Stylesnails

Hello cookies,

I just realized I've never done a post about nails! If I remember correctly, I got my first manicure about 3 years ago (hmm...now that I come to think of it, I got my drivers license 2 years ago, I went on a motorcycle for the first time, 1 year ago....some might say I'm a late bloomer, but I believe everyone has their own timeline and their own path. It's never too late to do anything :)). Last summer, I got a manicure at a nail bar in Paris and both times I chose a sparkly pink shade!

I own lots of nail polishes (mainly pink, mainly sparkly/shimmery and several neon colors, too) but I forget about their existence! Let's see if I'll remember to paint my nails more often in 2020. Like my friend Alexia (who gets her nails done very regularly) says, pampering yourself and getting pretty nails can put you in a good mood. If you feel the same way, then I'm sure you'll love the online shop I recently discovered, called stylesnails where you'll find unique nail polishes, fake nails, nail decorations and all sorts of equipment and accessories for beautifying your nails, at competitive prices. I browsed through their website and found so many alluring products that caught my eye:

This glittery nail varnish (available in 28 different shades) actually changes color according to the temperature and lighting! I just have to try this product!
Stylesnails offers sooo many holographic shades of nail polish:

Now, I didn't even know glow in the dark nail polish existed! Have I been living under a rock?? 
This nail polish is perfect if you're afraid of the dark or during a blackout haha
Stylesnails selection of fake nails is so vast. You'll literally find all types of false nails, from natural looking to razzle-dazzle styles.
Ladies, let's not neglect our toes..you can even find fake toe nails at stylesnails! 😂 
Check out this neon color:
If you're into nail decorations, stylesnails does not disappoint. I love pineapples so I just had to show you these ($9 for 50 pineapples):

These butterflies are gorgeous. Now, I'd be afraid to move my fingers with these on my nails but for a special occasion...why not? :)

So, do you paint your nails? Are you a fan of nail art?
If you haven't already, make sure to check out stylesnails!

Happy New Year! (and a Special Thank You to Tim Churchill)


Happy New Year everyone! Buon Anno Nuovo!

I had tracheitis for the past couple of months and though it wasn't pleasant, it taught me that we should really treat our body like a temple and that we should never take anything for granted. What really lifted my spirits last month (precisely on Christmas day) was a surprise package from my generous friend and fan, Tim Churchill from Washington. He sent lots of delicious, minty chocolates to my family and this adorable Rudolph chocolate for me! 
So many Christmas treats!
 Tim kindly sent me this intriguing book about Sam Philllips, an American producer who founded Sun Studio and Sun Records and who launched Elvis!!! 
Can't wait to devour this book (it's more than 600 pages long!):
Tim also gave me this AMAZING Elvis car plate...
have you ever seen anything like it? I am still bedazzled! 
Thank you so much Tim, from the bottom of my heart, for all of these precious gifts ❤ Sometimes it seems as if kindness and generosity are rare in this world, so it's such a wonderful feeling to know these virtues aren't extinct!

Here's to a rockin' 2020!
