Nail Jewels

Salut mes amis,

Quick nail post today, using my recently won nail polishes from Yami's giveaway, do check out her blog because she's dope :)) For this nail look, I used:

• Sinful Colors Open Seas polish for base (the color of Tiffany's Box)
• Old Navy glitter polish for tips (Gold, green and turquoise glitter; I've had this polish since I was about 12 and it's still as good as new)
• Sinful Colors Verbena & Beautiful Girl for marbling the accent nail (Purple & Pink)

My water marbling didn't go so well, hence the reason why I only have one accent nail left with the swirls--the others were way off. I'm excited to practice more water marbling, so as soon as I master the skill, I will show and share :))

Pretty Darn Close to Tiffany's...

Nail Art: Ballet Fishnets

Salut mes amis!!

As some of you may know, I was the lucky winner of Yami's giveaway on her blog The Dark Side of Beauty. This week I received her package and was sooo thrilled to discover my prize: 8 beautifully packed nail polishes in total--7 tropical inspired polishes from Sinful Colors plus one gooorgeous color from OPI. I am dying to try all of them at once, so the next few of my nail posts will feature Yami's polishes.

Today, I created a simple nail art design using Easy Going from Sinful Colors as a base and Sally Hansen nail art pens in silver and black for the fishnets :)

Spring Breeze Pleez!

Salut mes amis!!!

If you're a New Yorker, there's only one thing on your mind right now: how to survive this record-breaking heat wave! I know I blab a lot about weather and the environment, but keep in mind; it is very relevant to beauty, fashion, makeup, etc. On days like today (dangerous heat index of 107° F / 41° C), I try to limit my outdoor exposure time and chill at home, under my AC. Unfortunately, today wasn't one of those days as I was forced to travel to class and back in the unbearable heat. As soon as I got home though, I cranked my air-conditioner and was inspired to remind myself of those breezy spring days I'm so longing for right now. Here's my little reminder :)

In other news, do check out my Purrfect Cat Eye guest post on Lilit's blog Makeup-and-Macaroons and follow her, if you haven't done so already. Beautiful Lilit is from the land down under and I'm so jealous b/c it's winter in Australia!!! :p

As always, read more for details :))
