Nail Files 11.14 - B&W Jolly Jewels

Linking up with my girl Jennie for...

Here's one more of my awesome Golden Rose nail polishes! I didn't use any 

polish underneath and went with only the fancy sparkles.

Thoughts?

This the polish I used:

Golden Rose Jolly Jewels #118

I can't wait to use my other polishes from this line! Especially the Christmas ones!

Nail Files 10.03 - Purple Carnival

I would love to post our vacation pictures, but our internet has been the WORST this week and I haven't been able to upload anything! Working on it though!

Therefore, I'm linking up with my girl Jennie for...

I picked up a couple of amazing glitter polishes on vacation, by Golden Rose, and from the first use I've totally fallen in love. The other nails have a Sally Hansen buff polish on them.

Excuse the background - work has better lighting than my house LOL

The polish:

Carnival #11

They have 26 'shades' of the Carnival line and I'm totally going to ask my mom to pick me up some more. Because of course, they sell them absolutely everywhere except for in Canada. Did I mention they cost less than $3CAD? Exactly.

Which ones catch your eye?

Have a great weekend peeps!

I'm tired of waiting for real spring to arrive so I painted my nails in spring colours anyway. Such a rebel.

Can't wait for more spring colours and then...dare I say it...summer colours!

Happy Weekend!

This week I paired these two puppies:

Glitz Gal + Merino Cool

The lighting ins't great, sorry! I total love how they match and aren't too bold but still rad :)

Excited to see y'alls nails! I need spring/summer ideas :)

As if I'll have time to do my nails in the summer.

Today I'm reviewing these puppies:

I received this press-on manicure in my first Influenster Maple Vox Box last month. I used to do my own glue-on manicure in university quite frequently, although I always opted for the french mani. The shape of my nailsbeds and fingers make easy for me to pull this off without them seeming obviously fake so I was totally open to giving these a try, even though pattern was bolder than what I'm used to.

What I remember from previous self-applications is a lot of glue. A lot. Well, no more of that! These nails are pre-stickied (such a technical term) and covered with a clear film. Once you match up your nail sizes (12 different sizes, 2 of each = 24 nails), you just peel off the film, stick it on. Don't forget to press & hold too!

It.was.so.easy! I love it!

I even matched the nail sizes so that I'd have enough for two applications (with four nails left over) so BAM - 2 manis in 1!

I totally recommend these if you're looking to cover up your real nails for a bit (mine were breaking & chipping constantly so they needed a break & I needed something nice to look at) or just a fun mani without the effort (especially if you don't have to skills - like me).

This is from Day 2

I hope Target Canada is still having a clearance sale on their nail stuff and I can pick up some more designs for cheap!!!

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.

I'm actually very excited about this week's post! Our lovely host Jennie let me in on a little secret called www.nailpolishcanada.com! I ordered a couple items at the end of last week and received them on Monday!

I finally found the PERFECT nude colour:

And amazing discovery #2, thanks to my cousin & Jennie again...Seche Vite top coat! That's why I was able to take this great pic of my nails THREE DAYS after I applied it. For me, that's amazing because usually only looks like that for the first THREE HOURS after application.

Happy Friday!

Vacation nails!!! In honour of this summery vaca to California, I used bright colours on my fingers and toes. That's right, double show today!

These are the colours I used

Coral Reef, Sunkissed, Twisted Pink

Sunkissed accented with Twisted Pink

Coral Reef

Then I decided these nails needed something to make them POP!

Strobe Light accents

Anyone else trying to hold onto summer with bright nail polish shades?!

I know I haven't linked up in a while & that's because I really haven't painted my nails in a while. Not only have I been busy, but they have been chipping & cracking like crazy so I've just been trimming them and treating them with hardener. If anyone has some magical suggestions, I'm all ears!

But I've been dying to use this colour and with [my Orthodox] Easter being this weekend, I knew I had to finally put on this truly spring colour :)

Doesn't hurt that it's my favourite Tiffany blue ;)

Mintilicious by Rimmel

I l.o.v.e. Rimmel nail polish. The brush is just so perfect that it always makes for an easy application!

Last weekend when my cousin was visiting, we spent Saturday night watching movies & painting our nails.

Here's the end result:

I love love LOVE the gold & black combo and was very happy with the Maybelline nail polish, which I had never used before.

Next I'd like to tackle polka dots but I'm still afraid...

So I started with this...

And then I decided I should fancy it up with one of my new nail brushes. Umm, that shit is hard to use freehand. I promise something better next time but for now, this is my 'masterpiece'...

Here's a question nailpolish-lovers:

Has anyone ever used up their entire bottle of polish?!

This weeks mani is...

SH Hard As Nails - Dahlia

SH Xtreme Wear - Strobe Light

I love the way this turned out! Probably because I had no idea it would turn out this awesome!

Definitely a fan of the sparkling 'french tip'!

Can't wait to see everyone else's linkups!
