China Glaze : Keep Calm Paint On ♥

Hi guys ! How is your week going so far ? Mine has been busy, and not the best one so far, but hoping for the best. ♥ Today I'm going to show you China Glaze Keep Calm Paint On. First off, this was another polish I wanted for like forever. (And I don't like mint green or any green polishes for that matter , I blame Elena from Ecklipsed By Color  for starting this obsession ). And who just doesn't love the name too ? Any polish with such a cute name is a winner ! This polish is from the Avent Garden Collection . China Glaze Keep Calm , Paint On is described as a sea foam green . This is a pale sea foam green with the most gorgeous micro shimmer. The formula was a little thin on this polish, but still very easy to work with and even opaque in two coats. ♥ A sure winner ! Let me share the photos of this beauty with you - I seriously can't get over how gorgeous this colour is !! I need some more mint polishes in my life now. ♥ Remember to enter my g

OPI Pink Flamenco Skittelette

 Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a fun filled weekend ! I really can't believe how fast this weekend went past, had so much to do and like always too little time. Today I'm showing you the mani I had on for Mothers day, a fun and simple skittelette mani. For this mani I used OPI Pink Flamenco, Tip Top French Manicure White, Essence Black Stamping Polish, China Glaze Matte Magic, and Avon Gold Flecked. The stamping was done with Konad Stamping plate M65 ♥ Enough babbling about the mani, let me share the photos - As you can see, three of the nails are 2 coats of OPI Pink Flamenco. The Ring finger I painted with two coats of Tip Top French Manicure White, and then stamped with Essence Black Stampy Polish. The pinky is two coats of OPI Pink Flamenco , and one coat Avon Gold Flecked glitter, and to top it off, I used China Glaze matte Magic on the pinky too. ♥ Simple yet gorgeous, I really loved this mani so much. How was YOUR weekend ? Hope everyone ha

China Glaze : Bump & Grind

Hi guys ! It's finally Friday, whoohoo !!! Anyone have any exciting plans for this weekend ? I've got quite a busy weekend ahead, but planning to finish my book with a nice mug of hot chocolate too . ♥ Today I'm showing you yet another fun texture polish. This time it's another one from China Glaze - Bump & Grind . Bump & Grind is a bold pink texture polish. I just love this shade of pink ♥ Again, the formula was fantastic, I used two coats, but could have easily gotten away with one. ( I wanted to test how two coats looked versus 1 coat ) In the photos below I used 2 coats of China Glaze Bump & Grind - I have to say I'm really in LOVE with the formula of this polish, these are easily one coaters, but a second coat just enhances the beauty of these polishes. These polishes wear like iron too, so it's a win win situation, gorgeous nail colour that lasts ♥ My give-away closes next week, so remember to enter if you haven

Tip Top Wild Thing Glitter : Platinum Pizazz & Electric Pineapple

Hi guys ! Hope everyone is having a great week so far ! Can't believe it's Wednesday already , this week seem to have flown by ! As promised, I'm showing you some more awesome textured polishes today. For today's post I'm showing you two of the Tip Top Wild Thing Glitter colours. These also have the double sided ends. I have to be honest here, I don't like the glitter just plain, I prefer a base colour underneath ( visible nail line irritates me ) . Here's the steps of how I applied these- I applied two coats of my Tip Top Nail Chic as base colour When the colour was dry, I took a piece of white paper and put it down to catch all the glitter that might fall off. Then I applied 1 coat of the CLEAR end , followed by n light sprinkle of the coloured bar glitter end. Gently press down on the glitter When dry lightly dust any loose glitter of your fingers. Let me share the swatches of Tip Top Wild Thing Glitter Platinum Pizazz wi

China Glaze - Unrefined ♥

Hi guys ! Hope everyone had a relaxing weekend ! Mine was nice and relaxing, spend some quality time with my little guy, and enjoyed the cooler weather again. ♥ I'm excited to show you some more textured polishes this week .... Today I'm showing you a polish I have really been waiting for FOREVER ! Since I first heard of the China Glaze Textures I've been counting down the days until I could get them , and last week when I heard they were finally available , I got myself 2 ! Today I'm sharing my FAVOURITE one on this collection - China Glaze Unrefined . Unrefined is a Barbie Pink blue-toned pink . I just LOOOOVVVVEEEE these textures ! Seriously cool. ♥ The go on evenly, and only needed ONE coat !! Seriously impressed with the formula, and thinking about picking up some more colours . These also dries fast (another bonus since you don't use top coat with them ) Here is the photos of ONE coat of China Glaze Unrefined - This is seriously a GORGEOU

Teal Nails For Food Allergy Week ♥

Hi guys !! Thank goodness it's Friday !! This week started off really bad for me with the no power, but turned out okay non the less. A while back The Little Canvas posted this Allergy Awareness Banner on Twitter, and I instantly knew I would support this cause. My mom suffers from severe nut allergies . I suffer from wheat intolerance as well as a sensitivity to certain fruits . So this cause is close to home for me, and one that needs more awareness. The Teal colour I chose was Avon Speed Dry Fast Time Teal. ♥ This colour lives up to the claim of drying in 30 Seconds . It's such a beautiful colour, just a little disappointed that the vibrant colour didn't quite translate on the photos. I used two coats of Avon Fast Time Teal in the photos below - If you would like more info on food allergies , here is a very helpful link - http://www.foodallergy.org/ If you did a teal mani in support of Food Allergy week, please leave me the link below too. ♥ Hope e
