Hey guys!

I finished my final paper of the semester last night so I can now get back to blogging regularly!
Usually I take the summer off to work but this year, because I want to graduate as soon as possible, I've decided to do a summer semester of courses. I'm not really looking forward to it but I know I'll thank myself when I finish my degree in December of this year instead of May of 2012. Nonetheless, I have almost a full month until I start my next semester so I'm excited to be able to post a lot during that time!

Anyways, onto the point of this post: the review and swatches of the Milani Rockstar Heavy Glitter Collection. I know most of you have already seen swatches of this collection as it was available in the US way back in December. However, it only recently showed up here in Newfoundland so that's why I'm way behind everyone else on swatching it. I actually contemplated not swatching it at all since it's old news now but it was just too beautiful of a collection to not swatch. So, here it is, the Milani Rockstar Heavy Glitter Collection.

Hey guys!

Today I have a mani that was inspired by a fellow Newfoundlander's recent ice cream nail art. She does a lot of freehand nail art which I really respect and she's very good at it. Here's her design that inspired me:

And a link to her tumblr account so that you can check out her other awesome designs.

I loved the concept but I didn't want to just copy the design so to make it my own, I decided to make the ice cream into ice cream sundaes! I added stripes to make it look like the ice cream was dripping out of a glass and I also decided to add a stem to the cherries to add to the theme of ice cream sundaes. Unfortunately, the design would only work if I faced the glasses inwards (towards me) as opposed to outwards which is not how I usually like to execute my designs. However, I'm still very happy with it how it turned out!

Hey guys!

Today I have the second of the Spring 2011 Collections by OPI called Femme de Cirque. This is the SoftShades Collection so all 4 of the shades are light and delicate.

Hey guys!

So it turned out that the package from Purolator that I thought was the last package for my giveaway turned out to be a package of samples from the new OPI Spring Collections: Femme de Cirque and Pirates of the Caribbean. I was excited to be able to try these polishes but I was also a little disappointed because I really want to get my giveaway up and running! I promise guys, it's coming!

Anyway, today I have 4 of the 7 polishes from the OPI Pirates of the Caribbean Collection. When the collection is released I'll definitely pick up the other 3 polishes so you can keep an eye out for that sometime in May.

Hey guys!
I'm back! And I'm now a certified professional manicurist/pedicurist!

My course was absolutely amazing and I'm SO glad that I decided to do it! I learned so much and hopefully I'll get a chance to share a lot of that knowledge with you guys. :) Unfortunately, taking 3 whole days out of this crucial week in my semester has put me way behind on a lot of school work so I now need to catch up which means that I won't be able to post as much as I would like to in the next week or so. However, my final exam is on the 11th of April so after that I'll be back full force!

Oh and for anyone wondering, I'm still waiting on a package from one more company so that I can get my giveaway up and running. I wasn't at home on Friday and when I finally did get home, there was a door tag from Purolator saying that I missed a package so I'm thinking that that must be the final package. I'll pick that up on Monday so my giveaway should be up early next week.

In the meantime, I did receive a small order this week from Made You Blush which is a great online site that ships brands such as Deborah Lippmann here in Canada. They're customer service is among the best I have ever dealt with so I highly recommend them! I only got a couple of things but what I was most excited about was the new polish by Deborah Lippmann called Glitter in the Air.
