My Birthday Shindig Nails

For my birthday shindig, which was last Saturday.. I already knew what I was wearing clothing-wise, but I wanted something that was sort of matchy.. Because I wanted to use Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday as my accent..

Then Butter London Trout Pout came in to my life. I honestly could not be happier!! It is an amazing colour by an excellent brand. I actually think Butter London is quickly climbing to the top of my favourites list.. Which is great and sad - mostly for my wallet. That weeping you hear - yeah, my wallet.

Though, as most people say: you get what you pay for. Yes, I have to shell out for cash for the Butter London, and I believe I get less in the bottle compared to other brands, but, I love it. The formula is perfection.. I have a few more on the way.. I think my eyes just glazed over.

Enough with that hmmm.. I do apologize.. These photos were taken the day AFTER my shindig.. There was some intense games of quarters going on.. My nails are a little hurting, but you can get the general idea of this simple mani.



I actually HAD to order a few more that I've been wanting lately because the Canadian website recently launched the 'lippy's and I knew I needed the trout pout gloss.. and another polish (or 3.. yikes!)

Take care til next time (:

OH! And.. Happy Friday the 13th! I am going to be spending the evening with my bff.. I'm hoping that means that something awesome will happen to us because of this day.. Here's to hoping, right?!

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

Splatter Floral Nails

Hey everyone! Last night, after I did these nails and when I went to bed - I was quite pleased with my nails. When I woke up this morning, though, I wasn't overly crazy about them. I thought of a few things I could change so that I would really like them.. I am very tempted to take how I want them to look and recreate them before work.. I might just have to do it. Anyways! Really, there is nothing wrong with them.. I just sort of find them.. boring? Ah well! I used: Lime Crime Milky Ways China Glaze White On White OPI My Favourite Ornament China Glaze Highlight Of My Summer China Glaze Sweet Hook OPI Mod About You Formula X For Sephora Infatuated Orly Liquid Vinyl China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat I made the roses with a "main" colour and white, then I did the details with the "main" colour and black mixed together. Again, I don't dislike these bad boys.. I am just not amazed by them! Also.. did you
