Sparkling Galaxy Nails
It has been ages since I have done galaxy nails but I was inspired while packing away my makeup and finding an unopened pack of sponges so decided that sparking galaxy nails were in order. I love the look of galaxy nails and while not as time-consuming (or difficult) as other nail art, I find […]

Essie Coat Couture Swatches + Nailart

How Many White Nail Polishes Do You Need?
As I took photos of the latest Essence Mountain Calling collection, my boyfriend asked me “how any white nail polishes do you need?”. While I am impressed he can even tell that the bottle is not the same each time, the answer is, not as many as he thinks I have but a few. I […]
