Who Can It Be Now?

I think I have decided that my 'titles' can be whatever tune I am listening to while posting. Who doesn't love the 80s? And Men At Work for that matter. ANYWAYS!

I haven't been painting my nails toooo much lately.. Mostly because the shifts I have been taking at work have been as the dishwasher (do not get me wrong, loooove it!) after tomorrow evening I will probably "treat" myself by designing them to be nice again. I have managing shifts for the next week and a half? SOLID!

This was a cover up.. I tried to do this one design, but the colours didn't contrast enough.. So I covered the steely-purple colour with 'OMG' and added some black stripes. Nothing fun or exciting, just something to make it through a shift.. that turned into dishwashing anyways. Meh!
Oh, and this make-up forums I belong to is having a nail competition with the theme being 'Secret Garden', so this is my entry..

It would be nice to win. We shall see though.. Whelp, that is about it. I should probably go pass out.. I am exhausted and still have three days of work left. Bleh!!

I like your coverup! I can never make it thru three days and I'm not doing the dishwork that you are. I do wash my hands constantly and I'm always washing something in the sink. Your entry for the Secret Garden is really pretty. It's such a delicate look with the butterfly on the flower. Very poetic looking. Good luck.

Thankies about the cover up action and the entry. It would be nice to win, but there are some awesome entries - tough competition!!

I am also all about hand washing.. Seriously though, use Sally Henson's Hard As Nails as a top coat, that stuff is boss as top coat!! (I find anyways)

Canada Day - Saran Wrap Style

I had said the other day that I would be using the Saran Wrap method again soon.. And I really did mean soon. I figure it was the perfect way to celebrate Canada Day (nail-wise) without over-doing it.. I mean, I'm fairly patriotic as a rule, but sometimes sporting a Maple Leaf on my fingers isn't exactly my style.. ANYways.. See? The love is there with the red and white.. I know I said the next time I did the saran wrap method, I was going to try with three colours.. But, I think I will maybe leave that experiment for tomorrow - today is only about these two colours! So.. How I get to this? Well, allow me to show you. Start off with the colours of your choice - one as the base, and one as your.. distress-er? And some saran/cling wrap. I take two pieces and ball them up.. You could use more or less.. But I figure two hands, two, er, balls. Yikes. After your base has COMPLETELY DRIED (you can do these a couple of hours in advance, the night before, or even use some

Day 27: The Hungry Asian Cookies (and) Cream

Hey everyone! I decided that for today and tomorrow (my last day - eeek!) that I would choose two polish that mean something to me. Today I am going to be sharing Cookies & Cream made by the awesome Kae aka The Hungry Asian. When I first started blogging, I immediately started following her. She is the reason behind many of my polish purchases.. heh. She started "frakening" polish awhile back.. and I had a HUGE lemming for Cookies & Cream - but, at the time, she wasn't shipping to Canada. Then, when she started to ship to Canada, I would always miss the restock times.. Then I just sort of.. forgot about it. Then, a little while back, while stumbling through all the amazing gems on etsy.. I saw a photo.. I didn't need to see the seller or the name.. I knew. It was ordered almost immediately. And it has sat.. until now. It still makes me heart smile. And now that it is mine? Constant smiling heart! I decided to not use undies on this. It is

Terrazzo Inspired Nails

 Hey everyone! Will speed-race past a whole 'sorry I have been away' write-up and just go straight to the goods. I apologize in advance for my VERY dry cuticles (I cleaned up as much as I could in edit mode.. but, still bad) - I have been applying oil and lotions multiple times per day for.. weeks.. and.. no beneficial results, sadly. I went with terrazzo print inspired nails for this go-round. I started with a base coat, then OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI, then, using the brush for the each nail polish, I went in with: OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops, OPI Sailing & Nail-ing, OPI Amazon...Amazoff, China Glaze Liquid Leather, China Glaze Sweet Hook, Essie Chinchilly, Color Club Je Ne Sasi Quoi, and Sally Hansen White On - then finally topped with Seche Vite. I am hoping to slowly creep back into regularly posting new content here - so, stay tuned!
