May The Odds Be Ever in Your Favour.

Hello everyone!

Here's a manicure to celebrate one of this years most anticipated films... The Hunger Games! I'm beyond excited to see it. I've been a fan of the books for quite awhile, so I'm looking forward to how it's translated to screen. This manicure was actually inspired by Kayla Shevonne's, which you can view here. If you haven't seen her work before, you will be in awe. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this manicure! Is anyone going to go see the movie this weekend? I hear it's going to be a big box office seller!

Happy Hunger Games!

Enjoy your weekend!

(Btw... I apologize about the weird colouring of the picture, I was testing out different lighting.)

What was used:

OPI Skull & Glossbones
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out
Nail Art Brushes

Oh Boy, Mickey Mouse!

Hey guys!

I've always loved the magic of Walt Disney and everything to do with it... when you see a picture of the castle, it just makes you feel like a kid. I have little signs with Disney quotes all over my room. I did this manicure several weeks ago (It was actually around New Years... talk about late posting!) I suppose I was feeling rather reminiscent of being a kid. Plus, I was hoping to do something quick and easy.. and this turned out to be exactly that!

I don't remember the exact polishes, but the yellow and black were Sally Hansen, and the red was by Essie.

I hope you enjoy this manicure!


I'm hoping to post another manicure soon. Hopefully everyone had a lovely day :)

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Manicure

Creative title, eh? This past weekend, the fourth movie of the hit saga came out! I'll admit, I'm a bit of Twilight nerd. I don't even want to say how many times I read the books when they first came out... A friend and myself even wanted to try to remake the first movie... *hides face in embarrassment* Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself...


Okay, okay.. now that we've all gotten a bit of chuckle... on to what we're actually hear for! Beauty talk! For the premiere of the movie I did a manicure inspired by the cover of Breaking Dawn. Painting chess pieces is a lot harder than you would expect!

What was used:
Alpine Snow by OPI
Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear
Acrylic Paint from the dollar store for the white and red on the ring finger
Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat 
I used an Essie base coat (I don't recall the actual name of it)


Did any of you ladies see Breaking Dawn? I thought it was pretty good. Although, I could understand why critics are giving it such a hard time! I think they may be thinking that it dragged a bit in parts... but as a reader of the books, I'm sort of glad that the audience got to enjoy Bella and Edward's honeymoon a bit more than anticipated.

 I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Have a great and healthy week!
