{All Aboard the Nail Art Craze}

I have been on a crazy nail kick of late.  The husband thinks I am insane to change my polish so much but honestly, it is a great creative outlet for when I have no time to do the 10 million other creative projects floating around in my head (mainly from pinterest).  I find that I tend to stick with either gold/shimmery + nude themes or ultra dark themes on my tips.  As much as I try to do bright colors, I can't really handle it for very long, what can I say?  I'm a sucker for a deep dark nail, ugh, the sophistication!!!

So anyway, here you will see a few of the color schemes I've been sporting lately....

{Pinspiration for 2012}

Hello lovlies!!!  I am super excited to start a fresh new year, 2011 was not so kind to me, so here's to a better year ahead.  Be nice 2012!!

I thought I would dedicate the premier post of the year to some of my biggest Pinspiration so far this year so let's get to it!

{Home Lust: Deep Dark Walls}

Hello lovlies!  I've been neglecting the blog recently, so sorry, it's been a busy couple of weeks but I'm back.  

Todays topic is home lust!  Lately I have been loving the look of really deep dark walls inside.  Growing up it was always drilled in my head that dark walls shrink a space, stay away from them.  While I have not yet had a chance to play with them in my own home, I hope to try it in the near future.  Here are some of the rooms inspiring me...

{what's in my bag}

As I work up the courage to start posting daily or at least weekly outfit looks on my personal style, I decided to do a "what's in my bag" post for you guys.  Not super exciting, I know, but it's always interesting to see what kinds of things others tote around with them on a daily basis. So here goes...

{nude + gold = glam}

Hello lovely ladies!!  Coming at you with a nail look today.

The color scheme of the image above is where I drew inspiration for my latest nail look...

Nude + Gold Glitter

For this look I used OPI's Dulce De Leche with gold glitter dust kind of gradiating down from the top (is gradiating a word?).  When I do this kind of look I prefer to use a glitter dust like this one, as opposed to glitter polish because I feel it gives me better control over the placement and amount of glitter, making it easier to concentrate a lot of glitter at the top and fade it down towards the middle.

Enjoy & thank you so much for visiting my little blog!!
