Dropping by, because it's been waaay to long since I last posted. Not because I don't enjoy doing my nails anymore, but because I've been busy with cleaning out my old bedroom at my parents'. It will be my little brother's room from now on, so on top of cleaning and sorting everything out I also decided to do a complete makeover to make it really his own. Almost all of my old stuff is moved out, the walls have been painted over, the DIY-bed will be put together this weekend, which means all the hard work is finally coming to an end. I also sewed him this pillow cover with his initial that I thought would be fun to share with you. After the cover was done I painted on the capital J with the help of adhesive vinyl and tape.

In nail art and beyond.)\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiQuVc23OVPpD_J3Co1exMqDEAt3c2DJTLPed5ejo8Gw_Vzm9bU1u0DTc4ymWlvg3o2my21IDJuwE0JesYY827d2ChpbRoXIBC8sZ9WJR1d23_YLcLx5rWIzBDfn6rAAxnduoEOZYDrR_LZ\/s1600\/02.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiQuVc23OVPpD_J3Co1exMqDEAt3c2DJTLPed5ejo8Gw_Vzm9bU1u0DTc4ymWlvg3o2my21IDJuwE0JesYY827d2ChpbRoXIBC8sZ9WJR1d23_YLcLx5rWIzBDfn6rAAxnduoEOZYDrR_LZ\/s640\/02.png\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiS_9OuXNzcA_a8sq-XKPM2pqD5u3a4oY4A9bxjUu400vNJ8scxJ79W2RA4bbiJvK4hyphenhyphenBeOdzN8SD-kKRNziGXIGFKtASRVkDyN-L1-LfZkLvjNQfCfzhsX_qKPppVl_uwUIph8HffUUwQU\/s1600\/03.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiS_9OuXNzcA_a8sq-XKPM2pqD5u3a4oY4A9bxjUu400vNJ8scxJ79W2RA4bbiJvK4hyphenhyphenBeOdzN8SD-kKRNziGXIGFKtASRVkDyN-L1-LfZkLvjNQfCfzhsX_qKPppVl_uwUIph8HffUUwQU\/s640\/03.png\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIn between all the steps I managed to take some crappy pictures.

Sometimes the result is rubbish and disappointing, and sometimes it looks way better than I could've imagined. Either way, I really enjoy the process of experimenting with nail art. Which is also how I came up with today's nails. The only two conditions I had set for myself this time were that I would use teal as the main color and that I would do freehanded nail art. So that's what I did. I picked China Glaze Custom Kicks for the teal base, the mint green strokes are Orly Ancient Jade and later I added the black lines and red and white dots. The design is totally random, but I'm really happy with how these turned out - certainly when I got a compliment about it from a complete stranger. Woohoo!\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.nailside.com\/feeds\/6578586744851933846\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.nailside.com\/2016\/01\/experimani.html#comment-form","title":"26 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4799177799017560185\/posts\/default\/6578586744851933846"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4799177799017560185\/posts\/default\/6578586744851933846"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.nailside.com\/2016\/01\/experimani.html","title":"Experimani"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Jane"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/02748754920535871897"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-F69b0AxO0Ok\/TZRTbTikJGI\/AAAAAAAAAYY\/SDH6iqWrjHg\/s220\/profile.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhBWZUOQiEGNItOIzRD69M5olA3ADnwMAlCT0wjZH9XcAZ5eVqKIND4VxjJD6QeZh91fbW3RZB1VHpCOCvHzp_bMHZZyUi6WfCRZpgKs9VOYy0qRf3RITtQeJj-Bl9X_AGYWDXLbcO96sQ0\/s72-c\/01.png","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"26"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4799177799017560185.post-3236924915083725700"},"published":{"$t":"2016-01-12T19:04:00.000+01:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2016-06-05T22:55:05.242+02:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Art Deco"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Catrice"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Freehand"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Matt"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Metallic"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Purple"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Shimmer"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Silver"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Little Strokes of Metal"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiU6Jyuz3anKM8MQwAWVuobS3_yp4pOelABL728cKsFUmP_8uJH8Rmq698YbROOPUjfy3XKQ8NQl92OOl2aUOp4JfXHIUynWxdLLucgKue2LkxWuJfb9NH6zDNchXqrOBitzwzfL8fXfRPq\/s1600\/01.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiU6Jyuz3anKM8MQwAWVuobS3_yp4pOelABL728cKsFUmP_8uJH8Rmq698YbROOPUjfy3XKQ8NQl92OOl2aUOp4JfXHIUynWxdLLucgKue2LkxWuJfb9NH6zDNchXqrOBitzwzfL8fXfRPq\/s640\/01.png\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nHi guys, for this post I have these silver strokes to share with you. I just had to do some art deco linework again. I like how elegant it looks, plus painting those thin lines with a striper brush somehow has a very therapeutic effect on me.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\nThe striper polish I used is Janet #201. It's not very opaque, which causes each line to look different in terms of coverage. But I actually like that, I think it makes the look more dynamic. The smokey purple basecolor is How I Matt Your Mother from Catrice. It dries with a semi-matt, so-called \"brushed metal effect\", which isn't really visible in the picture, but I just loved the color and the formula is great. That was it for today, thanks for reading! :)\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.nailside.com\/feeds\/3236924915083725700\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.nailside.com\/2016\/01\/little-strokes-of-metal.html#comment-form","title":"6 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4799177799017560185\/posts\/default\/3236924915083725700"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4799177799017560185\/posts\/default\/3236924915083725700"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.nailside.com\/2016\/01\/little-strokes-of-metal.html","title":"Little Strokes of Metal"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Jane"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/02748754920535871897"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"32","height":"32","src":"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-F69b0AxO0Ok\/TZRTbTikJGI\/AAAAAAAAAYY\/SDH6iqWrjHg\/s220\/profile.jpg"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiU6Jyuz3anKM8MQwAWVuobS3_yp4pOelABL728cKsFUmP_8uJH8Rmq698YbROOPUjfy3XKQ8NQl92OOl2aUOp4JfXHIUynWxdLLucgKue2LkxWuJfb9NH6zDNchXqrOBitzwzfL8fXfRPq\/s72-c\/01.png","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"6"}}]}});
