"Eyre" by piCturepOlish

The story begins like this:
 
One day, I'm doing my nails when suddenly: crisis. My HK Girl Top Coat is almost empty. First reaction: "That's fine. I'll go on NailPolishCanada and buy another bottle so I won't have to wait too much for my bottle to arrive."
 
I go on NailPolishCanada.com and put HK Girl Top Coat in my cart... They recently began to charge for shipping and if you buy more than 25$, it's free (in Canada, not US). So.. you begin to understand?
 
I couldn't just buy a topcoat and leave. Right? Riiiiight?
I had to make it worth it.
Here comes "Eyre" by piCture pOlish. (I also bought Paris but didn't get the chance to wear it!)
 
 
 
I had to buy this one, not only because the color is freaking amazing but also because, Eyre. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. Ring a bell? I loved this book even if it's kind of dramatic and sometimes dark.

Nails Of The Weekend!

Whoa. It's been a while, Reader!

I had some traumatic break during the last few weeks, so my motivation took a slap in the face (You like the image in your head?) It's sound so superficial "I broke a nail, my life is done", but I can assure you I'm not THAT superficial, it's just that it pissed me off I didn't want to do anything with the traitor. (I had to wear a Band-Aid three days because of this sucker!)

Anywaaaaays! Let's forget this and focus on something more happy!

I started initially with an idea in my head, but while I was searching for the right tools, it looked like I didn't have what I thought I had. (I'm not sure it's even a real sentence. Doesn't it seems like it have too much verbs?) I changed my plans and this is what I came with!

Try Those Untrieds! - Supernatural Lacquer "Ruby 2.0" Swatch

Hello, Reader!
 
Next from my untried pile is Ruby 2.0 from Supernatural Lacquer. It's been a long time since I have done these swatches so I think I had done 2 or 3 coats to achieve to opacity here.

52 Week Challenge - Pale Blue + Flowers

Hello!

Today's post is all about the 52 Week Challenge. I wanted to incorporate the two theme this week since they go so well together.

Earlier this week, I received my package from Renaissance Cosmetics from her last restock. I immediately wanted to wear all of them, but since it was impossible I decided to at least wear four of them. Yes. Four. They are in the blue family so they were perfect for my idea I had.

 
I started with a plastic bag base (polishes used were Reverie, Footprints in the Snow and Cursed). I was a little bit heavy-handed on the application so we can really see the difference between Cursed and Reverie. That's why I included a little bit more close-up.

 
Reverie is the lighter shade and Cursed is the darker shade. Can you see it?
 

 I haven't done a rose in a really long time so I thought it would be the perfect time to try again. Overall, even if it's been a long time I think they turned out pretty. I used Melancholia from RenCo for the flowers.

 
You kinda can see Melancholia in the background. I love my new shades from Renaissance Cosmetics so much !! I'm pretty excited to try Sex, Death and Rock'n' Roll and Out of the Darkness!
 
Hope you loved the mani!
 
Happy polishing!

Let's Try Those Untrieds! - Supernatural Lacquer "Charlie" Swatch

Hello Reader!

I think my new resolution for this year is to swatch all my untried polish in my untried box. I have a lot of nail polish just sitting there, waiting for their moments. Like you already know, this will be a work in progess since everytime you take one nail polish out, three come in. Haha. You know what I'm talking about, right. HOOOOOARDER.
