Instanails #7
With the Holidays fast approaching I’ve been enjoying doing my nails for then ever. I only have time to do them once I week, but when I do it, I make sure to take the time. I work out, have dinner, shower and then do my nails while watching some Youtube videos. I like to…

NOTD: A flaky does it
Glitters. Holographic top coats. Flakies. If it sparkles I’m all game when it comes to nail polish. So when you combine the three and make a glittery holographic flaky top coat, you bet I need that puppy in my life. So when Catrice released a Limited Edition last year that included a nail polish that…

NOTD: Denim Blues
My new favorite nail polish shade for spring? Blue! I am loving blues in all different shades at the moment. But especially the paler, softer tones that are much more appropriate for spring. So I thought it would be time to show you a blue nail polish look. This nail polish look includes 2 different…

NOTD: The semi-purple gradient
Not all nail looks turn out to be a success and I’m still not sure how I feel about the one I’m showing you today. On the one hand I like it, and on the other, I think it’s hideous! When I decided on pairing these polishes together, I went by the way they looked…

Instanails #1
Today I thought I’d try something new. Not all of my nail looks end up on here. I often don’t have time to make sure I do a proper nail photo shoot. Or I simply forget or I don’t find the combination interesting enough to share on here. Whatever it is, I sometimes still end…

NOTD: Rose gold galore
Rose gold is everywhere nowadays and when I found these two rose gold inspired nail polishes last year I thought they would make a great combo to hop on to the trend. They are both super affordable, as they’re by budget brand Catrice, and I absolutely love the colors. The two polishes are from limited…

NOTD: glammed up peach
A quicky nail post after this morning’s musical extravaganza. One of my favorite ways of wearing glitters lately is by using a pastel or fairly neutral base color and to layer the glitter over that. This is one of my favorite combinations so far. Products used: L’Oreal Miracle Repair 7 base coat for damaged nails…

NOTD: Greige not beige
For today’s second post I’m bringing you a NOTD I wore recently. I’m still loving the sand style or liquid sand type nail polishes. So when I was in Germany and checked out local drugstore DM, it was a no brainer to pick one of these up. I found this gorgeous taupe color from P2.…
