<br />
Found out Tuesday that we are having a baby girl! I can't even process the thought of being pregnant let along having a girl. My husband and I are so excited though<br />
<br />
Today I have something a little edgy. I created a gradient with an almost firery look. When that was completely dry I added some striping tape and painted over with black. Then very carefully of course I took off the tape and added a coat of Seche<br />
<br />
Voila<br />

It's been 3 months now and I'm still not sure where I stand on the whole blogging thing. I would like nothing more to continue but life has got in the way. I'M PREGNANT!!!! I have been so sick. Everything nasty that comes with pregnancy I have....and I'm only 16 weeks!<br />
<br />
So I thought I would share this funky manicure with you. I love the difference in pattern. I used striping tape for my ring finger. It took a long time but I'm very satisfied with the outcome. Hope you enjoy<br />

<br />
I have something quick for you today. Awhile back I received some Mash product to review. Life has been really busy lately so I have not had time to post.<br />
This looks was pretty easy. All I did was use french manicure guides to add the black moon. I really like this look but not so much the colours. I used Mash Matte polish on top. Love it!!! I love how a little matte polish can completely change the look of a mani<br />

<br />
Today I have a review for you from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty</a>. This is by far the most fun I have had doing a review. It was a blast doing this mani.<br />
<br />
I was sent <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/fashion-fastener-zipper-nail-sticker-water-decals-manicure-p-4915.html">Zipper Water Decals</a> to review. I've seen these around the web so thought I would give them a try myself. I had absolutely no problems creating this look. The nails that show the zipper opening I painted red first. Then I just eyeballed where I thought the zipper openings would be and applied the black. The decals were so easy to maneuver on my nails that I had no problem lining them up. Once they dried I added a top coat. I can not get over how easy it was. <br />

<br />
Today I have a fun review for you. I've seen these around the web and have been dying to try them. <br />
<br />
What better way to try then in a review. I was sent these from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/">Born Pretty</a> . Although I was very intimidated at first they really aren't that hard to do. I chose the blue feathers from the <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/5pcs-fancy-feather-nail-decoration-colors-p-160.html">5 piece fancy feather</a>.<br />
<br />
I was not sure what colour the feathers would look best on so I decided to go skittle with it. I applied the colour base as per usual. Once that dried I used an old top coat that was pretty tacky so the feathers would stick. Very carefully I placed the feather on my nail. Do to the texture I had to top it off with three coats of Seche to get it perfectly smooth. Once that dried I trimmed the ends of the feather as close to the end of my nails as possible. The last little bit I filed off. Voila!<br />
<br />
I really would like to try this with natural looking feathers some time<br />
<br />

I almost don't know what to do with myself when I have four days off<br />
<br />
Today I have a swatch review from <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/">NailPolishCanada</a>. and a magnificent one at that. As most of my followers know I'm a picker! I can't have anything on my nails that are pickable. Well this polish has changed my life. I've only seen positive reviews on this collection. It is a textured matte glitter. The glitter in the polish shines even in the shade which wicked. It was not too textured that I would pick but it was still noticeable. Everyone wanted to touch my nails<br />
<br />
I highly suggest everyone buy a bottle. Follow this <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/products/nyx-textured-matte-glitter-by-zoya.html">link</a> to get it at <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/">NailPolishCanada.com</a> from Your Friendly Neighbourhood Polish People<br />

If possible try to wear something purple in support of epilepsy awareness!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once again I was researching on the web for a subject to write today. Like the dummy I am I decided to read up on epilepsy and mortality. Stupid stupid me! I'm not going to get into that because it's a little too freaky for me. I will however tell one last story about a seizure and a life changing moment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I was around 25 I was having seizures all the time. I've always been very lucky to be around people to take care of me. This has not stopped me from getting black eyes,bloody noes, bumps on the head (broken nails. lol). However I always had someone to take care of me afterwards. This time I was living alone in an apartment. I woke up from a seizure on the floor. I could not move at all and was freezing. There was a carpet on the floor that I was able to pull over me to keep warm. Once I gathered enough strength I was able to crawl across the room to call my mom. Sad huh?</div>
<div>
After that seizure I knew my body could not go through it again. The weirdest feeling I've ever experienced is that calm in knowing that I may not survive the next one.</div>
<div>
Well I didn't have another seizure again for over a year. It was almost like my body was telling my brain, no more, let her rest! I will never forget that feeling for the rest of my life....</div>
<div>

