Simple Notd with Water Decals From BornPrettyStore
Hi all!
Last week, I wore this really simple mani. I wasn't feeling very "artsy", so I thought it would be a good occasion to use some nail art stuff I had for ages.
I love having some crazy nails, but sometimes I don't have the motivation to do them, so that's why I buy nail art stuff (like waterdecals, stencils, etc.)
I'm not the only one, am I?

52 Week Challenge - Ikat
Hi y'all!
Can you believe I haven't done any ikat nails since I started doing nail art two(or is it three? God I'm terrible with my memories!) years ago?
In the beginning of March, it was the theme for the week so I grab the chance of finally doing it!
I don't particularly love the ikat manis I've seen everywhere, I think they look odd for some reasons. I was looking through some pins on Pinterest and found something that was kind of inspired or maybe it was an alternate version of an ikat, anyways I liked it and decide to try it on myself.

Let's Try Those Untrieds! - Splendor Nail Lacquer "Back Up" and Essie "Tart Deco" Swatch
Hello!
In my adventure to use all my untried before I die, I used two untried a month ago to begin the week the better way possible. Colorful and sparkles was the theme.
I choose for this mani a super bright coral/pink that many of you know and own already I'm certain. I bought this polish from eeerrhhh.. I can't remember. Was it from a blog sale or was it from NailPolishCanada? I'll have to chek! (EDIT: I bought it from a destash sale.) Anyways. I bought this one but never use it (like many of my polishes haha) so I thought it was a good time to try it. I had also this bottle from Splendor Nail Lacquer that was calling my name from the day I had it in my hand.

TNAG - 7 Deadly Sins
Hello!
The Nail Art Guild is back and for this occasion the theme was 7 Deadly Sins. I must admit that was a really hard theme to do. I struggled to find something interesting and finally I think I found something!
The seven deadly sins are anger, pride, lust, envy, greed, gluttony and sloth. I was really tempted to do a sloth inspired mani, it would have been really easy. I would have just apply one base coat and tada!
Just kidding. I chose to do gluttony, because who doesn't love food, right? I looked everywhere and couldn't find nothing that was really suiting my needs. I finally found a print on Pinterest and decided to recreate it.

Nailmail Of the Week!
Hello, Reader!
This week has been rich in nailmail. I had to be on a no-buy for a few months (I know, nightmares come to life) and now that I am back in the game I went crazy and buy A LOT of new nail polishes. But that's okay, because I will use all of them soon. My mind is racing with ideas!!
Let's take a look, shall we?
My first package was from NailPolishCanada.com :
The picture is taken from my IG account. I got 2 Let It Shine Topcoat by Essie (they were half price, I think!), Resort Fling and Wicked also by Essie and Chillin' Like A Villain by OPI. They were giving a free gift with all orders, so I chose to take the detailed-brush for nail art! All others things pictured in the photo is free gift and samples: lollipops, nail file, self-tanning lotion and Gain sample. That's just how cool they are!
Second nail mail I got this week is from Renaissance Cosmetics! Let's see what I got:
I am so pleased with my order. These polishes looks so good in the bottles, I can't wait to see how they look on my nails! The mini is "Reverie" from her new collection. It will make me wait for her restock.. CAN'T WAIT.
Third package was from Beyond The Nail. I got this set, mainly because of Cristine at SimplyNailogical. She made a holo jelly skittle with these polishes and since then I was dreaming of recreating them. I took the opportunity to grab them before they were gone! The purple and the pink are waaaay more flashy in real life. I don't know why my camera don't want to capture the real color!
Lastly the fourth package was from a destash store on Storenvy. I bought four Colors By Llarowe. Two of them were on my wishlist for a while and the other two were too pretty to passed this opportunity.

Independence Day and Little Red Corvette were the ones on my wishlisht. Purple Pizzaz and Anna's Adventure are really pretty so I had no choice to take them. I swear. I'm weak, I know.
Well, that's all for the nailmail this week. I'm waiting for a gigantic order from Harlow and Co and a more modest one from Meimeisignatures next week. I'm already excited to receive the packages!
Happy polishing!

Inspired By: mcpolish and The Lacquerologist
That awkward moment when your iPod take better pictures than your camera..
I have this old camera that is so crappy I can't take a good picture with it. Well, I can take pictures.. but only if the subject is far, very far. Very useful when you want to take pictures of your hand, huh?
My nails for the weekend were inspired by mcpolish and lacquerologist on Instagram. I first saw the recreation of mcpolish a couple weeks ago and loved it. It's only Friday that I decided to do them. She was inspired by The Lacquerologist so I went on her website and follow the tutorial she made. I think they turned out pretty well !
I know the quality of this photo is not the best, but for right now it's the only camera I have. This week I should get a better camera and hopefully make better photos!
Colors used: Blanc (Essie), Light As Air (China Glaze), Zealous (Revlon), Mimosa's Before Mani's (China Glaze), Papaya Punch (China Glaze), Blue Box (Quo By Orly) and Black On Black (Sinful Colors)
