I Love Nail Polish - Purple Plasma

Hey all,

I've got an absolute stunner for you today!

Brace yourself for...

I Love Nail Polish - Purple Plasma

Purple Plasma is a gorgeous "electric" purple holographic polish full of red and gold sparkle.

This is two coats. 

No matter the lighting, it's beauty is intense!

The holo is to die for but it's the sparkle that really kills it.

I stamped with Essie - Good As Gold and used MoYou London Sci Fi Plate 2.

I couldn't bare to cover much of this up, so I picked a little robot that I'm totally in love with.

It's so damn cute, I want to stamp it on everything ^_^

Purple Plasma has quickly become a new favourite.

ILNP did a stellar job on this one. 

What are your favourite ILNP shades?

Have a good one!

Pink and Purple Dragon in the Clouds

  Hey all,

Welcome to the start of another glorious weekend! woot woot.

I wish I could take better advantage of Friday nights.

But once I get home I'm more of a zombie than any other night. 

By 10 my eyes are glazed and my attention span is gone.

If I do end up going out, you'll notice me because I'm the one yawning so hard my eyes start to water.

(._.) Life of the party right here! 

I may not be partying but you can bet there's a party going on on my nails.

Just like this one...

 

artificial light

The base is Model City Polish - Purple Dragon, a bright purple full of blue and purple flecks.

Topped with the fantastic Firecracker Lacquer glitter PINK! (previously swatched here)

I thought it would contrast nicely, and man was I right! These babies were made for each other!

I love it when indies go together like pie and ice cream. Warms my heart.

artificial light

But the party doesn't end there! They demanded more!
So out came Sally Hansen - Lightening and Bundle Monster plate BM312.
I've been neglecting my bundle monsters (bad girl) so I thought I would give them some love.
I've never used the cloud pattern before. For this manicure, it's just perfect!

sunlight

I really really love this one. 

Summery... bright... fun... a little wild and crazy... a match made in heaven. 

The twinkling flecks, the sprinkling of pink and the bold yellow lines.

I want to wear this forever!

However you decide to spend your Friday I hope you have a great one!

jeebjeeb

summertime and the living is easy

Hey all!

I'm baaaacck....*Poltergeist style* 

My week away was cloud free and fantastic.

Days full of reading, swimming and bracelet making. Heaven!

Lucas brought his bb gun and I tried it for the first time. Surprisingly, I'm not bad at it!

Definitely something I want to play with more.

So I gave my Dad hell for not getting me one a as a kid. What the hell Dad??

I couldn't been a sharp shooter by now!

Would have been used way more than the fishing rod he got me.

 

I've got two simple stamping manis for you today.

Featuring two very lovely indie polishes.

First up...

ILNP - Charmingly Purple

A super sweet bright purple holo

 

 

I stamped with Sally Hansen - Lickety Split Lime using MoYou London Suki Plate 09

On a few nails I used Sally Hansen - Lightening and did a little dotting.

 

I really love the Dragonflies. Especially after spending a week surrounded by them.

Did you know they eat mosquitoes, flies and wasps? Best insects ever!

Cult Nails - Radiance

A beautiful berry creme, Cult Nail's nod to the colour of the year

 

This polish was just begging for some gold accents, so I used Essie - Good As Gold

and stamped with Messy Mansion Plate MM32

 

 

As usual with Messy Mansion the detail is insane and the end result is gorgeous.

I am so in love with this hieroglyph stamp!

 

So I didn't get a sunburn the entire trip.

But I went to the beach with my parents yesterday and burnt my back.

Lame!

So I'm going to moisturize and take a nap now. I'm a bit zonked.

Have a good one!

Model City Polish Gradient

Hey all,

One more post before I go go... 

Tonight's A#1 most important thing - do my nails.

(And I better do a damn good job of it if it's going to last a week.)

Then and only then will I allow myself to pack. 

Priorities! (._.)

 Today's manicure is brought to you by my ever growing Model City Polish stash and the letter L.

I told Lucas I was doing a gradient and made him pick from all my MCP holos. :)
What a hard, painful job huh? Demanding girlfriend from hell, that's me!

artificial light

He decided on Cold Snap (blue) & October Sunset (purple)

But let's not give him too much credit, you can't go wrong with any of those holos!

artificial light

I stamped with Konad - White using Pueen Buffet Plate 59 for a little floral fun.

Super cute and simple. I seriously love the Buffet Collection.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's a great deal and so versatile! 

