Blogmas Day 12: Essence Advent Calendar 1-12

Twelve days of December have already gone by and I can't quite believe it. I've been opening my Essence advent calendar each day, and today I'm here to show you what was hiding behind the first 12 doors:

4 berry nailpolish options for fall

What other colors describe autumn better than burgundy and berry shades? For me, nothing beats a good autumnal berry manicure, and after applying one of my new favorites, I decided to share with you some of my favorite picks for berry nails.

Nail it #9: Spring Florals

The other day I was so excited about spring, I decided to do a floral manicure on my nails and since I quite like how it turned out, I'm sharing it with you in case you need some inspiration.

Mint State of Mind

Sunny days and warmer weather means that spring is finally back. Even though I love winter, I couldn't be happier that there are warmer days ahead of us. And what better way to prepare for spring than to add some color to your life?

New in my beauty stash #10 - Essie

Last year I became obsessed with Essie nail polishes. At the end of the year, I had a coupon and got to choose 3 nail polishes for half a price. I couldn't pass up the opportunity and picked these.

Blogmas 30: The Christmas Challenge Overview

 Throughout December I've been doing the Christmas Challenge that Taya created this year. I've enjoyed it very much and I like how it challenged me to think out of the box and create some looks that I probably wouldn't do otherwise. I posted the last »entry« yesterday, and now I want to do an overview so that you will be able to see all the posts in one place!

Blogmas 25: Christmas Inspired Nails

Blogmas 23: Santa Claus is coming to town

 For the theme of the 8th day of Taya's Christmas Challenge she picked »Santa Claus is coming to town«. 

I must admit I am not a big fan of cartoon-like Santa Clauses, so I didn't want to do that on the nails. 

I decided to focus on the colors the remind me of Santa Claus.

Blogmas 17: Under the Tree

It's time for the day 6 of Taya's Christmas Challenge and today's theme was » Under the Tree«.

Blogmas 15: Inspired by a shooting star

Blogmas 11: Revlon Parfumerie Nailpolish -African Tea Rose

 I wanted to try these nail polishes since the moment they got released. I got this shade for my birthday in the summer and have been using a ton ever since. I thought it would be a great idea for a Christmas present or just an inspiration how to brighten up these cold winter days.  

Blogmas 7: Christmas Sparkle

The closer we get to Christmas, the sparklier everything becomes! The theme for the day 3 of Taya's Christmas Challenge was Christmas sparkle and this is what I came up with. 

Blogmas 4: Snowman Nailspiration

For the second day of the Christmas Challenge Taya set the Christmas Character theme. I created this simple snowman design and I love how fun and playful the look came out!

Nail it #4 Essence 106 Free Hugs

There was a short period of time when I completely banned pink color from my life. I considered it to be way to girly, childish and Barbie like. 

But as years went by, I started slowly letting it back into my life. Recently I crossed another line and got myself a pink nail polish that I have been eyeing for quite a while.