<br />
I was searching the web trying to find something to post for Epilepsy Awareness. Often I come by the subjects of 'epilepsy and creativity' and 'epilepsy and genius'. It's a debate on the genius aspect but as far as creativity there is alot more evidence. <br />
<br />
The best way to describe what is going on in the brain during a seizure is a sort of electrical storm. It's almost as though this electrical activity brings to life or activates parts of the brain. During a seizure you can see how it physically effects the body but it also effects our sense perceptions, memory, emotion, creativity....everything. Many have claimed to see this in themselves and others.<br />
<br />
Someday we will know for sure. It's a fact that a seizure effects the whole brain. Just because we can't see the emotional or sensory effects does not mean they aren't there. <br />
<br />

I found a cool description at <a href="http://www.purpleday.org/">www.purpleday.org/</a> and why lavender is such a perfect fit for those with epilepsy<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #421998; font-family: sans-serif;"><b> The international colour for epilepsy, lavender. The lavender flower is also often associated with solitude, which is representative of the feelings of isolation many people affected by epilepsy and seizure disorders often feel. </b></span><br />

<br />
I've always kept an upbeat attitude about having epilepsy. My family, friends and I joke around about it. We all know the severity but it helps to keep happy!<br />
<br />
This was the first seizure my husband witnessed. It was the morning as most of mine are. I was once again in the bathroom and fell into the hall way. Not only did I fall in to the hall way but also right in to the cats litter box!! It was not so much of a face plant right into it as it was hitting the side and causing it to flip. We joke about it now but at the time he was devastated. I remember waking up on the floor with his head laying right beside me. I was so heartbroken to see him. He had the biggest alligator tears pouring out of his eyes. It was pretty touching to say the least<br />

I decided to leave my thumb out for the day and just show the pictures I've received recently.<br />
<br />
Their is such a huge stigma associated with epilepsy which causes most people affected to keep it to themselves. I wanted to educate people on this but I have to tell you I've been schooled myself :o)<br />
<br />
A lot of the comments people have made are to say they know someone with epilepsy. Not to get mushy or anything but it has touched my heart. I didn't realize how alone I felt about having epilepsy because I have no one to relate to. The fact is I do and they are just in hiding. With the help of all of you were making it known that this is something more common than people think. The misconceptions have to be corrected so none of us have to be embarrassed any longer<br />
<br />
<br />
So thank you to all for opening my eyes that even though I'm not alone I feel alone. So lets change that! This series of awareness posts may not be much....but it something!<br />

