Snowflakes

Hello everyone,

Hopefully everyone had a snow-filled, awesome Christmas! Where I live we were lacking a little in the snow department, which was too bad, but it was still a very nice day. Got to see lots of different family and it was just really laid back. What did you guys do?

In the spirit of the holiday season, I created a snowflake manicure. Hopefully you enjoy it!

I used:
Suzy Says Feng Shui by OPI (blue)
Alpine Snow by OPI
A random glitter by Sally Hansen


Hopefully everyone manages to have some time off school/work at one point during the holidays!
I don't imagine I'll post again before the new year... so Happy New Years everyone! Have a good one!

Up On the Housetop.. click click click

Hey guys!

Here's a nice Christmas manicure for you guys! I recreated Nailasaurus' holiday manicure on her blog. You can check out the manicure here! She is very talented.. I'm sure you'll find tons of manicure's that you'll just fall in love with.

What I used:
OPI Nail Polish in Alpine Snow (base colour and the eyes)
Essie Nail Polish in Mink Muffs and Mochacino (the two browns - the reindeer's body and antlers)
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Polish in Black Out (nose, lines, and eyes)
I don't remember the name of the red, but any red would work! 
My lines started getting pretty wobbly because I was rushing to make it to school on time, but hopefully I did the manicure justice. CC welcome, of course!

I just did another nail look today, so hopefully I'll remember to post it ASAP. 
Hope everyone has their Christmas shopping done and is ready for the holidays! 

PS: If anyone has any snow they want to get rid of, can you send it my way? We seem to be lacking snow for the first time in years.. it's putting a damper on my holiday spirit! haha

30 Followers?!

Woo hoo! Thank-you guys! I just noticed that I've gotten up to 30 followers. That's just plain crazy. It sounds funny that I'm jumping up and down about 30 followers, but I feel like that's a pretty big accomplishment. When I first started my blog, I didn't think even two people would read my blog, let alone 30! I just wanted to thank each and every one of you. I appreciate you following me. It means so much!



I've been buried under books and papers, trying to get all my school assignments done, so I apologize for not posting more often. Hopefully  I'll be able to post a little more soon!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Happy Hump Day! haha

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!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to my new followers. Thank-you so much for following me.. it truly means so much! I've been so busy with trying to catch up with school work from when I was sick. I feel so overwhelmed! I'm sorry I haven't been posting often. I know.. I know.. I say that every time I do post, but I mean it! 

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful weekend. I know where I live, it was bright and sunny, and even warm! You'd almost think it was the spring, not the fall! 

Here's a quick look I did on my brother. 

I used my MUFE Flash Colour Palette, translucent powder to set the colour, and MAC's Fig. 1 eyeshadow gently dabbed on the nose and lips. 

I hope you enjoy this look! 

Have a fantastic week, full of smiles and laughing!

Halloween Splatter

Hello everyone,

It's been a very long time since I've posted! I'm very sorry. I've been sick in bed with pneumonia... but I'm finally almost back to myself! I had so many big plans for some Halloween looks, but I've just run out of time. Perhaps my looks might just be a little late! Who says Halloween can't be in November and December too?!

I managed to sit down and do my nails for the first time in weeks. I didn't have tons of time, so I decided to try something simple. I've seen many tutorials on splatter nails, and I've always loved how they looked. So this was the perfect opportunity to try it with some Halloween themed colours! Hope you enjoy this quick post!

I hope you are happy and healthy! Have a fantastic week... and of course.. a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
