Cult Nails Feel Me Up

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday!

I managed to snag a bottle of Sand Art from Pretty and Polished earlier today, so I'm pretty darn excited! I'm also a little bit stressed because I have another interview on Friday.

Anyhow, right now I'm wearing Scandalous from the Cult Nails Divas and Drama collection... but secretly I really want to put this polish on! I love Scandalous but whenever I see Feel Me Up I just have this urge to wear it! I'm going to have to wait till after Friday though... as soon as I get home I'm going to put it on! :D

 Feel Me Up is such a gorgeous colour. It's super bright and happy looking - pretty much exactly the colour of a buttercup. I feel like this polish pretty much reflects my mood most of the time - bright, cheery, energetic etc. Even when I'm feeling down this colour makes me perk up.

Formula wise, it's pretty fantastic (as usual from Cult Nails). I had no difficulty applying this polish. It's a dream. 

That's all for now... I feel like if I keep talking and staring at this photo for much longer I'll give in. Must wait till Friday! Thank you are reading!

Do you have any polishes that you think reflects your mood? Please share if you do!

Misa - Paradise Shore (-1)

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, my camera has been MIA and I was only able to take pictures yesterday.. so I took a boatload, enough for a few posts.

Today I have Misa's Paradise Shore collection (or most of them) to show you.

There is some pretty awesome glass fleck action going on in these!

L to R: Summer Love, Endless Keys, Under my Sunbrella, Mega Margarita, Krystal Waters

I'm only missing Mermaid Dreams, which is a dark blue.

Application was alright, Under my Sunbrella (isn't that such a cute name?) was fairly sheer and there was still VNL after 3 coats. I love the finish on these.

Overall, I like the brightness of this collection. The colours kind of remind me of the China Glaze summer collection, Summer Love especially reminds me of 108 Degrees. My favourites from this set are Mega Margarita (ooh, reminds me of that 2 for $8 margarita deal at a local Maxican restaurant) and Endless Keys (mm, juicy orange).

I'm also still waiting on my Cult Nails order, will try to post pics as soon as I get them (hopefully I will -someone else in this province had her order destroyed ><)

What are your fav summer polish picks?

tata for now,

It's late, but I'm not asleep.. yet.

Good morning everyone (it's 1:30AM right now, so it's early early morning!)

Just another quick post (unless I start rambling on about things) before I hit the soft, kind of comfortable thing that is my bed for the night. Why "kind of comfortable"? Well, have you ever had a cat step all over you at night and try to sleep on your chest? Yeah. It's not that bad, considering she mostly sleeps on the bed.. but flat out on the middle of the bed seems like the prime spot. Tell me about it.

Anyhow, after I got the huge package I described (in pictures) in the previous post, I decided to do my nails (hmm, deja-vu.. I probably mentioned this briefly in the last post too). Since I'm so indecisive, I used 4 colours with two colors alternating on each hand. I'm weird, I know, but having mismatched hands doesn't bother me. I had China Glaze Spontaneous and Grape Pop on one hand, and Something Sweet and Heli-Yum on the other. I did this late at night after my last post, and it turned out horribly.. for some reason I had issues applying the polish (mainly Something Sweet.. it seemed a bit on the gooey side) but the problems could have been because of inexperience or maybe because I was just so darn tired.

No pictures of this paint-job, it looked horrible and I ended up taking it off the next day as soon as I had time.

After I took off that massive fail, I put on something I think turned out much better.

I used China Glaze's Lemon Fizz (a light pastel yellow from the Up&Away collection), Mermaid's Tears (a murky pastel-y green from the new OPI Pirates collection) and topped them with China Glaze's White Cap.

In full sun

In part sun/shade to show the shimmer

I had no problems with applying any of the polish (aside from having to redo a nail.. but that was because I smacked it on something and it made a nasty smudge). I keep finding myself more and more drawn towards the Pirates of the Caribbean collection every time I go into a salon and see the polishes there.. and I must admit I rather like Mermaid's Tears. I also saw the Silver Shatter in massive quantities at a beauty supply shop I visited, and I'm kind of tempted to buy it.. and MAYBE On Stranger Tides. *sigh* I think this obsession is getting out of hand.

I really love the shimmer of White Cap on top of the polishes though, I'm even thinking about getting a back up bottle, even though my bottle is pretty much brand new.

Urgh. I'm tired now.. I've already spent way more time than I expected rambling. Time to tune out and turn off!

Ta-ta all,
