NOTD #3

Hello hello!

The other day I was watching this video by MissJenFabulous on youtube, and really liked the feather nail she did. I don't have any nail art pens so this was trickier for me but I managed ok..I think! haha.


So this is how mine turned out. I personally like it because it is very messy, almost abstract. 

I cannot stop staring at my nails! I just love these!!



The colors I've used are Sally Hansen Xtreme... in Mint Sorbet, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Blue-Away, and the feathers are painted with Orly's Naughty (yet again!). I really like this color combination but you could choose any colors you feel like using! I will definitely try this with different colors next time (:

The design takes a bit of practice since it is a bit difficult if you're using a small paintbrush like I did. But I think it would be very easy with a  nail art pen. I just took the smallest paintbrush I have and drew a line, then tapped on little lines on each side. 

But overall, I reeeally like these and will definitely be doing this again in the future. I will probably do another NOTD if I decide to re-create this look in different colors (:

**Little Note: I will be gone from tomorrow (the 19th) to Wednesday (the 22th). I will probably not post anything while I'm there, but I will do a week in photos/vacation in photos when I get back and probably a haul since I know I'm going to shop till I drop! Hahah!

But until Thursday, I hope you all have a wonderful week and don't forget to smile and have fun (: 
(that was a run on sentence! haha)

NOTD #2

Hello beautiful people (:

Did that sound creepy? I hope not, because that was not my intention..haha!

But anyways, I just painted my nails and thought I'd do a Nails Of The Day since this color is gorgeous! 


Please excuse the clutter in the back..I just realized..woopsies!

Orly [mini] Nail Polish in Naughty.

I got this color for Christmas in a set of 5 mini nail polish. All the other colors are very Christmasy, but this one is wearable whenever. I loove this vampy, dark red color, especially for Fall, which is kind of why I decided to paint my nails with it today. It was a rather chilly day in my small town and thought this color was appropriate for the weather. 

Dark nail polish is making a comeback this Fall season, or so I read in magazines. Personally, I am very happy about this continuing trend, since dark nail polish is my favorite! I love the blacks, navys, but especially my dark reds! And this one is just perfect!

I know Orly isn't available everywhere, but I do know a very good dupe for this. N.Y.C (new york color) nail polish in Lincoln Center. If you do not have access to N.Y.C either, I think Essie's Wicked would be close but I`m not 100% sure, as I do not own this color. I've only seen it in stores.

Well, that's all I have to say for today but I will be back tomorrow with My Week In Photos. I`m very exited to post it, I started writing it earlier and I really like it so far. 

But thanks again for reading/following my blog. It really means the world to me <3 !
