to become unfashionable

is it ridiculous to spend $75 on canvas sneakers? maybe.

#manicuremonday part #2, accidentally featuring my adorable cousin.

Using two more colors from the China Glaze "Cirque du Soleil" collection (Hanging in the Balance and Running in Circles), I did a glittery gradient look, which is definitely my go-to when I'm blanking on a cool mani for the week. 

In celebration of the NYC subways coming back and gaining an extra hour of sleep this week, I have two #manicuremonday posts for you today!

First, I got the China Glaze "Cirque du Soleil" samples last week, and this topcoat is seriously my favorite new thing. The brand calls it "collage glitter," but it's not sparkly at all, so personally I've been referring to it as a confetti.

i have tons and tons of halloween nail polishes, decals, and wraps to try year and since nyc is celebrating this upcoming weekend, i figure i get a whole week and a half for festive manis.

i swear i'm going to start getting better about posting my manicure mondays on here, but you can always find me on instagram too! @diosmioitskara

i've been testing out massive amounts of beauty products for halloween and (obviously) my favorite part has been all the creepy/awesome nail polish and strips and my favorite part of that favorite part has been these meadham kirchhoff x nail rock wraps.

sort of (okay, totally and completely) freaking out over these awesome new topshop nail strips, especially the sugar skulls.

since i was sososo busy going to shows and writing up fashion week posts for seventeen i didn't actually get to share anything with you all! 

I've been having a sort of uninspiring week, but after an amazing workout this morning, I came home to find a surprise Olympic-themed package from Topshop waiting outside my doorstep!

Maybe it's just because it's the middle of July and I've had enough of the typical summery polish colors, but I can NOT stop obsessing over the OPI Fall/Winter Germany Collection. That gray? That burgundy? That mauve? Oh man.
