Make A Wish...

Yesterday was my birthday and I seriously had an ahhhhhh-mazing time!!! To make things a bit more festive I did my own birthday nails called "Make a Wish". And this is what they looked like... I bought no cake...so I painted myself some birthday candles. How to? 1. Paint your nails in a dark color and let it dry completely (I originally wanted to make it glittery black, but couldn't find  the black polish anywhere. So I decided to go with Mardi Grass  from Jordana as the base). 2. When dry, paint your candles (in your colors of choice). Since I barely use professional instruments I used matches (ironically enough)...

The Pinky & The Brain (Catrice), Circus and Pinkerbell

Hmmmm....today is one of those days we do less talking and more posting I guess. I have SO much to show you guys. First of all, my nails. Yesterday I tried 'The Pinky and The Brain' from Catrice and I must say that I'm truly, deeply, madly in love with this color. Seriously, it's been two days and I can't stop looking at my hands. I think it's an indescribable beautiful and girly tone of pink; hot, deep, playful and sexy...all at the same time. Application happened in less than ten minutes (still in love with Catrice's flat brush) and with two coats I got this really opaque cover which I think looks just lovely....

Fiesta madness and a dazzling zebra

Been gone for a while, but that didn't mean I 'haven't been dazzling things up around here... Well let's start with the make up today. Last Sunday I did this colorful eye make up I called "Fiesta", and it looked kinda like this... (I think the lighting of the picture makes it look quite different than it really was if you'd seen it personally.) It is a combination of lime green (in the inner corner of the eye), turquoise (on the eyeball), blue (on the outer corner) & Purple (on the crease). It was simply colorful and fun!! Wore a simple purple dress with it and enjoyed all the attention. haha I thought it looked a bit like a previous...

Gifted!!! :D

Tonight I did the most ridiculous dance moves in my room. Anyone who might have seen me, could have easily thought that I was on booze or something. haha Pshhh... relax dude...I can assure you I'm really not (even thou I just took some migraine meds some minutes ago). But the real reason for the joy was a gift I received....FROM ABROAD!!! :D :D :D I know I already said this on my personal blog once (www.chroniclesofsy.blogspot.com), but really...I NEED to repeat it... I have the most amazing, fantastic and awesome sisters (in-law) of the whole world. And so, the miss J (who lives in Holland) sent me these beauties... Genius In The Bottle The...

Mint Chocolate chip...(and more)

Just as I told you in my last post...the patriotic nails didn't quite survive Monday. Not because they chipped ore anything, but because they were one of my least favorites. By the way, besides ruining the look of the semi gradient I did, the chunky silver glitters were a pain in the butt to remove. (Sigh) But every now and then they dazzle a simple look...this one just wasn't their moment. Did another cute look on Monday afternoon...called "Mint Chocolate Chip". Well, I aimed for a high gloss finish for this one...thought it'll look cuter! That was my death sentence literally. The only high gloss top coat I have at the moment is the Sally Hansen...

Show me your flags and dazzling make-up....

Today I have a double scoop... I've got nails....AND make-up. First of all, tomorrow is national flag day again in Curacao. So in my very own "celebration mood" I did these funky nails... Not actually how the flag looks like of course. I simply played with the three colors the flag consists of...and these were the results... They were supposed to be my first take on the gradient technique and for a novice I think it turned out pretty acceptable lol. Only thing, I added silver glitter this morning...and I think the glitter kind of ruined it a bit. But I don't think the mani is going to make it past tomorrow thou....It's not my...
