Absence

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to get in a quick post explaining why I have not been posting too much lately.

It isn't because I don't want to be. Honestly, I would much rather be doing my nails everyday than not. No, the reasons I haven't been updating a couple times a week are: work and being extremely sick.

Now, work happens. Extra shifts happens, etc. Usually no big deal. BUT. With those added shifts, I just decide to skip doing my nails as they get wrecked right away anyways. I think the month of March returns to normal for me though.. Well, near the end of the month it will get crazy, but that is quite a bit away.

I was actually sick not too long ago.. Now I am sick once again. I figured this was just a sinus infection, but now I am thinking it might be something a bit stronger. Ugh. I really do not like going to see a doctor when I am sick as I always feel I would be taking up someone else's time who might be worse off than me. I know it is stupid, especially since I am pretty much in physical agony right now.

Oh well, such is life. If I still feel this miserable by Friday, I will try to make an appointment with my doctor.

I am also house-sitting for a friend right now. I did bring some polish along. I finally received OPI Black Shatter, and have been dying to do the rainbow nail underneath the shatter-y goodness! I am hoping to do my nails by Friday as well. Fingers crossed that I can stop blowing my nose and hacking up a lung long enough to do so.

Phew. Long update. Couch and netflix - here I come!

 I hope everyone is having a great week and is in good health!!

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!
