NOTD;; Folding Fans ♥♥

Hey all!

Yesterday I got some random inspiration to do a layered linear look to create a fan like shape. This was the outcome, and I love it!

Natural lighting

Very summer inspired, bright and fun, and a great way to liven up the coming February as we transition into almost-springtime. Counting the days!

NOTD;; Chromatic Weave ♥♥

Hey all!

Today i was recovering from a bit of a hangover and a sore throat, so I decided to just take it easy and play with my polish, since it's been so long. Here's the simple but (in my opinion) beautiful style I came up with!

I'm in love with this grey polish, it's so stormy and sophisticated. Really a great buy for $2.77 at Walmart.

It's Swatchtastic;; OPI Black Cherry Chutney! ♥♥

Hey all!

At school the other day my friend showed me this gorgeous colour, and I just had to try it on for size! It's definitely one I need to add to my repertoire. Something about almost-but-not-quite black colours are just so  sexy! Check this baby out...

Natural Lighting

There are more than a few colours like this out there, and I definitely wouldn't be against owning them all. It's one of those ones that people take a second glance at- "Oh, black nail polish. HEYWAITAMINUTEIT'SPURPLE!"

 So much fun!

NOTD;; Silver Lining ♥♥

Hey guys!

I've been taking manicure/pedicure classes for the last few months and I've been trying to perfect my french manicure, so I decided to try a two tone french. Check out the results!

When I tried on this gorgeous blue, I decided I definitely had to pair it with silver. Gives it a magical feel, don't you think?

It's Swatchtastic;; Revlon Brilliant Strength in Beguile ♥♥

Hey everyone!

So my roommate is quite obsessed with all things blue, and when asked what colour I should do my nails last time I was changing, she broke out this polish... I just had to show you guys, it's gorgeous!! Take a look...

Natural Lighting

This is only one of the many faces of this polish. Under every different light, every new scene in your day, you've got a beautiful new hue to distract yourself with.

NYE NOTD;; Shimmering Prisms! ♥♥

Hey everyone! Happy end of 2012! Are you excited for a fresh new year? I sure am, 2012 is so last year!

For new years I wanted something colourful, sparkly and fun on my nails, so I came up with this cool prismatic look. Check it out!

Natural Lighting

Everyone loves a rainbow! I love the impact of this look, and it was pretty simple to do, as far as nail art goes! 

It's Swatchtastic- China Glaze Angel Wings! ♥♥

Hey guys!

Today I'm coming to you with a gorgeous glitter polish from China Glaze's holiday collection.

May I present, Angel Wings!

(Taken with flash)

This gorgeous shimmer explosion of a nail polish had a ridiculous wear time, and was constantly changing colour with the lighting. It had me staring at my nails all week long.

NOTD;; Snowflake Nails! ♥♥

Hey everyone!!

Going to school has put a bit of a creative cap on my nail art streak... Anything I put on my nails has to come off for class, so I haven't been putting too much work into them! The other night I was practicing my application on my roommates, and all the nail polish floating around made me want to do something wintery and fun. This is what I came up with!

It`s similar to a "Frosty Tips" look I did last year, but I switched up the angles and used a darker base blue for a more sophisticated look. Read on for the breakdown...

Christmas DIY;; Bike Wheel Wreath!

Hey guys!

So the other day I was walking home from a walk with a friend, and I saw this poor old bike just sitting on the side of the road, with its tire just sitting on top of it, stripped bare, right down to the metal and spokes. For some reason I instantly fell in love with it, picked it up and walked it home.

A few days later, I got this brilliant idea to make it into a Christmas wreath!! Look what I made, I love how it turned out!

I felt like leaving the spokes out gave it more of a shabby-chic, trash-to-treasure look. I simply adore it. Click on for a step by step tutorial...

NOTD;; Mystic Embers ♥♥

Hey everyone!

This week I had an interview at Sally Beauty Supply, which was super exciting and I hope to hear back from them soon! However, when I got called in for my interview, it was the same day, and when she called, I HAD NOTHING ON MY NAILS OHMYGAWD!

In my efforts to come up with something unique and eye-catching in a matter of one hour, I came up with this combo, which I totally love! Check this out:

I'm in love with this combination, my favourite nail polish with my favourite flakie top coat!

It's Swatchtastic! China Glaze's Awakening ♥♥

Hey guys!

So on top of the plethora of nail related items I got for my birthday last month, this nail polish was gifted to me by a very sweet work friend (Hi Serena! <3) and I am in LOVE. Check it out!

HOLY ASDFFGGJGHJHL. I LOVE duo-chrome polishes, so this colour is right up my alley. China Glaze, you've done it again!

NOTD;; Birthday Nails 2012! ♥♥

Hey guys!!

I know, two posts in one day, right? I've been putting off these posts because I've been crazy busy for the last few weeks! 

So October 25th was my 22nd birthday, and I did these nails that morning so I could have something awesome and sparkly to look at during my celebrations :D Check it out!

I love this colour combination, and this orly polish is one of my favourite polishes in my collection, so it was an easy choice! :D

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from Edward Scissorhands!! ♥♥

Happy (slightly belated) Halloween everyone!!

October has been a crazy month this year, what with work, getting set up for school, my BIRTHDAY, and Halloween, I've hardly had time to film or post anything! I've missed blogging, so today I'm going to jump back in by showing you guys my Halloween Costume!

NOTD;; FRIGHT NIGHT!! My First Halloween Mani for 2012!! ♥♥

Hey everyone!!

Halloween is without a doubt my FAVOURITE holiday. I mean, why wouldn't it be? You can be whatever you want to be... and so can your nails!

Check out what I magicked up...

Totally fun right? I used that 2 minute marble technique again on the pinky and as the sky behind the tombstones, simply because it's SO COOL and it works perfectly!

NOTD;; Golden Gradient!

Hey guys!

Today I'm bringing you a really classy looking manicure that's so easy to achieve. I found this look very flattering, kind of teetering towards the festive holiday season... BUT we still have to take care of Halloween first! :D

Check it out!

It's like your nails got dipped in bubbly champagne! And it's all brought to you by a little friend I found already hiding in my vanity drawer!

What's that tool you ask? I bet you have one or two at your disposal right now...

NOTD;; Play With Your Polish! ♥♥

Hey guys!

The other day I decided that since I loved the technique I used in my 2 minute marble video so much, I wanted to play around with it some more!

If you haven't seen the video already, you can watch it here:

Since I did dark reddy golds the first time, I decided to go opposite and mess around with silvery blues! 

I tried out a few different colour combinations to see what would happen. These are my test results:

NOTD;; 2 Minute Marble Nails!! ♥♥

Hey everyone!

So I found this super amazing new technique that takes absolutely no time and very little effort... Right up my alley!

Check out these beauties!

SO gorgeous, right? And it only took a little time and some saran wrap!

It's Swatchtastic! Revlon's Brilliant Strength in Hypnotize! ♥♥

Hey guys!

Today I've got swatches of an amazing polish I picked up from Revlon's new Brilliant Strength collection. Check out this colour!!

It's called Hypnotize, and rightly so. This beautiful, yellowy antique gold has an amazing effect on the nails, and glides on like a dream!

NOTD;; Crosswires! ♥♥

Hey guys!

Today I bring to you a relatively simple nail look that has a really cool, versatile effect. Check it out!

I was really digging the look of white nails when I did this, so I didn't want to cover the entire nail. Woops, white after Labor Day! I'm just breakin all the rules.
