Day 4: OPI Color So Hot It Berns

Hey everyone!

Sorry my post today is a little bit later than usual! It has been a whirl wind, slightly suck fest-y, kind of a day.. Up until now, that is!

I stayed up too late last night to make up my blog post for the morning (we are working our way through the first season of American Horror Story.. Does anyone that reads this blog watch that show?! SO GOOD!!!) - so I decided to snag all the sleep I could, wake up, take photos, and write a blog post all before work. Absolutely no problem there! I woke up feeling well rested for having less than 5 hours of sleep. Was ready within 10 minutes - leaving myself 20 minutes to take the photos and write the post!

15 mins and change left to write up the post.. My computer had restarted itself in the night. Lately, when my sweet baby computer restarts, it goes to a boot screen and my nightmare. I kept trying to restart in to safe mode to run a file check so that maybe by the time I was home from work, my love would be up and running again. What did I see instead: the blue screen of death. Whomp whomp!

Thankfully one of my mom's awesome friends gave us the name of her "computer guy" - my mom contacted him while I was at work - when I got home, we took the computer to him - he ran diagnostics - found out my hard drive is dying.. get a new hard drive - and he will get back to me once everything is up and running again. He says I shouldn't lose anything. FINGERS. CROSSED!

Sorry for the novel beginning.. My day was a nightmare that is now starting to not be SO bad! But my post is 12 hours later than I wanted it to be. Oh well, such is life!!



Ohh boy  - a treat (sort of!) usually you just get photos of my left hand as it usually turns out looking better.. heavy on the usually - this time I really felt that my right hand looked better! Top is my left hand, bottom is the right. Now, this isn't very good ikat activity, but I tried!

The red base, which is my new favourite red, is OPI Color So Hot It Berns, the white is China Glaze White on White, grey is Orly Mirror Mirror, and the black is Orly Liquid Vinyl.

Of course, on MY COMPUTER which is currently knocking at death's door (though it isn't going to be answered), I had all the links I wanted to share about the mani inspiration - I did some looking.. Ok, the youtube video link is THIS, and the photo link is THIS. Look at all the work I go through for all of you amazing people (:

I had many comments on this - mostly compliments, though one person told me they remind her of Dead Pool and that they are scary. I take that as a compliment as well, so, all compliments!!

That is all for today. I hope I will have my sweet baby back tomorrow and that I will get my schedule back on track.. Or close to it! Hope you enjoyed day 4 - see you back for day 5!!

P.S - remember to scope out Silver's blog to see what she used for day 4!!

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!
