Black and white with a pink accent

Hi everyone!

Unfortunately I was very busy this week, so I wasn't able to post as much as I liked. So, this week there will be one post less than usual. Hopefully next week everything will be back to normal!

Today I'd like to share a stamped mani I did just recently. I figured that the black and white might go well with a glittery contrasting shade. Inspired by our bathroom, which is black and white with bright pink accents, I decided to go for a glittery pink nail polish as accent.

A galaxy mani featuring Gravity

Hi all!

Last week I showed you Picture Polish Gravity. I also did a review of the Bundle Monster CYO set.
Gravity really felt like some sort of galaxy and I couldn't wait to use my Bundle Monster set. One plus one makes two, and here's what I came up with.

Sinful Colors Snow me white.
The designs are from BM610.

Bundle Monster Create Your Own

Hi everyone!

In my second Shoplog you could already see that I bought the Bundle Monster Create Your Own (in short: CYO) stamping set. Here is the full review.
Bundle Monster CYO
Those stamping plates were made of designs sent in by very creative ladies.
This set is only available as a whole. That was no problem for me personally, but I can imagine that you don't want all the plates.

Well, let's have a look at all the plates!

Picture Polish Gravity

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to show a Limited Edition polish from PiCture POlish. Let's have a look at Gravity.

A friend of mine asked: "Is that some sort of chameleon polish?"
I only can say, "Yes it is!"
Depending on the light your nails are in and the angle from which you are looking at it, this polish shifts colour.

Shoplog (2)

Hi everyone!


When I was going through my set of stamping plates, I didn't get much inspiration. Thinking about it, I realized I am working with my stamping plates quite some time already. I figured it was time for new ones, so I placed an order at Nailways. After one day, I already received my package. Time to unwrap all the little gifts within!

Monday Manicure: A minty stamped mani

Hi everyone!

Let me first start with an announcement. As of today, I will be posting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It became more and more difficult to find interesting songs every week and it was even harder to write something about some songs. Therefore I decided to quit doing a song post every week. I won't stop sharing my favourite music, it will only be less frequently.

Having said that, let's move on to today's mani!
Last Thursday I already showed you Essie Mint Candy Apple. Today I'm going to show a stamped mani that I did, using MCA as a base.

China Glaze Adore, using the design

Saturday Songs: Libertango (Tango)

Hi all!

For today's song, I chose the Libertango.

Patrick plays alt-saxophone in a fanfare band. We once did a demonstration on this Libertango, played by the fanfare. It was our very first demonstration outside the dance school and we were pretty nervous. It didn't really help that the floor was only 10 by 5 square meters. That might seem pretty big, but a standard dance floor is generally larger than 20 by 10 square meters!

Despite our nerves and the small floor, we received so many compliments. It was a very nice evening, hopefully we'll be able to give another demonstration soon!

Anyway, this is the song we used for the tango demonstration. This video also shows a couple dancing an Argentine tango mixed with a Ballroom tango. Enjoy watching!

Essie Mint Candy Apple

Hi all!

Today I'd like to show Essie Mint Candy Apple, a minty coloured cream.

I just recently got this minty blue colour, but I've already worn it quite a few times. I like it on its own, but I also like it as base for stamping. I'll show you my stamped mani later ;-)

Saturday Songs: Earth (Slow Waltz)

Hi all!

Today I have a song for you from a movie, Gladiator. I really like this movie, also because of the soundtracks, all composed by Hans Zimmer. This song is called Earth and you can dance a Slow Walz to it.

Enjoy watching!

Happy new year!

I wish you all the best for this new year, that all your dreams may come true!

For me personally, I hope that I pass all exams and that I start graduating next September. Of course, I also hope that Patrick and I continue dancing. 

Well, we'll see what 2015 brings us! Happy new year!
