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!

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!

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
