Monday Nails | Foil Blues

Today is a pretty fast nail show and tell because it's between packing and running around making last preparations for my trip. 
So what I will do today is show you this beauty of a nail art tool, let you get familiar and in like with it and do an in depth post about it as soon as I'm back,because it's one of those things that is so easy to add to your nail collection and you can do so much with!
In any case, let's not spoil the fun of the future post and let me show you what an end result can look like.



                       
This has got to be one of the most unflattering angles for my fingers because they look like colorful sausages. I've even had one of my colleagues at work look at a previous nail post, then look at my hands and go: "Are you sure that's your hand? In real life it looks so different". I guess what he was saying was that my fingers don't photograph well. You know how the camera adds 10 pounds... must be true.

But aside from that, how awesome is the foil? I absolutely love the rainbow reflexion it gives! I've concluded it looks much better on darker colors, but it can look absolutely gorgeous on a nude or white polish. It gives it a total fairy allure

Week In Pictures # 29

Helloooo week 29! Well in Week 30 I will have to skip the Sunday post because I will be in London again, but just like last time, I'll make up for it with another London Photo Diary!
I am super excited to go back to London and like any self respecting beauty blogger, this time I have made an even bigger beauty wishlist. As you do...
So without further ado, I give you: last week


Found my old Wreck This Journal and enjoyed it thoroughly! / Here comes autumn..../ Milka, maker of solid joy / My friend always likes to remind me about the important things in life, like coffee

You need to read,listen to or hear that speech, really great! / Basil Babies! / The manly half has made a manly breakfast / That...is an actual sign for a waxing salon. Yes.

The Perfect Baby Pink Meets The Perfect Baby Blue

On Saturday I showed you some of the new nail polishes I had gotten, and amongst them were Essie's We're In This Together and Bikini So Teeny. Now, in pictures both colors looked nice and cute but only when I put them on I realized they were the perfect pastels and the perfect baby pink and blue. Both, colors I was definitely missing in my collection.
Of course, I couldn't resist going all Candyland and alternating them on my fingers. I usually don't do that, it's either an accent nail or all the same color, but these two looked playful enough to pull it off.
And I think they did.

I'm a sucker for pastels so these two clearly made happy things happen to me. Look how cute and girly they look! I'm utterly in like with both of them!
And one more thing I wanted to show you and that maybe isn't visible in the first photo is the pretty shimmer in We're In This Together.

It looks perfect on the nail and it's almost undetectable, except for the extra umph it gives to the color.
