Freckled Nest Creative Review & Matte Galaxy Nails
This week has been a big one- I’ve launched three client projects this week (!!) and have been taking time to reflect on the past year and dream about the one to come. I’ve been filling my notebooks with ideas and plans, calculations and dates, and today Leigh-Ann and I are sitting down to look at how the past year went for us and our business.
We’re going through a Creative Review process to make sure that we learn from 2011 and dream even bigger for 2012. Planning is one of my favourite parts of owning a business, and to have all of today dedicated to dreams & plans is my definition of a perfect day. There’s nothing better than camping out and dedicating a day to possibility, while we listen to our favourite music and order in sushi.
Nails: OPI’s Black Onyx, Deborah Lippmann’s Bad Romance (this is the sparkly one!) & Gosh’s Matt Effect
As a little celebration for our creative review day I gave myself some pretty, new nails, because I’ve been completely obsessed with washi tape manicures lately (why thank you, Pinterest!). They’re half matte black & half “galaxy”- named because of a gorgeous new nail polish I got with all different sizes of purple sparkles. It’s like having my finger tips dipped in a far away galaxy.
Who knows- maybe they’ll inspire me to set expansive goals for next year ;)
WASHI TAPE MANICURE? Can you link a bro? I bought some rolls last week and immediately googled “washi tape manicure” but haven’t been able to find anything, even on Pinterest. I’m thinking the tape isn’t sticky enough to hold onto my nails before I can top coat them. Hmm.
galaxy nails! i really want to learn how to do those myself, but i feel like i’d mess up haha
yours look really great! i might have to try it out
Tell me more about washi tape manicures :) I find one or the other but not both on the internet. I’m glad you are a pumped about owning a business, this is something I hope to achieve. Take Care!
I absolutely adore the glasses. Hair. And nails. Too much cuteness in this post!!
super sexy nails!

I think it is! I got it this year on my day trip down to the US this summer, and I love how vivid & unusual the colour is :)
Wahoo! So glad to hear the week you wanted to be super productive has been! Hope your review is fabulous and inspiring – just like those nails!
You are lovely. Adore the nails!

It will be very exciting to see what 2012 has in store for you, I’m sure. Best of luck in the new year!
