Californails January Nail Art Challenge: Criss Cross Pattern

A super quick and blue post today to show off my third design in the Californails NailArtJan challenge. Today's inspiration is from a pattern and I've been really practicing drawing straight lines so I've done a criss cross pattern focused on the tips with a pink diamond for some interest.




The blue polish is from Sally Hansen called Teal Steel. I've used it just recently on my Teal Striper Gradient nails. The black lines were drawn using black acrylic paint and a medium sized striper brush. Check out my review on the Bornprettystore liner brushes and the easy nail art designs like this one you can achieve using such brushes.


Stay tuned for the 4th design in this challenge: Pastel Blue

Now just to mention it, don’t try attempting to get quick service on a Friday or Saturday at the MAC store. It’s usually super busy. The MAC makeup artists are always so helpful though but you may require a bit of patience. But patience I had that day which led me to my beloved Melba blush.  I just needed the colour to suit my NC 45 skintone, be a powder blush for simple application and be matte, not shimmery. We did try out Fleur Power first, which is a soft pinky coral colour but I still felt it was a tad too bright. Melba however was a soft, coral peach colour and look really great on me when she applied with h…

Hot Milk Sponge Cake with Fresh Fruit & Coconut

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.
