Two Year Blogiversary! And a Giveaway!



Woot Woot! It's my 2 year blogiversary today friends!
Although, I have to say, it doesn't feel like it's been two years at all.
With every passing milestone we're told to reflect and to see how much we've grown.
I think in the last two years my photos have vastly improved - when I look back now at the photos I used in the beginning I tend to cringe. Why oh why did I think using a blurry cellphone camera photo was appropriate? I've also learned a lot about the blogging community as a whole. It's like an entire world nobody understands until they go down the rabbit hole and start a blog. There's great people; there's some crazy talented people; and there's also some crazy whack jobs too. But with all the nonsense that goes on there's still so much support. Thank you to all my loyal followers and to all of you who make this crazy nail art roller coaster so much fun. Couldn't have done it without you. Now let's keep this crazy train going with a mani and a giveaway!!



O.P.I - My Vampire is Buff / Kiss Me on my Tulips / Sprung


Watermarbles are so the key to my heart right now, and this one is no exception.
My boyfriend thought I painted in Sprung after I was done - but no! that's all decal baby.
I ended up freehanding some fleurs too because I broke one of the decals but I still think they're fun.
Let me know what you think!

Now onto the giveaway!

Kings & Queen Galaxy

Have you seen the upcoming ILNP collection for Fall 2014?
It is freaking fragging amazing. Google it. You won't regret it.
I've been drooling over the swatches so I just had to use my one and only ILNP.
Here's a few swatches before the magic happened!

Neon Rain


Down on the West Coast...

we've been having a heat wave.
And, literally, if you're not drinking then you're not playing.
I've been guzzling down water like nobodies business.
I've had the side effects of heat stroke before and let's just say it ain't fun.

I've been craving a stampacure and when I saw the little rain droplets 
on my MoYou London plate I just knew I had to use them.

Pineapple Party


 I've been loving all the fruit inspired manicures I've been seeing floating throughout 
FB and IG lately. I fell in love with this tutorial by just1nail and I decided to give it a go.

Pink Pegasus

Did you ever take a course on mythology?
Some of the most memorable courses that I took in university had some aspect of mythology / ancient
influence and it always made my brain tingle. All it takes is a good story and I'm hooked.
I love that stories and myths transcend time. A window into a past we can never visit.

Model City - Sugar Cookie



Hey all! 
So when Nina from Model City announced a few weeks ago that there was going to be a sale I just knew I had to get something.
My intent had been to get up early and order some of the bottles I've been lusting for.
As luck would have it I overslept. Woke up, turned off my alarm, laid back for what I thought would be a few seconds,
and then I woke up 2 hours later  >.<
Thankfully I did manage to get two new beauties, and the first one I have to share is Sugar Cookie.

Meringue Love


Hey all!

Quick post today (which should have been Friday's post but I left without hitting Publish >.< 
And then I was busy all weekend and didn't get to the computer until late last night. 
Oops. At least now I'm an extra post ahead.... (⌒▽⌒)   )  
featuring a look that was inspired by this manicure by The Nailasaurus
I loved the hooded nails so I wanted to give it a go.

Joe Fresh - Bloom


Hey there!
Happy Monday - and if you're in the States well then Happy Memorial Day.
I have a bit of military influence in my family - both sides went through WWII back in Poland.
One of my grandpa's was pursued by Nazi's and the other served in the war, though from what
I'm told he didn't like talking too much about it. My dad also went through training and worked in the
military for a few years. It's always been important to me to be familiar with the workings behind the
First and Second World Wars because it has such a strong tie to how my family developed.
As they say, knowledge is power.


Now onto the fun stuff.

Butterfly Effect


Hey there!
Last time I told you I'd be sharing what I wore on my digits for Mother's Day.
So here they are.


Deborah Lippmann - Amazing Grace // Essie - Licorice 
O.P.I Sheer Tint Collection // BM - 307




This was my first time using the O.P.I sheers and I have to say I really like them.
I love the colours! And I love that you can combine them to make even more shades.
The versatility is so great. I'm going to be trying these out again soon.   




 Do you like the butterflies? Kind of make my heart flutter.
And I like that they smudged a little. Made it a little more vintage-looking.


So what do you think? Let me know below!
Next post is will be up as usual on Monday.

xo, D.

Pink Teacup



Hey there!

Today's post is inspired by a teacup I received from my mom way back when for my sixteenth birthday.
Here's the pattern on the rim of the cup and of the saucer. Dainty and delicate, no?





L'oreal - I Pink I'm In Love // Maybelline - Bold Gold




I received this pink as a super early birthday gift from my childhood best friend who
came back home for a week. When I came home I had tea in this tea/saucer set and the idea sparked.



The formula of this polish was a little watery but it was fairly easy to work with.
And I love this shade of pink. Lady-like glamour. 





 Thanks for stopping by friends. Hope your week goes smoothly.
See you Friday!

xo, D.
