hello hello!

i'm still on my vacation in San Diego right now.....

Hey everyone! So I'm back for another post. I'm not sure how familiar you are with Konad Stamping, but when I first heard of it I thought it was the most amazing product. Flawless pictures can be stamped onto the nail in a matter of seconds to create wonderful nail art!

Anyway, the first time I heard of this product was last year when I was at PNE. They sold the basic kit for approx $30 or so and I thought that was totally ridiculous. It came with 2 or 3 bottles of Konad Stamping nail polish and they told me that the nail polish that comes with it is especially thick in order to create smudge-less images. I couldn't fork out that kind of money at the time, so I passed and then later purchased individual plates online (along with a scraper and stamper, of course). Since then I have been using my own "normal" nail polish to do the stamping. I do have a bottle of dark blue nail polish from many years ago when my brother bought it to fix this scratch on his badminton racquet (or so he says...) and that one worked the best since it had thickened over the years.

My boyfriend has been telling me about this TV show called "The Shopping Bag" or something and they do reviews on different products. I never watched this show before, but they apparently got canceled not too long ago (?). Either way, their website is still up and I took a look at their nail polish reviews. I wasn't going to repeat their nail polish review, but they had a warning on the web page telling you not to put your nail polish into the refrigerator because that can thicken it and you would not be able to apply it directly to your nails anymore. This was perfect! That's exactly what I want! So I put my nail polish in the fridge a couple days ago, I haven't checked back since then, but I will let you know what happened once I do.

Let me know if you have tried this before. I'm really curious on your thoughts about this. Also, have you ever purposely tried to thicken your nail polish? What did you do/use?

I had china glaze atlantis on for a while then I decided that before it grows out or chips I would layer emerald sparkle on top. so this is the result:

I think it looks like a green special edition china glaze glitter
here's normal atlantis. I apoligize for the ugly pic. the picture doesn't do atlantis justice.


After taking the pictures, I clipped my nails really short.
I am going to San diego for 2 weeks and will be surfing and scuba diving so I thought that having longer nails while doing such physical activity would most likely result in breaking and I really want to avoid that so clipped short it was.

1. Glitter gradient
* avon mirror shine glisten on the tips
* cover girl disco dazzle* sally hansen celeb city



2. I have been wearing this all week. Claire's calm/ wild. Best color ever!!!
everyone needs to get this color now!!!! ( I apologize for the cuticles =[ )
besides the fact that it changes color with temperate....the texture/ color is awesome. It dries matte, I added essie matte about you on top it make it even more matte and now it looks like a suede.


btw the weirdest thing happened the other day...a duck flew into my backyard. Ducks are very very uncommon in my backyard so I was really surprised when it flew in. I took some pictures

Hello Everyone!

My name is Juli and I'm a small author on this blog alongside with Li Lian. I'm currently in nursing school, and we're not allowed to wear nail polish to the hospital, which is why I don't have as much to contribute.

I'm also a big Canucks fan, but I currently don't any dark blue or green nail polish on me to do as wonderful job as Li Lian did to cheer them on. In addition to Canucks, I'm also a big Lady Gaga fan! I bought this silver nail polish some time ago because I thought I could use it for stamping. Unfortunately, it seems to be too thin to stamp. The first time I applied silver nail polish on my nail, it just looked too strange (like I was a bionic woman or something). Today, after my last exam this morning, I decided to be adventurous. Put them on and leave them on!

As I was applying it, it just kept on reminding me of Lady Gaga. So I decided to name this nail art "do" as "What Would Gaga Do?" And so what do you think Gaga would do? Stars? Red stars? I THINK SO!!!

so i'm from Vancouver and hockey is big big BIG here. so..........our hockey team the Vancouver Canucks made it into the second round of hockey playoffs.....and I decided to needed to do a mani for them.

so we have the jersey:



our mascot is the fin the killer whale

soo.. jersey + fin =




muwhahaha =)

i've got a new camera so i'm hoping to get some really nice nail photos soon! yay

anyways since my nails are naked right now I thought I would post a few pictures that I took from a nail book. I just thought it was neat to drill a hole in your nail and screw in a diamond or a nail shield into it. it's interesting. I don't think you could not do this on natural nails, it would definitely weaken your nails.
1. drilling2. screw in diamond3. or screw in nail shield


rather neat eh?




oh btw i'll be having a giveaway and everyone who is a follower gets triple entries!! yay!!
