For these black & white nails, I first painted my ring fingers black then the rest white. Then I used manicure strips from my French Manicure kit to block of the white areas & used black on the rest. Lastly I used top coat to apply my pearl bows.
Outfit of the Day
Remember how I said I didn’t have much on my Christmas list? Well, I nearly forgot how I’ve been thinking about getting some new Uggs, but have been holding off because they’re so expensive. But then remembered I could ask for them for Christmas! I found the pair I wanted (Mini Bailey Bow boots, now sold out) on sale (only 10%, but it’s something) & got free shipping. My parents were happy & I was happy so it was a done deal.
Anyway, with these Uggs I’m wearing a sweater from Francesca’s, a vest from Tin Missy, necklaces from a local boutique, & an old pair of leggings from AE.

Nails of the Week
For this negative space manicure I used the straight manicure strips from my Sally Hansen French Manicure Kit to block off the nude areas. Then painted on my dark & light gray. Lastly, I took off the strips & outlined the negative spaces in black (using a thin brush).

Nails of the Week
For these nails, I first painted on a pearl base then used a nail tattoo sheet on my nails. To use nail tattoos, you first need to cut a sheet into different sized rectangles/squares to fit your nails. If you have small nails like me, you should only need one sheet. Then fill a cup or bowl with a little bit of water (room temp is best). Take the clear front sheet off of a rectangle piece, dunk in water for a second or two (not long at all). Then carefully place & keep on nail for ten seconds. Beware, the second it’s stuck on your nail you won’t be able to move it! Once they’re all done I put top coat on so they wouldn’t wash off.
I like the extra shine the pearl gave to the nail tattoo, but for this sheet gold will always be my favorite underneath it.
Mini Shopping Haul
I went shopping downtown with a friend & found these two pretty items. I hope to wear the headband to next year’s 1920s themed New Year’s Eve party. I guess I’ll be working on planning my outfit around this for the whole year (my kind of fun). The blue under it is a long sleeved lace dress that I’ll wear this spring. I can’t wait for the snow to melt!
Outfit of the Day
The weather went above freezing yesterday afternoon so I took an ootd in my dressy winter coat! It’s a Betsey Johnson coat I bought at Marshalls a year & a half ago. I was going to do a post like this last year but wimped out from the cold & I’m glad I did because now I have this great blanket scarf to go with it!
Outfit of the Day
Wore this simple outfit to work this week. Blouse is from Target, pants are from Nordstrom (I think), & my favorite ankle boots are from Charlotte Russe.
