Owl Accent Nail Mani

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday . How has your week been so far ? Mine is actually pretty good so far so I don't have any complaints.  Back in November Born Pretty Store contacted me to offer me some goodies to review on the blog, and while the postage time did suck over the Holiday period - I finally received the goodies last week and I'm sharing the first nail look I did with them with you today . THESE  decals from  BornPrettyStore  includes some fun Christmas inspired owls , as well as some everyday owls. While Christmas might be over , I couldn't wait to play with these decals as I love Owl everything. Water decals always have the prettiest designs - and they are super easy to use too. I love using them as accent nails instead of full Mani's - I find that way the look doesn't look too overly done . So onto the nails :  The colours used : Essence White On White China Glaze Glistening Snow China Glaze Fairy Dust Tip Top Milkyway OPI ...

Hi guys ! Happy Tuesday. How was your Monday ?? Did you have a nice weekend ?  Today I will be sharing my first Breast Cancer Awareness mani with you guys - as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As always PinkDrive has a few great options on their site to donate. They have such amazing brooches this year you can buy to support the cause - and let's be real who can't do with a pretty brooch for a great cause ??  As I always try to donate to Breast Cancer Awareness causes  , I did a matching mani to show my support.

China Glaze Let's Chalk About it Mani with Glitter Accent

Hi guys ! Happy Monday . How was YOUR weekend ? Mine was actually pretty fun (even though I work on Saturdays ) spending time with family and friends.  Last week I got the most awesome little parcel from  NailCandi  , a online manicure shop that included the two most perfect polishes in the world - Yes unicorns were singing as I opened this parcel .   If you know me - you know I'm a sucker for gorgeous milky pink colours. And the glitter - *swoon* - gold glitter packed with pink and white hex glitter. Both polishes are pure perfection .  Let's Chalk About It  is a gorgeous milky pink polish that's opaque in two coats - now let me tell you that's pretty hard to achieve for a baby pink - the formula is perfection .  Glitter Me This  is a gorgeous glitter topper polish with gold and white and pink hex glitter in. The formula is pretty glitter packed .  I will have swatches of the polishes as well as another fun nail art look on the b...

Red and Green Christmas Mani

Hi guys ! Happy Thursday. I'm in such a holiday mood since being on leave I totally forgot to post ... Oops ! I still have some awesome posts lined up to share with you guys this year still. I'm a lot more active over on  Instagram  - so feel free to follow me there to see what I'm up too.  Last year I bought a few awesome  NailCandi  nail charms, and I totally forgot about them . When I went through my nail art box the other day I discovered them and decided they are way to pretty to not use. I decided to use the Christmas stocking for this mani.  I also ordered some NailCandi Liquid Palisade and couldn't wait to start using it. ( I used it around the white nail to do the pattern with the green glitter polish - it made clean-up SUPER easy .. just peel off and no struggling to remove the odd glitter pieces ) So onto the nails - For this mani I used : China Glaze Merry Berry ( the red polish ) China Glaze Winter Holly ( The green glitter p...

Pink & Black Skull Mani (My birthday mani)

Hi guys ! Happy Friday ! Hope you all had a great week. Today I'm sharing my birthday mani with you. As I mentioned a few times on the blog before, I'm not a fan of wearing cupcake or balloon nail art on my special day, I prefer a SUPER girly mani usually.   For this year's mani I used some Sally Hansen Nail Polish strips I had around for about a year now. These Sally Hansen strips applied super easy , I was actually surprised how easy where. I'm really in love with Revlon Coy lately too . So I decided to pair these two gorgeous colours together .  So onto the photos...  How was YOUR week ? Any fun plans for the weekend ? 

Pegasus & Rainbows

  Hi guys ! Hope you all had a great week. Mine has been super busy..  Today I'm sharing another fun mani with you . A while back I was send the most awesome 3D nail Jewels from a local company here called  NailCandi  that stocks the most gorgeous and unique nail jewels. One of the sets I was send was this Pegasus nail jewels, and I decided to pair them with some rainbows since they look so close to a unicorn .. And let's be honest who doesn't love rainbows and unicorns ? So onto the actual nail jewel. Yes.. This isn't the most practical everyday nail art idea.. But for something fun and unique.. YES ! They are perfect statement pieces. I placed mine securely on the nail with Seche Vite, but you can use nail glue too. (For a more secure hold.. Although with Seche Vite topcoat.. The Pegasus stayed in place until I took it off. Removal : I used a cotton bud dipped in polish remover and gently started on the corners of the Pegasus until the polish there dissolve...
