Pretty Holiday Nails

Photos via weheartit

Nothing makes me more happy than adding some Holiday glitter, glamour and sparkle to my nails! Whether you stick with fun loving eye catching nails or go for ultra pretty and glam, the Holiday season is perfect for some feel-good-me-time magic with these tutorials here. My personal favorites (that I'm dying to try) are the marble nails (I still need to find a good tutorial for those) and I love the gradient nails (I collected a Gradient Nails tutorial here)! The rhine stone nails are new for me too but I think they would look marvelous on special occasions like the Holidays and New Years eve but somehow I can't help thinking they would get stuck in my hair ;)

Happy Lazy Sunday! Today is all about the fine art of having a relaxing, soothing, snoozing Sunday! A perfect slow day, a day for breakfasts in bed, naps and baths, here are 5 ways (and tutorials) to snooze through your day!

Breakfast in Bed

Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, high tea, Sunday's are to be spent in bed! There is such a thing as an art to making the perfect breakfast in bed! A little preparation goes a long way, shop for your weekend breakfasts, look up recipes and enjoy your weekend with delicious homemade pancakes, fruit shakes and croissants and better yet, make your guy do so ;)

Cat Nap

Cat nap, power nap, no Sunday is spent more perfectly than having afternoon naps! We love the art and science behind naps, indicating how long to nap!

A little bit of Nail-me Time

Sunday's are perfect for a cozy manicure, to cuddle up in front of the TV doing nothing but your nails! Perfect to try the many lush diy's or just a simple gloss or powerful red!

Summer Nail Inspiration

My Summer nail inspiration board (via pinterest)
I'm loving the feel of neutral colors subtle infused with natural stones (for a kind of a subdued hybrid feel) Golds, Rose Golds and coppers, earthy tones, black linear touches and colorful marbles!

Oxblood Nails

I can't help but having some burgundy/oxblood nail color love for the Spring/Summer season.
The dark and deep shades of red match beautifully with nudes, peachy pinks,creamy whites and florals adding a sultry sensuality to light and sweet palettes!

One of the most lush manicures is the Cherry Blossom Girl's half moon manicure and luckily for us we can find her tutorial here:
