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.

B&A: Model City - PB & J

Hey all!

Remember a few posts ago when I said I'd share the other half of my recent Model City purchase?

Well here she is - PB & J

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.

Love at the Altar

Hey there! 

I have a fun post today featuring one of my all time favourite polishes.
It's a little picture heavy so let's get into it! 

Yellow and Grey N/OOTD

Hey all!

Hope you had a great weekend and if you're a mom well then I hope you had a great day.

I took my mom to a great park filled with flowers and beautiful views. 

We sat on a shaded bench by the large fountain and relaxed.

Later I made cocktails and we watched a movie and the season finale of one of our favourite shows.

Oh, and of course I did her nails. 

I'll be sharing my mother's day look with you guys later this week, 

but for now here's my second entry into the MoYou Nail Art Challenge. 

This is Day 12: OOTD

Deborah Lippmann - Amazing Grace // Sally Hansen - Butter-fly Stroke

A England - King Arthur // MoYou - Sailor Plate 06

& the shirt is from bebe

When I first used this DL I was so disappointed in the formula.
But something magical happened in the year that I haven't used it - the formula improved!
I couldn't believe it.
 

Sorry I went a little picture crazy but I really liked these.
Let me know what you think below!
I'll see you Friday.

xo, D.

Gypsy Acid Cats

Hey all!
Hope you've had a good week.
If not, well, hopefully some nail art and a bit of music will cheer you up.

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

Barry M. - Lychee // Color Club - Miss Bliss // Sally Hansen - Golden Rule 

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

& here's a band I've recently discovered.
This is probably my favourite song from the album. 

I love to zone out to this and go for a walk.

xo, D.

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!

xo, D.

Holiday Mani-Madness Day 4 & Day 5

Glitzy Reindeer

Hey everyone!

Today I have day 4 and day 5 of Holiday Mani-Madness to share with you.
As mentioned in my last post I had a bit of a mishap with my original Christmas Eve/Day mani
so day 4 was really a last minute idea. So excuse the messy clean up job. I was rushed.

This manicure was sparked by a gorgeous glittery reindeer that sits on one of our shelves.

I decided on a gradient pretty quick but to add that extra oomph I knew I had to stamp.

How can you go wrong with snowflakes on Christmas?

A England - Briarwood // A England - Saint George

Sally Hansen - Silver Sweep // BM plate 323 

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

Candles & Crystals

Now onto day 5! I was inspired for this look by a French Vanilla candle I bought at Winners for the holidays.

I loved the pattern on the label and the translucency of the crystal.

China Glaze - Ingrid // Color Club - Cloud Nine

BM plate 312

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

So that's it for Holiday Mani-Madness!

I hope you enjoyed all 5 looks because I had a lot of fun challenging myself

and keeping my digits super festive for the holidays.

Next up I will be posting my New Year's look

and I have a fun post of mani's you didn't get to see in 2013.

Happy Friday friends!

Much love, D.
