Purple Plaid

hi!
Today I have a Studio M polish called Frenzy. I'm not sure where these are available, but definitely in the US, I've never seen them in Canada though! This purple is darker than OPI Do you Lilac It and lighter than China Glaze Grape Pop. It's probably similar to OPI A Grape Fit, which I don't have so I can't compare!

I then used my konad plate m60 and used the plaid pattern with Nicole by OPI Positive Energy. It was my first time using this design, and to get straight lines it was pretty tricky! I for sure need to practise!

The pictures with the stamping are NOT colour accurate, but the pictures without the stamping are pretty close to accurate! I don't know why, but when I stamped it looks more blue and is coming out wayy more blue on camera than in person! Oh well, you get the idea! :)

Hope you all had a fabulous long weekend those of you in Canada or USA!

Don't forget to enter my giveaway, it closes on Sunday and the winner will be chosen on Monday and polishes sent out in about a week! :)

Thanks for reading!

may showers bring june flowers?

HI! sorry AGAIN for the lack of posts. THANK YOU to all of my new subscribers, I hope that you enjoy my blog (not just for my giveaway which I will talk about later!)
Today I have OPI Purple with a Purpose with Bundle Monster plate bm224 stamped with Konad Special White polish. Very summery!


Excuse my horrible cuticles, I'm working on it!

As for my giveaway, I will be extending the date, as Canada Post is still on strike and I want to wait until all the mail is running smoothly again! I think I will extend it at least two weeks that way some more people can have a chance to enter :)

What are your favourite purple polishes?

Thanks for reading! :)

I'm Mod About You!

Hi! Sorry I have been MIA with the nails for a while, but I just started a new job last week, and I would be so tired everyday so I kept the same nails for a week!
So what I wore to work was OPI's Mod About You, with one of the new bundle monster plates (BM-221) stamped with white Konad Special Polish . Btw, I think OPI Mod About You, is my favourite polish!





Lemme know what you guys think!
And I'm really thinking hard of what to do for a giveaway, It will definately be smaller than my last one, but I will try to think of something good! Any ideas?

Thanks for reading!

hump day konad

Hi! Welcome to my new subscribers!! Today I have one of my only Zoya polishes (I also have Zoya Kelly) this is Zoya Dita. I would say it's a reddish pink colour. And I stamped konad m70 with Nicole by OPI Positive Energy.

Here is Zoya Dita on it's own

Thanks for reading! What do you think?
Happy Hump Day!

I'm going to DC next week, any cool things that we should check out?

Have a great day!

PS: I decided to buy the new bundle monster plates! SO glad that Canadian dollar is strong these days!

neon tiger stripes

Hi!
Today I have a mani inspired by MacBarbie07's video! She's a great youtuber, if you haven't seen her beauty videos, you should go check them out! So I tried to do it how she did it, with the hand drawn stripes, but I'm really not good with that so I decided to do some konading! This is konad plate m67 and China Glaze Heli-Yum, Flip Flop Fantasy, and Pink Voltage with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Top Coat (all pictured below)





What do you think? I will put a better picture up tomorrow with sun!
Thanks for reading :)
Also, check out my blog sale if you haven't already!!

blue konad

UPDATED!
Wow, I'm posting again today! Shows you how much I keep procrastinating..
Here is a I Vant To Be A-Lone Star from the OPI Texas Collection, with blue konad m72




In real life the blue stamping brings out the blue in the OPI polish, but without the stamping it looks more gray!

Sorry for the bad lighting but you get the idea!
I added some new pictures, because today it's sunny so I stuck my hand outside my window!

What do you think?

What are some new collections to look forward to?

don't be a drag, just be a queen

HAHA
Love the new Lady Gaga song! totally stuck in my head :)

So like i mention in my post I have been keeping up with doing my nails so I will post some pictures in the end of some of the konads I have done recently/around Christmas time (I'm sure you can guess which one that is) I realize that they are all blue based! wow hahaha well I have done other ones I guess I just forgot to take pictures of them!
So here are the pictures, I'm sorry I forget exactly which colours I used but that's okay, also the lighting is super bad cuz it's from my phone, I actually haven't used my camera in like months so the battery is probably dead!




So right now I have on OPI You Don't Know Jacques, and I LOVE IT! I know this colour is super old and everyone has it already, but I just joined that bandwagon! so pretty, even on slightly darker skin tones, which is good!

Also, I mentioned how the eBay person sent me the wrong polish, well she said she would send me the right one! So hopefully that comes soon and that's so nice of them! Let me know if you want their eBay name, because they were great!

Alright, well I hope you guys had a nice weekend!
Happy Valentine's Day (although I am very anti-valentine's day) ahha except when I get chocolate! yummy :)

Do you guys have any good websites to buy makeup from?
Thanks :)

Another for audrey konad

I realize now that I have done a konadicure with this polish before, oh well what can I say except that I love this polish so much! We went to lunch to one of our relatives houses yesterday (not exactly sure how they are related to us, but they are!) so I thought I should do something less...flashy. So I decided For Audrey + konad! I used konad plate m57 (my favourite) and did this diagonal design that I've never done before, but it was a hit! (with konad special polish in white)


As most of you have experienced before, some polishes are super hard to capture the exact color, and for me this polish was one of them but I figured that is okay because you guys all have this polish anyways!

What do you think? Do you like For Audrey or no?

Today I bought some polishes - NO NOT FOR ME - for my swaps! Gosh is on sale for 4.99 at Shoppers Drug Mart, so you Canadian Gals should hit that up!

