Abstract Christmas Bows!

Hiya Guys!!


I know it has been a little bit, and I am sorry for that! I have had some RL stuff come up :l Sometimes RL just insists on getting in the way! :P Anyway, Today I want to show off some really adorable Christmas stamping I did with Colors by Llarowe Mj's Jacket, and this Born Pretty Store Plate.

This plate's images are perfect in size, not to small and not to large. I especially love that the images radiate outwards, so no matter your nail bed size, you can achieve the full effect of the image on your nails. This plate retail's for $2.99 and you can also use my code AFLW10 to get 10% of your purchase. Born Pretty Store also offers free international shipping. 

This like all of the Born Pretty Plates, comes wrapped in a blue protective film, that is to be removed before use. The underside of the plate, also has a paper backing to protect you from the sharp edges.  This plate stamped wonderfully as you can see, like all the the Born Pretty plates I have tried. The plate is deeply etched, so I had no trouble picking up the images, and they transferred beautifully  and cleanly onto the nail. I highly recommend this plate if you are looking for something unique and fun in your collection that can be used for all sorts of holidays and everyday looks, since abstract works with almost anything. With such a great price point of only $2.99 it is really hard to pass it up! 

To get this look, I started with a base of Colors By Llarowe Mj's Jacket, which is a gorgeous jewel toned red, packed full of glitters. It is so reflective, it actually reminded me of rubies on my nails. It was fairly opaque too for a jelly packed with glitter! It only took 2 coats to achieve opacity. It also went on super smooth, and dry time was really quick. Once that was dry, I stamped all my fingers with Born Pretty Plate BP-11 in Mundo De Unas Green 08 and Essie No Place Like Chrome (Silver) on all my fingers. I then top coated everything with KBShimmer Clearly on Top and voila! Christmas nails! I had a friend actually mention that they look like Christmas bows, and I thinks she is dead on. They totally remind me of abstract Christmas Bows!

I love that this look was not only festive, but incredibly quick and easy to achieve. I love that it steps outside of the normal Christmas box by being abstract, but it still looks incredibly festive, since the colours and glitz are perfect for this time of year! 

Alright guys and gals I think that covers it for today,. Again, I know that my posting has been sporadic lately, and I want to apologize for that. I was hoping to have things settled back to normal by now, but RL keeps getting in the way of my time! I am hoping to have a few more Christmas looks before the holidays, but with how things have been going I can't make any promises! I am so thankful that you guys are sticking with me, and I really hope you continue to do so. If all else fails, things should return to normal by the new year! I really hope you are all enjoying your December so far, and I really hope you like my take on some Abstract Christmas bows! If you you are interested in purchasing  the Born Pretty Store plate you can do so here and If you do, don't forget to use my code AFLW10 for 10% off all your purchases! Till next time Kittens! <3

Duo-Chrome Galaxy Nails with Cult Nails Nevermore!

Hiya Guys!!



I want to start off, with a bit of an update, I know my blog posts have been a bit sporadic, between that nasty sinus infection and school I haven't had much time left over for even my nails, let alone blogging :l I am  really hoping to get everything back on track soon, so please just bare with me for now!! Know that it is greatly appreciated!! :D

Anyway, onto today's nails!! I actually did these at the end of last week, but I only was able to show off an image on Instagram.. Today I want to show them off here! My galaxy nails!

First things first, I am sure you have noticed that I joined the nub club! I had a pretty nasty break on my middle finger, and instead of a nail repair, I just took the plunge and went for some nubs! I thought I wouldn't like them, I was worried that short nails would look weird on my hands but honestly,. I am kiinda into how cute and adorable they look! 

