Have you seen the upcoming ILNP collection for Fall 2014?

It is freaking fragging amazing. Google it. You won't regret it.

I've been drooling over the swatches so I just had to use my one and only ILNP.
Here's a few swatches before the magic happened!

ILNP - Kings & Queens

Penguin Parade

Last time I showed you a glitter topper from Firecracker Lacquer.

Today I've got one of her amazing holographics!

B&A: Model City - PB & J

Hey all!

Remember a few posts ago when I said I'd share the other half of my recent Model City purchase?

Well here she is - PB & J

Turquoise Addict

Hey all!

So I'm pretty ecstatic that Summer has finally arrived.

I get to wear cute dresses and my awesome tribal print shorts and I can
leave my bulky-but-oh-so-comfy-and-warm-sweaters at home.

And you know what else? It's the perfect season for holos!

Meringue Love

Hey all!

Quick post today (which should have been Friday's post but I left without hitting Publish >.< 

And then I was busy all weekend and didn't get to the computer until late last night. 

Oops. At least now I'm an extra post ahead.... (⌒▽⌒)   )  

featuring a look that was inspired by this manicure by The Nailasaurus. 

I loved the hooded nails so I wanted to give it a go.

Palace Typography

Hey there!

Not much to babble about today so we're just going to get into the good stuff right away.

I decided to make another entry into the MoYou Instagram challenge, so here's my entry for Day 23 - Typography.

A England - King Arthur // A England - Sleeping Palace

A England - Jane Eyre // MoYou - Suki 05 // Essie - Set in Stones

Keeping with the literary theme I decided to pick polishes with some literary history behind them
(excluding Set in Stones - that was just for some sparkle). I love the contrast between King Arthur and Sleeping Palace.
Silver and purple were made for each other. I also think King Arthur and Aurora would get along.
She needed a hero and he had a table full of them. 

As soon as I saw the list of themes I knew I had to use this pattern from my Suki 05 plate. To be honest I never saw myself
using it before but I think it really works with this look. I think it looks like ancient scripture.

So that's it for today! 

Let me know what you think.

Blue Lagoon

Hey friends! Happy Monday.

It's a long weekend here in beautiful British Columbia.

Yesterday I went out for a hike with my parents and took in some mother nature at Rice Lake. 

When I was younger I had a passion for climbing rocks and traversing ravens.
I can clearly remember climbing up a huge stack of rocks to get to a small little island while my granny freaked out.
I don't do it as much now but the need to go on long walks and discover new places has never left.
 I'm always trying to discover a new place in this city. 

Joe Fresh - Lagoon // Nothern Lights Holographic Topcoat

O.P.I - Matte Top Coat // Fadzone Nail Art Decoration 

I was immediately smitten with this polish. 3 thin easy coats and it was perfect.

I was expecting a lighter blue but this was so much better. And I love the name!

I ordered this great pack of 1200 simple nail art decorations (you can find them here)
and I wanted to compare the ivory and white pearls. To add a bit more whimsy I also added a cute little bow. 

Feel free to leave your comments below!

I'm off now to meet up with my favourite guy and to enjoy what's left of this weekend.

See you Friday.

Gypsy Acid Cats

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.
