Kingsday waterfall nails and Elevation Polish - Epidote

It has been Kingsday in The Netherlands for the very first time ever!
Naturally I needed to match my nails to the festivities: I did waterfall nails this year.
As a base I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, for the waterfall I used OPI a Roll in The Hague, Nicole by OPI Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi, OPI Red Lights Ahead Where? and Koh! Rock Chick.
I have just one pic that is showable here (I was in a hurry and messed up the rest of the photo's).....

Kingsday 2014

It looked way more festive in real live, not dirty and washed out like above >sigh<

Back to real live; a while ago I bought this lovely holografic polish at Elevation Polish and wore it immediatly and loved it to bits!
It is Epidote, a light olive colour with scattered holografic particles (no spectraflair).

Elevation Polish - Epidote

Epidote is yummy and squishy and very spring appropriate I think: it reminds me of budding leaves and fresh flower stems. This was a pretty thick 2 layers, the consistency was a bit syrupy but workable.

Bye bye Beatrix! With OPI tricolore and wimpel

Koningin Beatrix (bron)

Prince Willem Alexander (bron)

Today is the day of the abdication of the throne by queen Beatrix of The Netherlands. Her son Willem Alexander will be king from this day forward.
To celebrate this last Koninginnedag (Queensday) I created a festive Holland nail art thingy....with 4 OPI colours:

    OPI - Y'all Come Back Ya Hear

    OPI - Red Lights Ahead.....Where?

    OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls 

    OPI - Eurso Euro

The Flag with "wimpel" (bron)

First there was the "wimpel" (banderol) I used OPI Y'all Come Back Ya Hear as a juicy canvas for the tricolore (3 layers).
The flag was made with a dotting tool in the OPI colours Red Lights Ahead Where, My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Eurso Euro (in that order).

The result:

OPI - Come Back Y'all - Red Lights ahead Where? - My Boyfriend Scales Walls - Eurso Euro

I am very pleased with the result, the only thing is that the polish retracted a bit from the edge of the nail....a very Seche Vite thing to do for my Poshé topcoat......
The jellyness of the orange gives a nice little contrast with the creme dots.
Well; happy happy, joy joy, I'm ready to party!!!!!!!

Thank you Beatrix and welcome Willem 4!!!

Skittle manicure with OPI Holland Collection

Today I am wearing a happy "Oilily" manicure in three colors of the OPI Holland Collection: OPI kiss me on the tulips (pink), OPI a roll in the Hague (orange) and OPI red lights ahead....where? (red). I just could not choose so I put them all on my claws :-)

All colors are two layers and the polish had a nice consistency. The orange was a bit thick but workable.

This is what it looks like:

Opi red lights ahead ... where? OPI a roll in the Hague, OPI kiss me on the tulips

index and middle: OPI red lights ahead ... where?

ring: OPI a roll in the Hague

Pinkie and thumb: OPI kiss me on the tulips

I am sorry for the poor lighting: the weather is awful here in The Netherlands....everything is grey.

Hope you enjoy my blogging efforts!

Thanks to Oilily
