I'm from Holland, can you tell?

<div style="text-align: justify;">For the Show us your country challenge on <a href="http://www.parokeets.com/2011/01/parokeets-challenge-show-us-your-country/">Parokeets</a> I have made some typical Dutch nails :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKHiyhM0tPrb48jxF-R_5O6G151p1GelDcCjzY6-Vdr2l_f5lasyL5881sThUuFt-LLxy8iHhZk4CTru3F7d4c2gr7xjvyRRHtW_Z_7HpseI_w0oNff4pa-2wB_8JT6-_4VDg9vzNrZGU/s1600/Show+us+your+country+-Diana-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKHiyhM0tPrb48jxF-R_5O6G151p1GelDcCjzY6-Vdr2l_f5lasyL5881sThUuFt-LLxy8iHhZk4CTru3F7d4c2gr7xjvyRRHtW_Z_7HpseI_w0oNff4pa-2wB_8JT6-_4VDg9vzNrZGU/s400/Show+us+your+country+-Diana-.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">My inspiration were the typical things that are used to make my country recognizable for foreign people, the images that are used on postcards or you can see in souvenir shops. So I made my own water decals of those things.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">My country is well known for their cheese so I have a piece of cheese on my pinkie. On my ring finger I have a farmer girl in traditinal clothing on wooden shoes holding a mill. A lot of foreign people think that everyone in my country walks on wooden shoes (clogs) but it is just a part of the old fashioned traditional clothing, of course there are still people who walk on wooden shoes, but that is mostly in the country life. My country is also famous for their tulips, so I have wooden shoes and a red tulip on my middle finger. On my index finger I have a mill, that is also something that can't be missing. My thumb has a black and white cow on it. You can identify my country by these five things, they all have a connection. You often see them together on photo's or postcards. Then you see a scenery of tulips with cows, mills and farmer people on wooden shoes. And the milk from the cows is used to make cheese.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">On the tip of my nails I've stamped the colors of my coutry's flag. Konad SN blue, red and M44. The base is OPI Alpine Snow with a layer of P2 Divine.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">So this is my way to show you my country ;)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Can you tell by looking only at my nails that I'm from Holland?</div>
