Abstract Autumn

Hello lovelies!

Essie polishes are rather expensive over here, so I only ever buy them on sale. The last one I picked up was a shade of which I am pretty sure I don't have anything yet: "Kaf-tan". This is a trendy colour and I couldn't wait to try it!

Hi lovelies!

I'm back for this month's Digit-al Dozen challenge, yay! This month's theme is My Home. Well my home contains a lot of floral details. It also has some remnant metallic details from my first student home, which I'm slowly getting rid of. I combined them in this manicure!

Spring Florals with Essie Silk Watercolor Kit

Hello lovelies!

A while ago, my awesome friend brought three beautiful jellies with her from The States - the Silk Watercolors Kit from Essie! These are the cool-toned colours. I loved how they looked together and it has a teal one! So I started playing. This is one of the manis I did with it! 

Friends on Friday - PhD appropriate nails

Hello lovelies!

A friend of mine defended her PhD thesis a little while ago, and asked me to do her nails (YAY!). This was a tricky situation; a lot of fashionable stuff is frowned upon, so I couldn't go all out with the nails. However, it was a joyous occasion, so I did want to translate that into the manicure. In the end, I decided to do all nails a dark blue, similar to her dress, but with accent nails of a more festive nature. 

The blue is two coats of Essence "Date in the Moonlight" and on the accent nails there is Essie "Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low" stamped with "Date in the Moonlight" and BP-L029.

What do you think? I was so honoured to do her nails for this occasion; if you recognize the nails; I also did her wedding nails!

Oh and the defense went great and she's a Doctor now!
