Nail It!

With school coming to a close, the only thing that seems to be on my mind is SUMMER.
Shopping, getting my hair done, no longer being on nail lockdown (no painted nails in school), and of course adding some new ensembles to the overused and abused closet of mine.

My dad having travelled to Amsterdam this past week, was able to get me a couple magazines for me and this month, the one that caught my eye was Nylon. I loved the Insta Obsession, it got me browsing the likes of @yostazyo @elarica and others. This issue actually got me thinking about my nails and what I'd do with them this summer.

Year after year I carry the same boring long mundane nails to the States until my Grandma takes my sister's and I to get them done, this year (thanks to Nylon) I have some ideas on what to do with my nails.

I checked out @jennahipp and @naominailsnyc on instagram and fell in love, and couldn't help but share some of the amazing insta photos.

Sunday

Sunday was amazing.. The day couldn't have gotten better. After church my dad treated my cousins, siblings and I to ice cream from Ice Cream Factory (although I ended up getting a vegetarian panini).

My dad was definitely done after that, so he took my brother home and the rest of us headed to LPM (Le Petite Marche) with nothing but church pamphlets in our pockets. Le Petite Marche is much like a farmers market in the sense that there are many vendors selling an array of fashionable clothes, bags, accessories and so forth, all for an amazing price. My cousin, Funlola being the lucky one got a couple of dresses while Hannah and I posed for Bella Naija photographers and greeted Modé. The Bella Naija photographers were taking pictures of the items being sold and the people that walked the marble floors in the most stylish of outfits. With Funlola trying on numerous things, Hannah and I got an eyeful of stylish men and women before we departed at 4.

We ended the amazing day with a trip  to Apples & Oranges! We all got our nails done, me sporting the monochrome trend with my black crackled nails with a white base. Having tried the crackle nail polish effect before, I thought this time would be a total fail but it turned out looking better than ever
