Model City Polish - Licker

Hey all,

I liked my last mani so much I wanted to do it all over again!

This time featuring Model City Polish - Licker and some chevrons.

Licker is a beautiful coral polish full of itty bitty red flecks.

And the flecks really glow in the light, warm and brilliant like fire.

I didn't expect to love this one as much as I do. ^_^

I used one coat of Model City Polish - Hanging On A Vine on my accent finger
and two chevrons, for what turned out to be a bit of a military look.
The only Army I'm signing up for is the Model City Army!

Licker is just phenomenal in the sunlight. Bright and vibrant without being neon.
Quite a kick ass coral, I must say. Not usually a colour I gravitate to.
But I'm definitely being converted. :)

Hope you all have a great week!
In one week my little brother starts high school!
Mauahaha! The horror begins! ;P

Summer PixieDust Colour Blocking

Hey all,

I don't know about you, but I've really been enjoying this summer. It's been absolutely fantastic! 

And like when I was in school, I never think about it's imminent departure.

I try to live each day totally embracing the season at that moment.

But now everyone's getting excited about the latest fall collections.

Deep, dark and rich colours... Velvety shimmer...

But wait. Hold up everybody.

It's still summer.

I refuse to contemplate anything fall related until September 22nd.

Until then I'm putting my beautifully manicured fingers in my ears and chanting "summer will last forever"

On that note... 

I've been ignoring my Summer PixieDusts. So I decided to give them a little lovin.

Glistening summer fantastic! These colours are gorgeous together.

Bright, bold and sparkling, just like a beautiful summer day.

I think they turned out quite fabulous. Very retro, my co-worker said.

What do you think of my textured summer fun?

And are you holding on to summer or hoping for fall?

Zoya - Solange, Beatrix & Destiny

Let's Spin a Yarn...

Here's some shots of the shawl I've been working on.

I'm in love <3 I mean, I fall in love with everything I make. 

But this is one's for me :) I'm keeping my baby!

Bored yet?

I hope everyone's having a good week. Tomorrow's Friday!!

Tomorrow is also my best work girlfriend's last day at work. It's kind of sad. But life is change. She needs change. 

Instead of having a work friend, I'll have a friend. Five years of hanging out 5 days a week doesn't just disappear.

But that's just it. Five days a week. You get so used to it. And it makes things way more fun.

Candy, if you ever read this...I'm going to miss your bitchy presence so much. 

All the lunches, phone calls, and chats with Paul made the last 5 years a blast. 

I'm so glad Army of Darkness lead to our "unlikely" duo.  

Bruce Campbell, tea and bitchiness forever!

Have a great night and an awesome manicure.

Holographic Citrus Dance Party

Hey all!

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing The B-52's in concert!

It was a childhood dream come true.

Months ago I was lamenting to a co-worker how my biggest regret was missing them last time they were in town.

And the very next day at lunch I see in the newspaper "B-52's on sale today!"

It was meant to be. Praise be to the music gods!

For a group with their kind of sound, bright and colourful nails were a must! 

Something goofy and fun.

So I opted for a holographic citrus skittle!

So much holo goodness! (drooling)

And I'm thirsty for lemonade.

What do you think?

Bright goofy and fun enough for you?

I'm not usually a big fan of skittle manis.

But if it's holographic, anything goes.

Too much is not enough!

I used Nubar - Reclaim and 

Color Club - Kismet, Cosmic Fate & Miss Bliss

I dragged Dagadelic  to the show with me of course.

I cannot wait for her to post her concert mani.

We were totally on the same wave length. :)

So check her out soon!

Dagadelic also sent me this amazing live performance on Saturday Night Live in 1980.

They were so fantastic. And I'm proud to say they still are.

They've totally got it. Super high energy and just... happy.

You can always feel it when an artist is genuinely having fun performing.

It sparkles the performance. And their show was just as dazzling as my manicure. 

Enjoy!

Hope everyone's having an excellent weekend. 

I spent my morning recovering from last night.

But it was totally worth it. :)

Have a great night and an awesome manicure.

7 Deadly Sins Challenge - Sloth

Hey All,

We are now half way through the 7 Deadly Sins Challenge!

Bring on Sloth. Let's get lazy!

"Create a manicure inspired by your laziness... or whatever... I'm so tired..."

When I'm feeling lethargic I don't do any art. I pick something spectacular and let the colour do the talking.
What a perfect time to break out a brand new Zoya PixieDust!
I give you my quickest, laziest manicure possible. 

What's lazier than a polish that requires no base or topcoat?

This took a total of 10 minutes.

I added the apple because I've been dying to use it, it's so fricken cute.

 I applied topcoat to keep it in place. It's the first time I've used topcoat on PixieDust. 

It's super pretty but not quite obvious in the photos.

This is Destiny. A lovely coral with golden shimmer.

Other than it's cheeseball name it is a gorgeous polish.

What do you think?

This bottle shot isn't right. It's really a deep coral. :P

Lisa from The Polish Playground was nice enough to nominate me for the Best Blog award.

It's pretty much the same as The Liebster. Answering and asking of questions.

In the spirit of my laziness I'll answer her questions but I won't be nominating anyone. :P

1. Do you have any siblings?

   I have a younger brother. Much younger, 14 year difference. And I have adopted my boyfriend's little brother and his girlfriend as my siblings. So 3 younger siblings in total. 

2. What's your guilty pleasure?
   I don't have any pleasures I feel guilty about :P
3. What's your zodiac sign?
   Sagittarius.
4. What's your favorite color?
   Green. Especially dusty sage.
5. Your favorite genre of music to listen to?
   Rock n' Roll.
6. What's your one favorite nail polish at the moment?
    That's a hard one! But I'll go with color Club - Beyond. Such a fantastic black holo.
7. What was your first ever nail polish you bought?
    The polish that got me back into doing my nails was Essie - A Cut Above. It changed everything.
8. What colors do you have the most of in your collection?
    Greens and blues.
9. What's your favorite nail polish finish to wear?
    Creme. It's just so smooth and sophisticated.
10. What's your most expensive nail polish that you own?
     My $15 polishes. Enchated Polish & piCture pOlish.
11. Do you prefer short or long nails?
     Medium? Not too long, not too short. If they're too long they're a problem at work and they chip faster.

Muse-ic
In honour of this weeks theme I've got Lazy by The Heartless Bastards.
I don't know what she's saying half the time, but I still love this song.
Enjoy!



I hope everyone has a good weekend, and an awesome long weekend if you're in Canada.
Not looking too nice here on the west coast. It's grey and windy.
That's why I've planned a movie night. Cosy inside fun :) I can't wait.
If you're also having inside time you should check out the other Sloth manicures! There's some pretty fantastic art.
Have a great day and an awesome manicure.
