OPI - What's A Little Rain Forest?

Hey guys,

So did anyone watch the Game of Thrones season finale?? Of course my favourite character bit the dust. Sad day for me, I won't say who it was, spoilers and all but aww man. I sort of expected this to happen way sooner than it did but sheesh. Stupid show. Guess I have to pick a new favourite. This makes me feel like the grim reaper.

I have the very last Brazil liquid sand for you today. This was my favourite from the collection, a beautiful sky blue with the same sugary finish (I really feel like that is the perfect description for it) this is such a fantastic summer polish. Perfect for toes too. This was two coats.

OPI - You're So Flippy Floppy

Hey guys,

So on a totally non blog related note, Yesterday my best friend and I decided to do the "Baby Food Challenge" and film it and then of course upload it to the internet for the world to see. So if you feel like watching me choke down some baby food click here! The plan is to start making product review videos and putting them on youtube. Who knows if this will last but heck why not right?

Today I have my least favourite of the Brazil liquid sand polishes to show you, honestly the only reason this was my least favourite was because of the colour, I know some of you with a darker skintone can probably ROCK this canary yellow but it just makes me look jaundiced. Although I do have it on my toes right now and it works much better as a toenail polish. Like Brazil Nuts this one was a bit more sheer, this is three coats.

OPI - I'm Brazil Nuts Over You

Hey guys,

So I had a wonderful morning out at the farm, got some sweet snuggles from my pony, lots of puppy kisses, and even some little kid cuddles. Of course there was chaos when the boys accidentally let the dogs out of the run and Sam got into the chicken coop and tried to eat a chicken. Don't worry the chicken is fine, maybe a little bit terrified but she'll live.

Also from OPI's Brazil liquid sand collection is this pretty hot pink. This is very much the same sugar texture as Samba-dy Loves Purple. This one was a bit more sheer than the other one. This is three coats.

Hey guys,

Rant warning. Feel free to skip down to the polish. You've been warned:
So right now #EndFathersDay is trending on Twitter and I find this horribly sad and personally quite hurtful. Some people are saying that Father's Day is supporting rape culture and all sorts of other ridiculous things. First off, people it's a hallmark holiday LITERALLY created to sell ties and greeting cards during the war when business was down. Second, like any holiday if you don't like it STOP CELEBRATING IT, no one is forcing you to have ANYTHING to do with Father's Day. It's the whole guns don't kill people, people kill people thing. I mean don't get me wrong there are some HORRIBLE people out there but how is it fair to let a small margin of people ruin it for everyone.
Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of the day my Dad passed away, yeah right before Father's Day. Great timing Dad. My Dad was the greatest man I have ever known, he was my closest friend. He supported me in every single thing I ever did and was likely the sole reason I turned out to be the person I am (not to give my mom no credit but in all seriousness her and I are nothing alike) The whole End Fathers Day thing makes me really sad and frankly I think it's stupid. I'm pro Father's Day.

Moving on to the polish of the day. This is a bright fuschia liquid sand from OPI's Brazil spring collection. This is more purple and less pinky in real life. As far as textured polishes go this is more of the sugary and less straight up gritty ones. Standard liquid sand application here. This is two coats,

Hey guys,

So I spent all day with my friend Melissa trailering a horse down to Calgary which is about a 3 hour drive... longer when you're pulling a horse trailer. So I am absolutely beat and plan on hopping into bed right away.

I finally found this pretty at Winners (most of the bottles I had previously found at winners looked like they had been rolled in a broken bottle... just not in nice enough condition to be in my collection. So when I found this I was stoked.

Formula here was the same as OPI's other liquid sands, thinner first coat with a thicker second coat. I really loved the sparkle to this one.

Hey guys,

So with this we wrap up Textured Week (and a couple days)
 This is the last Bond Girl liquid sand, and this one actually really surprised me, for some reason I really didn't expect to like this, maybe because I'm not always an orange person? Who knows anyways I wound up really liking this. Maybe it was the gold sparkle?

This applied in two coats.
Note the pics for this were taken after a day of wear so please excuse the slight tip wear on my middle finger.

OPI - Pussy Galore

Hey guys,

So first you'll probably notice I changed the look of my blog (again) I felt like I needed something a bit cleaner, I think I like this.

Alright so if you don't giggle when you read/hear/say Pussy Galore... What is wrong with you? Yes I am secretly a 5 year old boy.

This was a polish I knew I had to have just because the name makes me giggle. Now let me tell you about this. This frosty pink looks TOTALLY unspectacular in pictures, I haven't seen any pics of it that pick up the bright pink microglitter that is buried within the frosty pink. So if you can go find a bottle IRL and take a peek, it truly IS pretty.

This is two coats.

Hey guys,

 Today I have another Bond Girls Liquid sand for you guys, This one may have been my favourite out of the Mini pack.
This is a frosty white that is sprinkled with silver micro glitter.
The application was pretty typical for a liquid sand, one thin coat to start then a second thicker coat.

Hey guys,

So these have been sitting in my drafts for a while I wanted to save them for "Textured Week" I debated posting all the Liquid Sands in one post but thought I'll just do them separately.

So as you'll all remember a couple months back I changed my nail shape from square/squoval to almond/stiletto. In this post I will show you why.

When OPI released their Bond Girls liquid sands collection I was stoked, I knew I had to control myself and not get them all so I just decided to get the Minis.

This is a deep dark purple that as you apply it almost looks like it won't dry with a sparkle but yet as it dries the sparkle comes out.

This was two coats.

Below is the big gouge that prompted a nail shape change. While cleaning up a office in Fort Mac, I took a chunk out of my nail, of course being in Fort Mac for the day meant I didn't have a nail file with me so I had to go all day with this.

OPI Oz Swatches

Hey guys

Today I have my two picks from OPI's Oz collection for you. I actually really kind of want the sheers in this collection as well but  had to prioritize and grab the two I thought I needed.

First up is a white square and iridescent square glitter topper. A lot of people have their panties in a twist over the white square glitter in this and how they aren't really perfectly square and some of them have tails on them. I can't say it bugged me, whatever I still really liked this. You had to place the white glitter a little but but it wasn't hard. This is two coats over SOPI Your Wish Is My Command.

Lights of Emerald City

Next is the liquid sand in the collection. by now you have to know that I love textured polishes and I love brown polishes. This one wasn't as sparkly as the Mariah Carey liquid sands but that doesn't mean I didn't totally still dig this. This was two coats.

What Wizardry Is This?

OPI Liquid Sands

Hey guys,

So yeah I'm wayyy late on these but cut me some slack as I try to get rid of my pressing backlog.
The moment I heard about these I was stoked, I LOVE gritty polish. why? who knows but I just think it's awesome so I'm so excited for the 2013 trend of textured polish. Kicking everything off were these from the OPI Mariah Carey collection.
