Nicole Diary Water Decals Review

*Products provided for review*

Hello again!

It's been a long time since I wrote a blog post.

I've mainly been focusing on IG (@dagadelic) and FB (@dagadelic).

But! I received some items for review from Nicole Diary and
figured it would be best to compile all the photos in one spot.
This post is a bit picture heavy so get ready!

Green Tea

Hey there!

So last week I had the most desperate desire for high tea.

I knew that there was only one person who would truly understand so

I hit up Gee from In Jeeb We Trust, and we decided to try out a

new spot rather than our usual hideout on Main Street.

And how was it? Well it was quite possibly the girliest place I've ever been to.

Pink everything. Soft music. The most precious tea set with all the right accessories.

And the food was seriously outstanding. Best cucumber sandwich I've ever had in my life!

If you live in Vancity and love a unique tea experience definitely try out Patisserie Fur Elise.

Then take photos and share them and make me insanely jealous.

Now onto the manicure I wore!

Mother’s Day Mani 2013

Hey friends!
So yesterday was Mother’s Day and of course I have some themed nails to show you.
But I actually wanted to do something a little different for this post.
Instead of making it all about me I’m making it (mostly) about my mama.

Normally I paint my mom’s nails whenever she asks me to, but it’s usually kept to just a couple coats of whichever one of my polishes she’s been eyeing (aka no nail art). This year I decided that part of my gift to her was to not only paint her nails but to make it a little more special. I asked her to choose colours – she asked for purple and yellow. Then she specifically asked for flowers before I could even mention options. So I obliged but I kicked it up a couple notches just to give it that extra your-daughter-is-obviously-awesome-and-loves-you-very-much glow.

So here they are (& many thanks to my lovely model):

I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri – Raspberry Race (why don’t we pronounce the “p” in that?) as my base. For the yellow/orange flowers I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear – Mellow Yellow & Wet n’ Wild Wild Shine – Sunny Side Up. For the pink flowers I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri – Fuchsia Flare & OPI – Kiss Me On My Tulips. At the center of each flower I dabbed Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure – Golden Rule. (Can you tell I love Sally Hansen polishes?)

So what do you think? Let me know below.

Of course the most important person in all this is my mama.
Thankfully she was really happy with them. While I painted we drank tea and watched 1952’s The Snows of Kilimanjaro staring Gregory Peck, Susan Hayward, & Ava Gardner.
I love watching old movies with my mum. I get swept up in the music and the dramatic acting.
I wish people still swooned in movies.
(I also wish I was always surrounded by soft lighting and that my lipstick was always impeccable. A girl can dream.)

Well that’s all for now everyone! Next up will likely be my attempt at a tutorial as I have to do one for the 7 Deadly Sins Challenge. We’ll see how that one goes…

Logan + Birthdays

Hey everyone!

Yesterday was my boyfriend's birthday and we're continuing the celebration tonight so I knew I needed to do a special mani for the weekend.

I asked him for inspiration and all I got was that he wanted me to use my Zoya - Logan since it shares his name. I was left on my own after that. 

Logan is a beautiful deep shade of green with lots and lots of gold and light green sparkle.
I spent a lot of time just trying to figure out what colours I should accent it with because I really did NOT want it to go Christmas-y.
I ended up pulling out my dotting tools and doing a side french in 2 colours: Wet n Wild Fast Dry - Silvivor and Wet n Wild Megalast - Bird Bath.
Take a look see and let me know what you think!
