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.

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!

Sunny Booby Dance

Hey all.
Not too long ago I mentioned how much I’m loving Smitten Polish right now.
Today I’ve got two polishes from her most recent collection.
Say hello to Sunny Side Up! and Blue Footed Booby Dance.



& here’s my look:

These colours screamed gradient when I saw them and
since I’m prone to following my instincts I went for it.
I loved the green hue created between the colours.
The final look made me think of lagoons in the sunshine.

So what do you think? Let me know!

Oh! In case you were wondering what exactly the Blue Footed Booby dance looks like, here you go:

Much love, D.

Smitten Polish – Pastel Pixelation

Hello! So I’m back in town and ready to share some posts with you guys.
Today I have yet another polish from my birthday hoard.

Meet Pastel Pixelation by Smitten Polish.






Isn’t this polish just the sweetest?? 
I loved the colours of the glitter pieces. And the little golden circles?!?! AHH! :D
It was like a confetti rainbow dripped in pink chiffon.






Application was great. Nice thin coats that weren’t runny or too thick. 
I was a bit worried the pink would dilute the glitter but the formula didn’t allow for that.
It just kept looking better the more coats I put on.



I was totally sold on this baby.
If you’re looking for something delicate and girly this definitely something you should look into.
Check out Smitten Polish’s etsy store here to see some more of her gorgeous goodies.

Next up: my vaca post!!

Much love, D.
