My mani for the Swiss National Holiday on 1 August

Two posts in a day - oh boy, I am on a roll, eh? So welcome back lovies - I want to show you the mani I wore for the Swiss National Holiday. Ever since I morphed into a  nailpolish addict, I enjoy Holidays so much more because of the manis I can come up with. I usually start pondering about them days ahead enjoying tossing ideas round my head. In my earlier post I showed you my failed stamping decal and since I am not one to easily give up, I went for it again:




My Skittelette:
Pinkie and thumb: two coats of Picture Polish Columbia
Ring: two coats of Colors by Llarowe Coconut stamped with Essie Don't Sweater It, using MoYou Pro Plate Collection 04
Middle: two coats of Opi Over And Over A Gwen
Index: two coats of Colors by Llarowe Coconut stamping decal using MoYou Pro Plate XL Collection 06 filled with Opi Over And Over A Gwen

I did not fill the petals but only accentuated them as I wanted to keep the sheer off-white base visible.


This mani was a perfect start for a perfect 1 August - everything was just right, it was warm, sunny and I went for a superb BBQ with friends in the evening to watch all the fireworks round us. The only one not being very happy about the Holiday was my poor Nell - they do fire crackers like mad in my area and the poor thingy was beside himself hiding under the bed for two days.

    You are spoiling us with two posts!!! :-D

    This looks really lovely! I do like the stamping as well :-)

    That's a shame about Nell :-( My cats are okay with fireworks! They don't mind them. It's more the really bad wind that does freak a few of them out sometimes!

      Glad you enjoyed my double posting - thank you sweetie xxx! I like the stamping too I have to admit, My Nailpolish Online even did some roses over the text stamping - THAT looked awesome, I tell you :-)!

      Awww poor kitties - well Nell is not appreciative of strong winds either, I think it messes too much with his fur. The fireworks itself would not be such a bother in the first place - it is those bangs that are so in trend here that come only with noise, not with any light, sparkle, stars or what have you - those give him the creeps and frankly with a couple of them I myself felt short of a heart attack. Well we are done till New Years Eve with that...

    Such a lovely skittelette! I love that the stamping decal is sheer here and there, it looks so delicate that way!

    What a beautiful skittelette, Christine! I love the way the stamping nails (index and ring) turned out... the designs and colors are lovely. :) Aww poor Nell. I dread "loud" holidays because they freak out my chinchilla too. Poor pets... probably think a predator is coming for them. ^^
