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.

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.

Electric Orange

Hey all,
Like I mentioned last post, I'm super excited about this manicure. :)
On Friday I received my order from Born Pretty Store! I had totally forgotten about it, honestly. It took almost a month, coming from Hong Kong. But it was well worth the wait. I ordered a roll of striping tape & a set of 3D filmo fruit! I am completely in love with the fruit. They're so detailed and colorful. I had to use them right away.

So I was sitting, staring at my stash for a good twenty minutes, numb with possibilities. Which fruit of the 12? With which colours? What the hell!? Thankfully my boyfriend, Lucas, pointed me in the right direction. He always helps me out of my indecision. We enjoy the same taste in aesthetic, so I know his ideas will work. He told me to use the new tape and start with the oranges. The rest just fell into place.

I absolutely adore this manicure. It's so much fun. 

The tape was super easy to use and better quality than other kinds I've tried. 

And the little oranges are so perfect!

What do you think?

I used Essie - Orange, it's Obvious! (hate the name) as my base

& Zoya - Raven to do the tape job

Once it was dry I glued the orange down with Seche Vite and covered it in a layer to keep it set

I can't wait to use the watermelons in the summer, and apples in the fall. They're just so amazingly cute!

This manicure received a 100% satisfaction rating from Kit-Kat.

Can't argue with results :)

The other day I realized I haven't had Nina Hagen on my ipod for over two years. Shocking! Nina Hagen has always been in my life. My father played the hell out of her albums, I think he has a crush on her. Hell, I know I do! Nina is the ideal woman. Strong, unique, very loud AND backed by a killer band.

If you don't know who Nina is, you're in for a treat. You don't need to speak German to understand how much she rocks! Enjoy!

Hope everyone's having a great Sunday. I've got the little brother over for an afternoon hockey game and breakfast for lunch! Mmmmm... bacon and hockey.... drooling...

But I must run, the game's about to begin!

Have a great day and an awesome manicure!
