inspired by....

this almost winter/holiday sweater from Burberry. I thought it might be kind of neat to base a mani on it :)

i heart summer dresses

I love this dress so much I bought it twice! (There is a pale pink version too)

I tried a few different color combinations but ended up with hot pink for the base - China Glaze nail polish is really pretty incredible. All of the shades I've tried so far have been gorgeous.

• base coat - China Glaze - 108 degrees
• image plate - M79 with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Blue-away
• tips - OPI Suede - Russian Navy
• top coat - Seche Vite

friday i'm in love......with orange!

I saw a tutorial on The Daily Nail for a design called Whats the Mod-er? and thought I would give it a try. I have an adorable orange/black/gray summer dress and I wanted to use these colors without it looking too halloween-ie.
Here is the dress......

and here are the nails :)

I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed, and Wet Cement, and Konad special black stamping polish. This was super black, but it got goopy very quickly.

i pretty much love everything this woman does.

Her name is Elsa Mora and she is a multi-media artist from LA. She has a few different blogs, but I think her personal style blog might be my favorite.
