It's my birthday!I'm 30 years old!

My birthday nails:

Blurry to show the glitz:



Today, 9th of august 2010, is my birthday. No more twenties, no, I entered the world of thirtysomething women. I'm 30 years old!Yaaaaay!
My husband really did his best to find the best present ever for me: an Acer Aspire One notebook!And you know what? He also bought me a Hello Kitty mouse! Isn't that just the cutest gesture ever......
We're having a very low-key dinner party tonight, with just a few family members. I'm not feeling like the whole "big party thing" this year.
Something else: in april I said I was going to loose weight, and my aim was to have a healthy BMI on my 30th birthday: it didn't work out!I'm still fat!But I DID go to the gym, 3 times a week! Well, I guess I just have to start all over again:)
Is it o.k. for a 30 year old woman to wear a Hello Kitty fauxnadicure on her birthday? Well, since I make my own rules, I think it's just fine. I'm wearing 2 coats of OPI-Siberian Nights with Color Club-Hot Couture, hello kitty fauxnad and Seche Vite. It looks very festive and super bling, so it's 100% birthday proof. Well, that's all for now, thanx for looking!!!!

Essie-Marshmallow+Color Club-Hot Couture+Acrylic Sculpted Nails!

This evening I was fed up with my short nails, but I didn't feel like making a new set of gel nails with fake tips. Somehow the tips always make my nails look too wide. So, I decided to make a set of sculpted acrylic nails (using forms)which follow the exact lines of my natural nail. I also made them as thin and natural looking as possible. They are transparent, which looks amazing with glitter polish! Anyway, I'm very satisfied with the result, and I feel like wearing nail polish again!
I'm wearing 2 coats of the lovely Essie-Marshmallow, 1 coat of Color Club-Hot Couture, and 1 coat of Seche Vite. I'm loving this combination, it looks a lot more sparkly in real life than you can see in the pics. (I took these pictures inside, in the evening)
Have yourself a splendid weekend:)

Light Blue and Pink Glitter Cuteness.

Without Topcoat

With Topcoat


Color Club-Take Me To Your Chateau: 2 laagjes. Color Club-Vintage Couture: 2 laagjes. Color Club-Hot Couture: 1 laagje, +Seche Vite.
Toen ik TMTYC ontving, moest ik gelijk denken aan Vintage Couture; dezelfde samenstelling, dezelfde zachte pastelkleuren, het is gewoon familie! Dus moesten ze uiteraard samen in 1 manicure, voor een suikerzoete look. (zeer geschikt voor babyshowers,LOL)Om het nog zoeter te maken heb ik er nog een laagjes Hot Couture aan toegevoegd. Kawaii!!

Color Club-Take Me To Your Chateau: 2 coats. Color Club-Vintage Couture: 2 coats. Color Club-Hot Couture: 1 coat, +Seche Vite.
When I received TMTYC, I had to think about Vintage Couture; the same formula, the same soft pastel colours, they're family! So, ofcourse they had to be put together in one manicure, for a sugar sweet look. (very appropriate for babyshowers,LOL)
To make it even sweeter I added a coat of Hot Couture. Kawaii!!

New Color Club's.

Mijn nieuwe Color Club lakjes zijn binnen:). Van links naar rechts: High Society, Take Me To Your Chateau, Turn The Other Chic, Hot Couture.
Ze zijn allemaal geweldig, hebben een goede samenstelling en zijn zeer makkelijk aan te brengen. High Society heb ik ook even naast You Don't Know Jacques gezet, om te laten zien dat hij een stuk lichter is. Ik ben vooral erg onder de indruk van Take Me To Your Chateau, wat een schoonheid! Manicure foto's komen er uiteraard aan! (ik heb van alle kleuren 2 laagjes aangebracht)

My new Color Club polishes are in da house;). From left to right: High Society, Take Me To Your Chateau, Turn The Other Chic, Hot Couture.
They're all great, have a good formula and are very easy to apply. I also made a pic of High Society next to You Don't Know Jacques, to show it's quite a bit lighter.
I'm especially impressed by Take Me To Your Chateau, what a beauty! Manicure pics are, ofcourse, on their way. ( I used 2 coats for all colours)

This is two coats, no topcoat. It sparkles like crazy, you should check this one out in the sunlight, amazing!
