Turn That Frankenstein...

...Into A Frankenfine.. I'm sorry. I'm slightly sleep deprived and have random quotes swimming in my mind. I am pretty sure that is from Dodgeball..

I just got back from my travels to my 3 month post-op appointment (I have to travel to another city (Regina), which is about 2.5 hours away..) - AND - All appears to be going quite well for me.

On the way home, the father and I made detours and I got four massive pumpkins! 2 for moi and 2 for the sister. 4 pumpkins weighing in at a grand total of 108 lbs! Insanity! Now I have to figure out what I want to carve.. Or possibly make stencils (my genius favourite friend explained pumpkin stencil making to me the other day.. I would have never guessed!)

Anyways! Enough about my day.. Well, the beginning of my day. I am going to show you all what I am currently sporting. The video tutorial (not by me!) can be found HERE.


I have been getting compliments by everyone. And, they are super easy to do! And.. well, they are quite cute! My sister and I were actually watching 'Hocus Pocus' the other night (when I painted these bad boys) and they actually remind me of Billy from the movie. Moving on..


For this I used: Seche Clear Base Coat, OPI Who The Shrek Are You, CG Liquid Leather, SH Salon All The White Stuff and, of course, Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.

THEN! When I arrived home, I was getting ready to race to my computer and formulate a letter to TD about my order.. I placed it on September 22.. And it is October 12.. It has NEVER taken them longer than a week to arrive to me.. Luckily enough, a mini package was waiting for me! Yay!

Here we have CG: Zombie Zest, Ick-A-Bod-Y & Mummy May I, Orly Halleys Comet, OPI Ski Teal We Drop, and CND: Colour Urban Oasis and Effects Teal Sparkle.

 I am obviously extremely excited about all of them.. But I am particularly excited to try the CND. PLUS! They have colour with the amazing Canadian 'u'. I am really not one for layering, but after the fun I had testing out the Dr. Pepper mani, this seems like a good plan!

I am a bit sad though.. I wish these would have arrived a few days earlier.. I would have swapped out Who The Shrek Are You and used Zombie Zest instead. Ahh well.. Now to use these three Halloween inspired polishes to finish off my Halloween Month themed nails!!

Have a great day everyone!

  • Zara - Yay! Thank you! That took me awhile to get them just *so*
  • shortwidenails - I thought it would take forever to dry, but it actually wasn't too bad. I also thought I would catch them on everything and have to change the mani soon after.. It lasted me a full 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!
