It's Christmas time!!!

Hello everyone ^_^/

I will start this post by wishing everyone a merry merry Christmas! Best wishes for you and your families!
I hope you are all enjoying this day with your loved ones ^_^

And here is my Christmas mani for this year. As it is snowing I wanted it to be snow themed.

I used some of the China Glaze Let it Snow collection as I found it to be appropriate.

My base was Blue Year's Eve. Then on some nails I sponged Icicle and on some I used Snow Globe. Finally I used some snow themed nail decals and my mani was ready ^_^

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone and make sure you have lots of fun <3

November in pictures

Hello everyone ^_^/

the final days of the exhibition are approaching fast and my schedule is as hectic as ever but here is a post I have been meaning to make this week (and never found the time). It is another photoblog, for the month of November.

The weather was still lovely so I spent a lot of time playing with B-chan in the garden ^_^

But the nights were chilly enough for a cozy evening by the fireplace.

I tried learning some cooking recipes from my mum, which were quite hard to make. Making fullo pastry for pies and cabbage rolls. I enjoy eating both of course but I fail at making them :o

I worked a lot on my crafts preparing for the exhibition...

But I never neglected my nails ^_^

NARS Night Series

Hello everyone ^_^/

Just two weeks are left for Christmas so I did a bit of holiday shopping. One of the top items on my wishlist was the whole NARS Night Series collection. I love the Night Series eyeshadows and have collected almost all of them over the years so as soon as I saw the eyeshadow palette and nail polishes I knew they had to be mine.

I was so excited when the package arrived!

Here is what was inside. The NARS Night Series Eyeshadow Palette and two nail polishes, Night Breed, a black creme with silver glitter, and Night Rider, a sparkly glittery light purple.

I am so in love with these two nail polishes right now <3
So of course I had to wear them on the spot. Application was perfect, as expected of NARS nail polishes, and you would be pleased to know that these are one coaters! I still applied two coats but one would have been just fine.

After wearing my nails like this for a couple of days, I wanted to spice them up a bit so I did a drip design using the same colours.

What do you think of this collection? Will you be getting anything from it? Are you a fan of NARS in general?

What I have been up to

Hello everyone ^_^/

As you might remember a few posts back I mentioned I was working on something very exciting.
Today I can finally reveal what it is. I will be taking part in an art exhibition in my hometown, showcasing my jewellery, nail and deco creations!

The exhibition opens on Saturday Dec 10 and will last for a week.
So for the last few weeks I have been working non stop making all sorts of preparations.
Here is a sneak preview of what has been going on over at my work bench lately.

This is so challenging and exciting for me, especially since deco is practically unknown here and this will be the first time it is properly exhibited in my area! So I want to do my best and present everything in the best possible way.

I will make a post about the exhibition with lots of photos and coverage when it is over.

For the time being back to work I go. I hope everyone has a nice evening ^_^

December nail inspiration, Christmas nails

Hello everyone ^_^

wow, December is already here, so this means that this is the last nail inspiration post for 2011!
December is my favourite month of the year for two reasons mainly! A. it marks the beginning of winter and B. Christmasssss!!!! Need I say more?

This month's nail inspiration comes from the December issue of Nail Max and is of course Christmas themed! So get ready for a variety of different Christmas nail art designs!

There are many different nail looks you can do for Christmas, whether you prefer warm or cool colours.

And here are a few simple nail art tutorials for more everyday nail looks from the December 2009 edition of Nail Venus.

I always love browsing through my old nail magazines and get inspiration from them too. Do you keep your old magazines or do you throw them away? I archive mine.

And that's it for this month's nail inspiration, I hope you liked some of these looks and got some ideas for amazing manicures *^_^*

On a sidenote, Cel's deconails can now be found on Google+ too. Just follow this link or click the button on the right sidebar to check it out :)
