GLADvent Calendar Countdown + 600th Post

Hey everyone!

First off, this is my 600th post.. where does the time go?! I feel like I was just writing my first post a few days ago (we will not discuss the amount of years, thanks!)

Thanks for sticking around, or just popping in quick to see a post here and there. Even bigger thanks for following me on instagram or facebook.. or even twitter -- all of those fun links are on the side. (Shameless plug, I am sorry!)

BUT! My 600th post is not why we are here today. No, I am here to discuss my opening of the GLADvent calendar from Cuter Cuticles.

I have this amazing box..


...filled with numbered packets to be opened every day for a period of 24 days - just like an Advent Calendar. Now, I was never too keen on those gems growing up, but this is one I can get behind. Sammy makes some of my favourite nail care items, so this is going to be fun! (I have another advent-type box coming probably this week, we shall discuss that one when it gets here.. it is a combo from another one of my favourite nail care gals.. the excitement is real!)



Sadly, she only made a limited quality of these boxes, and I was lucky to snag one. With that being said, I figured I would share the open-age in case you would be interested in getting one next year.. which, let's be honest, who wouldn't?!

Now, I won't be blogging every day about what I open - but I will be posting it on instagram (you can scope me out HERE).. but, I will post a weekly update on Saturdays - so look out for my first post on December 5th!

Just because you cannot get one of these boxes does not mean you miss out on all of the action! You can visit her store HERE and pick up some amazing goodies anytime.. I mean, I did just place an order on Friday.. so.. there is that. I would highly recommend some cuticles oil and barrier butter. Tres amazing!

All right.. that is it for today, so I will probably see you guys at some point this week. I have basically a small army of nail polish to try for the first time to my right.. with a wealth more on the way. I best get cracking! And if I don't see you through the week, I will have that post for Saturday. That I can promise!

Hope you all had a swell weekend and will have a magical start to your week. See you!

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

Revlon Giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED! WINNERS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!! Yaaaay! I am really excited to do this for all of you! I really appreciate all of you following me and commenting on my posts - it is amazing! So, I figured it was time to give back a bit. Now, this isn't a monster giveaway that I want to do - that will come sometime later. I have it all planned in my mind - BUT - until then, you'll have to put up with this! I picked up 3 polishes from the new Revlon collection the other day and really wanted to grab extras to giveaway, but the store was sold out of one of the colours after I bought it, and so, that thought was quickly squashed. Then, this evening, I ran in to another shop quickly - and they had a whole wealth of them - bingo! Giveaway time! The colours are: Starry Pink, Blue Mosaic & Facets of Fuchsia Supposedly FoF is a DL Bad Romance dupe. Sadly, I do not own that polish (I really, really wish I did) - but this polish is stunning - in fact, they all are! Thi

Countdown to Halloween 2017: Gross Nails

Hey everyone! Not sure what else to call these.. other than gross.. these are the nails I imagine some sadistic swamp-dwelling mother of mutants to have.. yeah, that. I used: China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat OPI Coca-Cola Red China Glaze Cranberry Splash KL Polish Snickerdoodle OPI Suzi - The First Lady of Nails OPI My Vampire Is Buff Orly Liquid Vinyl Sponge Dotting Tool Fake Nails These were rather fun to make.. but dangerous! Who knew breaking up fake nails would make them so sharp! Fun! That is all for today! See you tomorrow!