We mostly see service dogs working for the blind but service dogs are used for so much more. I remember seeing a seizure response dog shortly after I was diagnosed with epilepsy. At that time I was not a dog lover though....shocking , I know!<br />
<br />
A little short story about my old dog.<br />
<br />
I had a hound mix that would run away if you dropped his leash. It was so annoying but my fancy seizure tricks changed that habit of his! One morning I woke up and was feeling horrible. I looked at my hands and arms and I was all muddy and dirty. I asked my boyfriend what happened and he said I must of had a seizure. Apparently I took my dog outside in the morning had a seizure and got back in somehow. I was amazed that he didn't run away. There was no way I would of held on to his leash. When I felt better I went outside to check it out. It was very apparent where I had it in the snow. There were no paw prints showing him walking away. From that day on he followed me everywhere. I got up, he got up. I went to the bathroom, he came with me. etc. etc. etc<br />
<br />
It's amazing how intuitive our furry friends are. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this thumb I took the inspiration from the vests seizure response dogs where. Typically they are yellow with some holographic pieces.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Story time!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had said I would tell you about a couple seizures I had that have always stood out to me. Today's will be about the very first time I heard my mom say F**K! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm never aware until after my seizure that I've had one. In this one instance I knew it was happening(at least at the beginning). It was the worse feeling I have ever experienced. I was brushing my hair in the bathroom when I felt my body start to shutter. My heart was racing because I had not control over my body. I must of walked out to the hall a bit and fell. That is when I heard my mom drop the F bomb. She then called my brother. I swear I was telling her 'it's okay mommy I will be ok'. (heartbreaking). The next thing I knew I was in my bed. I can't imagine what its like to see a loved one go through something like that. Most of the time it's not me I worry about, it's the people who love me that have to witness it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I received some comments on my last post that some peoples
dogs have epilepsy. I thought I would recognize our four legged buddies.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Apparently canine epilepsy is the most common neurological
disorder in dogs. Studies suggest that nearly 4% of dogs have epilepsy in which
14% of purebreds are affected. I’m not sure how accurate this is but I found it
on a couple different sites.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can’t imagine my dogs having to deal with that. They mean the world to mean and it would crush
me each time they had a seizure. It
kind of brings in to perspective how my parents felt every time I had a
seizure. You just never know what will
happen. I guess you just have to hope for the best and that they will come out of it<o:p></o:p></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">not sure why this picture looks kind of stretched...sorry :oP<br /><br /><br />Information from <a href="http://www.epilepsy.ca/en-CA/Home.html">Epilepsy Canada</a><br /><br /><ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #595959; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Epilepsy is a physical condition characterized by sudden, brief changes in how the brain works. It is a symptom of a neurological disorder - a disorder that affects the brain and shows itself in the form of seizures.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Epilepsy is a disorder, not a disease; it is not contagious.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Approximately 0.6% of the Canadian population has epilepsy. This includes those who take anticonvulsant drugs or who had a seizure within the past 5 years.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Due to the stigma surrounding epilepsy and the prejudice with which society has historically treated people with epilepsy, many with the disorder are reluctant to admit it or to seek treatment. Thus the prevalence of epilepsy is likely much higher.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Each day in Canada, an average of 42 people learn that they have epilepsy.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Each year an average of 15,500 people learn they have epilepsy; 44% are diagnosed before the age of 5, 55% before the age of 10, 75-85% before age 18 and 1% of children will have recurrent seizures before age 14. 1.3% are over the age of 60. This means that about 60% of new patients are young children and senior citizens.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In approximately 50% of cases of childhood epilepsy, seizures disappear completely.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In 50 - 60% of cases, the cause of epilepsy is unknown. In the remainder, the following causes are most common:<ul style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin: 0px 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">brain tumour and stroke</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">head trauma of any type. The more severe the injury, the greater the chance of developing epilepsy</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">injury, infection, or systemic illness of the mother during pregnancy</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">brain injury to the infant during delivery may lead to epilepsy</li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi All<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
March is Epilepsy awareness month here in Canada. Being epileptic myself this year I thought I
would get involved and give back<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve started to volunteer at my local epilepsy support
centre. So far I’ve just started pining
ribbons like the one in my photo. It's harder than you think. The ribbon is really thick!! I plan
on having a pinning party with my family.
There just going to love that!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
March 26<sup>th</sup> is International <a href="http://www.purpleday.org/">Purple Day</a>.
Countries around the world join in
supporting the cause by wearing purple. Upon
my visit to get started with volunteering I learnt that there is something
that totally pertains to me on that day(other than epilepsy) ‘Thumbs up for
Epilepsy Awarness’. All you have to do is paint your thumb purple! Awesome right??<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p> </o:p>For the next month I will only be posting purple manicures
along with some Epilepsy facts and maybe some stories. I have not decided if I will
be taking full manicure pictures or just thumbs. Suggestions?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>What I ask of you is to
paint your nails (or thumbs) purple and send me a pick at <a href="mailto:nailnarcotics@gmail.com">nailnarcotics@gmail.com</a>. As I get them I will post within my daily
posts. If you have a link to a blog or facebook page I will make sure to add
it. <o:p></o:p></b></div>

<br />
The other day when I was at Shopper's Drug Mart I spotted this polish in the clearance bin. I absolutely love this colour. It's Nicole by OPI 'All Kendall-ed Up'. Another polish from the Kardashian line. Although I'm not a fan of the Kardashian's I love the polishes.<br />
<br />
For this look I used my dotter to create a gradient polka dot effect. I'm in a bright colour nail polish mood lately. It makes me smile and think of summer.<br />

