The Digital Dozen does Monochrome - Day 2: Mosaic Gradient


Remember how yesterday I had hoped that my work week would be a bit more mellow? Haha, yeah, that didn't happen :( I got home around 7:45pm yesterday and was super drained and not up for nail art. 

For the past two Digital Dozen challenges, I've completed my manis the night before they're due (I know, I know, this is a terrible habit, but I'm a procrastinator!). Unfortunately, my lack of motivation last night means I'm scrambling a bit tonight ;) I'm going to try and do one more look after this so I can have something to share with you all tomorrow for day 3. Ah, the life of a polish addict!

Anyway! Day 2 is an orange monochrome mosaic gradient look! I'm really unsure of how I feel about this look though so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The Digital Dozen does Monochrome - Day 1: Floral


Hi, all! How was your weekend? I spent a majority of it trying to catch up on sleep after an INSANELY long work week. Here's hoping this week treats me a bit better work wise...but blogging wise, it's going to be awesome! This is going to be a Digital Dozen filled week! Today not only marks the start of our awesomely awesome giveaway (have you entered yet?? You can do so here!), but also the beginning of Monochrome week! 

For those who don't know, monochrome consists of either black and white or varying tones of only one color. Today's look, is in line with the second definition where I use varying tones of one color...and keeping with my love of floral patterns, I decided to do a simple monochrome floral look! I'm not feeling too hot tonight but I found an awesome floral print here and wanted to do my take on it immediately.

Simple Nautical Stripes


Hello, all! I'm so glad that it's Wednesday (night)! I feel like the past 3 days have been as long as an entire week and I can't wait for Saturday to get here. I don't have a very exciting post for you tonight, but I figured I'd share it anyway. This will be short and sweet :) 

Several months ago I ordered the two of the Zoya NYFM boxes that included 3 special colors that are created by designers. I stole away with the Peter Som Spring/Summer 2014 collection, as well as the Zang Toi Ballet Babe Spring/Summer 2014 box. I got them and then promptly forgot that I had them. I have been using the boxes as hand rests for when I take my photos and was literally touching the boxes with polishes still INSIDE them for months. I was taking advantage of the Zoya 3 Free Promo yesterday and realized that I still had 6 unused/unopened polishes from them and suddenly it was like I had brand new nail mail! It was all very exciting and it made my day haha

Daisy Daze on Deb Shops

Happy Tuesday! I don't know about you guys, but I'm so glad Monday is over - I worked over 12 yesterday! No thank you! But, the silver lining of that think of all the polish I can buy with that extra dough ;) 

Today I've got a tutorial post that I put together for Deb Shops. They've been rocking daisies a lot lately and I thought I'd do my own version of them with a quick tutorial. Head to blog.debshops.com for my how-to on this look and let me know what you think of it :) 
Happy Polishing :)
