Velvet Nails

Ph, Private

Inspired by the Ciate velvet manicure I went to the craftshop to find some velvet powder. I found a few shiny powders with wool fibers in it. Add a layer nailpolish and directly sprinkle a generous amount of powder on it. Spread it using a finger and then gently wipe the 'too much' off your fingers. The powder I used had no problem with water and isn't damaged after small bumps. You can use a nail polish remover to take it off, it just takes a bit longer. I also bought a less shiny white version, I'm going to use it soon.

Acne Cypress boots | Acne Rider low boots

Like I told you yesterday, I've bought two pair of Acne shoes. The Rider low in cognac and the Cypress in black. I liked both a lot when I first saw them, but when I went to the Acne store in Amsterdam they didn't had a size 41. On internet they were sold out quickly, so I didn't had a chance to buy them online. I don't know if I even wanted to buy them online, I rather try shoes first. Yesterday I went to look for winter-coats at Humanoid in Arnhem when I saw those boots. The sales assistant attended me at the fact that they had discount. Both still in my size (Acne shoes run quite big, not too many people have a 41,5-42).

For dinner we ate some grilled vegetables, salad and salmon, a delicious meal. Today I had a day off and ironed all the laundry which I'd collected for a month. Hurray to silk items, really comfortable to wear but a horror to iron.

I've browsed through the amazing amount of images I've stored on my laptop. I made a small selection of the  photos that inspire me at this moment. There are some recent but also a few very old photos between them.

Have a nice weekend!
