Oranges, Lemons, and Coconuts

As soon as summer comes around all I can think about is lying on a beach some where.
I plan grand getaways in my head and think about all the possibilities.
I picture myself lounging on a chaise looking out at a crystal blue ocean and
feeling my body soak in the sun. And of course, I'd have a big old cocktail.

Hey all!
Hope you've had a good week.
If not, well, hopefully some nail art and a bit of music will cheer you up.

& here's a band I've recently discovered.
This is probably my favourite song from the album. 

I love to zone out to this and go for a walk.

Barry Fruit Gradient

Hello there!
Today I have another Barry M mani to share with you guys.
But! As awesome as this mani turned out there were definitely mishaps while I was trying to finish.
Originally I was wanting to do a tape manicure but then I came to discover that I had no tape. After deciding on a new direction and doing my base colour I accidentally spilled my gigantic glass of water all. over. my desk. But it wasn’t just my desk (because you know this would have had to have happened to someone else for it to only affect my glass desk). It was my papers, my slippers, my mom’s slippers, my carpet, my fan, and, the cherry on top, my phone. And of course I messed up a bunch of my nails because they weren’t completely dry yet. Once I’d sunk my phone into a bowl of rice and cleaned up what I could I got this manicure started and got back on track. Here's what I came up with:





I should also mention that as I was moving a chair my lap top charger got caught in the legs and my lap top came crashing down off my desk.
But don’t worry – I caught it. Basically it’s a miracle that this post is even up.
 






This time around I used Barry M in Lychee, Papaya, & Dragonfruit.
I love how these colours pop and really make a statement. Fruity wonderfulness.



So what do you think? Was this mani worth all the hassle I had to go through? Let me know!
That’s it for now friends. Hope you have a great Sunday!

Much love, D

Holographic Divergence

Hey all!

Hope everyone's week is going well. 

I'm assuming most of you are counting down to Easter weekend just like I am. 

I'll be getting fat all weekend but that's okay. 

Easter is like Christmas for my family. Except there's no presents.

When you get down to it the presents aren't really what Christmas is about (or so they say). 

But I did cheat a little though...I got myself a present. 

I ordered 3 of the new Color Club Holographic polishes last week 

and they arrived a few days ago so I had to try them out.

I had seen In Jeeb We Trust do a divergence manicure (this one) that 

was inspired by another blogger's post (seen here). 

I decided to run with this awesome technique and use my new polishes. 

I used all three of my new holos.
From left to right Miss Bliss, Eternal Beauty, & Cosmic Fate.
All it took was some tape and a little patience.
But not too much patience!
These polishes have an awesome super fast drying time.

I'm so glad I ended up trying this technique because
the results are totally worth the minimal effort I had to put in. 

It was really hard to capture just how holographic these polishes
are but trust me, these are AMAZEBALLS in the sun.
I think my favourite of the 3 polishes is Cosmic fate (bottle below).
I've never seen a colour quite like this and I was so 

happy it looked better than it did in the bottle.

But who am I kidding, I love all of them!
So perfect for the warmer weather we've been having lately.
I'll have to be careful when I go on my bike ride that I don't get distracted by the awesome glimmer.

That's all for now friends!
Next post is likely to be up Sunday afternoon.
Until next time.

Hockey Night Gradient

Hey! 

So I've had an awesome last few days. I had a great anniversary 

with my boyfriend (5 years!!) and then over the 

weekend I did a little shopping and went to a hockey game.

 I recently bought OPI - I Saw..You Saw.. We Saw.. Warsaw

 from OPI's newest collection and I figured the hockey game

 would be a good time to pull it out since 

 the team I support has blue jerseys.

 I ended up deciding to do a gradient which ended 

up looking more aztec-y and dip dye-ish (totally not words..) 

but! It turned out alright. Super easy too!

I paired Warsaw with Zoya - Charlize.

Right hand..

Left hand..

Let me know what you think below!
My next mani will be a fun one.
I'm going out with InJeebWeTrust and we decided to theme our nails.
That's all the info you're getting for now since I don't want to give too much away.
Post should be up Friday if all goes as planned.

P.S. Here's a partial outfit post from what I wore out to dinner.
I say partial because I was stupid and didn't take the photo
with my shoes or leather jacket on. Oh well.
If you like the idea of more outfit posts let me know
because if there's a demand I'll definitely
do more AND I'll do a better job. I swear.

Have an awesome week!

December Nails 2012 Theme 10: Water Marble

Hey Lovelies.

Remember when I left one theme open for you guys?
Well I decided to go with water marble and to see what I could do with it.
Personally I love the result. The colours really work nice together and I love that each finger is unique.

Let me know what you think!
