Acrylic heart nails + more more more Canuck nails

Saturday, June 11, 2011 Category : , , , , , , , 8


 A while back I wanted to go all crazy on my nails so I decided to try out another acrylic mold that bornprettystore.com sent me. 

First,l I did my background design, which is a white base (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On) and  silver stripes.  The silver stripes were stamped with the Bundle Monster Image plate #20 (silver is china glaze millenium).  The stripe design from the Bundle Monster image plate is my all time favorite design.  It just always looks awesome.

 By the way, this is the longest my nails have ever been...hehe
So, after a few days I decided to try the acrylic mold bornprettystore.com sent me for review.  

 I put in some acrylic powder, let it dry and popped out the hearts. Then I stuck them to my nail using clear nail polish (Seche vite)..and Bam!

 

 
The 3d hearts ended up bugging me a few days later so I removed them..the acrylic hearts really stayed on my nails and did not budge.

So..the Vancouver Canucks hockey team are in the Stanley cup playoffs...AWESOME!!!  I decorated my office with Canucks posters..hehehe...My supervisor is a Pittsburg Penguins fan and he sits beside me so everday he comes into the office and looks like this  (-__-)



 These are the current nails I am rocking right now:



OPI Jade is the new black
NYC skin tight denim

Sidenote: Did you guys know that Bornprettystore.com is now selling replicate konad image plates for $2.32 a plate?  or you can get a set of 16 plates for $16.32 .  Free shipping too! That is a crazy deal since I usually get my konad image plate for $6.99 + tx + Canada shipping which is usually $6.99. 

I'm getting my hands on a set of these plates to try out and compare with my konad ones. 

I have a 10% off code for bornprettystore.com, it is SWNAIL.  I believe that you get 10% off and a free keychain flashlight.  I don't get paid or get points if you use this code.  It's just a nice code for you guys to use.

Wedding inspired nails

Sunday, April 10, 2011 Category : , , , , 12

I bought China Glaze White Cap the other day from ebay. I applied it on my nails and I loved loved loved it. I really like the gold micro glimmer/ shimmer, I think that it is a very classy color. 


This is 3 coats.

 I wanted to spice it up so I decided to try my hand at doing wedding inspired nails since I can totally imagine someone wearing White Cap to a wedding.

So I used the following:




And BAM!  we have this:




So what do you think?   

*I used an arcylic mold to make the 3D flower on my ring finger.
*Seche Vite is the best top coat EVER for making sure 3D things stay on your nails. When I put on the silver balls/ rhinestones on my nails fall off the next day or they just don't stick to my nails at all, but with the Seche Vite top coat, the silver balls don't even budge.


The larger rhinestone disc was provided to me by bornprettystore.com for review.  The smaller disc of rhinestones I bought off ebay.  I just wanted to let you know that I was pleasantly surprised with the bornprettystore clear rhinestones having a rainbow AB tint to them. The rhinestones I bought off ebay are just clear, the bornpretty ones have a rainbow sheen to them (you can see the rainbow sheen to them better on my nail pictures).


Oh yes, I just wanted to let you guys know that I have a 10% off coupon code for bornprettystore.com, it is: SWNAIL


Disclaimer - The acrylic mold, half pearls, large rhinestone disc was sent to me for review by bornprettystore.com with no payment. My opinion is an honest one.  The silver and gold balls, the small rhinestone disc, and the konad image plate was purchased by myself.

Another Viva La nails review and some thoughts about life

Tuesday, November 16, 2010 Category : , , , , , , , 6

Hi Darlings!

Today is going to be a very long post so sit down and grab some popcorn =)..or nuts..or whatever you like to munch on..I like gummy bears.


I’m going to start out with something light:

Nail review on viva la nails rhinestone stickers 

I stuck them on with tweezers and then applied a top coat.  I went to sleep and when I woke up I found that about 3 of the tiny jewels had come off.  There is also color bleeding. The red glitter in the previous post bled and now the stickers are bleeding.Well, only one of the stickers bled, the pink sticker on the index finger/ pointer finger

Second item of business:

I was talking to a friend of mine and he said this:  “The way I think of it is: Your life and mine is insignificant. The entire human race is just half a blink in the eye of the universe. Why not make the most out of it as yourself, as an individual. F*ck the world - make your life your own.”

After thinking about what he said, I pulled out my list…you know, the list we all have, literally or mentally of all the things we wanted to do and of all the places we wanted to go. 

