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. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!! I absolutely love this holiday because it combines my favourite things, like THE COLOUR GREEN and my love for shamrocks and four-leaf clovers. Seriously, love love how the world becomes green plus it lets me use and abuse all my shades!! 

Now let's get to it;

31DC2014: Flowers - Fimo Fun

Remember way back in September when I naively said that I was going to undertake the 31 Day Challenge? And how I managed to do okay for the first few weeks before life got in the way??  Well, I've decided that now that life isn't in the way as much I would attempt to finish it. I mean, sure the challenge part involved doing it in 31 days, but personally I think having the creativity to come up with some cool designs is also part of it, haha. 

So, without further ado, I present to you; Day 14 - Flowers.

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: Blue - Puzzle Pieces

Riiiiight, so here's the thing. Sometimes, you're on a roll, you've got a good momentum going and then you;

 a) Have a really bad day at work 

b) Develop a super bad cold 

c) manage to misplace your camera's SD Card 

All of that added to the mix that I didn't have internet at home (perks of just moving!) and you get a skipped day of blogging. Sigh. I really didn't want that to happen, but life is life! So here's my Day 5 nail art, whose prompt was Blue.

31 Day Challenge: Rules + Red!!

Am I crazy? Insane? Have a strong desire to do too much with too little time? All of the above!! Haha, I couldn't help myself this year - I just had to at least try to participate in this event, so I figure dI'd suck it up, even if I'm a few days late I would try my very best to complete this!!

Here's the complete list of all the themes for those who want to join in on the fun - it's not too late!!

Day 1 is Red, and since it's the first day I knew that I wanted to keep it simple, so instead of playing too much with decorations and stuff I played with polishes and textures.

Mani Monday: Pink & Gold Summer Shimmer!!

Today is Monday - albeit here in BC it's a holiday, so it feels more like a Sunday than anything else, haha, but! Since it is Monday and I promised to start posting more regularly, today's theme is Mani Monday and here's our new nail art for today!!

Nautical Theme Nails ft. Beaded Anchor

Today's nails are brought to you by "There are beads everywhere, but this was SO WORTH IT." I've been wanting to do a sailor theme for the longest time, and especially a chance to play with my mini beads, which for some reason I just hadn't at this point.  Less talk, more show!!

Serene Green by CND Vinylux

Hello, hello, I hope everyone's had a good weekend, as well as a Happy Valentine's Day!! Speaking of, I got this beautiful polish from the Boy, it's called Serene Green by CND Vinylux.  I'm completely in love with how beautiful of a colour it is! It's a dark shade of green that just makes your nails look so classy. 

Valentine's Day Nail Art!!

What's Valentine's Day without a matching pink nail art design?? Haha, here's my very simple design, I'm not 100% in love with this, but it turned out pretty nice for what it is. Very girly, very cutesy valentine.

Sochi Olympics 2014 Nails

Nothing like the Olympics to get me out of my nail art funk! And here is my small contribution that I wiped up while watching the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. I quite liked how they turned out. 

2014 New Year's Fireworks!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014!!!

This year has gone by so fast and I learned so much during it! I'm really looking forward to the New Year though, I love how everything seems fresh and stuff.  Here's the mani I decided to wear for this year, I really like how it came out!

2013 Christmas Nail Art!!

Merry (late) Christmas everyone!! Hope you had a wonderful holiday with family, friends and good food!! I ate way too much during these past 2 days, but it was wonderful and I loved every second of it. Christmas is one of my favourite times, and of course, my nails had to join in on the fun. 

 

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! 

Swirl Patterns: Black, Silver & Gold

Hello everyone!

Today's nails are inspired by a theatre show that I've been working on for the past few weeks. It's been taking over my life, ergo why I sadly have less time for nails. But it does serve as good inspiration!

China Glaze Cranberry: Sailor Stark Edition!!

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I've been here, truth is that I hit a creativity stump in regards to what to do with my nails. I just couldn't seem to bring myself to do anything more than just pick a colour to put on.

Luckily, that changed due to a few things;
a) I got my first Liquid Sand/Pixie Dust polishes which I'm very excited about!!
b) I saw discovered Polished Elegance and this amazing post and I knew I had to try it myself.

So without further ado, I give you Sailor Stark!!
