Want #Unique Nails 4 the #Holidays?



I have recently been trying to brainstorm some ideas for complete looks for the Christmas holiday and have been successful in finding the clothing portion of things. But when it came to the accessories, it became a little bit repetitive with the selections in the stores, so I decided to search online instead. I came across this nail polish shop called Kaayli Nails on Etsy.com and I must say that I am very impressed! For those that aren't familiar with Etsy.com, it is your go to site for all things unique and handmade. 


I saw the Pure Gold polish (above) and I fell in love instantly! 


Then, I scrolled down and saw the large array of colors from Sea Green (above) to Pink Glaze, every color stood out in their own unique way. 


The creator of Kaayli Nails is Rebekah in San Diego, CA., who got bored with the usual colors available in stores and decided to create her own, unique and high end polish line. Her polishes would make a great gift because they all come in a cute, mini polish bottle and you have the option of just purchasing one at $4.50, a duo for $7.50, a trio at $10.50 or a quad set of polishes for $13.50! Great prices for you to split the the polishes between yourself and to gift them out to every lady that you know!


In the pic below, I have created an entire look showcasing how both the Pure Gold polish and the Sea Green polish can work for two different looks for the same woman--A busy mom on Christmas trying to make it to visit a few family members homes during the day with the kids with enough time to make it to an after hours Christmas party with the girls!

Need a #Unique, Handmade Necklace 4 the Holidays?


As we all know, the holidays have sprung up on us (very quickly might I add) and I am definitely stumped when it comes to figuring out what to get my friends and family for gifts. So, I came across this very cool shop called EternalGirl on Etsy.com. For those that aren't familiar with Etsy.com, it is your go to site for all things unique and handmade and I absolutely LOVE this jewelry shop! I saw this Libra necklace (and I am a Libra btw!) and I just couldn't resist! The artwork is all handmade by Julia, a local D.C. area artist who draws her inspirations from Henna and Mehndi art. Every piece is made with love and she has a connection with each piece that she creates, which shows in the detail of her work (seen in the above pic). With the necklaces, you not only have the option of two different chain lengths (18 inches or 24 inches and I got the 24 inch necklace), but you can also get it customized in a different color, which makes this a great personalized gift for a friend or family member for only $15!

In the pic below, I have created an entire look showcasing the Libra necklace and how I would personally wear the necklace for the holidays! The necklace has a bohemian look to it in my opinion, so I created a Boho-Chic look that suits it very well, while also making the necklace stand out!
