HPB Presents: Halloween a Zombie pond

Hobby Polish Bloggers presents: Halloween

My last Halloween manicure was such a success that I decided to do another one. I understand you want to see more of them, so I deliver to you, a Zombie pond. *cue scary music* So with the girls at Hobby Polish Blogger, I present to you: Halloween.

For this manicure I used Sally Hansen - 540 - Jell-ous? to help out on the decal making I started out with two coats on the Uber Chic stamping mat, and did one stamp and continued to build Sally Hansen - 540 - Jell-ous? between the stamps.
All in all I used 9 coats on the index finger with one to two arms for each layer of polish. Ring finger and middle finger had 5 coats and my little finger had the least amount of coats with only 4 coats (!!) I also applied some splatter using Makeup Mekka - Strawberry Daiquiri on the second layer before using the splatter.

Easter Nails

Let's get ready with some Easter Nails.
I decided to do some Easter nail, cause I have all these great plates with images that would be great for Easter, and if I don't use them now, when?
Right?


I started out with 3 coats of Miss Sporty - 453. I went googling around to see if anyone had used this polish before, and came back with surprisingly few results. So I decided that it was time. The world need more pastel yellows. This might not be your favorite yellow, but it's a yellow, and deserve some Easter happiness.
.. and it was the best yellow I could find in my stash.

Note to self: Get the perfect pastel Yellow.

Any takers?

I stamped using Bundlemonster, and ended up using BM 322, using MakeupMekka - Strawberry Daiquiri.

Strawberry Daiquiri - Nail Art

By layering Strawberry Daiquiri from MakeupMekka, and Sunny Pink - Mac Factor I created this manicure, to lighten up my mood.
It's been a rough few days lately. Trying to find your roots in another country is not like a walk in the garden picking berries. It's hard. I don't know many people here, and a rather shy person. And the people I do know ... well, it seems like I have had a tendency to alienate people more than making new friends lately.
One step back, look at what I am doing. Up again, and let's try another approach.

It all starts with a manicure that will cheer you up.

Twinpost: I'll be wearing my Flip Flops

YaY! Its Friday!!

This weeks Cheeky Girl Challenge, we are doing CH37. The image we selected was the Flip Flops.
Shoot me now.
I hated this image.
It didn't stamp well for me, at all.

But after a few hours of banging my head against the wall, I managed to get it to look somewhat decent.


I used Misa - Working hard, hardly working
Makeup Mekka - Strawberry Daiquiri
Makeup Mekka - Green and Tonic
Depend - 124

MakeupMekka Haul

I have been on a trip back to Norway to get some of my stuff over the border. 

I went on a 24 hour drive, over two days, and drove about 2.400 km. 

Crossed 6 borders. 

Not doing that again, I tell you.

Next time, I will get someone to move for me. 

I got time to get some nail polish while I was in Norway, and this is what I got. 

R to L: Strawberry Daiquiri, Charlotte Grey, Join The Navy, Paint the Town, Me: Blue Blood, Green And Tonic, Remember 79'.

Will see if I can get some swatches, but at first glance I am guessing Me: Blue Blood is going to be a dupe on YSL - Bleu Majorelle, so lets start there.

But not tonight. Now its time for bed, and I will swatch the cobalt's tomorrow.
