Best yellow nail polish
The most difficult color nail polish to get right? Yellow. There is just something about this color that makes a polish go on streaky 9 times out of 10. And if they’re neon, it is even harder to get right. I thought I’d show you some of my favorite yellow nail polishes today. Here are…

Instanails #8
Time to show you some of my nail looks again. After a few weeks of painting my nails, I like doing these overviews to catalogue them and do mini reviews of some nail polishes. I haven’t been really into too many new colors as I feel my nail polish collection is pretty solid where it…

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: 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…

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.…

Best toe nail colors
It’s summer which means those peep toed shoes and sandals can be brought down from the attic. And with exposing your feet, most people will start wearing nail polish on their toes. I tend to wear nail polish year round because my feet are out a bit more and I just like the overall look…

Nail care routine
One of the most soothing beauty rituals on the planet is doing a manicure. Since you can’t use your hands for a while afterwards it not only forces you to simply sit and do nothing, but also the routine of it allows me to relax and focus on something differently for a little bit. I…

NOTW: Strictly Cookies & Cream
This week I wanted to try something clean and simple. I love Ciaté’s Cookies & Cream nail polish as it’s a great neutral shade. I decided to pair it with a stripe of Ciaté’s Strictly legal as I thought the dark purple with subtle golden glitter would be a good contract with the creamy beige…