To get this look, I started with a base of Cult Nails Nevermore, which if I haven't mentioned before is THE perfect one coat black polish. That and Tempest (white by Cult Nails) are my go to black and white polishes. I just love, love, love them! When the black base was dry to the touch, I took out a makeup sponge and tore tiny pieces off of it. I started with Tempest. I used the torn up sponge bits and, dabbed with a SUPER light hand, Tempest on all my nails in random spots. A soft touch is so important here. I honestly can't stress that enough, if you are to heavy handed, you will end up with way to much polish on your nail, less is more! I then did the same thing with OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana except instead of a random pattern on my nails, I tried to put it on the edges of the white. The third colour was OPI Hey Baby, with the pink, I mostly tried to fill out the image, while still keeping a random galaxy look going on. The awesome thing about this is, there is no right or wrong way to do it, and if you find you aren't loving how your galaxy is turning out, just go in with some more colours and fill it out to your liking! When I was satisfied with the galaxy pattern on all my nails I took out piCture pOlish Gravity, which was a limited edition polish and I am not entirely sure if it is still available, but you could use any semi sheer duo-chrome here, as long as it is fairly sheer it should work the exact same!  I simply painted a coat over over all my freshly sponged nails.  At this point you could also add a soft glitter like Fairy Dust by China Glaze, but since Gravity has all those gorgeous holo particles I left well enough alone. At this point I top coated and waited for everything to dry. I then took out plate Bundle Monster BM-610 from the new CYO2014 set, and stamped in Mundo De Unas White. I tried to be as random as possible here, so that each nail would look a bit different. I then took a small nail art brush and using Cult Nails Tempest I added a few more stars and dots where I thought they were needed. I then top coated everything and voila! Galaxy nails!!

Whew! I know that all sounds like a lot, but honestly, it was super simple! The best part about this look is how easy it is, and how random you are encouraged to be! The more random the prettier the end result! I also really love the Duo-chrome look in this, I had never heard of doing that before, but I got the idea, and just had to give it a try! You can't tell much in these pictures, but it really adds a lot of depth to this look!  I can't believe I have never done galaxy nails before, and I know I will be trying this again soon!

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today. This has already been an incredibly wordy post! I really hope you enjoyed my galaxy nails as much as I do! Till next time Kittens! <3

KBShimmer Stonewashed to bring in November!

Heya Guys!!


Happy November! Today I want to show off a gorgeous fall inspired look using a whole slew of gorgeous fall polishes, before we get started though, I just want to touch on the absence around the blog the past few weeks. If you follow me on instagram, then you know that I have been laid up with a nasty sinus infection. :l that has been the suck. So sucky in fact, that I  have mostly had naked nails, since the fumes and a sinus infection do not get along. I am glad to say though, that I am back, and finally starting to feel human again! So there's that...Alright, enough talk, let's get to today's nails!

It has been rather cold here lately, and you can tell winter is just around the corner. I wanted to do some nails that really captured the cooler temperatures, and this was the end result! I at first thought this look might be to busy, but once I got it all on my nails, I fell in love! I even got brave and attempted some freehand (a very little!) and that even turned out pretty good! 

To get this look, I started with a base of piCture pOlish Totes on my pointer and ring finger, a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff on my thumb (not shown) and middle finger, and a base of KBShimmer Stonewashed on my pinky. Once that was dry, I took a makeup sponge and did a gradient, with piCture pOlish Totes, and Zoya Pepper and Louise. I then added some Fairy Dust by China Glaze to add a bit of sparkle. My middle finger was stamped with Pueen Buffet Set 55 in Mundo De Unas Red 9, Geranium 53, and Yellow 11. I added the blue lines using Stonewashed and a nail art brush. I then top coated the whole thing with KBShimmer Clearly on Top and I was done!

If you have been around here a while, you know that fall is not my favourite season, that my heart belongs to summer, however this look, makes me rethink that....almost! :P  I really love the muted rich colours in this look, and it really has me feeling the season!

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today. I hope you all enjoyed my fall inspired nails as much as I did! Is anyone else into the rich fall colours!? Have you done any fall themed nails? Let me know! Till next time Kittens! <3

Rica Polish Whiteout Makes Awesome Ghosts!

Hi Guys!!


I hope everyone had a good weekend! I mulled over doing this contest, and decided that although I might not do all the days, it was totally worth giving it a shot! It looks like a lot of fun, and even though I am starting a bit late, I am pretty excited about giving this a go! So...as you can guess, that is what today's nails are! Day 06: Ghosts!

The contest is fairly straight forward. You do each day's theme, and make sure you use at least 1 Bundle Monster product. The more days you do, the better your chances are at winning! For today's nails,  I had to get a bit creative though, since I don't own the Bundle Monster holiday set of plates, and thus didn't have any ghost images. I am in Canada, so using Bundle Monster polish was out too. After a bit of head scratching and testing some designs in my idea book, I finally came up with splatter nails and ghosts! I really like how this all came together, and I think that it turned out even better then I saw in my head!