I ordered OPI DS Original which came in the mail today - YAY! (I'm expecting 2 more packages which BETTER get here on by wednesday otherwise they will be staying in this house until I come back for thanksgiving (Canadian thanksgiving is in October for you Americans) so I hope they come soon! One is a swap and one is a blog sale buy both from before my self imposed no buy - don't worry)

We had a high heat and humidity warning here :( so depressing but that's okay that meant I could stay inside and watch the Emmy's that I taped yesterday (don't you just hate those commercials). I laughed so hard, man that intro was so epic - GLEE should have won more though! and of course Lost! But I'm glad for John Lithgow and the Dexter writer/director/not sure what he was !

Did you like the Emmy's ? Man I love tv so much

ps: i'm looking to do a swap with someone from Europe who has access to GOSH Holographic (which we don't have here in Canada) and maybe some other European brands like Catrice and H&M polishes - lemme know if you are interested and we will figure something out!

Nfu-Oh 61 HOLOGRAPHIC!!!

Alright my lovely readers, here I present to you my first Nfu-Oh polish, and NOT MY LAST (I just ordered #65 yesterday a blue holo!) This polish is SO EPIC that it needs it's own post!!!

I wore it for a bit on it's own then I decided to Konad it (since I haven't done a konad post in so long!) I used Konad black special polish and image plate m64 (it was my first time using this design!) and boy oh boy did I get A LOT of compliments at work! (it chipped super bad at the pool though, but that's okay I was expecting that since I didn't put a top coat!)
Thanks for reading! I might post another post later today!

GUESS WHAT ARRIVED IN THE MAIL TODAY??? MAD AS A HATTER + ABSOLUTELY ALICE + OFF WITH HER RED + MY SWAP WITH Karen D from Frazzle and Aniploish

ps: not sure if this is a dumb question, but how do you guys get companies to send you free stuff? like polishes for testing and posting on your blog like OPI and Orly and stuff like that?

OPI Jade is The New Black + mini haul - picture heavy!!!

Hey guys! happy Saturday! Today I have some news before I show you my pictures! I WANT CHANEL PARADOXAL!!! (who doesn't!?) Well, now the hunt is on!!

So I decided to use OPI Jade Is The New Black, which I bought a few months ago. I realized I should probably start showing the polishes I already have! (You will be proud to know that today I went into American Apparel ONLY to buy the polishes for my swap, and I didn't buy any for me! I also only bought ONE polish today - AND IT WAS ON SALE! - I will tell you more about this polish later!)



I then stamped the zebra print from konad m57 with Nicole Positive Energy




Okay so now for some tres mini haul pictures:

yesterday:
Gosh Magic Star, Gosh Flamingo, Nicole by OPI Positive Energy (I think I will use Flamingo as part of my giveaway! COME ON 100 followers!)

Today I bought Nicole by OPI - Nicole... Spotted from the new Gossip Girl Collection. I am so glad I found this! I think this would be a great layering polish and looks oceany wearing it just by itself! It's a thick jelly, but I love the different sparkle colours! I might have to go buy the other ones from this collection.
For you Canadians - well mostly Quebec people I guess! Go to Jean-Coutu rather than Pharmaprix (Shoppers Drug Mart) because it was $7.99 rather than $9.99! For you other people, look around, you might find it cheaper! $2 is a big difference, we have the highest tax rates!

Here it was at Shoppers, $2 more!!

Last night I went to...

MICHAEL BUBLE!!!!!!

Tonight I am going to Rihanna and Ke$ha, about to start my crazy manicure for that! Not sure what to do yet.. something flashy!

Once again, please let me know if you would be interested in swapping! I would either have to do it this week, or wait until September, after I move!

China Glaze Grape Pop has been a lemming (did you know a lemming is a small rodent?) of mine ever since I saw it. When I heard it was the same as funkey dunkey, I decided to choose China Glaze over OPI (It was cheaper!). As many of you have said, Grape Pop is your favourite purple, I must agree!
One of the great things about this polish, besides the application, is the fact that it looks so different in different lights. I tried to capture the different shades, hopefully you see it! Last night I was at a friends house, and it was thundering, and my polish looked almost black like OPI Siberian Nights.

Today I did a konad with m64 and GOSH Gold, it is a very subtle konadicure, but I love it! (On the thumb I used OPI Do You Liliac It? But it was too light for my liking so I switched to the gold). Konading GOSH was actually a lot easier than I was expecting! I'll be using the gold to konad a lot more!


ps: I WON THE MAD AS A HATTER AUCTION! pictures to come later, it's quite a bundle! The seller just needs to figure out how much shipping to Canada will be, and then I will make an official post :)

houndstooth konadicure

this is China Glaze Pink Voltage + Konad plate m63 with konad special polish black

Image from www.konadnail.com

This is probably my favourite pattern from the plates! I love the look!
The colour was a lot brighter in real life and I'm sad that I had to take it off, I couldn't stop looking at it!!!!

I'm stuck at 29 followers, if you post new nail blogs on your blog, be sure to add mine so I can increase my followers!!!

Have a great day!!

ps: I'm going to see Black Eyed Peas on Saturday, any nail art ideas???

for audrey konad

I've been wanting to use this Konad plate for a while now, but I wasn't sure how it would look since it is such a delicate pattern. I was quite pleased with how this turned out! It's very elegant and would work perfectly for a wedding!
So I used the rose design from this plate:
