My latest work

I did these nails, at myself.

London in May, maybe...

The 18th. to 19th. of May Nailympics (Olympics in nails) will be held in London. I so want to be there, to see and prepare for competing myself. The only problem is that I will be back from Portugal the 16th. and I know it's heavy to have such a tight schedule. On the other hand, I really want to go... Decisions decisions... it's hard for me to decide...

Dusseldorf - international?

After being in Dusseldorf for two days I find it strange that very few people speak English. I thought Dusseldorf was an international city, with all the international fashion , hair and beauty-shows. When going to shops lots of people even have problems with telling you the price in English! I find it strange that, when you ask for the price in English, they just answer you in German.

Even at the tram to the exhibition they don't speak English, there is no information in English and at the show-area very few spoke English and there were little information in English. Again, strange....

Beauty International Dusseldorf

WOW, WOW, WOW!

This is the largest beauty-show I have ever been to. There were 9 halls. I don't know if all of them were used, but at least 5-6 were.

The nail-section was as big as half the Excel in London! After hours at the nail-section my feet couldn't bare me to the other halls! All the well known brands were there, but also lots of brands I've never heard of.










The world championship in nails was held too. This picture is from the competition area.Today it was gel category. I don't know how many countries that entered, but I could see the Norwegian, the Danish, the German, the Swedish and the Finish flag. (I am not very good in flags...) As I know the Finish girl, from the internet, I met her and we had a chat. It was very nice getting to know her!

I'll go back tomorrow, before my flight home. I promise, I'll be back next year!

Spring in Dusseldorf

Before the beauty-show I went to the city-center. In a city-guide for Dusseldorf it was said that the shops opened at 09.00. That is not true, most of them opens at 10.00. It was sunny, but freezing cold.




Because I was freezing and needed something to do from 09.30-10.00 I ended up at a Heinemann. On ground floor there is a very nice chocolate-shop and upstairs there is a cafe. I bought myself a cappuchino with cream and chocolate on top. Nice!








I also ended up bying myself some chocolate.... As I collect boxes, I needed those two....:-)

I haven't heard about Heinemann, but I think it's a well known place. When I walked upstairs, to the cafe, I could see pictures of lots of famous people who had been to the cafe, among them, the Pope.

I went to Ferragamo, but I didn't find anything this time! (Good for my bank-account....:-))

The food at Radisson SAS Dusseldorf

The breakfast was... once again... cold... At least the cold food WAS cold and didn't look like it had been there for hours, but the hot food was not hot enough.

There were scrambled egg, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes etc.... A selection of cold meat, juices, some cereals and a wide selection of bread. You could also make your own waffles.

I had room service today too. I ordered steak. It was very nice, and again, plenty of food.

PS I love you

I bought this book today. I tried to read it at the flight to Dusseldorf, but it was so heart-breaking I had to put it away. I was afraid my eyes would overflow...