To get this look, I started with a base of Rica Polish Whiteout on my middle and ring fingers, and a base of Cult Nails Nevermore on my thumb (not shown) pointer, and pinky fingers. Once that was dry, I took a medium dotting tool, and using Nevermore, made the ghost faces on my middle and ring fingers. I stamped on my pointer and pinky, with Bundle Monster 415 in Rica Polish Whiteout, and then again with the same image over that in Mundo De Unas Orange. I top coated with KBShimmer Clearly On Top and I was done!

I really like that this contest forced me to think outside the box and get creative with my ghost nails, they turned out perfect! I am honestly not sure how many days I will be able to do, but it is a lot of fun so far, and I am already looking forward to tomorrows monsters! Is anyone else doing this contest!? If you aren't you should think about it! The prize is a set of the new CYO 2014 set of BM plates! Anyway, till next time Kittens! <3

Glam Polish Hopelessly Devoted to Summer!

Hi Guys!

Tonight I am showing off Glam Polish Hopelessy Devoted. Which was a LE polish released a few months back as part of the Grease Collection. This colour is stunning, it is bright, almost neon and it has a slight holo and shimmer to it, that makes it just ah-maz-ing! 

Hopelessy Devoted is a gorgeous very pink coral shade. that applies perfect in just 2 easy coats. Colour me in love! Seriously, I am so smitten with this polish, it is ridiculous!

To get this look, I started with a base of Hopelessy Devoted on my thumb (not shown) pointer, and pinky fingers, and a base of Rica Whiteout on my middle and ring fingers. I then sponged on the sunset gradient, using from top to bottom OPI I just Can't Copa-Cabana, OPI Toucan Do It If You Try, OPI Hey Baby, and China Glaze Grape Pop. I then top coated my gradient, and once that was dry, stamped over the gradient with MoYou London Tropical Plate 11 in Cult Nails Nevermore. I then top coated once more, and voild awesome sauce sunset mani! 

I am a big fan of how this turned out, I think everything just goes so well together, I really feel like this is a perfect summer mani! Speaking of summer, I know fall is fast approaching, but I am not sure I am ready to let go of summer yet. At least I still have a bit of summer left to enjoy, and maybe by the time fall actually does show up, I will be ready!?? :P

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today! I really hope you loved my sunset nails as much as I do! Is anyone else still hoping to hang onto summer for as long as you can!? Or are you ready for fall?? Let me know in the comments! Till next time Kittens! <3

Colors By Llarowe: My Own Private Paradise is Totally Chillax.

Heya guys!

Happy Friday! Today I want to show off how I wore, Colors By Llarowe My Own Private Paradise. This is a groegous purple holo polish, that almost leans on the side of neon. I paired it with piCture pOlish Chillax, which is a green/blue mint shade.

As you can see, the holo in My Own Private Paradise is quite strong. It even shows up in my lightbox, which we all know is death to holo rainbows. I love how unique this polish is, not only is it holo and awesome, it is a blue toned purple, with a bit of a neon quality to it, that isn't dulled at all by the holo. It looks amazing both indoors and out in the sun! Chillax is a creamy green/blue mint colour, that is incredibly pretty, and almost applies by itself, I honestly think I have yet to find a piCture pOlish shade I don't love. 

To get this look I started with a base of My Own Private Paradise on my thumb (not shown) pointer, and ring fingers, and a base of Chillax on middle and pinky fingers. Both polishes are 2 easy coats. Once that was dry, I stamped using MoYou London Hipster Plate 07, and stamped in both My Own Private Paradise and Chillax, on the fingers of the opposite colours. I then top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

When I started these nails, I wasn't sure where they were going to end up. I pretty much started polishing, without a plan in place and this was the end result. I love when that works out! :P If you don't own either of these polishes, I would highly recommend adding them to your collection, not only are they gorgeous all on their own, but they both apply amazing, and can be used for stamping.

