DIY: rainbow ombre nails

Hi everyone I am back with a new beauty blogpost for you.

Most of the time I cant be bothered with my nails but when I do polish them I like to do something special.

Lately I havent been wearing any colours, but grey or navy ( I dont see white& black as colours but thats all I wear )

My nails though get all the colours of the world, so here are my rainbow nails.

I explain step by step how I did this.

1. I make the rainbow with these three colours, from OPI ( nicki minaj mini's)

You will need a make up sponge for the ombre effect, you can use a regular sponge but then the gradient will not be a nice.

2. Use a clear base coat before you apply the white coat so your nails will not get yellow.

You use the white so your rainbow will ne brighter.

And who doesn't like a bright rainbow?

3. Okay so this part isn't neccesary for everyone but if you want a little extra wow, with this nailtape you can make cool shapes.

4. Apply the nailpolish in thick layers on the sponge like shown, repeat for every two nails or so.

Then the sponge on your nail like a stamp.

This is what your nail will look like using the tape, you can make your own patterns and designs.

So this is the end result. What do you think?

Let me know if this tutorial works out for you and if you want me to post more of these.

A little bit darker now..

Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worst

Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts

Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worst

We try to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see

It's the soul that needs the surgery.

What I am trying to say is that lately I feel like we need to be skinnier, taller and so on.

The models in the magazines, the people on tv, everyone around us gets effected.

For example the victoria's secret fashionshow, I love to watch that by the way. But the only thing I heard leading to the event was how the models were starving themselves and working out like crazy to get that body.

Eventhough i get that this is the case before a show like that, but this should not be the norm.

I wish more people would love what they see in the mirror.

You dont have to look like a Victorias secret model to achieve something in life.

Just putting it out there..

Xmas nails

After posting my picture up instagram I decided to share a little tutorial with you.

1. I started with a grey matte coating from flormar, a new make up store in my shopping street in Amsterdam.

2. After that I start doing the snowflakes, keep in mind that this takes a steady hand.

And I used a white nail art pen from the primark that comes in a pack of three.

3. I usually do a drawing like on maybe two fingers on each hand.

Because it is a detailed drawing you do not have to do it on each finger.

This is what a finished hand looks like, I made a few dots with O.P.I. Silver pack because that covers really well.

And some little specks with glitter polish.

Have fun with this look, let me know how it goes,

Feeling autumn

I think this was one the last days were the sun was fully shining and the weather was nice.

Summer is really over.

This is the time when blogging gets a little bit more difficult for me.

I have a fulltime job but usually I could take my photos after work because it would still be light outside but now that is getting darker sooner I can see that window of time getting smaller and smaller.

So I will have to be running around more on my days off, which I am not complaining about because I love blogging.

I just sometimes need daylight in a day these upcoming months.

A simple thing

I told you guys once before that you do not need to buy new clothes all the time to make you feel special.

Sometimes you can in your closet a little bit to find old/ new treasures.

For this outfit that was the case.

This top is from the hm and really I forgot that I had it so it feels like a complete new top.

I paired it up with another forgotten gem, my lace miniskirt ( that I had before it was a blogger essential )

So there is a whole new outfit that I dug out from the bottoms of my closet space, given a new life.

Which outfit are you gonna give a new chance?

A story about my weightgain!?

As some of you may or may not know I have been going to the gym for a couple of months now hoping to lose some extra weight.

I have never considerd myself as fat or overweight but I just felt that gained a bit too much for me and what I normally looked like.

From the get go I saw my weight go down with a couple of kilo's but I never really saw it myself.

I would get compliments from people and they would asked what I was doing but I never saw the change myself.

My clothes did fit better but I just expected to really see it.

About two months ago the number on my scale wasnt going down anymore on the contrary it was going up!

I felt a slight rush of panic.

Wasnt I working hard enough? Am I getting used to these excersizes?

I told my boyfriend about this and he just said your muscles weigh more than your fat.

So the weight that I was losing in the beginning was fat and now I am gaining more muscle.

Of course I thought, it shouldn't be about your weightloss in the end it wasnt for me.

I feel better, stronger and more secure now and I havent lost a kilo, I gained 4 kilo and I feel great.
