What's on my nails? 13/11/2013

OPI - Designer...de Better! // OPI - Peace & Love & OPI // Sally Hansen Double Duty base and top coat

Peace & Love & OPI is an oil slick kind of colour.

Looks purple in some lights and in others a bright teal.

DIY: Crystal necklace

You'll need:

Metal thread, crystals (with holes in), a chain, pair of scissors, super glue and a.. jewellery.. thing..

How you do it:

Cut chain to desired length

Cut a piece of metal thread, rather cut it too long than too short!

Add chain to the thread

Make a loop around the chain to secure it

Tighten it

Cut off excess thread and put into the crystal and add a drop of super glue. Repeat on the other side!

Final product:

If you're giving this as a present, find a cute box, put some kind of lining in and bam! Looks very pretty and they will be shocked when you say you made it yourself

I love crystal necklaces and it's super easy to make! Christmas is around the corner, it makes an adorable present. And who doesn't love a home made present? It's personal and you spend time doing it! So I hope you can use this little quick DIY. I had fun making it!

Where to get crystals: Ebay, I got mine from this seller. Else markets, craft shops.

Early Christmas shopping

I'm a person who likes to be prepared. And don't worry, I'm only showing the things I got for people who don't even known I have a blog or can get access to it!

Let's start with what I've (well it's from both my brother and me) ordered for my mum.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue 100 ml gift set. Can be found here.

Hedgehog pendant on 18" chain. Can be found here.

When you order online, please order early. Ask or look for the option to return even though Christmas is a bit away, just in case. Because mailing things during December is insane. I KNOW my mum will love these things, so a return will not be needed.

For my grandmother I got:

These adorable tea light houses were a steal from Rema 1000. If you're fast, you can still get them, but in my lokal one they sold out during the first 2 days. The big ones cost 49 kr and the small 39 kr. There's 2 different designs in the big ones and only one design for the small. I would personally love to have these, but my mormor deserve them more than I do!

I also got something for my cousin, my friend Noe (hi baba if you're reading, you'll love what I got your cute arse :i) and Sean, but I don't want to put anything in here because I'm sure at least 2 of them look at my blog!

Now to myself... hihi

Cat make up bag 20 kr, penguin storage box 30 kr (both from Tiger). "Peace, Love and OPI" and "Alpine Snow" 125 kr each, but there's a 3 for 2 offer in Matas at the moment! And then some glittery hair ties arrived today. Can be found here.

I still need to figure out what I'm giving my uncles, aunt, cousins and brother. But good Christmas is still a bit away ;-)

Are you like me, an early shopper? Or are you last minute? Tell me in the comments!

My Favourite Autumn/Winter Polishes

From left: Miss Grey (classic dark grey) // Purple Heart (petrol like) // Nero (pure black)

From left: Navy (dark navy with lighter blue shimmer) // Copper (copper shimmer, kinda looks like autumn leaves)

From left: Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok fine! (dark greyish green) // Devilish (almost black wine red)

From left: Miss Fancy Pants (classic gregie) // Stylenomics (very dark forest green) // Avenue Maintain (parisian blue)

From left: Malaga Wine (deep wine red) // Germani-cure (red-black-orange shimmer) // The World Is Not Enough (blue grey shimmer with green and pink reflects)

From left: Every Month Is Octoberfest (deep purple with orangy red specks) // On Her Majesty's Secret Service (blue base with green, gold and pinkish specks) // Lincoln Park After Park (almost black purple)

I will admit, autumn/winter nail polishes and colours are my favourite. I've always been drawn to dark and deep colours. Especially the almost black colours. And for a bit of extra sassiness, you can always add a glitter top coat!

I did think of including my favourite Christmas/holiday polishes too, but I think I'll wait a bit with that ;-)

Hope you had a safe and fun Halloween!
