OPI My Dogsled is a Hybrid

Today I have a swatch of OPI's my dogsled is a hybrid this is from there fall collection that I recently bought off of Nailpolish Canada.com.

I really think this colour can be used through the winter season as it approaches.

Two coats are shown here for opacity. I find the colour looks like a teal with more sea green mixed into it and it is shown is natural light.

Halloween Nails 2K14

Its been awhile since I've done nail art. I just wasn't inspired or had the time to try anything.

But with Halloween around the corner I had to do something fun for the holiday.

Each nail is something different - the thumb is a mummy, index is Frankenstein, middle is eyeballs, ring finger is a tombstone and pinky is a blood drip.

Fun and colourful

Nail Polish Canada Revew

In Canada their aren't many places that sell nail polishs and nail art decals for a deal, so for many Canadians opt to go online to find  a bargain. 

One popular website is Nail Polish Canada. After purchasing from the site I can say they have a large variety of brands, up to date on collections and the shipping is  free over $25. I ordered on  Tuesday and before the weekend I recieved my order. All the nail polishes wee well packed and secure.

Below is what I ordered - Essie Take it out side(fall collection), OPI my dogsled is a hybrid (fall collection) and seche vite top coat & restore. I made some swatches better and more details are on the way. 

Overall I would buy from this store again fast shipping and good prices will keep me happy!

Triangle Cutout

These nails were inspired by Kylie Jenners cutout triangle nails below.

But I added a twist to mine and made it colouful for the last days of summer. I used striping tape for the thumb and a pink stripper for the rest.

I got the best lighting this morning while I was enjoying my tea on the porch.

Caribana Longweekend

With the last long weekend come and gone, so has summer. It starts to dwindle down and you see back to school videos on youtube, commercials for school supplies and the weather starts to change. 

No worries Fall is my favorite season so no hard feelings. 

The last biggest weekend the city is abuzz with so many things to do.

I went to Caribana this past weekend, colouful, fun and great music. I wait for this all year. 

A taste of the islands, dancing to the music and food. 

Maybe one year i'll be apart of mass (being apart of the parade). 

Also I went to a soca fete which is basically a soca concert.

I'll you need is a coke and rum and space to dance.

I had an amazing weekend.

If your ever in Toronto check Caribana out it is one of the biggest parades in Toronto.

Neon Tribe

On my days off I like to pamper myself and give my self the full salon/spa treatment.

Usually I make a face mask to help and treat my face after a long week or travelling and being in and out of different environments. I also like to give my body vitamins and different oils to give me that baby bottom soft skin and lastly I like to do my nails. Its a hidden passion and I really love the compliments I get, it makes me want to do even funky and crazy nail designs. 

I currently have these fun neon tribal.

Its bright and catches the eyes.

FIFA World Cup 2014 Nails

I had to do it. I had to support the biggest game in the world and my fav teams. Germany, Netherlands, Brazil and Argentina. I can't wait for kick off today, weeks of crazy futbol and even crazier fans. 

Are you following the games this year and what are your favorite teams?

Tropical Gradient

This mani reminds me of parrots in South America where my parents grew up. This mani is very eye catching and simple to recreate. Just paint on the colours onto a wedge sponge and sponge onto your nails. When I first saw this gradient years ago it looked hard but its really easy, it just can be a pain to clean sometimes. Thanks for reading.

The Last of Winter

Finally saying goodbye to the cold and those long icy nights. I can finally say it's Spring. This might be my last dark nail look for a while and follow the spring pastels.

I got the studs from ebay for $1, the navy polish is from Joe fresh and the periwrinkle and gold base are from china glaze. A very simple manicure.

Thanks for reading and follow for more.

Easter Watercolour Nails

I'm posting these very late but here are my Easter watercolour nails. I wanted to try something different from the normal baby chick and Easter egg designs that I normally would have. This is a really simple way to get a colourful look on your nails. I started with dotting 4 pastel colours and smudging it around with saran wrap to get the desired effect. The best part is it looks like you put a lot of effort into it and it's not messy. A win-win! I used a matte topcoat to change it up.

Colourful Daisy Nails

I actually created these nails last year and I recently found the pictures and decided why not.

The fit with the theme of spring and Easter.

I used pastel colours and a toothpick to create the petals. 

The weather in Toronto is crazy it was actually SNOWING yesterday. So much for Spring.

Thanks for reading and try out this cute design.

Hello 2014 + New nail Equipment

Whoo it's finally 2014 a new year new start. Time to do thing you didn't last year and start fresh.
Do you have any new years resolutions? I don't really tend to make them, I just try to make my dreams a reality as cheesy as that might sound.

On to the new nail stuff. I recently bought these off eBay. I bought them for my friends as Christmas presents but I couldn't resist getting something for myself.
I got nail foils - 25 for $7, striping tape - 30 for $3, nail studs - $1 for each pack of studs 1000pc and dotting tool set $2.

Dandelion Manicure

A fun and simple manicure that you can do in less than 5 minutes. 

It's a cute fall design with dandelions blowing in the wind.

I used recycle by china glaze for the base and a black stripper for the stem and a thin white stripper for the fluffy dandelion top. Ohh i nearly forgot I also put on a matte top coat which I liked a lot better than my usually glossy finish.  This can work on both short nails and long nails.

Try it out for yourself. Enjoy!

Bats and Purple Skies

Happy Halloween!

I have one last nail look for this Halloween.

I love bats for Halloween and loved the way this turned out!

What are you doing for Halloween?

Ruffian Nails

A fun fall mani that has a sophisticated edge and a clean look. I loved this design but I didn't think it would look good on me. Nor am I a fan of dark colours on me but with this design you can easily change up the colours depending on your mood. 

I went for a festive fall look that reminded me of the leaves on the trees and longer dark nights. 

This was a fun and simple mani and I hope you try it out for yourself. I used three colours and a matte top coat on the black to add something extra to the manicure.
