Happy Queen’s Day!

It’s Queen's Day in the Netherlands today!  The sun is shining and I’m sure there are a lot of people dressed in orange partying it up all over the country.  So of course a Queen’s Day Manicure is in order!
You are probably wondering why the Dutch flag looks upside down but I figured it was best to have it in the direction that other people would be looking at it from. So just twist your head and pretend! haha
If you notice on my pinkie finger, you can still see the ridge from the damage I got from the nail salon that did my first set of acrylics.  It is starting to grow out though and I’m hoping that my nails are a bit stronger once it is gone. At the moment some of my nails are bendy like paper and I hate the feeling of that.
The flag is a little messy because I free handed it.  For some reason whenever I tried to use the tape, the white polish was pulled off with it.  It’s never happened with the tape I use before so I said the heck with it and just tried to do it freehand.
Happy Queen’s Day everyone!!
Polishes Used:
Orange – Miss Sporty
White – Catrice Snow Motion

Easter Mani!

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend!  Here in the Netherlands we had a four day weekend and it was HOT!  Reaching temperatures over 25 degrees every day.  I spent a lot of time here:

Out on my balcony, that I wish was bigger but hey at least I have one!  It gets SO hot out there in the afternoon I always have to get out my umbrellas to give me a break from the heat.  The animals love it though, our cat and two dogs spend a lot of time out there basking and sleeping in the sun.
Between Easter and this beautiful weather screaming SUMMMMMERRRR at me, I needed a colorful and bright mani. 

It was an easy choice due to my limited stash, these were really the only really colorful colors I had.  I first did a mani with each finger a different color and then dots of each other color on it but it looked horrid so I removed it.  It looks much better with the white dots.

I’m still wearing this because I just think it’s SO cute.  I guess I’ll have to remove it soon but I will be doing something similar to replace it.  I’m still trying to get my full nail Essence stamps to work, maybe I’ll finally be able to get some stripes on there if I figure it out.  I’ve already gone through an entire bottle of the stampy polish just from trying to get a full nail design onto the stamp.
Polishes used: Orange / Blue / Pink are Miss Sporty, Purple #33 by Etos, Green Maybelline MNY #753, White spots are Essence white stampy polish.
