Nail Pattern Boldness - Allons-y (aka my New Years Eve Mani)

Happy New Years Eve guys,

A lot has happened this year, some of it good, most of it bad. I could go on about this but I'll keep it short,

I hope you all had a great New Years Eve, I went and bought some polish then went and saw The Hobbit 2 (SO GOOD) and I'll probably watch Avatar later after I'm done this disc of Chuck.

Yeah super exciting.

So for my nails this New years I just wanted to go with a super awesome but nerdy glittery polish.

This is a silver/blue glitter topper, the glitter pay off is fantastic, this was 2 coats over NPB - Bigger on the Inside.

December Julep Maven Box

Hey guys,

So we have one day of 2013 left and with that I have the last Julep box of 2013 to show you,
Overall this year I have really loved getting my Julep boxes each month, my collection of Julep polishes has gotten larger in this past year than I had expected it to.

This month I ordered the Boho Glam box.

Julep - Antonia

Hey guys,

So yesterday was probably one of the greatest nights ever, my best friend Nicole asked me to go for pizza then we would plan our trip to Palm Springs, so then when we get to the pizza place what is waiting for me but a table full of my friends, surprise! Happy Birthday to me. I was pretty much shocked speechless. It was amazing, I have the best friends.

Today I have the sister to Geo, this is the pink version, application here was the same as with Geo, no problems with application or with the diamond glitter.
This is one coat.

Rainbow Honey - Tidal Wave

Hey guys,

I love Boxing week sales, seriously I always forget how awesome the sales are.
The key is though remembering to save money for my trip in 2 weeks. WILLPOWER.

Today I have another of Rainbow Honey's pretty teal polishes, this one reminds me a bit of The Kraken. except there is more green in The Kraken. I was surprised at the great coverage with this one.
This was 2 coats no undies.

Enchanted Polish - Queen of the Castle

Hey guys,

So first I'm going to wish my puppy a very Happy 7th Birthday.
This polish seemed appropriate since Briar pretty much acts like she is the Queen of the Castle.

I love Enchanted Polish, that's no secret. So of course when NPC posted their restock on Facebook before I could blink I had ordered a bunch of EP's whoops. Anyways here is the first of my impulse purchase.

This is a pink/yellow/green multichrome that is ALSO a holo.
This is 2 coats over Black.

Josie Maran Bearnaked Nail Wipes

Hey guys,

I have something a bit different for you today,

I ordered this a few weeks ago because I think nail polish remover wipes are fantastic for on the go, or at work and I LOVE polar bears. So when I saw these wipes at Sephora I figured why the heck not. Part of the proceeds go to the Polar Bears!. 

First off these have a great grapefruit scent and don't smell like polish remover at all, 

I used them to remove Julep - Jillian which was a shimmery eggplant colour. I only needed one wipe for all ten nails, and these left my fingers feeling really nice and moisturized, It took a bit longer to remove than with normal remover but I really liked the way these made my fingers feel. I don't know how they would do with glitter polish but these are definitely my new go to nail wipes, I wouldn't hesitate using these at my desk at work if I needed to since there is no harsh smell.

The blue staining was from a previous polish.

Ugly Christmas Sweater Manicure

Hey guys,

Merry Christmas to all of you, I hope you were all able to spend it surrounded by people you love.

for today's manicure I wanted to show you my favourite Christmas manicure I did this season, my ugly sweater nails. They were a tad wonky but I loved them and the people at work got a total kick out of them.

I used 

Julep - Coco as a base.

Island Girl - Pink Glow In The Dark (and Christmas Lights!)

Hey guys,

Well I hope everyone is having a good Christmas Eve, I've mostly just spent the day cleaning and watching American Dreams, tough life I know. 

Today I have a polish I have to rant about for a minute. This is a white glitter glow in the dark topper, so WHY is it called PINK Glow in the Dark that makes ZERO sense, it doesn't glow pink, it glows green, it just makes no sense. That being said the glow was pretty good in this one.

Rainbow Honey - Candy Cane Gram

Hey guys,

{first things first I want to issue a retraction from my BL-Chancer post... I mentioned my coworker bought me that polish, well as I have been corrected I should have said my friend did because friends are the people who inform you of handsome bearded men at work while you are away}

Happy Christmas Eve-Eve... or Happy Festivus. I am currently watching my very first black person Christmas movie (I didn't know this was a thing, I never thought of my Christmas movies as black or white...) So far so good, it's much raunchier than I expected.

Today I have a polish from my dear NPBFF. This is the polish I wished The Lady Varnishes - You Remind Me Of The Babe was. This is two coats over top of Rainbow Honey - Nyx, the bar glitter in this one was totally not even a pain to work with.

Supernatural Lacquer - Aurora Borealis (AND SNOWFLAKES!)

Hey guys,

So Day 2 of hibernation went much better than Day 1, I'm almost done American Dreams Season 1, I swear I love that show but sometimes it frustrates the crap out of me.

Every year I do snowflake nail art, so this year I decided to spice things up a bit. When I put in my Supernatural Lacquer order I found a special surprise inside my package, for being the first Canadian customer I got a free mini of Aurora Borealis, a holographic micro glitter topper. So I figured why not use it in a snow flake mani. This was one coat.

Butter London - Chancer

Hey guys,

So I failed at my first day of hibernation, I went and FINISHED all my Christmas shopping'

Soooo hibernation starts tomorrow, I have been going hard on my TV watching though, I'm on episode 11 of season 1 of American Dreams, so if I can keep going at this pace hopefully I can get to Chuck.

Yesterday my coworker gave me my Christmas present yesterday and included was a Butter London set, now I have had a rocky relationship with BL in the past, this polish may have changed my stance on it though, it is pretty much an exact dupe for China Glaze Ruby Pumps, which is good since I just used a bunch of that one for a polish ornament.

I love this, this is two coats, totally redeeming Butter London.

Butter London - Chancer

Julep - Viola

Hey guys,

I'm officially in hibernation mode! EFF YEAH! I know for a fact a few people will be trying to get me OUT of hibernation mode but I'm going to do my best to just sleep and watch tv and snooze.

Also my NPBFF bought me a lightbox! sooooo once I get the rest of the set up we should have some better pictures coming through!

Today I have a deep dark purple to show you guys, I ordered this one because She's The Man is one of my favourite movies and lets face it, before Amanda Bynes went off the deep end she was spectacular.
This was ALMOST one coat. but was 2.

Julep - Viola

Rainbow Honey - Lifestream

Hey guys,

So I have one day left of work before my Christmas break... I can't fricken wait. I seriously plan on living in my PJ's and watching obscene amounts of TV. I'll be surprised if I even eat. I still have to finish some shopping then wrap everything. I hate wrapping. I mean I love UNWRAPPING things but the wrapping part sucks big time.

Today I have another Rainbow honey, this one is a shimmery iridescent topcoat, this polish reminds me of a scarf I crocheted myself that has the same lime green/white shimmer to it. I can't remember what I layered this over, could be OPI Gargantuan Green Grape but I'm not 100% sure. This was one coat.
