31DC2014: Purple - Skittles Design

Day 6 is Violet - But of course I think (alongside many others) I ended up going more purple than violet, haha. Oh well! I saw this online on the Reddit Laquerista thread and figured I'd give it a shot. I like how subtle and simple it is, but still really pretty!

Acrylic Nails Series: Graduation Nails!!

Hi guys, today I want to talk about a new form of nail art that I want to start posting on my blog every once in a while. They're basically going to be some really intricate nailart and stuff that I'll be doing on fake nails. And the reason for doing this is because I started off doing it in order to perfect my craft and I figured, why not share with you guys??

 I did this with the Wicked nails a few posts back, it's a way for me to play on a 'slightly bigger' canvas while I wait for my little nubs to grow out, haha. Hopefully you'll like these as much as my other posts!! 

 

Nautical Theme Nails ft. Beaded Anchor

Today's nails are brought to you by "There are beads everywhere, but this was SO WORTH IT." I've been wanting to do a sailor theme for the longest time, and especially a chance to play with my mini beads, which for some reason I just hadn't at this point.  Less talk, more show!!

 

Purple Effect: Subtle Dots

So my own creativity has been rather lacking lately, I still want to do nail art but when it comes to designs I'm drawing a blank. So lately I've been re-creating some of my favourites that I find mostly through Instagram - this one is from Lookatmynailart. 

Valentine's Day Nail Art!!

What's Valentine's Day without a matching pink nail art design?? Haha, here's my very simple design, I'm not 100% in love with this, but it turned out pretty nice for what it is. Very girly, very cutesy valentine.

Sochi Olympics 2014 Nails

Nothing like the Olympics to get me out of my nail art funk! And here is my small contribution that I wiped up while watching the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. I quite liked how they turned out. 

2013 Christmas Nail Art!!

Merry (late) Christmas everyone!! Hope you had a wonderful holiday with family, friends and good food!! I ate way too much during these past 2 days, but it was wonderful and I loved every second of it. Christmas is one of my favourite times, and of course, my nails had to join in on the fun. 

 

Inverted French Nail with Zoya's Dream

Like I promised last time, today's post is all about the polish that is currently sweeping me off my feet and carrying me away into the sunset; Dream by Zoya.

as a full-coverage, deep space blue with holographic glitter." - Zoya Website

Season's Greetings: Striped Candy Canes!!

I've been holding out on my holiday inspired nail art, but I figured since it's finally December I can get away with it now! And what better way to start things off then with my favourite seasonal treat: Candy Canes!! 

 

Return of the Nails!!

Alright, so that's a really lame title, but it's currently way part my bedtime and I could care less because I finally have enough time to come here again! Yes, no more cobwebs and lack of attention my poor little nail blog, I'M BACK, BABY!! 

Long story short; Real-life got really, really stupidly, insanely busy. I was doing an internship, I moved back home (from Vancouver to Montreal) for the Summer and now I have time to dedicate myself heart and nails to this blog again. And not only to updating, but to actually taking care of my nails.

I warn you now, the following picture might be a bit...gruesome, but there's a happy ending - hopefully!