<br />
Daisy from <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">Born Pretty Store</a> had me choose some more product to review. I decided to go a little crazy (for me) and review <a href="http://www.bornprettystore.com/swarovski-flatback-clear-crystal-2058-nail-p-2154.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Swarovski Flatback Clear Crystals</a>. Due to me being a picker I rarely use nail art that can easily be picked off. Good news though...I didn't pick these off! They were itty bitty which is great for me. After awhile I didn't even realize they were on there.<br />
<br />
I don't have a special picker upper for placing these on my nails. What I do is dip an orange stick in a little bit of top coat, let it dry for a couple seconds then use it to pick up the stones. It works pretty darn good! <br />
<br />
If your interested in buying some of these yourself please feel free to use my coupon code <a href="http://bornprettystore.com/" target="_blank">NADL91</a> to receive 10% off. You can also find this code on my side bar<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I haven't posted a Julep box in a while now. Truth be told I skipped a couple. I've not been a fan of the finishes in the past couple months(crackle, suede etc.). I like to stick with plain old creme finish nail polish</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I went with the 'It Girl' box because they said there was a holographic. Awesome right?!...not so much</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">It claims 'Rebel' is a sliver holographic. When I think of holographic I'm thinking </span><a href="http://nailnarcotics.blogspot.ca/search/label/Nfu%20Oh" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;" target="_blank">Nfu Oh</a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"> I felt kind of cheated. I totally disagree that this is a holographic</span><br />

When I bought my first set of brushes I did not have a clue what it was meant for...and probably still don't.<br />
During my hiatus I still checked out blogs and noticed this done a couple times. This was my first attempt and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I probably used 5 different blue polishes and one white to complete this look. When I put on the top coat it almost created a water colour look.<br />
Very easy peasy. Just dip the brush in the polish and swipe across the nail.<br />

I'm planning on doing this again soon. Maybe with a little crazier colours.NailNarcoticshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01266637540275901179noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488931640408008346.post-91066409055141632012013-02-20T05:29:00.000-08:002013-02-20T05:29:32.790-08:00Snow Globe Pool Party! NailPolishCanada.com ReviewGood morning all<br />
<br />
Today I have another review for you from <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/" target="_blank">NailPolishCanada.com</a>. I will be showing you both China Glaze <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/products/snow-globe-by-china-glaze.html" target="_blank">Snow Globe</a> and <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/products/pool-party-by-china-glaze.html" target="_blank">Pool Party</a>. <br />
<br />
To start off I want you to take note that my photos in no way capture the colour of Pool Party. I tried inside photos and out. Nothing seemed to work. As I'm writing this post I'm thinking that maybe I should have played around with the white balance. Does anyone else have problems capturing neons? <br />
<br />
I finally just decided to post it along with a picture from their website. The bottle is true to the colour. <br />

<br />
The lovely James at <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/" target="_blank">Nail Polish Canada</a> has sent me a couple polishes to review. The polish of the day is China Glaze <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/products/for-audrey-by-china-glaze.html" target="_blank">'For Audrey'</a>. I actually already had a bottle of this. That alone says how awesome it is ;)<br />
<br />
If you have not checked out <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/" target="_blank">nailpolishcanada.com</a> I highly suggest you do. They have a very wide variety of polish and nail art. The first time I came across the website I was actually Googling other Canadian nail polish bloggers. I'm so happy I found them. I'm a sucker for Canadian businesses. When I can purchase within my own country that's a big bonus. The customer service is amazing as well. They are so quick to get back to you with any questions or concerns. Nothing drives me more crazy than having to wait days and days for someone to get back to you. It's no wonder their slogan is 'Your Friendly Neighbourhood Polish People'.<br />
<br />
If you do not already have a bottle of China Glaze <a href="http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/products/for-audrey-by-china-glaze.html" target="_blank">'For Audrey'</a> I suggest you get on it. It's one of those must have polishes. Only two coats required! The application is amazing<br />
After swatching the polish(see below) I decided to give ring finger a little kick. I used my dotter(also purchased at NailPolishCanada) to create a fun little design. Hope you like!<br />
