Snow Globe Pool Party! NailPolishCanada.com Review

Good morning all

Today I have another review for you from NailPolishCanada.com. I will be showing you both China Glaze Snow Globe and  Pool Party.

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?

 I finally just decided to post it along with a picture from their website.  The bottle is true to the colour.

Pool Party is an extremely eye catching neon pink.  I received so many compliments on it.  It screams summer time.  Every time I looked at my nails it made me so happy. If only the weather can catch up with my nails. The below picture shows the polish without a topcoat.  As most neons are its a matte finish

Snow Globe is a beautiful iridescent glitter. I only had to use one coat to get the below look.  I also added a topcoat to Pool Party in the below pictures.  I can't help it I really need that shine

NailPolishCanada review -China Glaze 'For Audrey'

REVIEW DAY!!!!

The lovely James at Nail Polish Canada has sent me a couple polishes to review.  The polish of the day is China Glaze 'For Audrey'.  I actually already had a bottle of this. That alone says how awesome it is ;)

If you have not checked out nailpolishcanada.com 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'.

If you do not already have a bottle of China Glaze 'For Audrey' I suggest you get on it.  It's one of those must have polishes.  Only two coats required! The application is amazing
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!

Stamped Graple Marble Dots

I had no idea what the post title should be for this.  The only thing that came to mind was Stamped Graple Marble Dots!  I bet this name hasn't been used before.

For this look I used about five different purple polishes.  Basically its just dots on top of dots on top of dots.  I used stamp BM-203 from my new stamping plates I purchased from Nail Polish Canada.  I'm so happy they sell Bundle Monster now.  I'm considering to ask Nail Polish Canada to go steady ;)

I topped it off with my first bottle of Seche Vite top coat(also purchased at Nail Polish Canada).  I really like the effect that came out.  Kind of looks like purple marble to me.

Salon Express.....here is where we part ways...

You heard it! I don't know why I keep trying with these plates. I think I like the simple single designs. That way I have freedom to place them anywhere on my nails.  Unfortunately they are crap.....  I'm having a hard time throwing them out though. I have both Konad and Bundle Monster so I don't know why I hold on to them.

I should be getting my new set of Bundle Monster plates on Monday from Nail Polish Canada.  I'm being very impatient about it.  I just love the look of stamps. Especially when its a pattern that covers the entire nail. 

Any who the full nail is in Revlon's 'Vixen'.  This is what made this picture worth posting. It's a gorgeous deep burgundy wine colour.  Perfect for fall!

Peace out!

Dotticure!

I really love this manicure.  The pictures don’t do it justice.  It was rainy and clouded over yesterday so these were the best pictures I could get. (I really need to make that light box)

 I was so excited to play with my new dotters I got in from Nail Polish Canada.  Now I have ten different sizes of dotters!!! It was like Christmas morning! 

I started off with two coats of Orly’s ‘Decades of Dysfunction’.  I’m really liking this polish as a blank canvas when doing nail art.  It’s very subtle and work appropriate.  For the dots I worked my way down from largest to smallest making sure not pass the middle of my finger nails both at tip and cuticle.  As I applied I tried to keep it in a half moon shape. 

What do you guys think? I know I’m pretty proud of myself :o)

Striping Tape!!!

I just wanted to write a quick post before I head off to bed :o)  I received my order in today from Nail Polish Canada.  What did I get?  Well I decided to get some striping tape(and maybe a little more).  I've seen it on some blogs and really liked the looks created with it. 
Below is my first attempt.  My mind has been all over the place with our upcoming move so I was lacking in ideas. I can ensure you I will make up for it!

I used two coats of Quo's 'Filthy Rich'.  The striping tape is incredibly easy to use.  I just laid it on the nail and trimmed off any excess. 

I took this picture inside with my camera minus a flash :oP  The polish had a much better glimmer in person. Once I get settled in to my new place I will attempt making a light box.....key word.....attempt

NIGHT NIGHT, DON'T LET THE BED BUGS BITE!!!
