The Summer/May Issue of Levitate Magazine. I had the privilege of covering a page!  

"Nicole Ayilola also known as Nik_gold is one unique 19 year old junior and goal orientated diva at Claflin University in Orangeburg, SC. Born and raised in Queens, New York and is currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia, her major is Digital media with a minor in Business Adminsitration. She loves to read, cook, travel and blog about fashion or poetry. You can visit her blog at www.niksogoldienox.blogspot.com or twitter @nik_gold.


She wants to become a news anchor and eventually establish her own in store/online boutique and mass media production company. For Nik_gold, fashion and journalism are not only a love but a catapult and motivator for her many talents in life."




I was really excited to be featured in a magazine, it's not my first time and most definitely not my last. I won't ever let small goal consume my hopes and dreams and differ me from continuing on my path. I bought about 5 copies so I got to give/sell/market them out!!! 





Even the clouds struggle to cover the sunlight

Cross my Heart



Made this canary yellow nail polish trying to make pastel yellow (bright yellow, & lots of white)... Happy I stayed with this shade, it's brighter,  catches the eye and most importantly makes me happy. I love pink, powder pink, hot pink, different colored designs/patterns, maybe even some coral, red shades, metallics... however I've been dabbling in mint green, the blues, grey, nude, etc. This yellow might stick for a while...




Vogue Italia's ode to plus size models
Beautiful.











oh and taking my mom to Ray's on the River.. DUH. 




Love the blending in of the model and the background. Makes the important stand out and the unimportant blend it.
