Nail Stamping: OPI Jade is the New Black, With a Bit of Cult Nails Tempest and OPI This Gown Needs a Crown.

Heya Guys!!


Happy Friday! Today I have for you another nail stamping mani. It was a really simple manicure done with only 3 polishes;  OPI Jade is the New Black, Cult Nails Tempest and OPI This Gown Needs a Crown. Let me just say, OPI Jade is the New Black, might be my new favorite green ever! It is such a stunning dark, but bright green colour, that I just fell in love with the second I put it on.

As you can see, it is very simple, but I think, that is what I like best about it . The soft elegant simplicity of this mani, is what makes it work.  I also love the accent glitter nail, it adds just the right amount of bling so that it isn't too boring!  

As a side thought, I am still having a bit of trouble combating the harsh cold weather, and keeping my skin in good condition. I feel like I moisturize and oil my hands and cuticles up a thousand times a day, and am still not getting anywhere with it, Any tips anyone wants to send my way would be awesome!!

Alright guys and gals, I think that's it for today. I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday, and I hope everyone has a great weekend. 

Enchanted Polish: Kids, Swatches with a Sprinkle of OPI: My Boyfriend Scales the Walls

Heya Guys!!

I know I promised no more then a week without a post, and here I am a day late, but like I said before, things have been rather hectic for me lately, so it has been hard just keeping up with 1 a week :l Just this week alone, I have my  roommate moving out, and across the country, and puppy surgery  (nothing to serious, just getting one of my dogs fixed, one of his "boys" never descended, so it is abdominal surgery unfortunately though) :l  The sad part is, these aren't even the most eventful things to happen to me in the last few weeks! The good news is, that things should be getting back to a more normal pace after this week, so this posting fail should stop after this week! Just bare with me a tiny bit longer guys!!

Anyway, like most days in the past couple of weeks, I am short on time today so I will make this short. If you follow me on instagram, you already know, I recently got my paws on a couple of Enchanted Polish, polishes.  Today, I am showing off one of the colours I got! I didn't get all the "hype" around this brand, till I tried it for myself.  Honestly, there are NO pictures, that really, truly do this brand justice. You are just going to have to take my word for it.. This brand is SO worth all the hype!!  This mani features  EP Kids, with a bit of OPI - My Boyfriend Scales the Walls....

Isn't it just amazing!??? There is so much going on in this polish..I don't even know where to begin!! The holo awesome, the duo-chrome,...the depth of the polish is simply stunning, not to mention the flawless, easy application. I got so many compliments when I wore this.. Simply put, I think everyone should have at least one Enchanted Polish in their stash...You won't regret it! I swear!!

Alright guys and gals! I know there isn't much to it here, but I hope you liked it anyway, and if everyone wants to think good thoughts for my puppy on Friday, that would be totally awesome of you!! Till next time kittens!!

KShimmer: Teal Another Tail Swatches and Review

Hey Guys,

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I had the entire weekend off from work, for the first time in, oh my gosh! 6 months maybe!?  I spent the weekend relaxing, catching up on some house work, and of course, a little nail art!! :P It was great, and I  am so glad, that the slower season is here with work, so that weekends off, won't be so rare!

Today I have a polish from the KBShimmer fall collection, Teal Another Tail to be exact.  I absolutely adore this colour. Not only is it  a gorgeous gorgeous, almost emerald green, but it also has  a stunning purple shimmer, throughout it.  I was just mesmerized, by how pretty this colour is, the whole time I had it on.  I was constantly moving my hands to catch it in the light, and being awed every single time. The only downside, was how distracting this polish was to have on my nails. 


If you have been on the fence about this polish, or any of the polishes, from the KBShimmer fall collection. I highly, highly recommend picking some, or all of them up. Every single polish is, simply put, amazing. I got the whole collection, and will be showing it off  in the coming weeks.  As a fun fact, this was actually my first entire collection purchase. I am pretty new to nail polish, as I have mentioned before, and have always  just picked up the polishes from collections that I consider to be "must haves".  When I started seeing images of the KBShimmer fall collection, I simply couldn't seem to pick any favourites out. I kept trying to only pick out a few, but couldn't seem to settle on which ones were my "must haves" so eventually, I caved and got the entire thing. In the end, I am really glad I did, cause like I said before they are all simply stunning. The application  of this was of course, awesome. I don't think I have come across a difficult KBShimmer yet.  

Alright, now that I have been a total cheerleader for this collection, it is time to finally show it off, so you all can see why I am totally enamored with it!

The accent nail is OPI - My Vampire is Buff for the base , then Essie - Play Date,  Zoya - Shawn, and KBShimmer - Teal Another tail for the dots.

I had to show off my thumb, since it adds to the look.

I just love the purple shimmer.

And here is the entire collection, just in case you  haven't seen it.

R to L: Turbulence, You Autumn Know, You Go Ghoul, Vicious Circles,  Every Nook & Cranberry,  Teal Another Tail, Excuse me, I Blurped.

I know, I know a bit picture heavy, I seem to be saying that a lot! I don't mean to be spamming with pictures week after week! I just had so much  fun taking pictures that I got a bit carried away, plus I have been working on some of my photography skills, lighting and colour accuracy, that I just couldn't help myself! I really think I have some solid improvements here, and I wanted to show that off a bit!  Still a ways to go yet, but getting there at least!  You also likely noticed I have added a watermark to my photos. I thought it a good idea to start branding them. I tried a few different colours and styles here, and haven't settled on anything yet, but will soon I am sure. 

Okay guys, I think that pretty much covers it. I hope you enjoy the images, as much as I enjoyed taking them! Till next time Kittens!!

P.S. **Incoming shamless plug for myself!!**  I recently got a Instagram, and Pintrest account and have added follow buttons at the top of the blog. If you feel so inclined, feel free to follow me there :D

Manicure - Nubar Black Polka Dots over OPI Skull and Glossbones

So, my very first post! I feel like there is a lot of pressure to make a great  first impression, and I normally fall flat on my face when put on the spot, so this is a bit nerve racking for me! Although chances are no one will even see this, so I guess it doesn't really matter when you think about it! :P

  After some thought, I decided on something simple for my first post. I wanted to be loud and exciting, make a statement, make myself stand out, but that fear of falling flat on my face kept me thinking simple and safe.

  This is a manicure I wore a little while back. I think about a month or so ago, and although I am enjoying summer and neon's and everything bright and sunshine filled that comes with it. I did adore this manicure when I had it on. There was a simple elegance about it that I simply loved.  Plus as an added bonus it was SO simple to do!

  Now, the indoor photos were taken with my T3i,  however the outdoor ones were sadly snapped with my iphone camera, I apologize in advance for their less than stellar quality.

 First up, the indoor photos.

                                                     

Love the polka dots!

 Here are a couple of outdoor shots, with the trusty iPhone camera.

I love the matte effect with this look!

Okay, so there you have it! I hope I didn't disappoint or bore you all too badly!!  I promise to make my second post a bit more exciting. I love colour, especially bright loud obnoxious colours! 

 The polishes used to achieve this look were:

OPI Skull and Glossbones

Nubar Black Polka Dot

OPI Matte Top Coat.
