Late Post For The Totally Doable I Have A Life Challenge! Feb 14: Match OOTD

Zoiks.

Hey everyone!

I fell very, very, very behind on blogging. I am extremely sorry for that. This is awkward.

I do plan to finish up posting all of my looks for February. Because I did so bad on February, I am going to skip out on the March challenge - but if there is one for April - I will be ready for it!

How sad is it that all of my photos are edited and ready to be posted up.. I just haven't set aside the time to get a post all typed up. So rough. Usually I procrastinate on the photo readying part. I know, bad me!

So. When I did these nails, I had painted them to match the dress I had planned to wear for Feb. 14. I decided to change my ensemble last minute, and then quickly changed my nails - but at the time - this was the plan.



My dress is from Target - it is that gorgeous blue with floral/bird print on it. So. These were the nails I did to match. I was quite displeased with my floral activity.. but from a distance, they weren't awful.

I used:

  • China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
  • China Glaze Sunday Funday
  • China Glaze With Love
  • China Glaze Lemon Fizz
  • China Glaze Liquid Leather
  • OPI Jade Is The New Black
  • Elevation Polish Tettegouche
  • Dotting Tool
  • Heart Glitter

Yup. I will try to get the rest posted up this week, and then move on to current manis and such. So behind.. !!

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!