If you haven't already, pick this shit up!

natural light

Oooohh... Ahhh... Holo....

Alright, so I'm having a hard time coming up with content, what do you want from me?

You try and type up something coherent with all that holo goodness in your face!

I dare you!! It's like the sparkles are infecting my mind man!!

natural light

Well I wont be posting again for over a week.

 But don't cry, it's going to be ok. I'll be back (Terminator style)

Take care of yourself and have a good time without me!

Catch you on the flip!

Firecracker Lacquer - Your Mom Thought I Was Big Enough & Girl Fight

Hey all,

Happy Canada Day!

Time for more Firecracker Lacquer!

Your Mom Thought I Was Big Enough

sunlight

This is a very sheer multichrome polish, shifting though blue, purple, red and orange.

And a linear holographic with varying sizes of holographic bits.

I decided to show it off over a dark purple creme, Barry M - Plum.

indirect artificial light

The different sizes of holo give this polish awesome depth.

Kendahl aced the space theme, this really is a galaxy in a bottle. Incredibly stunning!

indirect sunlight

 I was curious to see how it would look with other undies, so I did a little tester.

L-R - one coat over black, one coat over silver, one coat over white & 3 coats alone.

Which undies do you like best? What would you pair it with? 

Next up...

Girl Fight

sunlight

Girl Fight is a magenta jelly with pink/purple shifting glitters and a hint of holo.

This is two coats. The formula was super easy to work with.

 Kendahl describes this as a bruise, if bruises were more girly.

The first thing I though of when I put this on was showgirl. So now I'm calling it Showgirl Fight.

It's so full of glittery joy that it dries down a little bumpy. 

One thick layer of topcoat and you ready to duke it out!

I'm so taken with how squishy and twinkly this is. Super summery sparkling raspberry jello. 

Yet again I'm super impressed with Firecracker lacquer.

The shop is live! So hurry on over!

Or check out Firecracker Lacquer's Facebook or Instagram.

Alright y'all, time to spend the rest of Canada Day with a crochet hook in my hand.

Have a good one!

Afternoon Tea

 Hey all,

A few weeks ago Dagadelic and I planned an afternoon tea date.

It's one of our rituals. At least twice a year we get our tiered treats on.

Nothing like good tea, good company and scones with clotted cream and jam (my favourite part)

Usually I'm at a loss as to how to do my nails. But not this time. 

Because Bitch, I got a plate for that!

Say hello to Messy Mansion plate MM10!

It may be coffee themed, but it had me at tiny tea pots and steaming cups.

 My tea freak heart rejoices!

I started with a base of Sally Hansen - Soy Latte (like hello of course it has to be in my tea mani)

Then I used Zoya - Odette for the gradient. ...I didn't have any other polishes with drink names (._.)

I really like how it turned out. Like tea you've poured milk into but haven't stirred yet.

I stamped with good old Konad - White for contrast.

On my thumb you can see the french press in all it's glory.
Or is that supposed to be a coffee grinder? I'm not sure. :\

So stinkin cute.
If I was a waitress at a diner, I would wear this everyday.

We tried out a new tea place this time.
Instead of our earthy Asian infused favourite we decided on a girly-er experience.
Set in a tiny converted Victorian house downtown, it was the epitome of dainty fun.
Everything was pink, many chandeliers and the servers wore frilly floral smocks.
It was a trip man.

Cute little timer to let you know when your tea was perfect.

Little bird strainers and plates. Huge tea pots with TEA emblazoned on them (very Alice in Wonderland)

They set us up in front of a bay window, like holy crap, it was so perfect!

And the food! Best tiny cucumber sandwich I have EVER had.

 

Now that I've made you hungry, you should find a place near you that does afternoon tea.

You won't be disappointed, there's a little something for everyone.

Hope you have a great Friday!

Sweet Heart Polish - Isn't It Wonderful

Hey all,

I have a half dozens manicures waiting for their turn on the blog.

And instead of going in the usual chronological order, I'm skipping the line!

Today I'm breaking my rules man! D:

I'm just too excited and impressed.

This is my first time trying Sweet Heart Polish, and it definitely wont be my last.

I give you...

Isn't It Wonderful

 

indirect natural light 

Isn't It Wonderful is a purple jelly base full of gold shimmer and iridescent bar glitter.

I fell in love with it from the first moment I saw it.  

And when I painted it on, holy crap, like buttah!!

The most amazing effortless formula, even dealing with the bar glitter at the tips was a breeze.

