Anyone said Cougar?

Animal prints is a fashion thing I never jumped on. I felt those prints where too eye catching, too "bright". 

I felt really brave one day and bought a Zebra printed dress/tunic online. I worn it once or maybe twice. It's still on the hanger, and when I'm going out with friends I look at the dress and ask myself if I feel brave enough to wear it. Too often, the answer is no. It's a lovely dress, with a broad band in the neck with black sequin, straight cut. I just don't know what to pair it with. 

On my nails on the other hand (pun not intended). It had to be tried. 
I wanted to go subtle. That if you looked for it, or the sun happen to hit my hand on the right angle, you would be able to see it. 
I have seen a lot of tri-polish challenges on my feed lately, and wanted to pair up my own combo.

I picked out TopShop - Mercury Miasma, TopShop - Cosmic Karma, and Orly - Sweet Peacock. 
Stamped using Bundlemonster - BM 221.
I got the same print on a Konad plate, but decided to take the BM plate, as the box was on my desk and the Konads in my bedroom. If you wonder, that would be the Konad - m57. 

This is going to be a picture spam, just so you know. I ran around the house trying different lights, settings, etc to make this really show. Needless to say, I loved it. 


Ringfinger TopShop - Cosmic Karma

TopShop - Mercury Miasma

Stamped with the opposite TopShop colour, and filled the big circles with Orly  - Sweet Peacock.



Needed some suitable underwear for a manicure this sassy.

Christmas Medley


I haven't really gotten the Christmas spirit yet. Sadly. Cause I usually love Christmas.
I think ... it's the lack of snow that's doing it.
My little brother got me some tickets back home, so I will be off on Sunday, and heading back home for snow, and winterland. Just how I like it.
I will be spending Christmas with my grandmother, and mother. Can't wait to see them all.


I wanted to make a Christmas Medley manicure.
So I took out all my plates, every single one of them, and sorted out the onces with Christmas-y images. It's a good handful.

I have a few untried polishes as well, a huge box, actually.
Armed with a box of polishes and a handful of plates, I dived into it.

Plates I used for this manicure

Bundlemonster 323
Bundlemonster 318

Polishes used for this manicure

TopShop - Missile
Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Claire's - (glitter polish mini )

Missile is such a star polish, I adore it. Such a deep wonderful blue. <3
I loved it as soon as I took the cap of. It looks tamer in the bottle.

2 coats of Missile, then I stamped over using Snow Me White, and added dabs here and there with the glitter.
Sadly, in my eagerness i forgot to take a picture before all the art went on, so I just got a finished design today.


I love, love, love this. I got to make more of these. Even thou I smudged mr.snowman there a little, I still love it.

Vacation Update

I am so sorry I have totally MIA here. I have O.D. on nail-polish-shopping.
I am still on vacation, the cord to my camera is missing, and I am trying to find a new one, seems like that isnt as easy as I thought, but don't worry beauties. I will find one.

I have been to Models Own in Westfield London, I have been to 100s of Boots, Superdrugs etc in search for W7s, Barry Ms, and other polishes.
