Personal Accents - Shimmering

Hey guys,

You know sometimes you get what you pay for, a couple weeks ago I ordered a bunch of iphone cords for my new iphone 5S off of Beyond The Rack, well about half of them work.... and even then they don't exactly work always the way I want them to. I'm pretty annoyed I really didn't want to have to order a bunch of $40 cords.

So I didn't know Amway sold nail polish until I googled this brand that my best friend had given to me.
I was actually really impressed with the formula and colour, this was almost a one coater.
This was 2 coats.

Rainbow Honey - Cranberry Sangria

Hey guys,

Anyone else happy this week is almost over? This week has been dragging and I totally blame the fact that my cubicle mate is on vacation, I had gotten used to being by myself in the cubicles last year but for the past few months I've gotten used to having a buddy. I'll admit it, I miss her.

This beauty came in my Christmas/B-day package from my NPBFF (which I haven't forgotten HER birthday just throwing that out there) This is a gorgeous red shimmer with blue/purple flecks in it. So pretty.
This was 2 coats, usual Rainbow Honey opaque formula - fantastic.

Nails Inc. - Trafalgar Crescent

Hey guys,

So I think I'm with everyone else when I say I'm sick of this cold. I blame the quick warm streak we had last week. Seriously, most of the snow on the roads and sidewalks melted and then today it goes and snows. Ugh so annoying.

I picked up this polish at Sephora on New Years Eve and I'm so happy I did, check how gorgeous this is. It's a duochrome, shimmer base chock full of different silver glitters. They hit the nail on the head calling this type of polish Galaxy. Because it totally looks like a lazy man's version of Galaxy nails.
This is one coat over black.

Enchanted Polish - Hey Jude

Hey guys,

Right now I'm watching a show about this lady who writes Stargate Atlantis fanfiction who gets to go meet her hero at a convention.... totally nerdy, but totally adorable.

This is a gorgeous duochrome scatter holo polish from the Beatles collection.
It's an emerald green/olive green duochrome. It's not as intense of a duochrome as some of the other polishes in this collection but it was gorgeous none-the-less. This was one coat over black.

Spellbound Nails - Leave The Brakes On

Hey guys,

So I love discovering new fantastic indies, there are so many out there and every once in a while I find an amazing one who ships to Canada (seriously nothing is quite as sad as filling up your cart and getting to check out and realizing they don't ship to Canada) While I was buzzing around on the internet after watching the Doctor Who 50th anniversary I discovered an indie seller on Storenvy who had made a special blue holo in honor of the 50th anniversary. So of course the moment I saw Ships to Canada, I ordered it. Done and done.

Well my first bottle got lost in the mail so I contacted the polish maker Ashley, and she sent a new one my way without hesitation, talk about amazing customer service. Well when this puppy finally arrived I was elated, it was better than I could have imagined, what a fantastic blue holo. The formula was great! This was two coats.
I'm on my way over to her store CLICK HERE to order more. Seriously, do your self a favour and follow me over there. Give the lady your business!

Disney Castle Manicure

Hey guys,

I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend! I'm spending today catching up on movies Greyston Holt (aka my dream hubby) has been in, dang he is a cutie.

So a couple days back I promised you guys my Disney inspired manicure I wore to California and Disneyland, this was inspired by something I saw on Buzzfeed by an instagrammer @cutepolish and decided it was perfect for my trip. I should have done the gradient on my ring finger too but I was worried it would build up too much and then not last, but it wound up looking pretty funky on that finger.
I used OPI - Don't Touch My Tutu!
Julep - Portia
OPI - Last Friday Night

Illamasqua - Raindrops

Hey guys,

So wouldn't you think that trying not to insult someone on a first date would be common sense. Sheesh apparently not. Dating has got to be one of the worst things ever, anyone agree?

So today I have a SQUASHED LEMMING to show you guys, I don't know why squashed lemming makes me laugh but it really does. This is a dove grey with white glitter flecks. The Infamous Illamasqua Raindrops. A wonderfully squashed lemming. This is two coats.

Julep - Dakota

Hey guys,

Dang! Another day that got skipped! Sorry guys. I had a hot date with my friend Cindy and once again the night got away from me. I figure I pretty much post every day so a couple days missed here and there could be a heck of a lot worse. 

This is a bronzey peach frost. I'm actually surprised. This doesn't make my skintone look like I have a disease. 
This was two coats.

Beautifully Disney - Wish Come True

Hey guys,

So while I was in Palm Springs we took a detour to Disneyland, I've never been to Disneyland before so this was a huge treat for me. While I was there I noticed their beauty line Beautifully Disney. They had four polishes from their current collection "Fantasy In Flight" which are inspired by Tinkerbell and the Blue Fairy. I picked up all four polishes. One day Nicole and I spent a good chunk of the afternoon out by the pool, I did my nails in the shade and listened to the Nerdist podcast like the albino I am, while Nicole sat in the sun watching Suits on her ipad.

This is a sky blue holo polish with larger chunks of holo flakes in it.
This was two coats.

 Below is proof I was actually in a warm climate hanging by the pool

Sally Hansen - Grape Shifter

Hey guys,

So I don't know if anyone has seen the new Bitten show on Space yet, if you are a fan of Kelley Armstrong's books you will either love or hate it. I love the books and have fallen madly in love with the series. I don't agree with all the casting choices: namely Clay & Jeremy, but after two episodes I have watched more than once I have embraced Greyston Holt as Clay because he is ADORABLE. I'm still not sure of Jeremy though, I spent all day reading Bitten for the umpteenth time. I swear that book is the most tattered in my collection which is saying something because I tend to be anal about the condition of my books. 

Anyways today's polish seemed fitting because of the whole "Grape Shifter" pun.... werewolves are shape shifters of a sort. Okay sorry I shouldn't have had to explain that.
I picked this pretty puppy (okay sorry enough with the wolf stuff I'm done) up in Palm Springs mostly cause it was so super sparkly and shiny. This is full of teal micro shimmer, and small purple glitter and larger silver holo glitters. This is one coat over AE-Guinevere

Julep - Kristy

Hey guys,

So today I went curling for a work tournament fundraiser, that was fun. then when I got home I decided it would be a really good idea to chip all the ice off the driveway or at least a small portion of the ice off the driveway so I probably won't be able to move all tomorrow because right now I'm having a hard time even typing. Right now I'm actually voice texting on my phone. 

This is a fantastic midnight blue polish that actually looks pretty black, this was two coats for evenness.
