She had just received her nail polish wall displays/racks and did not had any tools/supplies to hang them up on her wall. So I immediately asked my dad if he had any screws for me and if I could borrow his tools....and there I went to the railway station to get on the train with everything. It was soooo hot that day luckily Giuditta picked me up at the station with her bike so all the heavy stuff could go in het bicycle bags. It was a long walk to her home but in the mean time we had a lot of time to chat and visit some stores :) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We had so much fun that day, especially when I was saying/grumbling that my dad gave me the smallest screwdrivers I had ever seen and he probably thought.."Oh women have small hands or something" and after we were done I found the handle where I supposed had click them in.....hahaha I felt sooo stupid and dumb. Another hilarious thing was when we were rearranging her nail polishes by brand and color she said... "Oh those two really look a like" and then she picked them up and looked at the bottom and saw a big surprise....THEY WERE THE SAME ;)  and both of them she bought recently. She gave one bottle to me, as a thank you gift a long with some decals she received that day, for helping that day.....thank you so much ♥<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5d39y55cIsD1x6_m74BePg0fnIFPCKXOvPY_kfX1ocW2PnCEdYrSfrR0fmV2-rLo3feQ1JmpRZZGVje8CRoIg7gdTl2gaTb1YTq8r-F4BEStmTjfgvEHlPi9aiWKiVmMfHF2Ut8vnDak/s1600/Mijn+gekregen+CC+lakje+en+decals.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5d39y55cIsD1x6_m74BePg0fnIFPCKXOvPY_kfX1ocW2PnCEdYrSfrR0fmV2-rLo3feQ1JmpRZZGVje8CRoIg7gdTl2gaTb1YTq8r-F4BEStmTjfgvEHlPi9aiWKiVmMfHF2Ut8vnDak/s400/Mijn+gekregen+CC+lakje+en+decals.jpg" t8="true" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Here you can see my new friend (Color Club Total Mystery) going to his new home in the train ;) with some typical grass landscape behind it through the window.

Queensday nails from 2010 & 2009

<div style="text-align: justify;">On April 30th we celebrate Queensday here in Holland. And ofcourse I always make some matching nails. I will make my nails for this year tomorrow, but today I'll show my Q-day nails from last year and the year before that ;) Our national color is orange and the color of our flag are red, white and blue.
