Born Pretty Store Review - Tribal Print Decals

*Disclaimer: this item was received for review. All opinions expressed are my own and are not influenced by anything or anyone.

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I've posted here - I'm sorry. Life has been changing for me, and I still find it hard to combine work and social life. Most days I'm so tired I just fall down on the couch after work haha (and not so haha actually).

However, I still have some products to review for Born Prety Store, so I got my lazy ass to work! First up are these tribal water decals.

Hiii!

I've been absent for the past 2 weeks - big oops. I've been busy with work and then in the weekends I'm busy not working and relaxing and seeing friends, so I didn't have much time to blog.

However, I bring you a lovely polish today! I'm reviewing my last Shimmer Polish (boohoo sad face).

Royal Purple Stamping

Hi everyone!

I'll be showing you a new polish today, but first I have some life stuff to share with you! You'll probably remember my Summer of Guest Posts, where I had amazing guest posts on my blog on Saturdays during the Summer, because I was very busy with an internship at that time. Thanks again btw to the lovely ladies who helped me out!!

Now, the most amazing thing has happened: my intership offered my a job!! I loved working there during my internship, so I was super happy when I could stay even longer (and get paid for it, haha!) However, this means I'll only have time for nail art during my Weekends, so I'll probably be posting only once a week here instead of twice, like I used to do. On the bright side though: I have a job :D *insert ABBA 'Money Money Money'*

I hope you'll all stick with me while I'm still adjusting to this new work rythm, and well, I just wanted to share this really great news with all of you :)

Now, for the nail art!

Another great guest post today in my Summer of Guest Posts series! Today Ina from My Nail Polish Online is up.

Today Ina has a very fun and elegant design for us. Let's take a look!

Hi everyone!

Today there's a little break from all the fun guest posts - here's a post of myself again! :D

Summer of Guest Posts: FrankieHuntersNails!

Hi everyone!

Another Saturday, another amazing guest post in my Summer of Guest Posts series!

This time my dear friend Franzi from FrankieHuntersNails is up - and oh boys and girls, you will adore this design! I WANT THIS ON MY NAILS AND I WOULD NEVER EVER TAKE IT OFF AGAIN, that's how amazing it looks! <3 She brought lots and lots of pictures with her and you won't mind at all because it looks stunning!

So let's get started - Franzi, we're all ears!

Summer of Guest Posts: Ithinity Beauty

Hi everyone!

So, as I mentioned in a previous blog post - and as you will have probably noticed by my lack of posting these past weeks - I am doing an internship right now! It's amazingly fun and I love it lots and lots. 

However, there's a downside as well: I get home quite late and am so tired from working (how do grown up people do this??!) that I just want to lie on the couch and not do nail art things. In the weekends I luckily have some time for nail art, so hopefully I will still be able to post my own nail art once a week/every other week.

Now, the good news! I came up with a plan to have some lovely posts on my blog this summer - with guest posts! I've asked some of my favourite bloggers if they would want to make a guest post for me. You'll get one guest post per week, every Saturday, for the entire Summer. Hence my brilliant name: Summer of Guest Posts! :D Lol also please excuse my amateuristic logo.

This week, the lovely Ithi from Ithinity Beauty kicks off our guest post series! She does such lovely designs who always have a cute story behind them - I think that's what I love most about Ithi's nail art! Ithi has great freehand skills - as you will see below ;) I was very glad she wanted to guest post for me and I adore the design she came up with - GAH IT'S JUST TOO CUTE! Without further ado, please enjoy!

Hi everyone!

First up, sorry for my absence! I've started an internship (which will continue throughout the entire Summer) so life has become very busy for me! However, life also has become very fun because I love the internship a lot! :D I won't have as much time to post on the blog this Summer - but I have a masterplan that will make up for that! More about that coming soon ;)

And now, it's shimmy shimmer time again! And more specifically, green shimmer time!

Nail Art Book Review: Basic Nail Art Techniques and How to Combine Them (by Ina from My Nail Polish Online)

*Disclaimer: this product was provided for review. All opinions expressed are my own and not influenced by anyone or anything.

Hi everyone!

Today's post is very different from what normally appears on this blog - and then again it's actually not different at all! The "different" part is the fact that I'm reviewing a book - the "non different" part is that it's a nail art book! :D This is my first book review, so if I forgot to mention something feel free to ask in the comments! This will be a long review, but it's worth it!
