    Sometimes, when I'm lying in bed and about to fall asleep, some kind of clarity suddenly enters my thoughts...

    Experiment: Watermarbling

    Over the past year, I have seen many wonderful watermarbling designs, so it was about time that I tried this technique out myself!

    The Butterfly Effect

    The butterfly effect is a term used to explain the cohesion between things that do not seem to have any relationship whatsoever.

    Lace-Like

    This is a good example of a manicure that has a very straightforward pattern, but looks like an intricate design to any other person.

Last year, I made some pretty fun designs, but this year, inspiration hit me even more. I have some review blog posts coming up as well, […]

Today, I will show you a design I had on my nails in August. I really need to get up to speed! This is a design I did not think of myself, but is an idea of Youtuber Professional IDQ, so all the credit goes to her. Watch her tutorial here! However, I got really […]

It’s Autumn!

I honestly forgot how much I love the autumn here in Holland (minus the rain of course): when you’re outside, the blowing wind, the smell of the coloured leaves on the pavement, and the beautiful skies at sunset give you energy. When you’re inside looking out the window, the storms, the rain and the temperature […]

Aboriginal Art

The pattern on my middle finger continues on the paper!

So, I made this design a long time ago and I actually completely forgot to post a blog about it! It was fairly easy to make, because I found a picture of some Aboriginal art online and just recreated some parts of the design. Unfortunately, I could not find any information about this specific design, […]

News from China!

Today a nail art special, with a China theme! The reason for this: my sister and her husband have been in the adoption programme for years, and this week they finally heard they can probably travel to China in November, and bring their son back home! Of course, this is incredible news, so I wanted […]

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 […]

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. […]

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, […]
