31DC - Day 3: Gold

Day 3 of the 31 Day Challenge already! Today's theme is gold & I chose to do my first ever dry marble. I've never heard of a dry marble before yesterday, so I looked up tutorials on youtube and gave it a shot. I don't think it turned out too bad, but if I ever try again I will try using contrasting colors. The colors I used to achieve this look is Signature Gold by Milani and Winter Affair by Color Club.

31DC - Day 2: Silver

It's day number two of the new 31 day challenge and today's theme is silver. I started my manicure with 2 coats of NFU OH #61, then I did a vertical line of glequins down the center of each nail. Very simple and cute!

One of My Favorites of 2012

I've been seeing a lot of bloggers doing a list of their favorite polishes from 2012 and I think it seems like fun. Here's just one of my favorite polishes of 2012, if you want me to do a list of my top 10 let me know :)!

This is Just Spotted the Lizard by OPI, which I swatched and reviewed (very poorly I might add) when I first started blogging here and before every company started making the exact same color and it became annoying. This is one of my favorites because this was one of my first real duo-chromes and it truly is beautiful.

Sally Beauty Supply Clearance Haul!

Hey guys, just wanted to show you my little haul I got during Sally's clearance sale. My total cost for my haul with the birthday coupon was $24 (and Gelous costs $8 in Canada so the deal on polish was GREAT)!
I picked up the Cheers gift pack (See my review here) and the Puttin' On The Glitz gift pack by China Glaze, a Gelous top coat which I was in desperate need of, and the Color Club Winter Affair collection (excluding the purple one). I will be swatching all of these very soon and hopefully you can pick some up for cheap at your local Sally's.

"Cheers!", For the New Year

Good afternoon everyone. Today's post is something I was hoping to have posted on New Year's Eve, but then I ended up going out for those 2 days in a row so it never happened. These were the polishes I wore to ring in the new year, and if you're lucky like I was some stores like Sally's, Ulta, or your local beauty supply store may still have them.

 The polishes I am referring to are the ones included in the Cheers gift pack by China Glaze. It contains 2 colors from their holiday collection which are Glistening Snow (silver) and Angel Wings (gold). The gift pack also comes with a shot glass which is one reason why I recommended it for the New Year. The other reason being that these colors are to die for!

 In shaded areas Glistening Snow looks like a regular silver micro glitter polish, but in light you realize it really is a super sparkly silver holographic micro glitter with a sand like finish almost if worn without top coat. If you could blend a diamond and turn it into dust, it would look just like this polish.

 Angel eyes has the same effect as Glistening Snow in the shade, but it is a gorgeous gold holographic micro glitter in light. It also has the same look and feel as Glistening Snow when no top coat is applied, which I personally like. Some people say that Angel Eyes is almost an exact dupe of an Ulta exclusive China Glaze released a while ago called Ultimate Holiday, which I was ecstatic about since there are no Ulta's in Canada .

Overall I really love this two polishes. They are extremely beautiful, and dry very quickly in comparison to other glitter polishes I have used. I would recommend a good top coat for ultimate shine and a smooth finish. I also recommend that you use the glue base coat method or the tin foil method for removal of this polish.

31DC - Day 1: Black and White

Happy New Year everyone! To kick 2013 off I have joined my first 31 day challenge! I don't know why I did this to myself knowing I have exams all month, but I'll try and keep up!

Today's theme was black and white. I did a simple dotted french because I came home way later than expected and wanted to get the post up ASAP. Not my best, but I promise I will try harder for the following days.

Peace & Love,
