Happy 4th of July from Canada!


Hi Guys!

Happy 4th of July to all my American lovelies!!  I am not American, however the boyfriend is, he is from Nebraska in case anyone was curious, so I thought it would be fun to do an Independence Day mani for him, and of course I had to share with all of you!

I am a bit ridiculously proud of how this came out, mostly cause I free handed the cupcake, and if you have been around here a while you know that I am not the best at freehand, so when it comes out successful I get a bit over excited.

To get this look I started with a base of Essie Butler Please on my pointer. OPI Big Apple Red on my middle and pinky fingers, and Cult Nails Tempest on my thumb (not shown) and ring finger. Once that was dry, I took OPI Big Apple Red and painted the tip of my ring finger and thumb, while that was drying, I took a few different sized dotting tools, and using a mix of all 3 polishes, did the descending dots on my pointer, middle and ring finger.  Once my thumb and ring finger were mostly dry to the touch, I took a stripping polish and painted on the white stripes over the red tip, then with a dotting tool I did the top of the cupcake in Essie Butler Please, I also dabbed on 1 coat of Laquerlicious At The Lake over Butler Please to add a bit of sparkle. The red dot on the top of the cupcake is done in Big Apple Red. I then top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top and my super cute 4th of July mani was done! 

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today. I really hope you all like my 4th of July nails! Even though it isn't a holiday here in Canadaland I really hope everyone who does celebrate the holiday has a great one! Till next time kittens! < 3

Glam Polish: Pixie Hollow Collection in a Skittles Mani



Hiya guys!

 A little while back, I picked up some of the polishes in the Glam Polish Pixie Hollow Collection. I am really in love with these polishes, more so then when I had only seen swatches online. I think one of the best things, is when you have super high expectations for a polish, and then when you finally get your hands on it, it not only meets them, it surpasses them. Well, every one of these polishes from the pixie hollow collection so far, has done that for me!

The bright colours in this mani, just makes me smile, every time I look at my nails! I am really big on colour, so these polishes almost feel like they were made for me! The silver shimmer in them, is just the icing on the cake, of  bright neon awesome!  The colours I used were, Silvermist (blue) Fawn (orange) Sweet Pea (pink) and Tinkerbell (green) and, I used dotting tools for the flowers on my accent finger, and thumb (which is not shown) and placed neon studs from Born Pretty Store in coordinating colours on all the other nails. Then I topped it off with HK Girl Top Coat, and voila! I was done! 

These all went on amazingly well, They are a tad thick, but nothing that isn't easy to work with, and with the heavy silver shimmer it is to be expected. They had a good dry time, and in all the pictures, it was 2 coats.  

I really adore how fun and bright and summery this look is, It may not be summer here yet, but it is coming, and polishes like these get me super excited for it! Alright, I think that is it for today guys and gals, I really hope everyone is having a great Friday, and I hope you all have an awesome weekend! Mine is filled with relaxing and movies and general lazy bum like behavior, since I am so ready for some down time, after the crazy few weeks I have had.  Till next time Kittens! < 3

Dotticure: Essie - Butler Please with Zoya - Pippa.

Evening Guys!

I have a few things to cover in this post, so it will be a bit picture heavy. I will keep the words short tonight because of that. First, I wanted to say Happy September!! I have been anxiously awaiting fall, not only for fall colours, although being able to pull out some darker and vampier shades is  nice too, but also because I miss some of my favourite fall foods, like stew...you just can't eat stew in the summer!!


For my first fall post, I decided on a gorgeous cobalt blue, with some bright cheery yellow dots down my nail in a line. I used Essie's Butler Please, for the base, and Zoya - Pippa for the dots. I have had the Essie polish in my collection for a while now, but it had been sitting in my untrieds. I really, really love how this turned out. It was simple, but bright and fun at the same time.









I might have a new fall fav blue!!




So there you have it! I am not sure why some of the images, almost looked like the polish was dull, let me assure you, that blue is anything but dull. Perhaps my camera didn't like the brightness!?? Not sure..Some even almost look almost marked, but again that was not there, in person. I am still working on my nail picture  skills, so bear with me. I will get it eventually...I hope!? :P

 The formula on Butler Please was a bit finicky to work with, but nothing nightmarish, like I was fearing, after reading some reviews on other blogs. Which is good, cause I fell in love with this blue the second it went on my hands and will certainly be using this polish again. Overall, this is perfect if you want something adorable, but don't have a lot of free time on your hands. 

Okay, now onto the second part of my post. This has nothing at all, to do with nails. I just wanted to share it with you guys. I had a somewhat, stressful, crummy few days this week, and the boyfriend, being the amazing, wonderful, awesome guy that he is, sent me flowers! Sunflowers to be exact. Since sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers. I couldn't help snapping a few pictures of them with my good camera when this awesome surprise showed up on my doorstep, and of course sharing it with all of you.





Best boyfriend ever award!??

I am not even sure what these are!?? They are really pretty though...

Snap Dragons!

The whole bouquet.




Aren't they just gorgeous!! Every time I walk into my living room, I smile like a huge goofball at them. They really made my whole week better. He is simply amazing, and always knows how to cheer me up.

Well, I think that covers everything I wanted to share, and sorry for the flower spam. I just couldn't not share those gorgeous flowers with you. Till next time Kittens!