Alright guys and gals, I think that pretty much covers it for today. I am hoping to get some poolside time in this afternoon, but that will depend on how fast studying goes :l /sigh always something in the way of lounging by the pool! :P Anyway, till next time Kittens! <3

Zoya: Bubbly Collection is a Rainbow of Awesome!

Heya Guys!!

Recently I found the Zoya Bubbly Collection on sale, and just couldn't resist picking it up. I don't normally pick up entire collections, I am more of a pick and choose what appeals to me, but every polish in this collection just looked so pretty, that I could justify owning the entire thing. I wasn't sure which colour to wear first, so after some major indecision,  I settled on all of them!

To get this look, I started with a base of all the colours in the collection, Jesy (orange) , Harper (pink), Alma (yellow) , Staasi (green), Muse (blue), and Binx (purple/pink). Starting at my thumb (not shown) I painted half the nail in a colour, overlapping just a bit, then painting the second colour on the other half of the nail, and again overlapping a bit. I went across on all my nails like this, to form a gradient rainbow across all my fingers.  I did 2 coats across all my nails. Once that was dry, I stamped my middle and ring fingers with Lily Anna Plate 13 in Cult Nails Nevermore, and used ILNP Pi-Ya-No (the black and white glitter) on my remaining nails.  I then top coated with HK Girl and I was done!

 I really adore how this came out, not only was it super easy to do, thanks to the jelly formula of the bubbly collection which allowed me to just use the polish brush for the gradient, but the stamping also allowed me to have a complicated tape mani look, without all the work! I can already see tons of looks with this collection, and honestly can't wait to try them all out. I think Zoya really hit it out of the park with this collection, and if you don't own any or all of them, you certainly should! The awesome jelly formula gives endless possibilities to nail art!

Alright guys and gals I think that covers it for one day! Has anyone else picked this collection up yet? Which one is your favourite!? I thought Muse would be mine, hands down, but Binx really snuck up on me! Till next time Kittens! <3

Picture Polish Totes: Instagram Collab!

Hey Guys!

A Few weeks ago I participated in a really cool collab on instagram, to help celebrate Autumn reaching 10k followers! Basically, a bunch of us got together and recreated some of her previous nail looks.

 In case you are curious, I did a recreation of  this design. I had so much fun being a part of this with all the amazingly talented ladies in this collab, and it was awesome that I could help Autumn celebrate reaching 10k! She is crazy talented, and if you aren't following her then you totally should be!  As a side note, you may notice my images are a bit different than normal, well, we needed a picture with her hand pose ,as well as a couple with our own  poses, since I was on my way out the door to go camping, I only had these images, and by the time I got back, my nails were in no condition to be taking pictures of! :P 

To get this look, I started with a base of OPI Glints of Glinda, sadly, what I had been wearing previously had stained my nails, so I couldn't go bare like Autumn did, so I settled for Glints of Glinda, since it matches my skin tone perfectly, and looks nude on me, especially at 1 coat. Once that was dry, I stamped the leopard print in Picture Polish Totes (sorry! I honestly don't' remember the plate, I think it was a MoYou London Pro Plate, but I am not 100%) I filled in some of the leopard spots using a nail art brush with Models Own Shades (which currently is my favourite neon pink) I then taped off the bottom half of my nail and filled in the top with Models Own Shades. 

I really love how this came out, and I ended up wearing it for my entire camping trip. I am so, so glad I got to be a part of this collab, and really hope to do more of these in the future!

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today! Have any of you done a collab previously? Did you have as much fun as I did? It was my first collab on instagram, and I seriously think I need to seek out more of these! Til next time Kittens! <3

Load Lacquer: Watermelon for Red Coat Tuesday!

Hiya Guys!

It is once again #RedCoatTuesday ! and you all know what that means! Red nails! I used Load Lacquer Watermelon for my red look, and the polish name is what inspired today's nails!

First things first, I know they aren't very PLL as far as sultry goes, but it is summer, and a lot of my looks thus far have leaned toward fall/winter. I really wanted to get some red nails in that were summer appropriate, and when I picked up Loaded Lacquer Watermelon, it was a done deal!