Here’s a bit of my list:
  1. Go dog sledding
  2.  Learn to snowboard
  3. See the Taj Mahal
  4. Gain courage to hold a reptile: snake, lizard, turtle
  5. Gain courage to hold a spider
  6. See the Northern lights
  7. Go Bungee jumping
  8. Go to Russia
  9. See a volcano: extinct/ dormant/ alive
  10. See narwhals
  11. Eat a molecular gastronomy meal
  12. etc..

Although I have had this list for many years, I have only completed 2 out of the 100s of things listed. I am going to slowly work on chipping away at this list. Sure it will take money and time, but to make my life my own I want to do things I want or at least work towards doing things I want to do. 

So this is what I’ve done:

Bungee Jumping on Whistler Mountain:

Crocodile named Lucy


I know a lot of bloggers are having a lot of difficulties in their life and well, after talking to my friend I realized we only have the one chance to make it the life we want, so why don’t we?-->Money and time.  I think that as long as we have a goal in life/ have a desire to do something and we work towards it, we make our life much more worthwhile when we actually do reach one of our goals.


Third item of business:

A small favor request:

My sister entered a contest on Cathay Pacific Canada's facebook page and I would love it if you could vote for her entry.  The only catch is that the contest requires you to have a facebook account.  It is the Art of dessert contest, what happens is you make a dessert that if chosen will be served on International Cathay Pacific flights.

Her dessert is under Amy Choh, B.C.: Coconut Panna Cotta with Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Sauce and Banana Chips

Here’s a picture of it:

It’s pretty much coconut pudding + dark chocolate hazelnut sauce + a side of banana chips.  I had a taste of it just now and the Coconut Panna Cotta is Awesome! (I’m not just saying this because she’s my sister, it really is awesome)

 
If you guys have the time it would be great if you could vote for her. 
Voting instructions:
1. Just follow the link http://www.facebook.com/cathaypacificCA
2. Click on the "Like" button page to like the Cathay Pacific Canada page
3. Click on the“Art of Dessert” Tab
3. The contestants should be listed a little below
4. Scroll for “Amy Choh,B.C: Coconut Panna Cotta with Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Sauce and Banana Chips” and click “Like” to vote   <---currently I believe she's on page 10

I’m going to tweet it too and if you guys could help spread the word I would really appreciate it. A few clicks is all it takes to make my sister very happy =) 

eminem told me to do it.

And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, I'ma face my demons
I'm manning up, I'ma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now!
                  -"not afraid" eminem

So I'll be unemployed in 2 weeks...and I'll be okay =)


I wanted to thank everyone for their kind comments.  I really appreciate all the advice that was given.  I went through each comment and really thought about what was said and then came to my decision.

This is just a simple blog but with all the people I've talked to and "met" it just seems much more than that.  Thank you for being my readers/ commenters/ followers. 




Back to the nail polish world....

sooooooooooooo...I received a wonderful package from Ms. Delaynee on Thursday.  It was....China glaze For Audrey...one of my long time lemmings =)
She is such a sweet heart for sending it over to me....plus she used express post.  o_o
Thank you Ms D!


By the way, I am using a different camera so my photos are not as nice as before.  The original camera I used was a canon rebel but it was my brother in law's and he needed it back so I returned it. My photos are now taken with a pentax camera, which is terrible for taking macro shots, the colors are a bit off and somewhat blurry. I also had to use flash for my photos or else the designs would not show up...please bare with me for a few weeks until I get the camera back.


Ms. Delaynee didn't just send me for audrey, she also sent me the double ended konad stamper....ekk!

Of course I had to apply For audrey right away and nail stamp it

On top of stamping I had to bling my nails up with viva la nails hexagonal nail glitter.  I need to get more of these because I think their glitter would be perfect for frankens, especially for making dupes of deborah lipmanns hexagonal glitter polishes.  Just take a look at their neon glitter..the glitter comes in all sizes !!!!


Please note the glitter used was received from the viva la nails sample pack, go sign up for one right now!!


So..here are my nails..which you sort of already saw in the very first picture:

Items used:
  • China glaze for Audrey
  • Sally Hansen xtreme White on
  • Konad image plate M78
  • teal dazzling glitter from viva la nails



** ChaosButterfly and *~ JuLiAnnE ~* tagged me for blog awards so i'll be putting them up in my next blog post =)
