All That Glitters Might Be Gold Nails

You might have noticed that when I like a color then I really like it! I like it so much that you might see it more often than you'd wish but beloved people, I am OBSESSED with Essie Mint Candy Apple. And you may have noticed as much. What I also like is gold, but for some reason I didn't wear it that much this summer. I think the sun was gold enough to make up for my need for shine.
                                

Now initially, I was planning a different kind of lines on my nails but upon noticing my nail art brush had left the premises I had to improvise. That's why these lines turned out a slight bit different than planned...they were made with a toothpick.

Also, do you realize it's August? Which is just a couple weeks away from September. It's unreal how this year has passed. I know I say this every year but things just seem to speed up.
So I will leave you with some other blue nails in celebration of the month of August.

Week In Pictures # 26

This week has found me going back to my roots. Well, the past couple of weeks have been a journey back but this week I feel like I'm actually there. And by that I mean singing. I know many (most actually) of you don't know this, but when I'm not blogging beautifully, I'm making songs and singing them.For a while I had to put that aside because of time,job...many issues that should not have become that important but yesterday I finally finished a new song that I was glad with, you know, like in the old days :) If curiosity is eating at you, you can listen to my existing songs on my Soundcloud page or just follow me on the music Twitter since I will be recording an EP later this month in London and that will be the first place to hear it.
As you already know, other than  that, there has been food!

                            

A good first attempt at granola / Raspberry and rosehip dark chocolate!

And now they send me pills... / My kind of dinner!

If you mix some lip products you finally get the perfect shade / Trolling people's computers with Alan Rickman 

The pretty and pretty yummy macarons / Not a shabby view, huh ?

The new favorite things: egg in the middle and smoothies

Song making: the  clean beginning and the messy finished product

Decorating With Washi Tape

Washi tape is one of my absolute favorite things.It is a tape made of a specific type of paper that comes from Japan.It is commonly made using fibers from the bark of the gampi tree and ever since a lovable genius put it in tape form I too can play with it! And how I like to do so! 
It has been used to decorate most things I could find appropriate, but one of my favorites have been glass containers where candles were going to be placed.

I got mine at Paperchase, which is a familiar name for those of you living in the UK, but I have seen it at your regular craft or even office supply stores.

You have no idea how I love playing with these things and especially since they're sticky and you don't need extra aids in getting them to stay in the place you put them. What I know about myself is that if in front of a stand full with Washi tape, I might return home with a bag full of it because there's just so many patterns, colors and textures that you feel like a Pokemon master where you gotta have 'em all!

                            
I feel like congratulations are in order since I managed to refrain myself from buying no more than these three, but you can use them in SO many ways! 
Like I said, I like to pimp glass containers with them most, but you can use them for collages, you can use them for masking ( since it is a bit of a masking tape ), or even for organizing purposes. I mean, having a pretty tag like this makes it all a bit better.

Have you ever played around with washi tape? What did you do with it?
