World Cup nails Holland

In a few hours we will play the semi final against Argentina.

Now that we've come so far I really want us to win!

Today another set of nails that hopefully will bring some luck again ;D

As you will notice I had to file my nails down :(

I chopped some of the upper nail plate with my kitchen knife and to prevent further damage I decided to file off this thinner part.

The nail art isn't my best...I'm so tired and really didn't feel like making anything.

The quality of the picture isn't the best either.

After a lot of days with outside shooting.

We now have rain, rain and rain and I wasn't even able to take a picture outside.

But let's stop complaining and show you the nail art!

*football :-(*

But a mani is a mani right?

And luckily the colors of our flag are red, white and blue which makes mani's like these also usable for 4th of July ;-D

What's there?

I started with a white base on all nails.

Two nails got a diagonal gradient of red, white and blue and are topped with white nail tattoos:

World Cup nails (Holland!!)

The Father's Day nails had to leave because Holland had its first match today in the World Cup 2014.

There are a few events in Holland which colors our country orange and red/white/blue (flag) and this is one of them :D

I'm not a huge football/soccer fan but you can't skip the World Cup right?

Surprisingly we won so I guess I have to keep these nails for the next few weeks ;-P

These are the polishes I used:

From left to right:

- Rimmel Cocktail Colour 120 Shirley Temple

- Essence Hup Holland Hup 01 Topscorers

- Essence Hup Holland Hup 02 Hattrick!

And I added some free hand accents with acrylics.

Good luck all!!

Reto Hi5!

 

I'm not exactly sure where "Reto Hi5" started or came from and what it means.
But I do know that it is a chain of challenges.

When you receive this challenge from someone you can either ignore it (and break the chain) or take the challenge.

*I got challenged by the lovely +bubica vucko and her post of this challenge can be found here.*

She challenged me to paint "Flowers which represent my country for me".
I always love a challenge and this one isn't that hard for me.

The Netherlands is famous by their tulips.

 

 

The tulip industry is quite big and like the image above they make the Netherlands very colorful.

Needless to say that I had to paint tulips :D

I've done a tulip mani before with aquarel:

 

But this time I wanted to do something else. Something more than the tulips that represent my country.

I chose to include our national color orange, a wooden shoe and our flag

All very famous of course ;P

And I included one single tulip...cause less is more!

 

 

 Now, hope you like my design and it's time to pass this challenge on.

 

The Rules:

• You have to name the person who challenged you and do a manicure with the give challenge topic.
• Choose a new topic (whatever you want)
• Nominate 5 new persons and let them know they were nominated

Passing on:

• The new topic is: Explosion (make it your own! A few examples: bomb explosion, explosion of color, explosion of love, explosion of tears etc.)
• My 5 nominees are:
• +Karen Sulkowski 
• +Zoë March 
• +Aisuru Nails 
• +Sis Sissy 
• +roa' milas hamouda 

Good luck and I love to see it!!
