These are a few nail polishes that I love to wear during this time of year. From left to right Essie's "Sand Tropez, Nicole by O.P.I's "Show Your Care", Essie's "Glamour Purse", and finally Revlon's "Bold Sangria". I love the colours of these nail polishes but also how easy it is to apply them.

I Finally Did Nail Art!
(Try to ignore the weird discolouration on my thumb.) |
I finally did it, I accomplished nail art! I'm aware it looks really simple but it was quite complicated. So I based it off this nail tutorial on YouTube (click here if you want to watch). I first applied Sally Hansen's Lacey Lilac then with a Q-Tip I applied Nicole by O.P.I's Positive Energy. To finish it off I applied a top coat by Sula. I also came to a conclusion that before you start doing nail art make sure you can open the nail polish bottle you want to use next because I couldn't get some open so I had to change which colour I was going to use. Then again, maybe that's just my weak self.

Spring Nail Polish
These are some nail polishes that I plan to wear a lot this spring. Here are their names from left to right; Sally Hansen's Lacey Lilac, Revlon's Jaded, Essie's Guchi Muchi Puchi, Nicole by O.P.I.'s Rich In Spirit, and L'oreal's Party Hop. I love the pastel tones excluding the blue one of course. The thing they all have in common is the bright fun effect the spring gives off.

No Snowflake Is Like The Other
I watched this snowflake nail tutorial on YouTube and I thought it looked so cool. It was on the beauty guru's channel Macbarbie07. I decided to try it out.
It doesn't look amazing but I think it still looks pretty cool because realistically no snowflake is the same.
To do this I used the polishs "Teal The Cows Come Home" by O.P.I (for the base colour), "Rich In Spirit" (for a glittery base colour), and "Positive Energy" (for the snowflakes) both by Nicole by O.P.I.
In the video she used a thin nail brush to create the snowflakes but I just used a thin paint brush and it worked alright but I don't think the paint brush will be usable again.
If you want to try and create this nail look you can watch the video here.

Favourite Fashion Apps
I know I did something like this already but I thought I'd do an updated version of my favourite fashion/beauty apps. The Nicole by O.P.I app is really good 'cause you can view all their colours so when you're buying nail polish you can know what you're looking for. Go Try It On is really fun because you can post pictures of your outfit and have people vote on if they like it. I find the Sephora app extremely helpful because you can view all their products. I take a screen shot of the products I like so when I'm in the store I can ask for exactly what I'm looking for. The final app is Pose which is a lot like twitter but instead of being about your life it's about clothes and such. I love all of these apps 'cause they're all free but have great quality.

Red And Crackling
I've heard a lot about these crackle nail polishes and today I finally tried them out. My little sister wants to dress up as a vampire for Halloween so she got some crackle nail polish. She was gonna get black but there wasn't any at Shoppers so she just got the red. My sister never normally wears nail polish so after Halloween it's officially mine. I decided to test it out for her before then though and I think it's so cool.
This crackle nail polish is Nicole by O.P.I and is part of their Texture line. It isn't marketed as crackle but it's the same thing. Normally Nicole has really cool names for their colours but this one is just called Red Texture.
First I applied the silver colour Positive Energy and then after it dried I applied the texture coat. It's an easy way to get a great looking nail but you have to remember to put the texture on without overlapping it 'cause then it doesn't work as well.
P.S. I took all these pictures with wet nails and didn't chip them.

Polish At Random
Today I couldn't seem to find anything to post about so I randomly chose 2 polishes that I hadn't posted about yet. Both of these polishes have a great sparkle in them and both work really well. The lavender coloured one is by L'oreal and is in the colour Party Hop. With this polish you have to put on 2 coats if you really want the purple to show but if you just want a nice sparkle you only have to apply 1. The green one is Nicole by O.P.I and it's in the colour Make Mine Lime. The same goes with the coats on this polish. I don't apply this polish often 'cause it's a bit hard to find an outfit that goes with it. So ya, these are my random polishes.

The Future Is Blue and Shiny
You know what would be a cool job, getting to name the colour of nail polish. It would probably be really fun 'cause anything sorta goes. For example I have a polish called "Guchi Muchi Puchi". The name makes it really weird when someone asks you what colour you're wearing 'cause you have to reply with that. So after I got that I'm always expecting something really strange but when I got this blue sparkly Nicole by O.P.I. polish the name was completely normal. It was called "Rich In Spirit" which is nice but not out of the ordinary. I would have called it something like "Blue Robot" or "The Future Is Blue". None the less it's an extraordinary polish because the colour is great and it goes on really well which probably has something to do with the new perfect stroke brush they added to this polish. So the name might not be out of this world but the rest of it really is.

The Nail Polish Rainbow
I'm a big fan of nail polish because it's a whole other way to add to your outfit. I'm also a big fan of Shoppers Drug Mart because they have a large selection of really cool beauty products so while I was out shopping I found a few really daring nail polish colours that I think must be shared. ( Sorry the picture quality isn't so good, I was taking the shots from my i-Pod touch. )
I find this Nicole nail polish has a really rich colour but also looks really fun.
This sparkly gold colour screams "look at me" but in a good way.
I had to add this pic because I just love all of these colours!
