Extra Large Update + Reader Challenge!

I will try to keep the type-age about day to day life to a minimum.. I have a bunch o'photos to share. Here goes..

Here are the nail decals I made to go towards my Valentine's Day mani, buuuut.. I used them and I love the idea of making your own, but I ended up taking off the look because I absolutely hated it. It was almost 11pm the night before (I had to work at 7:15am) but I needed to have my nails painted.. So..

These gems were born. I am suuuuper sorry I didn't get a better photo of these.. I finished at about 11:30 and went straight to bed. I was quite happy with my hearts (made them with my best pal, the bobby pin!)

These were the nails I sported just before my V-Day mani.. I wanted to try out that whole toothpick deal.. I actually really liked this and could not stop looking at my nails. I love when you do a look that you cannot stop looking at. I will do with different colours and such some other day.. Plus I think I might want a base colour first.. I'm thinking red with the black and white.. We'll see!!

My new children! I have actually had this for over 10 days!!!! and never posted them.. Horrible, I know! I am still trying to think of the perfect look for JITNB and DSP.. But I decided I just HAD to try For Audrey, so here is what happened..

I am a little ticked that I put on my top coat so quickly on my left hand (re: smudging on my thumbnail) but I wanted to return to the living room and watch the rest of the hockey game.. Urgh! Ahh well.. I posted my left and right hand because this is a look where I like the right hand better.. AND! I love For Audrey on black! So excellent! Speaking of For Audrey, I think this polish was overhyped for me. I was sooo pumped to finally get my mitts on it.. And I was thinking when I slapped on this polish that time would stand still.. It didn't. I like Mint Candy Apple more. Ahh well, I am still pumped to have this gem as a part of my collection!!

I did receive a challenge! It was from Tierney and it was to try and do cupcake nails. This is what I came up with.. Is this is sort of close to what you were thinking of, I will totally post a tutorial - let me know! If not, I have one other idea..

Phew! Update complete!!

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

Revlon Giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED! WINNERS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!! Yaaaay! I am really excited to do this for all of you! I really appreciate all of you following me and commenting on my posts - it is amazing! So, I figured it was time to give back a bit. Now, this isn't a monster giveaway that I want to do - that will come sometime later. I have it all planned in my mind - BUT - until then, you'll have to put up with this! I picked up 3 polishes from the new Revlon collection the other day and really wanted to grab extras to giveaway, but the store was sold out of one of the colours after I bought it, and so, that thought was quickly squashed. Then, this evening, I ran in to another shop quickly - and they had a whole wealth of them - bingo! Giveaway time! The colours are: Starry Pink, Blue Mosaic & Facets of Fuchsia Supposedly FoF is a DL Bad Romance dupe. Sadly, I do not own that polish (I really, really wish I did) - but this polish is stunning - in fact, they all are! Thi
