Essie-ntial

I really like pastels shades, especially those from Essie. Those two combined are beautiful together!

beau - tip

I began to polish my nails 6 years ago...don't really remember exactly when, but what I do remember is an advice my mother gave me once :
Never paint the entire nail, but let some space on each side, it will give an effect of length.
Since then, I always did that way and find it much  cleaner, less "heavy" and classy...


(this is only my personal opinion and I'm not judging anyone...I know that I have no qualifications about beauty so you can disagree with my point of view)

 

and this technic applies for feet too!

 

 

“ ’cause I sold my spirit for your soul

I felt it running through my fingertips
I love you more than you will know
And I hope you understand
My strength lies in your hands
…
You took my only one, when I only wanted love,
When I only wanted love…”                                      Boy & Bear**

sparkling new year

I'm not that bling-bling, but, sometimes, glitter is necessary!
Happy new year!!

“...the lights are flashing

 Down in here tonight
 And some might exchange a glance
 But keep pretending to dance
 Don't act like it's not happening
 As if it's impolite
 To go and mention your name
 Instead you'll just do the same
As they all do, and hope for the best...”             > Arctic Monkeys

white light

I borrowed this polish to my mum and completely love it (especially with sun-tanned skin : perfect for summer)!

 

 

“And you would go to Mykonos

With a vision of a gentle coast

And a sun to maybe dissipate

Shadows of the mess you made…”   > Fleet Foxes

'eternal optimistic' & sketches & music

'Eternal Optimistic' is my favourite Essie nail polish! I was searching  this shade for a long time and this one is just perfect...besides that I just fell in love with Essie itself...

How I can summarize it: soft pink = classy and girly

 

"Take a bunch of optimists, and drop ‘em in the same boat

I don’t really gotta' take so long - take so long

but I'm missin’ all the times in the past

when I couldn’t see your face at all..."                  > Hoodie Allen






* jeans = H&M / top = Mango / Inail polishes = Essie, Mavala

RED

Hey!
I was searching for a nail polish when I discovered that I had four different red colours... First I thought they would be pretty the same, but, in fact, they do not look the same at all!


If you want to be chic and sensuous... black-red is for you ; It-Girl (Sephora)


For a retro-preppy-bright style : Cherry Popsicle (Sephora)

With its orange highlights, this one is perfect for summer! Have Misschievous (Missguided)! and you can admire my little summer degrade...

If you want to look like Marilyn Monroe or any other 'Femme Fatale'... try OPI Red (OPI)
and yes, I did find funny to do some stripes on one nail...

“I am done with my graceless heart

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

Cause I like to keep my issues strong

It's always darkest before the dawn…”                           > Florence + The Machine
