Love Letters and Lace

Can we talk about this colour? I feel like a mermaid. So for my last shellac manicure of the summer (back to school in 2 weeks, aaahhh), I decided to go for this gorgeous metallic turquoise (it has more green undertones than you can see in the picture). It's called 'Hotski to Tchotchke' and yes, I had to Google it to find out how to spell it. I'm so obsessed with it, I honestly cannot stop staring at my nails. I'm gonna miss having colourful nails for 15 weeks but I thought a bright blue like this was the best way to end it. What colour are your nails right now? xo

Hello! I just got my nails done for the New Year and I'm completely in love. It's a shellac manicure in the colour "Glacial Mist" which is the most stunning, sparkly ice blue. I'm obsessed. It's part of the CND Shellac Aurora collection (I previously got Nordic Lights, a sparkly purple, which was also so so incredible) and I have nothing but amazing things to say. What do you think?

My nails tend to break very easily, even when I coat them with hardener, so I usually keep them somewhat short. With the shellac, my nails were so strong, and as promised, 2 weeks later and not a single chip or scratch in the polish. My nails grew out beautifully and I was so so sad to have to remove it. I would have definitely gotten more reapplied, however I can't have anything on my nails during the semester (the joys of clinicals!) Basically, it makes your nails stonger, grow out nicer, the colour looks stunning (an

Another month has ended, and with it brings tons of more amazing products that I've loved all month long! Here's what I loved the most: Too Faced Born This Way foundation I'll probably write a full, in-depth review of this product but OMG. This foundation has taken the #1 spot in my list of favourite foundations. Its honestly so incredible and I've been using it every day. I'd recommend it to anyone. I can't get enough of it. It looks so natural, feels so lightweight and nice on the skin, yet offers great coverage. Lush R&B Hair moisturizer It's been super hot and humid in August where I live, and that usually causes my hair to be out of control and frizzy but this product has honestly saved me. Besides the fact that it smells soooo nice, it makes my hair manageable and soft.
