The Nail Files: Neon + Sparkles

Step One: Paint
 Step Two: Glitter
 Step Three: Top Coat
 Step Four: Nail Partay!!!

Hi there and happy Sunday!

I thought I would start doing occasional posts on something I am slightly majorly obsessed with- NAIL POLISH! I am totally the girl who paints her nails every week (sometimes twice) and I love trying new fun colors, adding glitter, and I am even known to dabble in some nail art here and there (when I have time).

So when my fabulous co-worker Maria got some new Forever 21 polishes sent to her(jealous) and volunteered them to the office gals, you know myself and Carlina jumped at the chance! I chose to go with this fluorescent pink which was just screaming my name. I had also just purchased the Spoiled neon orange (pictured above) and thought they would be so fun together.

To start I painted all my nails the new Forever 21 pink except my ring finger which was painted the orange. Each of these polishes needed three coats to get the saturated effect that I liked. I then used my favorite Forever 21 Love&Beauty glitter to paint just the tips- using two coats to get the nice gradient effent. Then finished it off with my Sally Hansen top coat and Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my first mani post! :-) There will be more in the future!

Florals, Lace and Glitter





 Floral Tank: H&M // Lace Top: Forever21 // Skirt: TJMaxx // Denim Jacket: Nordstrom // Flower Pin: Charlotte Russe // Shoes: Old Navy // Sunglasses: Asos // Ring: Chloe Rose Boutique // Bangles: Forever 21, H&M, Swaovski

This is actually the outfit I wore on Valentine's Day last week that I never got around to posting (sowee). I knew I wanted to wear something feminine, but not the typical red or pink dress, so I opted for a fun printed skirt and layered a floral tank under this lace top and I really like the effect it gave. The subtle floral print just barely comes through the lace adding light pops of color, and of course with my glitter pumps and floral pin adds that extra girliness to the look.  Finished with my most festive bangles and fave denim blazer, I was definitely dressed for a nice night with my boyfriend...and not to mention this was a boyfriend approved outfit, which is always a win! :-)

Happy Thursday friends!

Sparkletastic





Sweater: Old Navy Shoes: Old Navy ($7!) Jeans: Joe's Watch: Michael Kors

I warned you all that I love a good deal, and these shoes were just that! I got these sparkletastic pumps at Old Navy over the weekend for just $7.00- can you believe that?! Needless to say I was a happy girl and couldn't wait to wear them with my also new and $7.00 sweater- Score! 

Is anyone else noticing Old Navy stepping up their style game?
