NAILART: GOLD BLUE V

It's time for a new nailart of the day. Since I became obsessed by nail art, I'm also checking out some other nail art blogs sometimes for inspiration. But in comparison to them; I feel like a f*cking newbie. Their nails are always perfectly done: no leftovers or colors outside the lines nor scratches from bumping to something: in short: an artful job. Well I'm hoping I'll walk the line too in the future. I definitely won't stop trying! So here a little DIY:

                                                                                                                                          
STEP 1: Choose a base color. (I chose a blue one from primark.)

STEP 2: Cut some angles from 90° from a piece of paper. (The degrees don't matter; but they look more the same then) Paste them on your nails with a bit scotch tape.

STEP 3: Polish over the angles with another color (I chose a violet one from primark). Important: make sure the angles are tight enough and allow to dry.

STEP 4: You can now use a cotton bud, a toothpick or nail art pen to improve the angles and add a 3th color.

TADAAAAAAAA

outfit of the day: dr. Sadface

It's been a while again, but this was kinda a busy weekend. I went back to the club I've told you about in this post on sunday, even after I went saturday also to a party in the neighborhood. I couldn't get enough of it, I guess. The famous Carl Craig came to La Rocca; but although I had heard that he waz ab-so-lu-te-ly a-ma-zing, he could not redeem my expectations... But Iris Menza, who played saturday waz awesome. Seriously a girl playing such a good set, I was totally amazed... and I wasn't the only one; the vibe was absolutely great there!

So between this partying, I quickly took some outfit-pictures of an outfit I wore that week (yeah i know; better to catch outfit of the nights this weekend; but time was too short!). It reminds me a bit of Sherlock Holmes.

The coat & blouse are thrifted for only 1€/piece!!! (gotta love Think Twice) In this times of crisis: what can you buy for €1? A can of coke zero, maybe a pack of chewing gum? But a coat or blouse? Keepz me surprising!
Here some pictures, but don't pay attention to my sad faces, I had probably a bit problems with sunday-feeling with thiz awful hurricane-like winds!

wearing: coat / blouse / jacket (thrifted) - jeans (Levi's curve ID) - necklace (zara) - earrings (h&m) - shoes (pull&bear)

btw: for those who are interested (only belgians): I'm selling clothes till friday on louvintage!

FRIENDZ EVENTZ: halloween - "komen eten"

Hi!
Wednesday-evening, @ halloween, we did the second part of "komen eten". (Like I said before; it's a dutch program where each character has to cook a complete meal & the others have to give some points and after everyone has cooked; a winner will be announced). But surely it's a student-edition (It's not like we can afford a lobster belle vue or can make a rack of lamb or something ;)), so everything is a bit basic. Our host was Tom, normally a very clumsy person, but he did a perfect job I think! He made us a halloweenpunch with eyeballz in it (an abundance of alcohol, it waz, haha), a delicious surf & turf entree followed by a tastefull main course with pasta pesto & filled meatballs. Not to forget; he closed the meal with a dame-blanche (although it waz a bit milkshake by melting...). We didn't dress halloween style because we went partying afterwards, but with my halloween-nails, I remained still in theme. So with a lot of tasty food and too much booze in our tummy we went partying and danced the night away with a light head. Thanks for the great evening!

I will post some pics of it & want to show you my new necklace I finally bought @ zara & which I showed you in this post a while ago ;)

hosting, cooking, a stressfull event for Tom!

NAILART: Halloween nails

Boooooooooooooooooh, it's almost halloween time. Although we Belgians don't celebrate it like an american, I like it very much! When I was younger, I even went on the road to "trick or treat". There were a lot of astonished faces & awkward moments ("Ok, and why exactly are you here?"), simply because we Belgians don't do these things... Such a pity.. so for not losing my halloween mood, I polished my nailz very spookyyyy. 

Thiz iz how we do it:

STEP 1: Paint your nails with a base colour of your choice; preferably a light-ish colour. (I chose a skin-color from catrice + I tested the python top coat from Bourjois on my pinkie: I will show you guys how it works in another post)

STEP 2: Dip a toothpick into red nail varnish and then apply an uneven coat to the tips of your nailz to create a blood dripping effect

STEP 3: Then apply a lighter red varnish on top to create a more bloody effect.

STEP 4: Apply a top coat so it lasts longer and adds a finishing shine.

TADAAAAA: HAPPY HALLOWEEN xoxo

Silly, I know, but when the temperatures start to fall, I'm less happy outside. Upcoming winter depression..? It's always a bit of getting used to it, but first: I have to find a new winter coat. And believe me or not; a new coat (and I mean a thick and warm but still fashionable) = 4 me the hardest thing to find. So I will keep you posted on my quest. During my surfing, I found a lot of veryyy nice thingz. But I have to wait till I glean some money for a serious winter-shopping. Instead, I will share it with you guyz.

How to ombré? VS crackle!

Yezzzz, except eating (I'm playing the dutch 'Komen eten' with some friendz), I've been very busy with some nail art lately. A couple of years ago I was NEVER wearing nail polish. But now?! Can't believe it: I'm a serious addict these days. When I go outside without, I'm feeling naked! As you knew from my previous post I mostly love the brand Catrice. 

Now I will show you my creations of the last week.

HOW TO OMBÉ?!

1. Apply a base coat in the color you want. 

2. Choose a color for the ombré-effect & take a little sponge.

3. Apply the other color on the sponge (not to thick; then you get bubbles).

4. Make a rolling motion on your nail with the sponge.

5. You can remove the leftovers & eventual you can retouch with the first color for

    a smoother transition.

6. If you want to; you can apply some glitters on the transition for a special effect.

RESULT

CRACKLE NAILS

I bought this one @ Primark; it's very easypeasy to apply.

1. Apply the base coat.

2. Apply the crackle and poof: the crackle look appears, apply the top coat to keep it longer.

Which one do you prefer?!

outfit of the day: Preppy pastel

Haaah, those weekends; it's like I don't experience them consciously. Since I'm in college I have the feeling that time flies. (seriously, @ excessive speed) It's also the first time I needed an agenda: planning = necessary; because time is money, or that's what they say. Mostly, my time of real chillin' is during holidays. But I know, I shouldn't complain, because there will be a time to go working and then the REAL life-time-management will start. Anywayz; I wore this outfit @ a little reception today of our neighbors: they opened their refurbished garden center. Normally; I wear this outfit with my fluffy duffy electric blue winter coat; but since the temperatures are absolutely NOT winter-matic; I decided to wear just a little jacket. (and even that waz tooooo warm!) 

Wearing:

Blouse (Forever 21) - skirt & shoes (urban outfitters) - jacket (zara) - vintage satchel (ilovevintage.com) - earrings (Jutka & Riska Antwerp)






oh btw: I finally succeeded making a fishbone braid: 3 times hurray to myself.
