Bluey as Gold

Purchased by Me 

Morning friends!

I am so happy to be walking and have my freedom again its amazing. Even being able to walk to my kitchen and get a glass of juice and walk back to my room is possible now. It's those little things that make life so much simpler :)

Todays look is some simple stamping and gradients that honestly I'm in love with. I was browsing through my helmer looking for something beautiful I forgot I owned and stumbled upon butter LONDON Bluey.

GAH it is gorgeous and I haven't used it nearly enough. Freakin love this colour!

Since we all know I'm obsessed with gold I decided to stamp with Essie Good As Gold and MASH-40. I had seen a few people use this swirly stamp in the past few months and had it on the back of my mind to use at some point. I also haven't done any gradients in a while and thought that I needed to spice this up with some gold gradient accents.

Sometimes simple looks are best and this I am totally digging! What are your thoughts?

Hope you're having a fab day!

I CAN WALK!!!! NO MORE CRUTCHES! :D

Purchased by Me

I CAN WALK! I CAN WALK! After 10 long weeks on crutches, an MRI and thinking I might need surgery I have finally gotten the all clear from my surgeon! No more crutches, no more cast, just a brace and a few weeks of physio to build my strength back up. I am insanely relieved and over the moon that I won't need surgery and have some freedom back finally.

My nails have been bare the past few days because honestly my stomach was in knots waiting for the results of the MRI that I couldn't muster a manicure. I did these ikat and accent nails about a week or so ago and absolutely loveeeddd wearing these.

These were actually the good luck nails that I wore for my MRI because I couldn't use glitter. I was browsing through tumblr and found this manicure and just knew I needed to recreate it.

I started with Essie Watermelon on my accent nails and Barielle Swizzle Stix on my ikat nails. Then I used a striping brush and Watermelon and white creme and Swizzle Stix to create my ikat pattern. Loving this ikat look.

This was a fun look to wear and apparently it brought me good luck as I can walkkkkk!!!! :D

Well what do you think of this nail look? I'm off to enjoy my new found freedom! Probably just by walking around my apartment, but still! :D

Have a great day!

The Digit-al Dozen Does BLING! 18K Gold with Chains

Press Sample Purchased by Me

Afternoon friends!

Today is the last day in the Digit-al Dozen's BLING week! I'm sad this week is coming to a close, it has been so fun creating crazy blingy manicures. You all know this won't be the last bling that you see from me! Todays nails aren't necessarily insanely bling, but they involve 18K Gold and some hawt chains so I think they fall into the bling category!

These are so bold and in your face I LOVED wearing them. They were so luxurious and fun and totally out of this spring season. So me and I never wanted to take them off!

On my thumb and ring nail I started with the fabulous OPI Innie Minnie Mighty Bow and then added a coat and a half of Zoya Gilty. I dabbed a few extra flakes where I wanted them to get the effect I was going for. On my index and middle nail I started with Cult Nails Tempest and then added the black dots and stripes with Cult Nails Fetish. On my pinky nail I just used Fetish as another accent nail. I felt like there was enough going on in the manicure already lol.

These bold in your face manicures are so me and I am loving what these chains can do! Would you ever wear anything like this?! You can pick up these chains here at Born Pretty Store for $2.99 for 100cm of chain. You'll never run out it's so much! Also remember to use my 10% off code SA7 X31

Hope you are having a great Friday and have a lovely long weekend! I'm home for the weekend and my sister is coming home from school! I haven't seen her since Christmas so I'm super excited!

The Digit-al Dozen Does BLING! Gold Glitter Blingtastic

Purchased by Me

Morning friends!

Today is day 4 in BLING week and I'm totally digging what I have to share with you today! A few weeks back I was browsing through Finger Painted and saw this manicure that Lexi had done on a client and instantly fell in love and knew I needed to create my own version.

I'm a tad obsessed with gold glitter bling this week it seems! But nothing wrong with that right ;)

On my thumb, middle and ring nails I started with OPI My Boyfriend Scales The Walls the perfect off white creme and on my accent nails I used my current favourite China Glaze Angel Wings. I sponged on Angel Wings to create a little gold glitter gradient on my non accent nails. Holographic gold glitter be still my heart!

Then I grabbed my Cult Nails Gemstones and sorted through until I found enough champagne coloured gems to make my bow and have accents on the rest of my nails. Lexi had used Swarovski crystals, and those looked amazing, but I'm digging the champagne colour here!

I couldn't narrow down my pictures here because I am in love with this look. So much rhinestones and glitter and bliiiiiiiiiiinnngggggg! I can't contain how much I love bling looks and this week is SO FUN! What do you all think of this look?
