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.

Hey all! So today I wanted to share a quick post about what I wore to a concert a few days ago. One of my closest friends, Gee (from In Jeeb We Trust), asked me to accompany her to a B-52’s concert. I was super pumped to dance and shimmy but I needed a manicure that screamed colour and fun just like the band. I ended up being inspired by one of their album covers and I think it really hit the mark.

Here’s the cover….


& Here’s my look!


I did a side ways gradient and I followed the same colour pattern as the album.
I’ve never done a sideways gradient before and I must say that I love how it looks.
I can totally see myself doing these more often.

The colours had to be bright and fun so here’s what I used:
Sally Hansen Insta Dri – Brisk Blue; NYC – High Line Green
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear – Mellow Yellow; Zoya – Thandie
Sation – Love At First Lavender& I also added my favourite Northern Lights topcoat to give it that extra sparkle.

While painting I realized that I didn’t have a gradient planned for my thumb but thankfully I was quick on my feet and used my Big Ruby Tattoos. I couldn’t decide on just one tattoo so I decided to just go for it and use two. Because yes I’m that bad ass.



I’m so happy with how these turned out – bright, cheerful, and a bit kitsch.
And the concert! Gurrl, Let me tell you! We had front row seats but we ended up right at the stage. There’s nothing quite like watching a band who actually enjoys what they do for a living. It was a blast and I totally danced my ass off. You just can’t be sad at a B-52’s concert. Make sure to check out what Gee did here. I must say, we were totally on the same wave length. I’m still drooling over her mani.
Well, this quick post has turned into a long one so I’m done babbling now.
Enjoy your Sunday friends!
