky Dunkey, two coats in daylight. Funky Dunkey is a medium -grape- purple creme. This was just two coats, which applied easily.
The polish is really pigmented, making it perfectly opaque in two coats. Dryingtime was good as well. The polish was dry in minutes without a quickdry topcoat so I was pleased with that!

Pieces Il Postino
Hi all,
Today I have another polish from Pieces for you. I reviewed three other polishes earlier, but recently I picked up this one. It's called Il Postino and according to Wikipedia, Il Postino means 'the mailman'. This is an Italian movie from 1994 which won an Oscar and several BAFTA's.
Pieces Il Postino, five coats in indirect daylight. Whoa, five coats! Il Postino is a tomato red jelly that still shows some VNL with five coats. I couldn't force myself to add another coat, so I left it at this.
Application was alright. The polish has a jelly structure so it's a bit runny, but the brush makes it easy to handle. Opacity.. Well, let's say that's not so good. I personally do not like VNL at all so that's a downside for me. However, I do like the color a lot! I don't own many red jellies.. Now that I think of it, do I even own one other red jelly? I can't think of one!
Drying time was good, considering the fact that I used five coats. It was dry when I was taking my pictures so that's a big plus!
Pieces nailpolish can be bought at Pieces stores (I bought mine at Pieces Kalverstraat in Amsterdam) for € 2,95 a bottle or € 6,95 for three bottles.

Navy inspired..
I was playing with my Bundle Monster plates and came out with this. The base is Illamasqua Force, my favourite blue at the moment and stamped with China Glaze Millenium.
My First Watermarble
Hi all!
So today I decided to try something new - well, it was new to me. I've never watermarbled before but it looks so pretty when I see it on nails, so I decided to try it.
I grabbed a plastic cup, room temperature water, a orangewood stick, some paper, tape and of course polish. I picked Orly Lollipop and OPI Funky Dunkey for my first time of marbling. I painted my nails in white polish (H&M Love At First Sight), because I was planning on doing a white/purple marble, but changed my mind. Anyway, this is the result of some watermarbling!
I think I did do alright for a first time of watermarbling! The colors play nicely together, it's balanced. I should practice on aiming in the cup though lol!
I've been following Colette's blog - My Simple Little Pleasures for a while now and I love her tutorials. This is the queen of marbling people! I used her method for taping while I was marbling so I wouldn't have to spend ages cleaning up the polish from halfway down my finger.
See? I could just peel of the tape while I was done. Colette has a great tutorial on the taping as well, so check that out if you don't want to clean up your whole finger afterwards ;) I've heard that oiling with cuticle oil will work too to make your cleanup easier, but since this was my first time, I haven't tried that.
What do you think of my marble?
