Studded Neutral Gradient

Good morning!  I had a nice relaxing 4-day break over Easter weekend, but I'm ready to get back to blogging!  However, as those of you who know me personally (or follow me on IG) are aware, my immediate family is moving to London (England, not Ontario) tomorrow, so this weekend has been anything but relaxing for them as they packed up the entire house to be shipped across the pond!  As for me, things are still up in the air as to whether I'll stay here for another year or go with them, but we'll see how it all works out. 

Over the past few days I've been helping my sister set up her own blog to document her new life in London, as well as fashion, nails, and food posts.  She's planning to start posting over the next few days, so once she does I'll definitely link to it so you guys can check it out.  I helped her with photos for the first few fashion posts! ;) 

Onto the nails!  This is a look I wore a few weeks ago, and really loved the simple sophisticated look of. 

I started with a coat of LaCC 1981, and the then sponged on the gradient with (lightest to darkest) LaCC 1981, 1988, and 1998.  I then added columns of gold studs to my accent nails, and finished it all with two coats of Seche Vite. 

I'm a huge fan of neutral gradients, they just look so awesome and these three LaCC polishes blend together perfectly!  What do you think of this look?  :)

Coffee Skittlette

Today's my first day back to regular school and dance after my trip to Europe and spring break; it's been really nice, but time to get back to regular life!  Today I've got some random skittlette nail art that I did sometime last week; I really like the nail art in neutral colours!  :)

My index finger is A England Jane Eyre with white acrylic paint.  My ring finger is black acrylic paint over Essie Gym Dandy, which I picked up last week while I was waiting for my mom in the dentist.  She was in there for over 2 hours and there's only so long one can sit in Starbucks alone, so buying nail polish was bound to happen. 

The rest of my nails are gradients with OPI Don't Touch My Tutu! and Essie Gym Dandy, with Born Pretty Store black rhinestones.  The whole look (especially the gradients) were looking very coffee-ish to me, so on my right thumb I did a watermarble with the same two polishes to look like the pretty foamy swirls you get in the top of your coffee!

I wasn't so sure about this look when I first did it, but it grew on me and I ended up wearing it for almost three days!  I was pretty sad when I had to take it off to swatch some stuff.  :P

Posting probably won't be quite a frequent for the next few months until the school year is over.  I'm graduating this year, so it's pretty important that I stay on top of my school work.  On top of that, we're charging head-first into rehearsals for multiple shows, and I've still got to try to keep up with the blogging!  I'll  still post as often as I can (hopefully at least 3-4 times per week); I hope you all understand!  :)
