Checking Out

By She Wants Revenge. Interesting musician who some say has the same kind of sound as Depeche Mode.


Oh, um, hello! How are all of you? I cannot believe how long I have actually disappeared for. I see my last post was on December 2.. And I am still coming to terms that I haven’t posted anything in a month. That is ridiculous! If I happen to still be in some blog rolls, then thank you for that, and if not I totally understand.

I could try to explain things that were going on, but it basically comes down to me not feeling like actually doing my nails for awhile there. I would slap on a colour and that was it – if I put on any colour at all. I was in that whole zombie-mode that I had talked about once before. Then one afternoon I looked at my nails and saw how boring they were.. Then I realized that I missed doing that little extra.

I am wondering if it is just the Christmas-y time of year that I go through some sort of ‘funk’, who knows. Not to say I didn’t have a great Christmas, I totally did! My favourite Uncle was here, I rekindled a friendship, I hung out with the sibs (playing wii), I bought 2 nail polish (haha.. but seriously.. a replacement ‘Alpine Snow’ and ‘Russian Navy Suede’ – which I love by the way!!)

I was actually watching ‘Julie/Julia’ with my mom and sister on Saturday night, and while she was blogging, I realized that I missed blogging.

I am hopping that I am going to be back and just booming with activity, but we’ll see. Hopefully at least once a week for now!!

I finally charged the battery on my camera and found out I had some photos from two other looks before I took a hiatus. OH! And we also got pet Degus, I will snap some better photos of them and then tell you all about them. They are FANTASTIC!

Ok, on to the photos..








I apologize for all the chip-age. Work (in the past month especially) was a beast to my nails! I have actually noticed my nailpolish chips easier now. My sister has said the same thing about hers, even though we both use top coat. Time to change brands I spose.

I have an order from Trans-Designs being shipped out today, and I basically have my next order already made out.. Will post more about that when it arrives!

OH! Also, I have been looking at Zoya polishes more now, I want to try them out!! Does anyone know of a site that will ship to Canada that also sells Zoya polishes? I think that is about the only way I will get my mitts on them. Guh.

Have a magnificent Monday everyone!!

P.S - I will add this song to my music player a bit later. I hear the wii calling my name!!

Glad to see that your back. I just think it's the weather causing all the problems with nails. My skin is so dry that I have to keep cutting it off around my nails. I don't even go outside so I guess it's the heat. Makes a mess of my sinuses also. I love that first manicure. It's really adorable. I love TransDesign. I have an order coming from them also.

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

Dry Marble Technique

Hey everyone! Yes.. Dry marble technique.. well.. technically I am water marbling, but allowing the polish to "dry" on the water.. then using it as a nail decal. Does that sound confusing? It might. But. I think this will be my next video. It is actually a lot of fun to do. And while I think this first attempt is grand, it could be better. I used: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Sally Hansen Bubblegum Pink Sally Hansen  Babe Blue Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow Water Dotting Tool Bowl Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat I will probably film a video for this within the next week - so I will post up that gem soon. Or, there are probably a wealth online for you to look up in the mean time. Super fun technique without all the hassle of legit water marbling. See you all again soon!

Splatter Floral Nails

Hey everyone! Last night, after I did these nails and when I went to bed - I was quite pleased with my nails. When I woke up this morning, though, I wasn't overly crazy about them. I thought of a few things I could change so that I would really like them.. I am very tempted to take how I want them to look and recreate them before work.. I might just have to do it. Anyways! Really, there is nothing wrong with them.. I just sort of find them.. boring? Ah well! I used: Lime Crime Milky Ways China Glaze White On White OPI My Favourite Ornament China Glaze Highlight Of My Summer China Glaze Sweet Hook OPI Mod About You Formula X For Sephora Infatuated Orly Liquid Vinyl China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat I made the roses with a "main" colour and white, then I did the details with the "main" colour and black mixed together. Again, I don't dislike these bad boys.. I am just not amazed by them! Also.. did you
