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!

Day 125) Nail art Dutch Liberation Day
On May 4th, we hold "Dodenherdenking" (Remembrance of the Dead) for the people who fought and died during World War II and in wars in general. There are remembrance gatherings all over cities and in the country. Throughout the country, two minutes of silence are observed at 8 p.m.
On May 5th, we celebrate "Bevrijdingsdag" (Liberation Day) to mark the end of the occupation by Nazi Germany during World War II. Festivals are held at most places in the Netherlands, with parades of veterans and musical events.
This year we celebrate at home. It's a sunny day.
Lots of time to make a nice nail art for this occasion.

Day 119) Nail art Queensday
Tomorrow is the abdication of our Queen Beatrix and the investiture of Prince Willem-Alexander.
A day in history for our small country The Netherlands.
Of course I have to do a nail art about this:
On the left you see a homemade waterdecal of our Queen Beatrix en on the right is our new King Willem-Alexander.
The rest is hand painted.

Day 117) Kingsday nail art
Today is Kingsday in the Netherlands.
Not official yet because the crowning is on Tuesday when it's Queensday.
It's been a while since we had a king so everybody is very excited and already celebrating this day.
For this day I have to do some national nail art.
Less interesting for you guys....??
No! You can still use the designs in different colours or make your own national nail art with it.
These colours are my base for the nail arts.
N.B. Our flag contains red, white and blue and the colour we use at special events like the Olympics, Queensday is orange.
1)
I started with some randomly placed red dots. For this I used a dottingtool. After the reds I did some orange dots and finished it with some blue dots. Outcome: Dutch confetti
2)
First I made a gradual design with white on the middle of the nail.
I do this because my red and blue aren't good for 1 coat. At least not when they are applied on darker colours like the orange.
The first step gets a red colour. The second a white and the third a blue colour. I like to give my designs some golden accents because of the king/queen. But it also gives the opportunity to disguise some failures.
3)
Start by making a crown.
Make two ribbons underneath the crown.
Give the ribbons the colours of your flag.
I detailed the nail art by giving the crown some gold (bottom) and gold glitters (outlines).
4)
For this design I simply used the same technique as you would do to make a tigerprint.
Place stripes alternately. Starting thicker on the outside and thinner at the inside.
5)
Start by making some balloons.
Then give the tip of the nail your flag colours by using something simple to apply (beads/billions/caviar, velvet or in this case glitters).
Use a brush to paint one stripe of clear coat on the desired place. Glitter it. Then apply the second stripe of clear coat and glitter it. Do the same for the last colour.