 

indirect natural light

At first I was hesitant about the bar glitter, but it just looked so damn cool.

Do you also find yourself torn by bar glitter?

Well my friend, this is the polish for you!

 

indirect natural light

Micro bar. That's the wave of the future! Smaller, less annoying, prettier.

And iridescent! It's like shimmery ghost glitter! Not obnoxious, but a gentle foray into bar glitter.

Then there's the shimmer...

I mean, I could be sitting here all night talking to you about how wonderful this polish is.

 

direct natural light

I used two coats and the visible nail line wasn't nearly as noticeable as in the photos.

 

indirect artificial light

I accented with neon green stars from Daily Charme. So damn cute!

Isn't It Wonderful
Why yes. Yes it is.

Porcelain Pop

Hey all,

I have been a very lax blogger as of late. My bad.

I've been feeling a shift in my life. A refocusing.

It's about time.

 

And I've been watching a lot of playoff hockey.

Like every night.

And my team isn't even in it.

But it's such good hockey!

It's like watching a singer you're not into but still awed by their talent.

Any who. . . manicure pour vu.

 

 

 The Lady Varnishes - Porcelain Doll stamped with China Glaze - Grape Pop

 Porcelain Doll is a very sweet lilac base, though my pictures are leaning bluer,
With stunning gold fleck and maybe a bit of pink shimmer (?)
The Lady Varnishes really knows how to make intriguing polishes.
They always surprise me with the little details, that little extra zazz you didn't expect.

I stamped with Pueen Buffet Plate 54 :)

 

Well, that's all folks.

Have a great night and watch some playoff hockey one of these days!

It's the best soap opera around!

I Love Nail Polish - Sirene

Hey all,

Today I bring you something super super special.

Another stunning Ultra Chrome from I Love Nail Polish.

And I'm proud to say that my pictures actually do it justice!

Nothing compares to sunlight people. That's all I'm going to say.

 Without further ado, I give you...

Sirene

direct artificial lighting

 Sirene is a killer colour shifter, going through green, blue, violet, red.

It's quite the chameleon.

indirect artificial lighting

But in the sun is really where it... shines.

 

direct sun light

 O.O Can you believe it?

Because I am just speechless.

indirect sunlight

 I stamped with Konad - Black using Pueen Buffet Plate 59

Just a little something something for contrast.

indirect sunlight

What do you think? Are you in love?

I Love Nail Polish is quickly becoming one of my favourite indies.

The more I try the more I want.

 

It's a beautiful day here but I don't really feel like doing anything :P

 So lazy, I know. I'll just go on the balcony and pretend I'm outside doing stuff ;) 

Have a good one!

ILNP - Undenied

Hey all,

I just finished watching a hockey game and feel like passing out ~_~

So tonight's another lazy late night manicure

(It's not really that late on the west coast, but whatever.) 

 

ILNP - Undenied

 

 

Undenied is an "ultra chrome" (sounds so futuristicly fantastic)

that shifts from violet and red to gold.

Photos do not do it justice.

 

The ultra part is definitely spot on. Metallic to the extreme.

And easy to work with. Just be gentle with your brush and it does the rest.

This is two coats.  

Are you an ultra chrome fan?

I'm a bit late to the party. I just could not deny their beauty any longer.

 

 The spring equinox is tomorrow!

I can't wait for all the flowers and cherry blossoms to come out.

Nothing's more inspiring than the rebirth of nature.

Have a great night!

We Are the Music Makers

Hey all,

I have another incredible Indigo Bananas for you today.

This brand does not disappoint.

If you don't have IB in your life you need some now!

 

On that note I give you

We Are the Music Makers

featured in a music themed stamp mani

 We Are the Music Makers is a teal jelly full of green/blue/purple shifting glitters. 

I'm a fool for this colour shift, so no surprise I'm totally in love.

I stamped with A England - Her Rose Adagio using MoYou Rockstar Plate 03

And yes people, those are little headphones!

 

Like it's brother 2% Butterscotch Ripple (it's a boy dammit!), this polish

is incredibly beautiful and perplexing. The more I stare, the less I understand.

  All I know is that I wish I could paint a car in it. I can't drive. But who cares!



 

The more I stare the more I drool.

 

I hope everyone has a great Friday.

I'm going to celebrate with fried chicken and hockey! *happy dance*

.And some Battlestar Galactica, the latest household obsession.

It's fun! If you're even remotely into sci-fi, check it out.

 

Catch you on the flipside,

jeebjeeb
