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.

Xplosive New Year

Happy new year! I hope your 2014 is filled with good times and great manicures ;)

I had a really great nail haul for Christmas; I got a couple dozen bottles of polish, some nail wraps and a few nail care accessories. One of the presents I was most excited to try was Sephora Formula X Xplosive Chaotic, a glitter topper filled with black and white micro glitter, small, medium and large hex glitter and black bar glitter. 

Festive Ruffian

Two posts in one day?! I know, but I'm disappearing for the New Year and I wanted to post a celebratory manicure before I have no computer access.

This quick and easy manicure looks great in any colour combination you can think of. You can mix cremes and metallics like I did, or textures and glitters; whatever you can imagine.

A Caribbean Christmas

Season's greetings everyone! Sorry that missed last week's post, but the festivities took me away from my computer for a while. I'm off again for the new year, so I'm doing a quick post on my Christmas day manicure.

Since I'm all about the glorious Caribbean climate, I decided to do a tropical scene on my nails. Here you can see Santa tanning on a sandy island in the middle of the beautiful blue sea.

Christmas Nail Art Skittle

This is my first snow-free Christmas in five years, and I'm so excited about it. Experiencing Christmas in different countries and cultures is interesting. In North America the snowy weather sets the atmosphere for hot cocoa and days spent indoors, usually at shopping malls where the sales are incredible! In the Caribbean there is a heavy focus on food and our local 'carols'; Latin American-inspired beats and Spanish lyrics mix in with our own Caribbean sound to create parang music, a sound that is really quite unique to our region.

Still, no matter where you go (or at least where I have been), there are facets of Christmas that are unchanging, and those constants are what I chose to feature in my Christmas skittle!

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.
