Although summer is quickly approaching here in Perth Town, I still love to look at all of the wonderful fall and winter items being brought out on our northern hemisphere neighbouring sites, even if it induces an immediate downpour of sweat to see people adorably rugged up online on a 40 degree celcius day. My latest obsession is Gradient Nails. I don’t know if this is what everyone else calls them but that’s how I choose to describe them. Basically it is this new nail painting style where you get the manicurist (or yourself if you are good at doing this sort of thing and like me, buy nail polish in almost the exact same colour but only a few shades difference) to paint each nail in a colour roughly one shade difference than its predecessor, so it’s like, well, a gradient. Just look at the picture okay, you’ll see what I mean.

I also love the idea of different nails in different colours, as seen here:

I know this doesn’t really have anything to do with winter but I think that coffee cup in the last image made me want to snuggle up under a blanket with a big book and some chocolate. It made sense at the time okay? Plus, NAILS!
