This year’s New Year’s Eve nails were a mixture of something old and something new. You might remember my → Space Nails, this time I wanted to create sparkling supernovas on my nails. That’s why I went for the good old Space Nail system and added little rhinestones for that special look. What came out is this great manicure, which just can’t be photographed in all its beauty, but I hope you can at least imagine how amazing this purple-blue-red-and-green (depending on the light, it keeps changing its colors) galaxy sparkles and glitters on my nails…

“Whoa, that’s heavy!” – my first thought when I received the package. This dress is completely covered in sequins, all-over and multi-layered. If I had to guess, I’d say it probably weighs about 4 kg.

When I first saw the dress in a preview from → Felicity Hayward, I knew I’d do anything to put my hands on it. But it wasn’t available yet and so I spent some time waiting until it finally went online – but my size was sold out. For about five days, I updated the page probably every hour (now that I read it, I sound pretty crazy!) until I finally got it late at night. Just to see it available in the ASOS Curve section (and available in all sizes without any problems) on the same day I finally received it. Talk about timing, huh?

Since this dress is already a huge show-stealer, I went for classic black heels and not many accessories. I decided to create a lilac and purple make-up with falsies just to bring in some color and ended up adding even more color (blocking) with my chartreuse-colored clutch. A bit more interesting than just sticking to the common black stuff – you know, everyone can do that, so why not stand out and be special? ;)
