Supposedly we’ll be getting an early spring this year, and what embodies spring more than pastel colors?

This 4 way color gradient gives off an almost duochrome-like effect. I added a thin layer of white polish on top to diffuse the colors. This also makes the nail look like it is lit from within! :D If you don’t have any pastel polish, try using regular colors and then whitewash it with your sheer white polish. My turquoise polish was the lightest one I had on hand, but the white overlay plays it down a bit.

If the glitter & rhinestones are a bit too much for you, feel free to just do the gradient :}

Its Christmas Eve and I’m spending the holidays at home with my family. (And later today I’m meeting up with Kileen from Cute and Little for boba!!!)

I had this little print waiting for me at my parents house (mailed it there while I was moving):

I’m in need of smaller art prints to add to my collection so I bought it from Julia Pott on Etsy.

I love it…. so romantic =)

Here’s another good one:

Anyway… I hope you all have a Merry Christmas =} Excited to see what you guys get tomorrow morning! I’ll be stalking twitter ;)

Just purchased another print to add to my collection!

$20 – ashleyg

The print is 8.5″ x 11″… not a bad deal at all!  Most of my prints are pretty colorful and upbeat but I like the calming neutral background.
