I've been spending a lovely day at home today with my marketing homework and fruit infused water (which is my new favorite think to have between meals), which has been pretty nice. Kinda like having a new weekend right after Monday. Who wouldn't like that?

So today, I wanted to show you these two nail designs I did earlier this month. I'm daring to say I've been more inspired than before with nail art so hopefully I can produce some nice ones for you to see. But let's get to business, shall we?

First up is kind of my NYE mani, but since I wore it more this month, I figured it's 2015 mani already. I really liked the sparkle and the gradient there quite a bit, and I guess it's safe to say this at least kind of looks like a themed mani.

I gotta say that there's just something about the multicolored glitter that I love so, so much! They can make such a cool effect to a design.

The polishes I used for these nails were China Glaze White On White, Grape Pop, Dune Our Thing, One Track Mind, Meet Me Under The Stars and Dancing & Prancing. The star studs are from Born Pretty Store.

The other design is much more light and very simple. I wanted to try out something different but didn't really have the time to do wonders. So I went for this glitter mix n match and quite liked it. Especially the way the gold glitter looks with the blue,

Apologies for the little crackles you may see in the white, I didn't have the time to photo these before the matte top coat made it's mark after over a day's wear. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong there, but if I figure it out, I will share the info.

The polishes I used for these nails were China Glaze White On White, Capacity To See Beyond, Don't Be A Flake and Essie Summit Of Style.

So there you have it, two nail art designs for today. I'm hoping you guys liked these, but I can promise there are better ones to come fairly soon. If you want to get sneak peeks, just follow my social media accounts for more.

Let me know what you think about these nails in the comments below!

Now, it's time for me to go relax and have a hot beverage with a TV show before bed, and tomorrow, I will be writing yet another essay for the whole damn day. Hopefully the hard spring semester will bring plenty of positive results, as I feel kinda very stressed by the work load already. But tomorrow is also pizza day for me, and I will post something about it this week. Yay for food posts?

Have a lovely day you all ♥

I've had a fun start to my weekend with my fiance, and have got the relaxation I desperately needed after stressing out a lot about things in school and all. Now everything feels little bit clearer and doable, so my confidence is back where it should be. The project we have in school is getting more and more interesting every week, and I feel pretty blessed I get to be in it. 

Today, I wanted to share this little outfit I wore about a week ago. I loved the items in it, but was a little bummed I had to wear a coat over it while taking the pics.

So there you go, a casual look I wore to school and later on weekend when the pics were taken. I really liked wearing this, the pants are unbelievably comfortable and I liked the denim shirt with it. I should have taken pictures without the thick coat, but it seriously was cold so I thought I'd better stay warm and avoid getting sick. I really wish for warmer days with more daylight time, as it makes all the difference for blogging.

What do you guys think about this look? Let me know in the comments below!

Now, I'm gonna get some sleep so that I can get some of the next week's homework done tomorrow after a good night's rest. I should read a book about marketing and whip up an essay about it before Friday night, so I better get going with it right away. Seriously I have no idea how I'm going to manage all my essays this spring. It will take a lot of planning together with all my other life.

Tomorrow I do try to post you another little thing, if my schedule doesn't get too crazy. But talk to you soon whether it's tomorrow or on Monday!

Have a great weekend ♥ 

Yesterday I finally got many things sorted with both of my laptops - which is why I didn't have the time to blog. Today, I've been very much stuck with my management essay,  which is due tomorrow  morning so I'm getting it sorted tonight. Luckily that doesn't have to be long, but rather all facts and useful information, so I can write something proper in few hours. And if that isn't enough, I have another one due next Friday. And here I was thinking we are learning to do things here rather than just reading a ton of books. Wrong.

Anyway, today I really wanted to share a little crafting post with you. I saw these through some blogs and YouTube and really wanted to try them out.

What am I talking about? Well, about these Japanese candy making sets. They're called Kracie Popin' Cookin', and there are many cute sets to choose from. I bought three of them, and in this post I'm telling you how the bento one worked for me. It sure looks cute and all!



My first concern was seeing the instructions - which were all in Japanese. As I don't know the language, it was kinda hard to tell what they said. Luckily I had seen this been made in a video, so I had at least a tiniest idea of what I needed to do. But, for the sake of experimenting, I didn't watch it again for making this.



So I got the decorations fixed, but then...



There were a big pile of different colored packs. Again, absolutely no idea which is which, but at least they were kinda clearly color-coded. So off we go.



Then began the mixing. The insides of the bags needed to be mixed with some water so that they would turn into candies.



...and yes, these are candies. Little different looking than I'm used to. But surely they will taste good.




The rice candies had very different texture to them, which was pretty interesting.



And the finished product looks like this. I'm pretty proud of it, even though it's not half as pretty as the one in front of the box. Was it tasty? Well, the tastes were different than what I'm used to, but eatable. The black "frosting" was the best part of the whole thing, sour and tasty. All in all I think it's worth of the few euros it costs, especially if you would either do one with a friend or a child, or if you would make it into a friendly contest of who can make a prettier one. I would totally recommend this!

I had a short, yet quite challenging day at school, as the lecture of the day was about financial stuff - mostly accounting - so the three hours were harder on me than I had expected. But, I managed to do the tasks I had planned for today, including reading more of my essay book. I can quit confidently say that it will be a proper essay later this week. Though, I can admit having procrastinated more than I would've liked to. But you know, nothing makes you work like a deadline, right?

Today, I'm just writing a quick post showing the last two manicures of 2014 - at least the ones that I photographed as one was solely captured with my cell properly. (Bad me.)

So this is how my Christmas mani looked like, lights, tree, glitter and candy cane. Pretty traditional, and nothing new. But tradition is why I needed to do something like this for Christmas.

For these I used China Glaze White On White, Pining For Glitter, Seas The Day, Gossip Over Gimlets, Gosh Blue Balloon, L'Oreal Color Riche Green Couture and couple of other polishes.

The only thing that I didn't like was the untidy finish of the light nails. Somehow the rest of m black polish seems to have dried up so I definitely need to invest in a new one (and maybe in some acrylic paints as I'm on it).

The other one is a pretty simple mani that kinda worked as a transition mani between Christmas and NYE nails. It's festive, but not too obviously Christmassy. Not exactly my favorite, but I did love the sparkle.

For these I used Essie Thigh High, China Glaze Twinkle Lights and De-Light. The idea I had was very simple, I just decided to add a lot of glitter and be done with it.

This was fun to wear, but a pain to remove - as you can guess. That's the cost of loving glitter a lot.

So there, the two last manis for 2014 . I had so much fun with nails last year, and will definitely be continuing that this year. I'm eager to learn new techniques as well as to better my old ones, so I think we will have quite fun time with that here on the blog. 

What do you guys think about these nails? Let me know down below ♥

Also, if you have suggestions for possible nail art tutorials, hit me with a message and I try to make it happen. Now, I'm hitting the sofa for a while an unwind watching some series before bed. I'll be back soon with another topic!

Have a fabulous day!
