Sticks 'n Stones..

May cause me to go in to perma-happy mode? Oh, that isn't how that how thing goes.. Well, it is now that I have Cover Brand Sticks 'n Stones.

I actually based my use of this amazing polish off to two looks.. One was based off of Thriszha's amazing post from a little while back.. and the other bout of inspiration comes from a gal in my birthday group - Tina; she doesn't have a blog yet, but once she does - look out!!



See.. Thriszha had really vibrant colours.. And Tina used more pastel-ish colours.. So I kind of met them in the middle? I feel like this is actually kind of amazing.

I used a base of Orly White Out, then I did random stripes of colours using: NYC Lexington Yellow (which is a polish I acquired through one of my SnS muses *grin*), OPI What's With The Cattitude?, China Glaze Electric Pineapple, China Glaze Sugar High, and China Glaze Sweet Hook. THEN we have the pièce de résistance, which is Cover Brand Sticks 'n Stones aka my new love. White and black mixed glitter in various shapes and sizes? YUS PLEASE!

I was able to snag a bottle from ninjapolish a little while back.. As a matter of fact.. I was able to snag TWO bottles.. Because.. as I pointed out before.. I'm extremely close to 400.. not that that extra bottle has anything to do with that, or anything.. Wait, what?

Hope you're all having a fantastic day - and I will talk to you all again very soooon!!

Looks awesome. I think I saw Thriszha's mani and liked that a lot already, but yours looks just as great. I like the pastel colors too.

I love the way this looks!!
I really love the coloured base underneath the glitter! From the thumbnail I thought it was a splatter mani but it proved to be much, much cooler (:
Early congrats on 400 followers! (:

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
