Zipper Water Decals-BornPretty review

Hey Kids!

Today I have a review for you from Born Pretty.  This is by far the most fun I have had doing a review.  It was a blast doing this mani.

I was sent Zipper Water Decals 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.

What do you guys think?  I highly suggest purchasing a set of the  Zipper Water Decals.  FUN! FUN! FUN!

5 Piece Fancy Feather nail art-Born Pretty Review

Happy Friday to all!

Today I have a fun review for you. I've seen these around the web and have been dying to try them.

What better way to try then in a review.  I was sent these from Born Pretty .  Although I was very intimidated at first they really aren't that hard to do.  I chose the blue feathers from the 5 piece fancy feather.

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!

I really would like to try this with natural looking feathers some time

Zoya Pixie Dust -Nyx NailPolishCanada.com review

I hope all of you got to enjoy a nice long Easter weekend.  I almost don't know what to do with myself when I have four days off

Today I have a swatch review from NailPolishCanada. 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

I highly suggest everyone buy a bottle. Follow this link to get it at NailPolishCanada.com from Your Friendly Neighbourhood Polish People

This polish came highly recommended by James at NailPolishCanada.  In fact he gave me a big thumbs up on it.  Here's to you James!

A Scary Calm-Epilepsy Awareness

Tomorrow is Purple Day!!! If possible try to wear something purple in support of epilepsy awareness!

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.

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?

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.

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....

Today the lovely Jacki from Adventures in Acetone sent me her purple mani.  I have to say this girl seems sooooo sweet.  I'm sure you all are following her already but if not....you should! She is so talented and she makes the cutest nails.  I love her There's a zoo on my nails mani

Epilepsy & Creativity- Epilepsy Awareness Month

Happy Friday folks!

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.

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.

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.

Head on over to Nicole Gets Nailed to see her weekly purple post in support of ME :)  Ya just gotta love this girl!

Lavender Ribbon- Epilepsy Awarness

As most of you have probably noticed all of my awareness posts have been me holding a lavendar ribbon. I found a cool description at www.purpleday.org/ and why lavender is such a perfect fit for those with epilepsy

 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.

I have yet another purple mani from Pierced Polished and Probably Geeky

Thank you!
