31 Day Nail Art Challenge 2014 Day 17: Glitter

Zoya - Flynn // Ciate - Tinsel Town
Decals from The Born Pretty Store

Orange you creative?

Hey ladies and gents!

Been a little while. Sorry for that. Last week just ran away from me. 

But I figured I'd start this week off right and crank out another 2 in 1 post.

Better late then never. 

Both of today's looks feature Cult Nails - Be Loco as the main attraction. 

As a girl who isn't exactly in love with the colour orange I have to say I was smitten with this polish. 

It didn't clash with my fair skin tone and I loved the vibrancy of this particular shade. 

Loco for Tinsel

Orange Cocktail

Cult Nails - Be Loco // Maybelline - Cocktail Dress

Quo Instant Artist - Black / White

I wore this mani for a heavy metal concert I went to with some of my familia.

Heavy Metal is not necessarily my music of choice (go figure) but I have to say I had lots of fun.

There's nothing like a band giving their all on their last night.

You could feel the music pulsating through the room and crawling up into your brain.

Thanks for stopping by. See you in a few!

Christmas in March

Hey friends.

I've got another combo post to share today.

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I did a green galaxy for St. Patrick's day.
(This green galaxy is quite photo heavy - I couldn't help but take it out into the sun)

What you don't know is that I also did a red galaxy a few months ago.
(Yes I said months, and no it's not as picture heavy. There was no brilliant spring sunlight in January.)

So check em out and let me know what you think!

Green Galaxies

A England - Saint George // Zoya - Logan // Sally Hansen - Scarab

Smitten Polish - Blue Footed Booby Dance// Zoya - Solange // Northern Lights Holographic Topcoat

I wore this look for St. Patrick's day and I couldn't stop staring at my digits.

And you just know it turned out well when your boyfriend compliments
your manicure without being prompted. More than once even. High five to that.

I've also decided to not add big white stars anymore.
I much prefer combining glitter and Zoya Pixie Dusts.
They seem to work better on my tiny canvases.

Red Galaxies

A England - Rose Bower // A England - Sleeping Palace // Essie - Angora Cardi
Zoya - Miranda // Ciate - Candy Cane

This look was inspired by a page from this book Logan gave my dad for Christmas.
You can expect to see some more looks inspired by this book at some point.

-----------------------------------

I think galaxies might just be my favourite nail art technique.
No two galaxy manicures are ever the same and each one provides endless room for magic.
What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.
See you in a few!