To get this look, I started with a base of Loaded Lacquer Watermelon on my thumb (not shown) pointer, and pinky fingers, and a base of OPI Jade is the New Black on my middle and ring fingers. Once the green fingers were dry to the touch, I got out a make-up sponge and sponged OPI Jade is the New Black, Zoya Josie and Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet onto those nails. I free-handed the tip of my thumb, middle and pinky fingers using Jade is the New Black, and used a white stripping polish to put in the white stripe along the green tip. I used a dotting tool with Cult Nails Nevermore to put in the seeds. I then placed the watermelon fimo pieces using an orange wood stick and some topcoat.

I am really pleased with how these came out. If you have been here a while you know I struggle a bit with freehand, so to be able to see how much my skills have improved in the last year, is just astounding to me, and I can't wait to see the progress another year from now.

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers most of it for today. I hope that you all are having an awesome sauce Tuesday, don't forget to indulge on Pretty Little Liars tonight, and also to check out all the other awesome Red Coat Tuesday looks! Till next time Kittens! <3

Hey Guys!

Today, I have almost an extension of  a post from Friday (Pst..if you haven't entered yet, what are you waiting for!? 200 polishes!!) My pick for the giveaway was Cirque Colors Chrysopoeia. A stunning marigold linear holo polish, that is incredibly unique, among my vast collection., and once I had it on, I couldn't help but add a little art to show it off, which is what I have for you guys today.

Indoors in my lightbox

Outdoors in the sun.

Outdoors in the sun

I really adore how this came out, and the holo in this polish is so strong, that it shows it rainbow awesome off even indoors, under non friendly holo lights! This was one of those looks, that at the beginning I had no idea where it would go, I simply started with the intent to swatch, and then of course, couldn't leave well enough alone, and this was the end result.


 To get this look, I started with my base of Cirque Colors Chrysopoeia. Once that was dry, I stamped with MoYou London Pro Plate 06 in Mundo De Unas Purple #21 on my middle and ring fingers. I then added some studs to my thumb, pointer and pinky fingers, that were purchased from Born Pretty Store. I love how easy this was to create, and how great the pay off is in terms of adorable!

I think it will be a lot of fun, even if a bit dorky, so I am looking forward to it. Anyway, till next time Kittens! <3

#RedCoatTuesday: OPI Congeniality is my Middle Name Sans the Shimmer!?

Heya Guys!

It's Tuesday, and you all know what that means! It is #RedCoatTuesday! This weeks nails feature OPI Congeniality is my Middle Name, from the 2011 Miss Universe Collection.

Before I get into the details of this look, I should mention that, OPI Congeniality is my Middle Name is  a berry polish, with a gorgeous purple shimmer throughout it, and my images, as you may have noticed, is a berry polish, sans a pretty purple shimmer. Here's why: My bottle still has it's shimmer, but it had all sunk to the bottom, thinking that the polish I grabbed was in fact another polish, I didn't notice that I had the wrong polish, since when I grabbed this, it looked like the berry jelly polish I was after.  I proceeded to put it on my nails, and do my nails, and when I was finished, I noticed I had in fact not only grabbed the wrong polish, but that I had not mixed it up at all, so that none of that pretty shimmer ended up on my nails. So, that is why my Congeniality is my Middle Name looks weird. I decided to go ahead and share with you guys, since I can't be the only one to ever have done this, and also because I was going for this look anyway, so even though I used the wrong polish, it turned out exactly as planned! 

To get this look I started with a base of OPI Congeniality is my Middle Name. Once that was dry, I stamped my pointer and ring fingers with MoYou London Bridal Plate 07 in Konad white. I then grabbed some Nail Vinyls and put the white tips on in Cult Nails Tempest. I then top coated everything with KBShimmer Clearly on Top and I was done!

Although this look is more sophisticated then sultry, I think it may be one of my favourites to date of the Red Coat Tuesday series, and after all, aren't our liars pretty sophisticated anyway!? Speaking of the liars, is anyone else super excited for tonight's episode!? I felt like the season had a bit of a meh start, but it is really starting picking up, last weeks ending really had me on the edge of my seat..thinking "what the hell!?..."  so I am pretty stoked about tonight's episode to say the least.

Alright guys and gals, I think that is all for today. I hope everyone is having an awesome sauce Tuesday. Has anyone else had the polish mix up fail I had this week!? I seriously can't be the only one that has done this! :P Anyway, till next time Kittens! <3

Serum No 5: Glowin' of Eden is so Awesome Blossom Together!

