It was sunny, bright blue skies and exactly 2 years after my brainbleeding, 15/03/11, the perfect date for my new tattoo. It was the first beautiful springlike day of 2011, very special and unexpected. I had been looking forward to this for so long but wasn’t allowed to get another tattoo since I was on bloodthinners for quite a while. I wanted 4 butterflies on my inner ankle/leg. The number 4 has always been my lucky number, although it has never brought me any fortune, I’ve always been drawn to that number! Weird uh?

I’ve been the proud owner of a tattoo already, a design I had been in love with from the first moment I had seen it. But something went wrong. The shop I went to was pretty well known (my sister and stepbrother had already gotten a tattoo there) so I expected a lot. Unfortunately, the woman who tattoo’d me was a guestartist and she didn’t put in the details I wanted. I just accepted it the way it was and figured I could always have someone adjust it later on. I decided to get it fixed in the same appointment of my new tattoo. Since it’s kinda hard to make a good picture of my back I can only show you my original tattoo for now(yes it was summer lol, I want my tanned back back!) :

And my new one….in the bright morning sun ♥

Each butterfly represents a part of my life. The lowest and biggest butterfly is for Health/Life, something I now value above all other things. The other three are Love, Happiness and Knowledge. In knowledge I also think of school, which I’m still trying to finish after missing half a year because I was recovering at home. It’s getting somewhere though! In June I’ll be done with lawschool and in September I want to start at another university to specialize.

I’m not going to get all smoochy and sentimental here, but justremember to live and enjoy each and every moment.. cause you never know when it will all end. Make the best of it and have no regrets. Things happen for a reason, learn from it, and move on stronger! *end preach*

Take care sweet internetfriends and thank you for inspiring me each and every day! HUG!

Ghello! I is back! Today is my comeback day, the sun is shining and I gave myself a day off from all the schoolwork I still have laying around. First things first though, cause I’ve been putting a review on hold for quite a while and now’s the time to make it happen.

Jessica from Born Pretty Store contacted me in January if I would be willing to review some of their products. Can you imagine how flattered I was? Did someone actually come to ME?! for a review? That’s a first She gave me the opportunity to pick some items from her shop and two weeks later I received her package, yay!

Since it’s been a crackle walhalla in nailpolishland lately I figured I’d introduce you to a (to me unknown) polish brand with a wide variety of crackle colors: Kelier Nail.

The name of this polish is ‘red’ which is a little misleading since this baby is very vibrant pink! Not bad at all actually, cause the tought of a pink crackle excites me even more! I’ve never tried a crackle polish before so I was very anxious to see the results…

I applied one normal coat of Kelier on my still wet Essence Lime Up!. I’ve read several reviews in which was said that applying on a dry base would make it not crack properly. I didn’t wanna take the risk. After applying the waiting and staring part began.. it didn’t take long though!

So..my final judgement? ♥ HOLY COW!♥ This looks so cool, seriously! I think the base gives great contrast to the bright pink. I would totally wear this again. I didn’t apply a topcoat, yet. You can imagine that would make the mani even more beautiful and glossy. This crackle costs only $4.52 and the available colors are: black, purple, green, yellow, watermelon (!), blue and red.

A special thanks goes out to Jessica from Born Pretty Store for her kindness and generousity. You can visit the store at www.bornprettystore.com and see the great (cheap!) products for yourself. Also, shipping is FREE! I’m very glad to tell you something else as well, you can now use the coupon code BP299 to get a free Hello Kitty Nail Art Stamping Plate!

See you soon and thanks for stopping by again dearies!

As promised, my share of the well known Gosh Holographic. I never really had that much interest in this one but when I heard it was going to be discontinued I had to go and get it, to sooth my mind. What if?!?!?!? I ever decide I do want it and you can’t get it anymore?!?! The drama, right? So here we are, on request.. no wait.. rather a command from Jeanette on twitter (from the lovely http://the-swatchaholic.com) that I HAD to use it, since it was still sealed and never used :$

Before putting it on I had my doubts, why even try it since it can never top Nfu Oh’s 63 (the only Nfu Oh holo I own) anyway! But, I’m taking back these silly words, it cannot top it, but it can’t be compared either! This is a totally different holo. It’s a lot less in your face and the main focus is on the silver bling. Then when you actually move your fingers there is this very special holo effect which totally blew my mind

Application was smooth. I did use Gosh’s Fix Base Coat to be sure of no bald spots while applying multiple coats. It works like a charm and dried very quickly. The pictures show 3 thin coats, but 2 would have been just fine!

My sister gave me a cute idea today, she told me I had to make a Barbapapa mani..I really hope the majority of you isn’t going like “what the PEEP is Barbapablahblah?” haha. It’s a animated series for children and in my childhood days my sister and I were totally hooked on it haha. I’d say, if it doesn’t ring a bell, do Google it and laugh, then you know what to expect in my next post haha. Have a nice day girllssssss and see ya soon again!

Oh oh oh, it’s been so long! I know! I can think of a million excuses but I won’t go there I figured I’d pull one from my achives that I have’t showed you yet. I know it’s been featured like 508374859347535 times but hey, one can never get enough of this one, eh? don’t think I need to put a lot down of words to describe this lacquer, it’s pure 200% awesomeness! Flakey rainbow heaven baby, ooooh yeah! Take a look:

the oh so pretty bottle ♥

in the shade ♥

oh sunny days! ♥

Stay tuned for more awesomeness, tomorrow I’m showing you the well known and discontinued Gosh Holographic! I was happy to score this polish before it was totally sold out once the news of it being discontinued came out.

Now time for some R&R (rest & relaxation), I’ve been walking around in Rotterdam all day, a dutch city where a Tattoo Convention was held, was very inspiring! Saw some amazing things, even things that made me alter my design for the second tattoo I’m getting this tuesday, whohoo! Think I’ll do a post about it with pictures and a matching mani, oh the fun! Thnx for stopping by! ☼
