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!

Thank you all for the lovely comments you have been leaving me! I'm almost at 100 followers, so today I have to finish buying the polishes and get ready for the giveaway! (it'll be my first giveaway ever, hope it goes well!) Of course this will be open to international readers as well since I hate not being allowed to enter giveaways!

Today I have swatches for the 3 OPI Swiss that I purchased (I know you have seen them many many times, but here is my take on them!) I LOVE ALL OF THEM!

Ski Teal We Drop, Diva Of Geneva, and William Tell Me About OPI

Two pictures of Ski Teal We Drop, great application, love the color!

Diva of Geneva, does this count as red? Oh well I actually like it!
William Tell Me About OPI, Not exactly sure what to call this colour? purpely brown? plum? Anyways whatever it is its great! I thought it looked nice with one coat as well (on the thumb)

All this polishes had great application, and I love the colors! I ordered Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous so I can't wait to try that one!

the end of purple week!

Okay so I get bored really easily, and so of course I'm bored of "purple week" (bad idea in the first place) so here are the rest of my purples!

Louvre Me Louvre Me Not

This purple was a bit difficult to capture the exact colour, but I am sure you guys all already have this color! 2 coats




Next up:
Purple With A Purpose
A must have for purple lovers! Similar to Nicole by OPI Virtuous Violet

Last:
We'll Always Have Paris Suede
I loved the idea of this suede thing because I love matte polishes, but this was a fail. This polish ships really fast since you can't put a top coat on! I suppose you could do a top coat / polish sandwich to make it last?

Okay, that's all of my OPI purples! Hope you liked 'em

I am waiting for so many polishes to come in the mail, I feel like I will need to buy another storage box.. uh oh!

Have a great day!

ps: On Thursday I am going to Ottawa with the fam jam so no posts this weekend!
Please comment !

purple week! day 1

Okay so I decided to swatch all my purple OPI's and write about each of them!
The first one is Do You Lilac It?

application = smooth
coats = 2-3



It's a must have if you like light purple! I'm sure it goes great with my skin tone, but I still like wear it!

Any dupes out there?

What's your favourite purple polish?

Thanks for reading!

I am going to go watch Step-Up 3D! I am excited to have some time to just relax, I feel like I have been going places and working and doing stuff for days straight with no rest!!!

ps: I'm expecting A LOT of polish in the mail in the next few weeks, hopefully it all comes before I move! No more ordering online until I move though, I don't want it sitting here for months until I come back for thanksgiving!

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 :)

oh my GOSH gold!

Today I wanted to show you GOSH Gold! This is one of my new favourite colours. I love the way it looks if you are in the mood for a not super bright flashy colour! It's perfect for that! I'm pretty sure it would look good on all skin tones too. It applied really well, in about 2 coats. And the wear was AMAZING. I put it on last night, and I was in the pool today for 3 hours, and only chipped 3 fingers on one hand, the other hand was flawless! Usually every single finger is chipped with 3 hours in the pool! So that means the wear is super!!!
It is my first gold polish! I'm happy I bought it! Plus it was on sale!

We've had really bad weather for the past few days so it's been hard to get an outside image, but I think you get the idea!!!

Send me an email if you are interested in doing swap and we can try to figure something out!!!

Thanks for reading!

my new favourite polish!

Okay, so I know that this polish is not super new anymore, and that so many people have already written about it, but hey now it's my turn!

When someone would ask what my favourite polish was I would always say OPI No Room For The Blues. Then I decided to order this from Amazon, and BAM! new favourite polish!!!!!!

OGRE-THE-TOP BLUE!!

It's pretty much the same colour as my Blackberry cover thingy, so I had to take a picture!!
The actual colour of Ogre-The-Top Blue is very hard to capture!! I googled it, and it seemed like everybody has a different shade of blue in their pictures. But I love it SO much, I wore it and could not stop staring at my nails!

So of course I couldn't live with just plain blue nails! So.... BAM! China Glaze Fairy Dust!

Indoors

Intentionally blurry! So sparkly!

Outside! (check out my moms flowers in the background!)

I LOVE this polish SO freaking much!! I just took it off this morning, and I actually wore it to the concert (which was amazing btw, picture to follow).

What is your ALL time favourite polish? Just pick one!!!!!!

We should make like a list of MUST-HAVE polishes! This one is on that list FOR SURE (for all you blue lovers out there)

Where is the LOVE?

American Apparel

Okay, so these are probably my new favourite polishes, and I can't wait to get my hands on more of them!! I bought 3 because it was a 3 for $18 deal, (why is it 3 for $15 in the States? our $ is pretty much the same!) Oh well, still it was a good deal! $6 each!
So the ones I bought were Office Gray, Peacock, and Butter! It was my first Gray polish so I'm really excited! I also want to compare Peacock with some of the other colours I have.

Butter

Factory Grey

Peacock

They all had amazing application, and only took about 1-2 coats! Amazing! They dried reasonably fast too which is great!

I was reading some blogs yesterday and I learned to try to avoid putting polish near the cuticles to make removal easier, so next time I think I will try that, and hopefully have a better result. But I think I am improving!

Peacock was my favourite, I didn't want to take it off!!

What is your favourite American Apparel polish? Which ones should I get next?

Thanks for reading!
Happy Saturday! :)

It's my only day off work - back to work tomorrow - so I'm gonna enjoy it!!!!

I almost forgot! Tonight is the Black Eyed Peas Concert!!!!

Essie Resort Collection

HEY!
so the first polishes I tested from my haul were the Essie polishes, they are 3 lovely shades of purple, blue and green, and I am in LOVE with them all!!! I'm not really a fan of doing swatches, probably because I am not super good at them yet!

From L to R Lapis of Luxury, Splash of Grenadine, Mint Candy Apple

This applied very nicely, in about 3-4 coats, it was pretty thin, as you can see on the pinky, I got a bit lazy and did not do enough coats!

The purple is such a nice colour, I can't think of any polishes that I have that could be compared (although my collection is quite limited compared to some of yours!) so if you know any polish that is similar let me know! This one had the best application out of the 3 for me! Excuse the blue polish on the ring finger! :)

This one was my FAVOURITE, that is until I put it on! I wanted to show you how gloppy it was, that is why I didn't fix the first two fingers, I feel like polish shouldn't do that! It should be easy application! Love the colour though! I'm gonna work on fixing this one, I probably should do thinner coats!!

Hope you liked them! Do you have any from this collection? "The Resort Collection"? Which ones are your favourite?

Hope you had a great Tuesday!

Thanks for reading !!!!! :)

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!
