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!

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

Brain Algae

Hey all!

First off before I get into the nails I just have to share a super cool documentary I watched.

The Red Queen - A Mayan Mystery

Part 1 // Part 2

If you love a great story and have a deep fascination with ancient cultures like I do then this is a must watch.
It's pretty fucking cool to learn about some bad ass Mayan ladies.

Now my nails!

Neon Rain

Down on the West Coast...

we've been having a heat wave.

And, literally, if you're not drinking then you're not playing.

I've been guzzling down water like nobodies business.

I've had the side effects of heat stroke before and let's just say it ain't fun.

I've been craving a stampacure and when I saw the little rain droplets 

on my MoYou London plate I just knew I had to use them.

Orange Blossoms

Hello again!

Today I have a nature inspired look that popped into my head while I was browsing through my stash.

There's nothing like a fun floral mani to get me in the mood for summer.

Geometric City

Hey everyone!
I've been feeling really creative as of late so I wanted to make a look with some impact.
Coincidentally there is a MoYou challenge going on through Instagram and I most definitely
had to enter. So here's my entry for Day 10: Geometric.

& The After... 

Model City - Wanna Be Your Boyfriend // Zoya - Blu // MoYou - Suki Plate 06

I was really happy I didn't use just a plain old white to stamp.

I think Blu just adds a bit of something else.

So what do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Easter 2014

Hey friends!

So I skipped the last two blogging days because of Easter weekend.
4 days of eating and cooking and cleaning and family can really take it out of you.
 But to make up for it I have another 2 in 1 post to share!

-------------------------------------

Easter Marble

Barry M. - Greenberry // Zoya - Blu // Models Own - Banana Split

 I wore this look for half of the weekend.

I wanted to emulate Easter eggs so I made each digit different.
The art was free handed and then I water marbled.
Banana Split was a bit too watery for free handing but I made it work.

 Am I the only one who finds water marbling extremely laborious?
So many things can go wrong. There's always a mess.
Thankfully I got a great tip from In Jeeb We Trust who said using a shot glass would help.
& it totally did! I mean making a mess while water marbling is basically unavoidable
 but it really brought it to a minimum. The pattern was also a lot easier to create.

-------------------------------------

Ola Flynn

Zoya - Flynn // Enchanted Polish - Ola Rio!

For the second half of my weekend I wanted to keep it simpler because
 I just did not have the energy to do anything too involved. So I came up with this combo.

The shift in Ola Rio! is so amazing. Bronze, gold, AND purple.

 Below is a bit of a blurry picture but you can see the purple peeking through.

-------------------------------------

So that's what I wore all weekend on my digits.
Hopefully you had a great weekend.
Next post will be Friday!

Purple Reign

Hey there! 

Hope you're having better weather than I am wherever you are. 

Honestly, the rain doesn't bother me. I live in Vancouver. It comes with the territory.

I was just fooled by the few pretty days we had into thinking that Spring was Summer.

So to help brighten up this dreary day I wanted to share
another 2 in 1 post featuring two looks using my favourite colour - purple. 

----------------------------------

The Rich Love Diamonds

Zoya - Aurora // Essie - Set in Stones

This manicure was so simple but I loved it so so much.

Aurora is holographic bliss and I love this Essie glitter topper.

Like diamond snowflakes. 

----------------------------------

The Royal Wave

Sephora X - Fierce // Maybelline - Bold Gold

MoYou - Suki Collection 05

I haven't done all that much stamping lately but I just knew this combo was worth it.
Once I tried it on one finger I wanted it on every digit. 

I was really pleased with the overall effect. 

----------------------------------

Let me know what you think! 

Have a great weekend everyone.

xo, D.
