Fairy Dust Swatches Plus Some Extras

Juli (aka shortnails) at Shortwidenails asked me to do some swatching using CG Fairy Dust. Of course I was more than happy to oblige her request.

She asked to see it over OPI Purple With A Purpose, a black (I used CG Liquid Leather) and CG OMG. As an added bonus, I will show it over OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender as that is what I am currently sporting.. I know, no nail art, craziness!! I am lazy and my allergies are killing me!!

For the following photos, the first nails are just with two coats of the base colour and one coat of Fairy Dust, the second nails are two coats of the base colour and two coats of Fairy Dust


So, as you can see, it is a multi-coloured sparkly dust.. And for once my sub-par photo skills are actually a benefit.. I especially love the last photo, unfocused multi-coloured glory at its finest!


Now on to my nails.. The colour is Lucky Lucky Lavender, but seriously, I don't see too much of the lavender-y (aka purple, in my mind) side, I see a stellar barbie pink. Like I seriously want to bust out some barbies and load them into the barbie van.. Too far?

Most the people at work today just loved it.. Oh, and I know you can see some air bubbling, I was in a bit of a rush when applying the polish and Fairy Dust. The residents that usually call my nails 'too wild' thought this was amazing.. Then one of my faves was like 'it is nice, but for you? it is kind of blah..' I told her I adored her.. She gets it! When I first put it on, I hated it against my skintone, I thought the blue tone within the polish made my hands look some weird unhealthy shade of yellow instead of my usually transparent. Now after a few days, it isn't too bad.. My mom really wants to use this combo for her toes now.. Ugh.

And last, but not least, I had to include this photo.. It is just.. Awesome.

So, we had our only male rabbit, Fonze, up on the work bench, and he was wandering around Bennie and Jet's cage.. Which was fine, we had the cage door open, but they weren't really too interested.. Until Fonze just leaped into their cage. He stayed for quite awhile, and to my complete shock, they all got along. Oh, and you may notice their wheel is just mid-air, well, see the platform they are on? There used to be one over there as well. They are chewers to the max. I am looking into wooden slats for their cage. Rascals I tell ya!

Ok, I will silence myself now!! I should probably go take some allergy meds and rest! I hope everyone will have a super weekend - I will catch up on answering comments next entry. See you all next week!

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!
