Tonight I have the Priti NYC Orient Express Collection! This collection hits home for me because it was inspired by various sites in Europe! I love the collection and can't wait for you all to see the pretties!

Mani of the Day:Mosaic!

Todays mani of the day is inspired by this mosaic from Park Guell in Barcelona. I loved the artistic details of the park and wanted to replicate it in the nail art. I used Zoya Jacqueline for the base and acrylic paint to create the design!

New Black Walrus Ombre Set

Today(well tonight!) I have an exciting nail polish set for you all! This is The New Black Walrus 5-Piece Set. I LOVE the idea of packaging a set for ombres, I have always wanted to try the trend but did not know exactly what colors to pair together. The New Black ombre sets make it super easy! Walrus is a range of tans, ranging from a white to shimmery brown polish. 

Fast Track

I have already told you about my LOVE of the Hunger Games, if you don't know already, please just go out now and buy the books. I have read the trilogy now and was completely blown away..I don't read that much but I was captivated by the books and couldn't put them down. I am super-excited for the movie that comes out TODAY! March 23 and will be seeing it soon. 

Today's review is for China Glaze's Fast Track from the Capital Colors (Hunger Games) Collection.  Fast Track is a beautiful light nude/tan/gold with a amazing gold/yellow shimmer. Fast Track is designed for District 6, Transportation (I don't exactly see the link there, but hey I think the color is gorgeous so I am definitely not complaining!)

Manicure of the Day!

Today's Mani of The Day is a mani I am especially proud of. Like many of my favorite manis, its a floral! The flowers kind of remind me of hawaii, so this is my Hawaii Floral Design! The foundation color is Essie's Case Study (review here), which is one of my favorite colors to make designs on! Case Study can be purchased here. I also used pink, green, black and white acrylic paint! Acrylic paint can be found at your local craft store, Michael’s and ACMoore.

Manicure of the Day!

I have been super busy with work, classes and planning my future that I am severely sleep-deprived and basically relying on caffeine to function. I figured since I have been living off of coffee lately why not devote a cute mani to it! So today's mani is a Coffee Design!  

I used Essie's Case Study (review here) for the foundation color. I also used brown, black and white acrylic paint (as always) to create the beans, cup and cafe! Acrylic paint can be found at your local craft store, Michael’s and ACMoore. 

Case Study

This is a review for Essie's Case Study, part of their Fall 2011 collection. I purchased it from Amazon. It is described by Essie as a " rich camel beige" which is spot on. This creamy tan beige is beautiful.
