Owl Be Yours Nail Wraps

Ugh, I' am so exhausted. I just want to crawl into a cosy pile of blankets and pillows and sleep until I can't sleep any more. Things have been busy on my end (I feel like they're always busy now, so I'm going to need a new definition of that word), but I'm still trying to make time for the blog!

Today I've got some cute nail wraps to show you from the lovely Alice at One Nail To Rule Them All!

Valentine's Hearts

Can you believe it's February already?! Geez, time flies when you're doing nail art!

Of course, February always brings along the excitement (or despair) that is Valentine's Day. Whether or not you've got special someone to share the day with, show your nails that you love them with this cute manicure with textured, glittery hearts, stripes and polka dots!!

Distressed Glacier

Hey everyone, how is it going? I've had a crazy week, but hopefully things will settle down soon! Like I mentioned last time, I was sick (I still am, a little), so I did something quick and easy using three new polishes from my Christmas nail haul!

Textured Stamped Stars

This has been a crazy week for me. Cra-zy. Not only have there been loads of ups and downs to deal with, I'm also sick :( So, I'll make this a really quick post and get back to resting.

Rose Manicure

After last week's simple two-colour manicure I was in the mood for something colourful and exciting. Of course, I still wanted nails that my supervisors at work wouldn't raise their eyebrows at, so I tried to keep the colours a little bit on the darker side for this pretty floral nail art.

Yellow Spots and Stripes

The nice thing about living in the Caribbean is that we have two seasons: Rainy season and Dry season. If you think that's a joke I'm actually 100% serious. We have no such thing as Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. It is warm and lovely all year round and we can wear whatever colour polish we want at any time of the year and it's always going to be in-season and on trend. Welcome to the good life! ;)

Because I'm not held back by seasonal hues (and I felt like wearing something light, playful and bright), this week's manicure is a lovely yellow and white colour scheme with polka dots and stripes!

Newsprint Nails

In the realm of nail art, newsprint nails probably score a 9.95 out of 10 for how easy and pretty they are. I really thought there would be more work involved in executing this manicure, but the hardest part for me was deciding which articles I wanted to cut out and press on to my nails. Seriously. Talk about first-world problems, right?

Matte Pink Paisley

Another week another manicure! I can't believe it's been over a month already since I started blogging. So much has changed, and I'm not just talking about my nails ;)

This week I've done a pink-on-pink matte paisley design. The monochrome colour scheme helps to prevent what is generally a busy pattern from becoming too loud, and the matte finish ties it all together for a design that is detailed, exciting and workplace approved.

Pastel Colour Block


This week I've got some super sweet nails for you! I don't know about you, but I love pastels. They're so soft and pretty and they work well with just about every outfit. There's also something about the pink-purple-blue combination that is really feminine, and it takes me back to the days of Lisa Frank!


Pastel Colourblock Nails

This is one of my favourite nail art looks because of how simple it is. All you need are 4 colours, tape or a thin brush and topcoat! Easy!
