WOOSTER & PRINCE‘s pretty personal accessories from katerine d.

they’re so cute! the patterns are designed by amy ormond who was inspired by vintage prints.

emery boards come in a trio pack ($4.95) and the pocket mirror ($5.95) has a message inside!

they have other designs as well. just thought i’d mention that the mirrors will need some T.L.C. because it’s made of paper.. so if you’re the type of person who prefers to be able to just chuck it in a bag, this might not be for you! on the other hand, they are thin and compact and have a very detailed art featured on every inch of the product i think these would make really nice gifts / party favors.

Nail Deco Of The Week #85 + mini review/tut

Saw Lacquerized‘s monarch butterfly nails and had to try it for myself!!!

mine didn’t turn out as nice as hers though

shouldn’t have rushed ._. maybe i will try this mani again in the future and make each nail more uniform + draw the contours better!

color club – wild at heart
sally hansen – hidden treasure
art deco – black
china glaze – white on white

byebye mani…

clean!

now moving on to the 4 way nail buffer that Jessica from Born Pretty sent me

step 1: file nails! i wouldn’t recommend if you want to file a lot because this is a very fine grain. it’s better for touch ups, after 1 or 2 uses you probably will have to dispose of it.

step 2,3: sand nail surface!

step 4: buff surface

dull

shiny!

i wouldn’t recommend using this too often (eg every day).. you are sanding off your nail after all– so you’re thinning your nail though you probably won’t be doing that anyway! one buffing is enough for 2-3 weeks for me~
