I Wish I Was Good at Nail Art

Sorry for the serious topics lately, back to fun stuff tho! (at least for a while) ;) Lately everyone seems to be having really pretty nails all the time. It's not one colored stuff anymore, but its different designs and everything. I love nail art, it's so pretty. Unfortunately I'm not much of a nail person to begin  with. I paint my nails and wait for the nail polish to peel off. I wish I actually bothered to take the nail polish off after it starts looking bad but I'm really lazy at that. Otherwise I have really good nails that grow really fast and are always long (only now starting to appreciate that!). Now that I'm working as a Social Worker in Training tho, I have started taking my nail polish off if it starts looking bad. I try look like I've made an effort everyday to respect the people I'm working with, and of course try to show that I really want to be there.  

Recently I've really started admiring the nail designs I see around. I've watched some tutorials and they seem quite easy to make even tho they do look really hard. Most of them are just made my putting a paper to make a straight line or sellotaping the are you don't want nail polish on. I'm going to attach some pictures here of some really nice nail designs I found. I especially love the black matte and shiny black nail polish combination. I quite like black and gold together as well. I don't want my nails to stand out too much and in general don't like bright nail polishes so I'd go for darker colors and designs that don't stand out too much. I'm definitely going to try out some of these in the coming days and hope to get okay good at this. There are really good tutorials for these on youtube that are really easy to make, so if you get interested just find some on youtube and learn! That's what I will do!

I wish I wore dresses more

I love wearing dresses and summer is a great excuse to wear them. The thing is, I kinda feel overdressed going out on a normal day wearing a dress. I know a lot of people wear dresses and all that but I can't help feeling awkward. Either way, I have started changing myself!! I have a few friends who wear dresses all the time so I wore dresses when I was with them. After that I didn't feel that awkward anymore. I actually felt really pretty wearing a dress and it was so comfortable and chill. After that I've tried my best to wear more dresses outside since I do own quite a few dresses. So yes, I am actually starting to wear more dresses and winning that feeling of awkwardness! 

I wish I had more patience when it comes to my hair.

I have very easy hair - It's straight and brunette. I never do anything to it except brush it in the mornings. Now here comes the part that I wish I did something to it! I have learned how to make a fishtail braid (I wrote a post about wishing I'd know how to make one) and actually took my time to make a side fishtail braid today and my hair looks sooo nice! I automatically like my appearance more when I bother do something to my hair so I have decided to start doing something to it! I have ordered extensions from Luxy hair - amazing ones, had them before!, and thought I could go get some hair accessories so I can do something with it when I have it on soon! 

So yeah, I went shopping to Primark and got a black plastic bow which is so not me but thought I'd give it a shot (in the photo below). I also got a small hair clip with a butterfly on it, much like the one in the photo but mine is just a butterfly with diamonds on it. When I have my extensions on I like to clip a tiny bunch of hair at the back and leave the rest of my hair open. So I'm very happy with that buy! Then the last thing I got was a metallic black hair cuff thing. The one in the photo I own already in Gold and Metal and love them! They are so easy to use and make you look like you've actually made an effort with your hair! But the one I got now is elastic all around and has little metal triangles or something. Hard to explain but it is quite classy. All this I got for about 4 pounds or something! 

So yes, I will try my very best to actually start doing something with my hair from now on so I'd look better and feel better about myself. Super excited to get my extensions as well!!! 

I wish I'll have a Bengal cat someday!

I know for sure that I will own a cat someday when I get a permanent home, I love cats! I've never really cared that much for different breeds but Bengal cats??? They are to die for! They are so pretty and their personality is so playful and energetic. The only thing is they are super expensive! At least in Finland they are. I went on gumtree and there was an ad for 3 Bengal cats free to a new home but of course I cant make a commitment like that right now because I'm a student. Otherwise I would have gone for it. Oh well, some day I will buy a little Bengal kitten and I will love her! Can't wait! <3

 

I wish I had a garden to decorate with giant colored ice marbles :D

I saw a photo of colored ice balls in snow a while back and loved the idea. Especially in Finland where I am from, different colored ice balls in snow would look amazing! They are also really simple to make apparently. Just fill balloons with food coloring and water and let them freeze. Since its so cold here as well, I wouldn't even need to put them in a freezer, I could just put them outside and they would freeze. I think they look beautiful! I think I might actually make those still to make my parents house porch look really pretty :) 

Happy New Years!
