Ik had nog een paar mooie swatches van de OPI Holland collectie van 2012 (deze lakken heb ik later toch nog snel aangeschaft, ik kan zooooo enorm twijfelen wat vaak in dikke vette spijt resulteert...eigen schuld...) dus dit vond ik wel een mooie gelegenheid om deze nog even aan je te laten zien.
A Roll in The Hague is misschien wel de meest toepasselijke kleur, deze feloranje is natuurlijk een must op koninginnedag (dit jaar nog op 30 April, vanaf volgend jaar, na de troonwsisseling, als Willem Alexander koning is, wordt er koningsdag op 27 April gevierd) en The Hague is natuurlijk ook de woonplaats van de huidige Koningin. Thanks a Windmillion is een hele mooie rustgevende zachtgroene cremelak, de tegenpool van A Roll in The Hague, misschien een optie om te dragen na al het feesten? ;) Beide lakken zijn gelakt in twee laagjes, ik heb geen topcoat gebruikt voor de foto's.
I am sure you might have heard the news about the Dutch royals. Queen Beatrix will abdiacate the throne in favor of her son prince Willem Alexander. Beatrix has spent over three decades on the throne and she will be a queen to remember. Beatrix is warm and kind, a perfect example of dignity and grace. People look forward to the future, but I am sure many will miss the Queen. The Netherlands did not have a king for over a 100 years, so this is quite historical). The Queen's speech made me emotional, and I don't tear up quickly, but her words were beautiful and moving. (My stephson could not believe I was crying over the news, lol)
This might surprise you but royals have always fascinated me. As a young girl I watched Sissi movies over and over again (the dresses, the palace, the jewellery...) and I am still just as fascinated by the royals today. I especially love the stylish princess of fashion Màxima, who can wear very daring outfits but always looks elegant and tasteful.
I still had some nice OPI Holland 2012 collection swatches to show you (I got them while I could, I have to stop thinking to much about buying polishes, there are so many that I did not get and now regret...)
A Roll in The Hague might be the perfect bright orange shade for Queensday (a National holiday to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, from next year we will celebrate Kingsday) not only is the shade orange, which is the last name of the royal family, but they also live in The Hague. Thanks a windmillion is a soothing calming green, after all those celebrations, you might need something less bright ;) Both polishes are applied in two coats, I did not use topcoat for these pictures.
