Delicious Cupcake Nails Did & 125 Followers Giveaway Winner!

And the winner is....(drumroll please)...

Rebecca!!

Congrats lady I just dropped you an email! If you haven't seen Rebecca's blog NailsEtc, its awesome! It's only been active since this year and it's already growing heaps!

And here is Rebecca's suggestion: Cupcake Nails!!

I used Claire's Mean Green for the base and since I used a lot of different polishes for the cakes, cups, icing and accents I'll just list them all:

China Glaze: Lemon Fizz, Re-fresh Mint, Light as Air, and Solar Power
Sally Hansen: Satin Slip Frost, Mocha Frost, and Elegance French White
Rimmel Shocker
Nail art pens in red, purple, blue, orange, pink

And I put my FAVORITE cupcake of all time on my thumb: behold the Maple Bacon Cupcake!!

See the wee slice of bacon at the top? God I want one so bad. You don't understand I was googling images for inspiration and my mouth literally started to water it was that bad. But I must lose 15lbs before I go on vacation!!! (lol yea right).

Anyway, if you've never had a maple bacon cupcake I suggest you find one right quick! Many specialty bakeries are starting to carry them because they are soooo gooooood!!

Thanks to everyone who entered - you all had some AWESOME ideas and I'm totally gonna try to do as many as I can :D. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog every once in a while, I really do appreciate it.

Till next giveaway!

Purple Swoops Nails Did

Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about these nails to be honest. I wanted to dupe Deez Dream Catcher Nails cause they're so lovely, but like SUPER DUPE because I have so many purples that I love and have a need to wear all at once.

Can I just say that I do applaud anyone that can get nail guides to work for them. They NEVER work for me! I think its cause I'm too impatient with them and I never know whether to pull them off now, or when the polish is dry, cause I've tried both and either way my edges always suck :P

So the base is Zoya Savita, then one swoop of China Glaze Light as Air (with matte magic on top), and then the last swoop is Claires Wild/Calm mood polish. I took a picture with the colour change too.

Meh, I like all the purples, I just think my execution is off. Do you have any tips you live by when using nail guides??

Feelin so Moody Nails Did

Today was one of those days that I just lazied around in bed until about 2pm. In that time I watch two movies: The Sound of Thunder and White Wall. BOTH WERE SO BAD!!

I'll give you all a dollar not to watch it. Then charge you a dollar for my excellent advice. Its a win/win situation.

Anyway due to both my laziness and moodiness I thought I'd do something simple today. I'm dreaming up big ideas for the week so it'll be made up I promise :)

I just got Claires new mood polishes yesterday at Vaughan Mills, SO excited about them! They only had a few colours left so I picked up Innocent/Daring and Wild/Calm.

So this is Innocent/Daring in two coats with L.A. Colours Art Deco striper in Intense Pink with Claire's Starstruck on top for some glitter and stars!

I think its cute but man was it ever a pain in the a$$ to fish out the stars from that Starstruck polish :(
