Red & Gold Studded Life

Hello, hello! Today's nail art is inspired by this design from Kara of kbkopija. I have a folder called "Nail Inspiration" of styles that I think are really cool and that I want to try out. This is really helpful when I want to do something to my nails, but just don't have any inspiration. 

Swatches: Colorama & Risqué Brazil 2015

Swatches!! Finally got around to doing this, lemme tell you, props to all of you gals who swatch full time because it is lot of work to get nice coverage, shiny and all that jazz. But I did it over a weekend and am quite happy with the results! Here are all the colours I picked up/was gifted while on my trip to Brazil. They're mostly pinks and red and one beautiful blue. Let's get to it!!

31DC2014 - Taste the Rainbow

So here's a fun fact about Lili that you should know: I have a sugar tooth. And my downfall, my kryptonite, the one candy that I can't resist is by far SKITTLES. So, when I thought about today's challenge: Rainbow, the first thing that came to mind was doing something Skittles inspired. After all, TASTE THE RAINBOW!! Hahaha...

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!

31 Day Challenge: Rules + Red!!

Am I crazy? Insane? Have a strong desire to do too much with too little time? All of the above!! Haha, I couldn't help myself this year - I just had to at least try to participate in this event, so I figure dI'd suck it up, even if I'm a few days late I would try my very best to complete this!!

Here's the complete list of all the themes for those who want to join in on the fun - it's not too late!!

Day 1 is Red, and since it's the first day I knew that I wanted to keep it simple, so instead of playing too much with decorations and stuff I played with polishes and textures.

Polish of the Week: Teal Dimension by L.A Girls 3D Effect

So, while there was little nail art time during my 2 weeks in Montreal, that doesn't mean that my nail were bare. In fact, quite the opposite, I managed to rock this beautiful colour all the while there - only redoing my tips every once in a while. For my birthday party I added a red accent nail because to compliment my dress and that's when I managed to snap a few picks of this look. 

Summer Fun: Water-Marbling Edition!!

I feel like it's crucial to start this post off by stating how much I. Hate. Watermabling. After my one successful attempt, I've stayed away from it, but I was inspired and well... I spent a ridiculous amount of time on these and while I should have probably given up, I had a sketch and boy was I stubborn to make them!! So let's see what took to make these;

Simple Easter Nails

HAPPY EASTER WEEKEND!! I hope everyone's having a great Saturday and enjoying the holidays. It's pretty rainy here, but that doesn't dampen (har-har) my mood! Of course, I couldn't leave this holiday without doing a little something on my nails, so I present you simple Easter Nails.

French Tip Nails with Fairy Dust

Hello everyone, so slowly and surely I'm coming back. My nails haven't been that fancy lately, but I was quite pleased with how these simple French Nails came out - even had someone ask me if they were acrylics! So I figured I'd share.

 

Jan Nail Art Challenge: Leopard Print & Studs

Today's nail challenge theme is PATTERN and I'm really glad, because ever since I saw this picture on the Laquerista thread on reddit I've been wanting to give it a try! I've given it my own twist, but mostly I'm just really excited because this is my first time doing leopard prints!! 

 

Red & Blue: A Merry Christmas to You!

We won't talk about how long it's been since I've posted - I'll sum it up with these 2 things: Finals and Broken Nails. Which, united, just make for sad Lili and not nearly enough time for playing with nail polish. Currently though, I'm at my Parent's house for the Holidays, so I try to sneak in some time here and there. Having places to go makes it an extra incentive to have sparkly nails! 

So we won't talk about my neglect for this blog, but we can talk about how in love I am with Zoya's Dream! I'll end up doing a nail art just with it, but I couldn't resist in adding it as a small accent to my current nails.

 

Red & White Snowflakes!!

Living on Residence allows me to always have some fun and interesting program going on, this weekend it was the Winter Craft Fair. So, with that in mind, I knew I had to do something related.

Red & Black Silver Chain!!

So it's been a while and not only have my updates been lacking, but also my nails. Kinda. They've been sprouting the same old red lately, while it's a nice red it's still just red. But I got some cool nail mail lately so I decided to play with them.
