Lifestyle
I’m trading my usual neutrals for a spellbinding purple cat-eye. If nails are the only costume I’m wearing this Halloween, let’s make them hauntingly chic.
If nails are the only Halloween costume I wear, let’s make them bloody fashionable.
Forget the shortbread tin; this is tartan with a moody, metallic upgrade. Because nothing says it quite like a chocolate-and-electric-blue mani.
Channelling sun-drenched wanderlust with turquoise swirls and golden charms. My summer getaway essential, bottled and brushed.
An array of salt-buffed blues and greens topped with shimmering water droplets—these are my summer daydreams bottled and brushed.
Inspired by Barbiecore and summer retro vibes, cyan nails are a pure expression of happiness—think wavy lines, glitter, and a dash of sun-soaked nostalgia.
Trade the heavy glitters for a soft-focus glow. These rainbow aura nails are my grown-up, editorial answer to the nostalgic mood rings of our youth.
Forget the flat rainbows of years past; we’re celebrating Pride with a high-octane, velvet-finish prism that dances in the June sun.
About Me
Dear Reader,
Thank you for being here and for taking the time to check out my work.
I am a sucker for all things beautiful—places, clothes, packaging, souls, stories, notions. Which probably only half explains my incessant, if not annoying, curiosity to explore the foreign.
I created this space to document life and forge connections with strangers (just like you), and I’m honoured to share a piece of my world with you. I hope my work inspires you to experience this beautiful planet and all its unknowns; hopefully, some of my small thoughts will resonate and spark joy in your day.
Please feel free to leave me a note about anything you’re interested in or to say hello! It's always a pleasure to have you drop by.
Join me in celebrating gratitude and togetherness with the city’s best traditions under the magic of a full moon.