Hiya Guys!


Today I have for you a super adorable, spring like mani, using some Serum No5 polishes. These were released in the spring, but I haven't worn them till now, and even if it is a bit out of season, I am still loving these polishes. I used Glowin' Of Eden and Awesome Blossom in today's post.

And of course! the glow shot! 

First, let me start off by saying, I had a little fail with these nails, and at first I wasn't going to share these with you guys, but then I remembered that I want this blog to document it all. The good, the bad, and downright terrible, so posted they were! Now, let me explain what happened,  the stamp transferred cleanly, however, since it was a scribble like design, the tips look like it didn't, since those were the tops of the hearts that went off the tip of the nail so it ended up just looking a bit messy, I should have lined the stamp up a bit better, but I learned, and will know better for next time. When you are not up close you can't tell at all, so even with that small bit of fail on my part, I still love, love how this turned out, not to mention it is so fun in the dark!

To get this look, I started with a base of Glowin of Eden on all my fingers. It was a bit sheer, at least for me, perhaps since my nails are longer, and to get rid of all VNL I ended up with 4 thin coats, it wasn't a huge issue, but something I thought I would note. I think next time I use this polish, I will start with a white base. Once that was dry, I taped my thumb (not shown) pointer, and pinky fingers and painted Awesome Blossom onto the tips. I sponged on in a checkered pattern Glowin' Of Eden and Awesome Blossom onto my middle and ring fingers, and then stamped over that in Vivid Lacquer plate VL 009. I then top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on top and voila!  glowy nails! 

Overall, despite my slight stamping fail, which in hindsight I should have fixed, I still really adore this look, and can see myself wearing these glow polishes over and over again. Plus, charging them up and playing with them in the dark is so much fun! :P I am such a dork sometimes! Ha Ha! 

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today, I hope everyone is having a great week. I know, I missed Red Coat Tuesday again this week, but between school and general summer chaos I just lost track of time, and they didn't get done. I did watch the episode though, and the thing I have been hoping would happen, happened!. I have so much Caleb love it is ridiculous, I can't help it, his awesome makes my heart happy! Anyway, till next time Kittens! <3

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

#RedCoatTuesday and Canada Day in One!

Heya Guys!

My #RedCoatTuesday mani is a bit unique today, since today is also Canada Day, and since I am Canadian I couldn't not do some Canadian themed nails! Thankfully this works out perfectly since our flag colours are red and white!

First, let's start with, I really, really love how these came out! Last year, I was just starting to really dabble into nail art, and let's just say, what I planned in my head did NOT translate onto my nail! :P so this feels like a bit of an achievement since what I saw on my head did translate awesomely onto my nails! It also had the added benefit of working so well with Red Coat Tuesday! 

To get this look I started with a base of OPI: OPI Red on my thumb (not shown) pointer, and ring fingers and a base of Cult Nails Tempest on my middle and ring fingers. I top coated all my nails with quick dry top coat at this point, since I was going to be stamping/taping. Once they were dry, I stamped over my middle and ring finger using BM 004 in Mundo De Unas Red 9 and used  straight Nail Vinyls for my ring finger and painted over the red base in Tempest. I then top coated a second time and voila Red Coat Tuesday Canada Day Nails! That is seriously a mouth full! :P

Even though this isn't a very sultry look for PLL, They are red, and it is Canada Day, and I think they will be perfect for tonight's episode, well they will work at any rate! :P Speaking of PLL, I read in an online interview that Caleb will be coming back this season, which excites me to no end! I really hope that proves to be true! Does anyone else miss Caleb as much as I do!? 

Alright guys and gals, I think that covers it for today.   I will mention here quick before I go, why I wasn't around all last week. I ended up going on a hastily planned camping trip last week for the Canadian holiday, and just got back Sunday night. I wanted to queue up a couples posts in my absense, but alas hastily planned camping trips keep you really busy before you leave so it didn't get done. I hope you all can forgive me, cause I had a blast! anyway, Happy Canada Day to all you Canadians out there, and to everyone else Happy PLL Day! Till next time Kittens! <3
