Rainbow Honey - Appleberry

Hey guys,

Okay so I am admittedly one of the least sporty people out there. I hate running, I hate pretty much all physical activity that is not horseback riding. But I LOVE the Olympics. I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding this years Winter Olympics but I am definitely still watching. It's exciting! Plus holy banana crackers have you seen the Canadian Men's Bobsleigh team?? Holy crap!! I know what my favourite new winter sport is.

Today I have a glitter topper from Rainbow Honey, this beauty of course came from the head Rainbow Honey ambassador (In my mind anyways) my NPBFF Melissa.
This is described as: Fresh cranberries accented with apples, spices, and a bright blue shimmer.
Glitter pay off was pretty decent here. This is one coat over white gold

Julep - Stefani

Hey guys,

So I am totally grounded for the next four weeks. A Self-imposed-you-are-too-poor-to-leave-the-house-other-than-to-go-to-work grounding. Yeah I'm not happy about it either. No buying polish, no going and getting food. No doing anything fun. Except staying in. Staying AWAY from online shopping. Being an adult sucks... I'm actually looking forward to doing my taxes and praying for a tax return.

So I FINALLY set up my lightbox! Yep, so that being said I'm going to do my best to get all the non-lightbox pics out of my drafts before I post any lightbox pictures. That being said my Julep box post may go up before my drafts is empty but we'll see. I'm still working out the lightbox kinks and getting the hang of it.

So This is a dark silver, steel grey. I have a few colours like this but I really love them. They remind me of my horse when he was younger.
This went on great, brushstrokes weren't bad. This was 2 coats.

Cosmic Braid Manicure

Hey guys,

So today I decided that I need to watch approx 92 Disney movies before my cousin and I go to Disneyworld next year. Totally doable... also is it crazy I have all but one of those movies? Yup. I have no clue where to start, Jaz says start alphabetically but that seems to easy. I MUST COMPLICATE THIS.

So I love braided manicures so much. This one needed WAYYYY more clean up but I think I was in a rush so I just quickly cleaned the cuticles and slapped a topcoat on.

For this I used
Avon - Galaxy
Avon - Aurora
Avon - Starburst

Cosmic Braid!

Enchanted Polish - Mean Mr. Mustard

Hey guys,

So I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but I swear there is something in the air/water these past couple days making every woman I know irritable & testy... or on the extreme end of the spectrum: a rank bitch. I definitely fall in the latter category. At least a trip to my coach's house to get cuddles from kids, ponies, puppies, & cats seems to help tremendously.

Keeping with the cranky mood this polish seemed fitting because of the name, and I've been craving mustard all day. (I'm not pregnant I just like mustard)
This is from Enchanted Polish's Beatles collection, and is a yellow, green duochrome with scatter holo.
This is one coat over black.

Island Girl - Island Color

Hey guys,

So Monday's suck, I feel this way every single Monday. I think it should be a rule that on Mondays you get cake or something. Some sort of incentive for starting the week. If every Monday I knew that when I got to work I could have cake I would probably have an easier time waking up. Just Sayin'

I've been sitting on this one for a while, unintentionally. Hey believe it or not there are currently only 2 polishes in my untried pile! Holy crap. I mean thats not including the 15 I'm waiting for in the mail.
This is a pink glitter topper, with different sized pink glitter.
This is one coat over light pink.

Island Girl - Island Color

OPI - Tiffany Case

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.

Discount Candy Canes Manicure

Hey guys,

So I did this manicure wayyy back around Christmas time and it totally got lost in my drafts, so instead of waiting until next christmas I just decided to post them now, the way stores try to unload all their unsold candy canes at the end of the season. WOOO discounts... buy one get ten. Seriously I could hastag the crap out of this.

This was a remake of the first nail art I ever tried on the blog.
I used OPI - Solitaire
Zoya - Chyna
