Nail Love: Jeweled Hearts


Inspiration from Pinterest

I am totally in a romantic mood with my Nail Love this week, because I am celebrating my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend :)))))) The time has passed unbelievably fast and it feels like I've known him forever yet have only met him yesterday. It's a strange but wonderful feeling and I feel so lucky and grateful to have met him ♥

This week's look is a more experimental one with a barely-there pale pinky colour and a glittery half moon, which I've done using the reinforcement technique. I placed a heart rhinestone on top of each nail, but on the pinky is a simple rhinestone to balance with the smaller size of that nail.

I have to admit I like the look of this more from far away. The glitter and the rhinestones give an understated luminescent twinkle which I think is very elegant. When I start looking at it up close too much, it starts to look odd. Maybe it's the barely-there colour. Or my short nails (yes, to me, this is considered short). I've had to trim them because I've been sick and hadn't felt like lattes in the morning, which is how I get my daily calcium so my nails have been getting chipped and sad.

Anyway, I hope you guys liked this week's Nail Love! Have a wonderful weekend :)

Nail Love: Attitude en Pointe


The temperature has been consistently going down this week and all I can think of are warm wools, soft chiffon silk, and knit layers to keep me warm. There is nothing I would like to do more than to sit in front of the heater fireplace with a warm blanket, comfy leg warmers, and a nice big mug of hot chocolate.

My nails this week are a simple, creamy nude with a dash of sparkle, like the holiday magic soon to arrive at our doorsteps :)

Over: Sephora Traffic Stopper Copper

The prima donna of this week is the Traffic Stopper Copper, a glittery coppery rose gold glitter. I really love this one! It is perfect on top of blush tones and nude shades. Nonfat Soy Half Caff is a pale milky nude shade, a perfect backdrop for the rosy gold on top. I wanted to keep the look simple and fresh, so I have applied glitter just at the tips. Reminds me of reflected light off a flickering bonfire.

I hope you liked this week's Nail Love. These pictures are so serene, pretty, feminine - perfect for the girly girl in me :)
