Clawed: Gilded

I'm trying out new nail art, so I thought why not drips?  It's meant to look like the gold is dripping onto my nail.  It's not the best, but I like it.
 I originally did drips on all my nails, but it was looking too messy.  Hence the pink around my nails. 
It's actually really easy to do, in theory anyway.  First, apply a color as your base.  Let dry.  Then, use a dotting tool to make two dots of another color.  While thats wet, use more polish to drag it up your nail.  Then, paint your tip with this color, and touch up with a dotting tool to make the edges rounded.  You can add a dot or two to suggest more dripping.  Top with a top coat.  And don't worry if you don't have a real dotting tool.  I used a flat-top pin stuck into an eraser of a pencil.  You can also use the tip of a bobby pin.  Enjoy!

Style Musings: Signs of Spring

The sun is out, the air is warm, the birds are singing. It's officially spring. About time, too.
To celebrate spring, I wore pastels and brights. A patterned Forever 21 top gave me the pastel, while a pair of bright violet Forever 21 pants contributed a bright. I think it works. The color of the pants match one of the colors in the top. The shoes ground the look.
Throw in a little 70's with the brown Born flatforms. I could wear these things forever.
To integrate the color of the flatforms, I wore a golden vintage chainlink bracelet. It was my grandmothers. It reminds me of my grandfather, who we called Pops. I remember him always wearing a chainlink necklace.

A Bit of Romance

I wanted to see how I can style my new dress from H&M today. It is pink and transparent. I did a little romantic look today. I had to put a tank underneath because it gaps. Then I piled pearls on. They are all from my grandmother and great-grandmother. A key-shaped ring from Aldo brought in some gold. Gold Report flats add to the romantic feel.

My doggie decided to join me. My ring from Aldo Accessories. And purple nails!

Criticism

I think this outfit is cute! Maybe neutral heels would work, too. I just have to work on my posing.


Stay pink!
