Nail Art August: #3 Black and White

Hello fellow polish junkies! This installment of Nail Art August is some nail art I've done prior to this event, but never blogged about. This mani was inspired by all the latest fashion trends right now done in only black and white polish. I probably will give each of these an individual mani within the month so you may see what the full look will be.

Which pattern would you like to see first? Comment below and let me know!

Nail Art August: #2 Guyana Flag

Hello fellow polish junkies! Today's installment to Nail Art August is the Guyana flag. For those of you who don't know, my background nationality is Guyanese and this nails were inspired by the flag. The timing for these nails were perfect considering that an event called Caribana passed this following weekend.

Caribana is a HUGE parade that happens once a year in Toronto to celebrate the people of the Caribbean. Millions from all around the world come each year to come out for a fun weekend where you can join in with your costume and dance, barbeque, or even just stop in for a look. Here are some pictures of what the experience is like!

It really is beautiful, if you haven't been before you definitely should come next year!

Here is a picture of what the Guyana Flag looks like, and here is what my nails looked like:

 

How did you think I did? Let me know :)

Peace & Love,

Nail Art August: #1 Color Blocking

Here is my first installment of Nail Art August -- Color blocking!!! I was originally going to do a water marble with these two colors but clearly that didn't turn out so well. Perhaps I'll try it again at the end of the month.

These colors are the Finger Paints that were featured in yesterday's post found here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These colors reminded me of a baby shower when I seen them on display in the store, so I thought "Why not buy them and put them together?!?". Maybe if you plan on going to a baby shower soon you can try this out! The design of these nails was inspired by the very popular trend of color blocking and I think it's so cute! Let me know what you think.

Try It On Tuesday: Finger Paints Inkblot Blue and Brushstroke Blush

Hello Guys! This is my first time participating in try it on Tuesday, and I have not one but TWO amazing polishes to show you! If you don't know what Try It On Tuesday is, it is when bloggers and fans go through their stash and find brand new polishes and give them a try.

The first color is Inkblot blue which can be seen on my ring finger. It is a beautiful cobalt blue cream and gives full coverage in only 2 coats. The second polish is also by finger paints and is called Brushstroke Blush. This polish is also a cream but appears very sheer on the first coat, however it only needs 2-3 coats to become completely opaque and provide full coverage. These applied very easily and I plan on using these colors for some nail art in the near future.

 

*Sorry for the photo quality, still waiting on the new one!*

Hope you enjoyed and participate next week!

Peace & Love,

The Beginning of A New, Better Blog

Hey guys!
I just want to start off by saying thank you so much for all the love and support you have shown me throughout my journey, I would be nothing without you guys. For all of my older blog followers, you may have realized the HUGE make over I gave my page & there are 2 reasons why I felt the need to switch things up. The first reason being is that I felt my old layout was missing some key elements that make a good blog. The second reason being is that I also felt that I wasn't doing everything that I sought out to do when I first started this page.

When I envisioned my blog I wanted there to be lots of giveaways, hauls, tutorials, tips & tricks, NOTD's and much more, and so far I have completed very little if any of what I wanted. In the 3 months I have had this page, I have only made 11 posts which I feel horrible about because I know I can and should do much better. As soon as I get my new camera, I promise a new, better blog with good quality photos, good quality products, and at least 15 posts a month. I love you guys and you are my inspiration.

Peace & love <3
