We’re at the end of the OMD3 challenge! What a month. I am so proud of myself I managed to keep up. There were a couple of days here and there when I fell behind (and yes, one of them was yesterday) but I caught up and finished on time!

 

I am a perfume girl. I wear it every day even inside the house. I love scents. And, according to my friends, I have a signature one. The perfume mixes well with my body chemistry and they smell as one. When I wear other perfumes everyone knows I am wearing a scent but when I wear my signature it’s like I’m not wearing anything. Ah, I have reached perfume wearing perfection!

Now…what is this holy grail perfume??? Prada Infusion d’Iris.

 

Storytime: I actually first smelled this from an magazine insert. I fell in love and bought it without testing it in-store. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, doesn’t it? Well, it turned out to be the ONE. What a stroke of luck!

 

I decided to push myself for the last day and freehand some flowers. I practiced painting irises but they did not turn out too well so I opted for regular flowers in iris colors. I hope you like it!

It’s been nine days since I last blogged? What?? Wow. I have not been feeling well and haven’t really been in the mood to do any intricate nail art; but, I have some fun new neons to play with (i.e. China Glaze Electric Nights!) so I definitely want to showcase those!

However, the polishes I used for this simple, pretty RA-friendly look are oldies but total lovelies! Since neons are so hot right now be prepared to see a whole slew of them!

This is my first attempt at these easy flowers and I’ve got to say, they turned out a lot better than I thought they would. Until I added the center they looked kind of wonky and top coat really helped them look better. What I like most about this look is the “petals” can be a little messy and imperfect. My favorite type of nail art!

I hope you like it!
