Sea green and sparkles

My nails of the week feature a sea-inspired sparkly mani! After seeing so many deep blue sea hues around fashion land this week, I thought I'd give it a try on my nails (as I'm not really into wearing ocean colours). It's not quite reminiscent of what Ariel would wear if you could even paint your nails under water, but it'll do me just fine!
Just discovered the OPI Germany collection so stay tuned for pics of that soon!

New In - OPI Holland Collection

I am always very excited after placing an order with my favourite Ebay shop: Justpolish. Although I know it will take up to three weeks to arrive, it's well worth the wait as OPI varnishes go for a fraction of the price in the US (compared to the limited sale points here in Amsterdam). In addition to fashion and lifestyle blogs, I like to keep up with the nailpolish blogs and couldn't wait to get my hands (or indeed nails) on the new OPI Holland collection. With names like Gouda Gouda Two Shoes, Thanks a Windmillion and Pedal Faster Suzi!, who could resist?
My favourite so far is the hot pink Kiss me on my Tulips, which seems to have a bluish undertone and seems almost neon in sunlight. With the current weather situation, bright nails will definitely be cheering me up this week!

My weekend makes!

Stay tuned for more photos and tutorials of how to make your own glitter boots and bag, wrapped rope necklaces and cute colar necklace.

Get your nails did!

I love playing around with nail art and have been since I can remember. I used to cut out my own stickers to make stripy patterns but now that nail art has become a big thing, you can buy supplies anywhere!
For nail art I’m a big fan of Essence because it’s cheap and it works. My go-to brands for nail varnish are Chanel (obv), OPI (imported from the USA for a fraction of the price), Catrice (a bargain at €2,50 and updated colours monthly) and Koh (so expensive it comes in a case).
A a self-confessed shopaholic I’m often left with a bit of month at the end of my money so nail varnish (which ranges from €1 to €25) can always provide a quick fix :)
These nails were all done freehand, and I’ll be sure to make a DIY in the near future!
