Oscar Night

I wore this manicure pretty much all week. Loved it! It took a while to grow on me though. I used striping tape to achieve the look. I started with just one coat of Julep "Pippa", added the tape and then did one thick coat of Zoya "Cynthia".

I quickly put this on today in honour of the Oscars. Julep "Rachel" and then an accent nail of Julep "Oscar".

Are you excited for the Oscars tonight? I am. I always look forward to the Grammy's, Oscars and Golden Globe Award shows. I think Seth McFarlane will be a great host tonight! I haven't seen all of the nominations but Les Miserables blew me away so I really hope it does well. I'd love to see it win Best Pic, Best Supporting Actress (Anne Hathaway) and Best Actor (Hugh Jackman). I'd like to see Jennifer Lawrence win Best Actress (although I don't think she will) because I kind of love her haha And I definitely want Christoph Waltz to win Best Supporting Actor because he's amaaaazing.

Zoya "Crystal" has been a favourite polish of mine for a while and is what introduced me to foil finishes (which I adore). It's an icy blue with gold foil; so unique. It is quite sparkly in the sun but I like it best in the shade so that's what I'm showing you. I did the tips with Zoya "Cynthia" which is a newer polish of mine but definitely a must have. It's a great inky dark blue. Turquoise is my favourite shade but I decided to stick to true blues for this, not green/blue.
