SKULLPOOPL!! Also known as DEADPOOL MANI!!

Well isn't it a miracle?! Yes indeed, I am back, and I hope to have at least weekly manis up for you guys. Truth be told I've had the bug for a while but somehow it's taken me a while to get the ball rolling. BUT, nothing like an awesome movie to make you come out of it again! 

Swatches: 6 Zoya Picks

Before I do another swatch post I need to warn you guys that I was stupid while swatching and didn't paint my thumb - as one does when one is swatching - and when I took the pictures I totally forgot so yeaaaaah, you kinda get my naked thumb profile. SORRY GUYS. =P

But anyways, before I left for my trip to Brazil there was this AMAZING sale from Zoya where you would get 3 mini polishes for FREE plus 3 other ones only paying for shipping which was $15. BUT, if you spent more than $25 than you would get FREE shipping and long story short that is how I got 6 big polishes and 3 mini polishes for $30!!! 

Let's look at the 6 big beauties I picked out;

From left to right; Storm, Payton, Blaze, Isla, Imogen and Veruschka. 

Swatches: Colorama & Risqué Brazil 2015

Swatches!! Finally got around to doing this, lemme tell you, props to all of you gals who swatch full time because it is lot of work to get nice coverage, shiny and all that jazz. But I did it over a weekend and am quite happy with the results! Here are all the colours I picked up/was gifted while on my trip to Brazil. They're mostly pinks and red and one beautiful blue. Let's get to it!!

31DC2014: Geometrics - Romero Britto

So I recently got a new Romero Britto bag, for those who don't know who Britto is, he's a Brazilian artist that makes these beautiful coloured paintings, that just look amazing!! So, inspired by that, I tried my own hand at it. It took some patience, but I think it went pretty well. 

31DC2014: Animal Print

Day 13 was Animal Print, and this mani I actually managed to do before I took my little hiatus - I don't know why I forgot to post it, D'oh! But here's one of my favourite mani that I did on a last minute whim. I knew I didn't want to do your typical safari animal print, so I tried to remember interesting prints that I had seen. On my trip to Montreal I went to the zoo and there's this frog picture that the boyfriend took that I really enjoyed! 

31DC2014: Polka Dots

So yes, this is late. So I late. I was so close to catching up too!! But sometimes, personal life gets in the way and your weekend ends up being way more busy than you intended it too. That being said, let's talk about the mani that is up today!!

31DC2014: Black & White - Mix and Match

Hello, hello. For today's mani's I was inspired by a bunch of different design's I've been meaning to try out that were black and white, including my all time favourite new thing; dry marbling!!

Recreation Friday: Pink & Black Golden Dots

It's Friday, so you know what that means: time to recreate one of the amazing manis out there from some really great gals. Today's recreation is from the super talented Constantly Polished on instagram, i decided to re-create her super cute and fun pink, black and gold design. 

Something Wicked This Way Come!!

Hello again my fellow polish addicts!! It's been a while for sure, going to Brazil put me behind on my posts and then I was without a laptop for 20+ days because I sold my old one and was waiting on the new one to arrive and ANYWAYS, haha, let's get to what I've been up too. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day Nails!!

Happy (early) St. Patrick's Day!! So I love this date for many, many reasons, but mostly, I just love green and I love anything related to shamrocks/four-leaf clovers. Put them all together and you get my favourite day, so of course I had to do some really special nail art to celebrate!!

Gold & Black Striping Tape: Diamond Pattern

It's time for striping tape nail art! I don't usually use striping tape, I love the way it looks, I just can't be bothered to spend so much time doing it. But every once in a while I see something that catches my eyes and I have to try it myself! 

Matte and Studs Time!!

My nails are depressingly short, because that's what happens when you break one nail and therefore you have to cut the other ones. And that makes me sad. Long story short, I've been wanting to do this for a while now. 

Googly Eyes: Minion Nails!!

Today's nail art is one I'm stupidly proud of!! I've had this idea for a while now and I'm actually pretty excited with the way it turned out. MINION NAILS!!

Weekly Quickly: I See You!!

A simple way to make what started off as basic black nails, not so bland anymore!

Black: NYC Black Lace Creme

White: BK Nail Polish (Matte)

Tools: Dotting Tools

Top Coat: Revlon Quick Dry

It's Stamping Time!!

"Guess who's back?? BACK AGAIN?? Polishing it Up is back, TELL A FRIEND."

On the contrary to popular beliefs, no, I am not dead! And have not forgotten about this poor little blog. I have, instead, been working at a Summer Camp for most of the Summer and because of that have had little to no time to breathe, let alone to dedicate to doing nails.

In fact, I've survived these past months with all of 3 (count them, three) different polishes.

I can't start to say how hard and frustrating it is to only have 3 colours to work with, especially when you want to do a bunch of creative stuff but don't have any of your gear. First world problems of a nail fanatic, haha. I did take some pics of what I came up with, maybe I'll do a post about that eventually.

But, that aside, on to today's nail art!!

Rainbow Rhinestones!!

This is one of the simplest nail art designs I've ever done and the result is super pretty! I can't stop staring at my nails and all the colours on it, you gotta love how you can easily spice up a manicure simply by adding some rhinestones!
