Just Checking In

Hi!
Hope you all are doing well, and Happy Father's Day!
Sorry I've been MIA for a while! I haven't done anything blog worthy nails wise, as I usually just do a plain polish, no designs or anything! Right now I'm wearing China Glaze's For Audrey, so nothing special! I'm hoping to start getting back into doing some more konading as I really need to try more of the new bundle monster plates! Maybe tonight!

What is your favourite image from the new bundle monster plates? What should I try next?

Here is a quick shot of Joe Fresh Fig, right before I took it off. Don't forget to enter my Joe Fresh Giveaway, it will end next week (but I might extend this as there are not very many entries so far)

Coral Shatter

Hello lovely readers!
Once again, I'm really sorry for my lack of posts.. Today's excuse = Procrastination! I'm sure most of you know a little something of what procrastination can do to a student.. :) Don't worry my next exam isn't for another week, I think I'm allowed to procrastinate!
So on Saturday I painted my nails with Joe Fresh Coral to put me in a spring mood and make me feel better about studying.. and today they were super chipped so I decided to get a few extra days of life out of them by putting OPI Black Shatter on top!
I'm sure most of you own this by now, I don't even think it's hard to find anymore? I bought mine from Mexico actually ahha but I've starting to see them in Salons around here as well.
Excuse the blurriness..

Let me know what you think! Do you like OPI Shatter? Is China Glaze Crackle good too? I really want to try the Pink or White Crackles (or wait for the White OPI Shatter) because It will be so nice for summer! Whats your favourite colour to put underneath of Shatter/Crackles?

Thanks for reading! :)

dot crazy

Okay so I finally decided to use the dotting tool I had sitting around (I actually have 5 because that's how they were selling them on eBay for like $1!) so I used one and this is what I came up with - multicolored dots!!!!

For this mani I used Sally Hansen Insta- Dri Whirlwind White as a base (after I used OPI natural base coat) and dotted with Joe Fresh Fuchsia, Powder Blue, Coral, China Glaze For Audrey, Four Leaf Clover, OPI Mod About You, and American Apparel Peacock. Topped off with one coat of Seche Vite.

Here is a picture of everything I used:

I'm pretty sure you can figure out which bottle is which!

I love using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri White as my base for things because it dries so fast and it's just a base so I don't have to worry about it being perfect! As for the rest of the colors, they all applied really well, and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be! I just put a dab of polish on a piece of paper and then used the dotting tool!

I got a lot of compliments while wearing this people were like "WOW DID YOU DO THAT YOURSELF?!" they loved the left hand, good thing they didn't see the mess that was my right hand! Man I wish I was ambidextrous!!!

Today we packed up all my winter clothes, and then we will do everything else next week! Hope you guys stick along to experience my journey living in residence!

Have a great day, thanks for reading!!!!!!

Joe Fresh Fuchsia and Powder Blue

So here are swatches from my previous haul, Joe Fresh Fuchsia and Powder Blue, pretty self explanatory! The colors are nice (I love powder blue, and Fuchsia is not super unique but nice). The application was great just as all Joe Fresh polishes are!
These pictures have no top coat




Unfortunately I am not sure how the wear on these are since I have only done swatches but I think I will put on Powder Blue today cuz I love it so much!

haulage + my first swap!

Okay come on guys, FOUR more followers until my giveaway! Don't you want a giveaway?! Guess not!

So today I have for you some one haul from Loblaws, one from eBay, and one swap!

I went to Loblaws to buy Joe Fresh polishes for my giveaway, and of course I had to buy some for me! I also bought a L'oreal Paris polish on sale as well as my first Sally Hansen Xtreme polishes!

Joe Fresh Powder Blue, Buff, Fuchsia, L'oreal Paris Ocean Breeze, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink, Shooting Star

So of course, biggest lemming besides Hidden Treasure and Paradoxal was Mad As A Hatter! So I went searching on eBay and found this AMAZING offer! I bid on it and only paid $36 for Mad As A Hatter, Absolutely Alice, Off With Her Red and two Alice in Wonderland lipglosses (which are not great at all and I will probably throw them out but that's okay) YAY :)

Off With Her Red, Absolutely Alice, Mad As A Hatter

And then last but certainly not least, I did a swap with Karen from Frazzle and Aniploish and it arrived yesterday! It was a great package everything was wrapped so nicely! I got some Mood Struck polishes (my first mood changing polish) a Maybelline polish (my first as well) and my first Claire's polish! I also got China Glaze Flying Dragon which was also a lemming! So thank you SO much to Karen for the awesome swap!!!

joe fresh swatches

so here they are !
the three polishes I purchased were Espresso, Fig, and Coral.

From L to R Fig, Espresso, Coral

This is coral, and the one I was for sure the most excited to try, but it disappointed me because it had a pretty liquidy consistancy which was disappointing! But 3 coats later, it looks pretty nice!

Espresso, I was not sure about because it was my first brown polish, but it's pretty nice, this is 3 coats the application is very thin, but the end sparkley brown result is not bad!

This one had to be my favourite! The application was super easy and the colour is great! This is Fig btw.

So I didn't end up going to American Apparel today, sadly, but I am going to Toronto on Thursday and I plan on buying loads of new nail polish, especially China Glaze because I am in LOVE already and I don't own any! (No sellers that I can find in Montreal!) I bought one online, which will probably come after my trip but that's okay! I am going to get American Apparel polishes though they look so nice! probably next week!

Thanks for reading!
