About a month ago I took part in a spring bazaar to showcase my Cel's Deconails jewelry and decoden creations. It was a fun weekend full of new experiences and meetings with good friends old and new.

We're crafty, we're bitches, we're Crafty Bitches
This past year brought quite a few new experiences and new beginning for me. You might recall that last December I took part in a jewellery exhibition. That set a series of events in motion and somewhere along the way, with some friends who are into crafting as well, we decided to get together and start a team. Thus Crafty Bitches were born.

Experiments, experiments...
Hello everyone ^_^/
in the midst of the Black Friday sale craziness, I am experimenting on new decoden styles. And since it's been a while since my last crafting post, I will show you the results of my experiments today!

May nail inspiration, custom made nail polish bottles
Hello everyone ^_^/
It's May, which means my blog's second birthday is coming up, yay!!! I am already considering a ton of ideas to celebrate, but I will have more information on that in an upcoming blog post.
Today it's time for another nail inspiration post. Lately I have seen an interesting trend popping up in Nail Max. Custom made nail polish bottles. And we are not talking just adding some rhinestones or a sticker, we are talking having your nail polish bottles match your nails. As expected from the very talented and creative Japanese nail artists.

Nail polish Easter eggs
Hello everyone ^_^/
this past weekend was Orthodox Easter. One of our Easter customs is dying eggs. Traditionally eggs are dyed red but in recent years more colours are used. This year was the first time I dyed eggs on my own so I decided to go all out and have a blast in the process. I decided to make nail polish Easter eggs!
Wanna know how I did it? Then read on for the tutorial.

Taking part in a jewellery exhibition for the first time
Hello everyone ^_^/
this is a post I have been meaning to make for a while now. Finally I find the time to write it :)
As you might remember from a while back, in December I took part in a jewellery exhibition for the first time. It was a great experience for me as it was the first time I got to show my work in public.

November in pictures
Hello everyone ^_^/
the final days of the exhibition are approaching fast and my schedule is as hectic as ever but here is a post I have been meaning to make this week (and never found the time). It is another photoblog, for the month of November.
The weather was still lovely so I spent a lot of time playing with B-chan in the garden ^_^
But the nights were chilly enough for a cozy evening by the fireplace.
I tried learning some cooking recipes from my mum, which were quite hard to make. Making fullo pastry for pies and cabbage rolls. I enjoy eating both of course but I fail at making them :o
I worked a lot on my crafts preparing for the exhibition...
But I never neglected my nails ^_^

What I have been up to
Hello everyone ^_^/
As you might remember a few posts back I mentioned I was working on something very exciting.
Today I can finally reveal what it is. I will be taking part in an art exhibition in my hometown, showcasing my jewellery, nail and deco creations!
The exhibition opens on Saturday Dec 10 and will last for a week.
So for the last few weeks I have been working non stop making all sorts of preparations.
Here is a sneak preview of what has been going on over at my work bench lately.
This is so challenging and exciting for me, especially since deco is practically unknown here and this will be the first time it is properly exhibited in my area! So I want to do my best and present everything in the best possible way.
I will make a post about the exhibition with lots of photos and coverage when it is over.
For the time being back to work I go. I hope everyone has a nice evening ^_^

Let's try something different
Hello everyone (^o^)／
I've been thinking for a while now that I wanted to have a bit more variety in my blog (which was my intention when I started, before getting sucked in to the world of nail polish). So since one of my hobbies is photography I decided to start a new feature for this blog, called "last month in pictures". Pretty self-explanatory, right?
So here is Cel's October in pictures.
I did a bit of nail hauling, both for me and for nail swaps.
I walked around town with good friends
And enjoyed the colours of a beautiful sunset.
But I wasn't lazy!
I tidied up my stuff (or at least I tried XD)
And that was how October went by （＾∇＾）
What did you think of this post dear friends? Did you like it or did you find it boring?

Gotta love the bling!
Hello everyone ^_^/
How are you all doing? I hope you are enjoying the last days of August.
I am on vacation in lovely and super hot Tokyo and as my internet access here is weird, I cannot really post and comment as much as I would like. I do apologise for that. I am doing my best though and will catch up for good when I return.
So while here I am indulging in my favourite pastimes, including nails and deco of course. I have stocked up with fabulous new supplies and nail polishes that cannot be found elsewhere. I will have lots of haul photos and swatches to share when I return. I am also preparing a little surprise for you all, so stay tuned.
Until then let me share some deco with you, that I made for one of my dearest friends in the whole world.
First is a lovely hand mirror. She wanted something that would match the colours of her bedroom and have a romantic theme so this is what I did for her ^_^
And also a bling Hello Kitty ring. She said it reminded her of Paris Hilton. Should I be flattered or not? XD
I am going to be adding similar items at my etsy shop soon ^_^
Until next time everyone <3

iPhone deco
Hello everyone ^_^/
Today I want to share one of my projects from last week, iPhone deco.
I did this for my friend, T-chan. As she has a preference for pink, roses and hello kitty, we chose some main pieces first and then decided on a colour scheme. Took me quite some time to finish but she liked the result in the end, yay!
Here she is with the case on her phone.
This was really fun to do, now I want an iPhone too XD
I am planning to post soon some easy to follow deco tutorials for fellow deco lovers so stay tuned *^__^*
