7 Deadly Sins Challenge: Day 13

Hey there.
How is everyone? I’m doing alright. Just happy it’s Friday. I’ve been cleaning the house today and I needed a break, so I wanted to share what I did for the 13th day of the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge. (This is the final sin people! I only have one more look after this.) The prompt for this look was: “Recreate your own work to make it even better.”  I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for this one but I ended up choosing this look that I did wayyyy back in December. I really loved what I did and I thought the photos did it justice, but looking back I have to say I’m very angry with myself for not using my actual camera sooner. In any case, here’s the recreated look:





I wanted to stick with the same polishes that I used the first time I did this look, so I once again used China Glaze – Midtown Magic as my base. Then I used my midlength brush and added Color Club – Cloud Nine.



I was going to just use Topshop – Razzmatazz like last time but I recently bought
Essie – Set in Stones and I figured it was the perfect time to use it.
So I used Set in Stones first and then I added Razzmatazz to give it more sparkle.





I’m really glad I chose to recreate this look.
I loved the finished look when I did it the first time and I loved it now too.
I just kept telling the boyfriend: “Look! So sparkly! I love it.”
I think I might end up recreating some of my older looks just because this turned out so nicely. 
Well that’s all for now friends. I’ll see you on the flip side.

7 Deadly Sins Challenge: Day 6

Happy Friday!
I have yet another Deadly Sins Post for you all. I’m very surprised that I’ve been able to keep up with all these.
I for sure thought I’d get lost in the manicure madness.
In any case, we’re onto the second day of Greed & the prompt was:
“Remember, More is More... Don't hold yourself back!”
So I went for it: I did a gradient, I stamped, and I used glitter. And here’s the result:

I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jade Jump and Mint Sprint (at least I think it’s Mint Sprint. I lost the little sticker with the name & after searching the internet everything that came up Mint Sprint matches my bottle) for the gradient.

I stamped using A England – Saint George & plate BM 301. Then I used a brush and applied Top Shop – Razzmatazz in between some of the lines.

What do you think friends? Let me know in the comments section.
Remember to check out the other ladies manicures too!
Next up: Mother’s day mani. See you soon!

A Blu Easter

Hello again.
Just wanted to do a quick post about the nails I wore for Easter weekend.
I was helping my mom out with cleaning and such so they took a bit of a 

beating before I actually got around to posting so 

they're not perfect (but hopefully you can forgive me).

I used Zoya - Blu for the base colour. 

I put a coat of Topshop - Razzmatazz on my ring fingers.

& the dots were created using A England - Saint George, 

Color Club - Eternal Beauty & Zoya - Edyta.


Overall my Easter weekend was good, spent it mostly with family.
My favourite part was seeing my little goddaughter.
She has so much zest and energy.

She also told me I have beautiful hair & that she thought my nails were pretty. 

*insert blushing Dagmara here*
How could you not love a kid like that?

Hope you all had a great weekend and if you're lucky enough 

to still have the day off tomorrow, like I do, I hope you spend it wisely. 

I'll probably be on my bike again somewhere enjoying the sunshine.

Until next time,

Saint George Sparkles

Hello lovelies.

Today I have a super beautiful polish from a england called Saint George.
It's an amazing teal colour that has super tiny shimmery holo sparkles.
This is a must buy. Pictures do not even begin to show how perfect this colour is.
I didn't want my nail art to outshine the polish so I kept it simple by just 

adding Razzmatazz by Top Shop to the tips 

(this is another must buy, opaque and super duper sparkly).
Now go ahead and take a looks see, and let me know what you think.

Happy Monday!

December Nails 2012 Theme 11: Inspired by Fireworks

Hey everyone!

So here it is, the last one! 

I can't believe I made it through with only one theme accidentally forgotten.
I feel like this past month was definitely a hardcore introduction to blogging for me. 

But I'm so glad I set out the goal and achieved it.
This theme was a lot of fun. 

I wanted something flashy and festive because I knew I wanted 

to end the year with a banging manicure.
I started off with a base of China Glaze - Midtown Magic. 

I love this polish, it looks so beautiful just on it's own. 

Then I topped it off with stripes of both  

Color Club - Cloud Nine and Top Shop - Razzmatazz 

fanning out from my cuticles.

I was super duper happy with the results so I hope you like it.
