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

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!
