Holiday Mani-Madness Day 1

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first day of Holiday Mani-Madness.

Last year I ended up doing 10 different holiday themed manicures

throughout the month of December and I had a lot of fun doing it.

But this year I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of all month long I 

will be posting a different holiday manicure every day for the next five days (the 23rd to the 27th).

Each day is inspired by a different piece of holiday decor

and you will not know what they are until I post.

So! here we go with Day One:

Gold & Green Ornaments 

This look was inspired by some of my favourite ornaments from my Christmas Tree.

I decided to do a skittle manicure and then I added Zoya's Solange to do the upside down french.

Solange is just beautiful with topcoat. 

(From Index to Thumb)

Enchanted Polish - Electric Feel // Zoya - Logan // NYC - High Line Green

Revlon - Spanish Moss // Zoya - Hunter

I was really happy with how these turned out. Just enough glam.
Let me know what you think of the look!
& I will see you tomorrow for day 2.

Much love, D.

Zoya London Swatch & Mani

Hey everyone!

Apologies for not posting much in the past few days.
Things have been a little hectic and I was unable to post this earlier.

First off I wanted to show you one of Zoya's Pixie Dusts.
I was beyond excited to work with these since I heard so 

many great things and, of course, the swatches I saw were beautiful.

I purchased London (seen below) and Godiva (which I'll be using in a future post). 

I wore the nail art mani first but wanted to be able to see 

the full effect of the pixie dust so I have been wearing this the past few days.

London is beautiful. It's a dusty grey that really sparkles.
If I had to recommend one collection to try out this year it would definitely be the pixie dusts.
Especially the upcoming spring collection.

I applied this without base coat as is recommended and there's no top coat. 

I feel like if you're going to go for the textured polish why would you even bother covering it up? 

Next up is a mani I did for a concert I went to this past weekend.
I used China Glaze - Hey Doll, Zoya - London, and a Quo stripper in black. 

My boyfriend gave me this idea and I really like it.
Not too complex but still looks interesting.

Well that's all for now.
Next post will be a Saint Patty's Day mani.
Hopefully what I have planned turns out.

Enjoy the rest of your week!!

French Tip Twist

Hey lovelies!

Things have been good on my end, I hope everything is well on yours.
For this post I felt like doing something with Essie's - Lion Around.

This is a really dainty shade of pink. I think it would be perfect if you're looking for a Valentine's day polish. Or if you're just a fan of pink in general. 

It's not garish or over the top. It's very subtle and sweet.
To spice it up I added a white french tip but after i did it it just felt like I should push it a little more so I added zig zags. I love the way it looks although I did notice a gap on my middle finger when I took the picture 

which is strange because you can't really see it on my digits. 

Oh well. You're just going to have to trust that they look snazzy in person.

Expect my next post some time at the end of the week!
