Neutral with a touch of colour

Here's a simple look I did with some of my new     
   mini polishes. I used the nude as the base then 
   did a subtle accent nail with rows of dots in 
   orange, pink and teal. 

   What do you think? I kind of love how it doesn't  
   really look like I'm wearing polish.

OPI Super Bass Shatter

Here are 2 different looks I did to try my new OPI Super Bass Shatter from the Nicki Minaj collection.
Here I used it over an accent over my previous nail design, which you can read about HERE.
Then, I used it over all my nails and did an accent with OPI Save Me, also from the Nicki Minaj collection. Save Me is an amazing silver, bar, holographic glitter! I'll do a separate post on it!

Have you tried shatter over shatter? Any tips??

Canucks!


The other day I went to watch the
Canucks
!! 



They had an open Training Camp that you could watch for FREEEEEE =) Which is super duper awesome! (you don't want to know how much $$$ me and my bf paid for tix last year...)


Here's a quick peek at what I used, accompanied by a lovely picture of Henrik's back...boy wouldn't turn around!


For this mani I used Gosh Blue Monday for the base, with Revlon Emerald and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White for the stripes. 

It's a bit messy because I did it quickly the night before and I have still yet to get my brushes I ordered from ebay 1 month ago...and I was too impatient to use tape. I also had to get up early the next day because practice started at 8:30am and it was general admission! Left home at 6:30am to pick people up, transit there, then line up in the Vancouver rain! But alas, I must say goodbye to summer...and welcome back our bipolar weather!

Blue Monday is gorgeous! It has subtle pink and purple sparkles and such and endearing texture to it!

Look how close I was sitting!!! Too bad Henrik wouldn't turn around!

Do you ever do up your polish for sports teams???


Subtle with a Chance of Sparkle~~~


Here is the mani I wore last week! It's
Joe Fresh Storm 
with an accent of
OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Suede
(with topcoat).

Joe Fresh is a Canadian Brand of Polish, famous for producing the flakie, Twilight... What I like about these polishes is that they come in 5ml bottles, so I can try a lot of different colours I might not normally buy. They also have a really nice flattented brush that doesn't leave streaks!

Storm is very hard to describe... I'd say it's mainly a neutral brown with purple and grey tones. It resembles the colour of chocolate milk, but a little more purple... and yes, I did compare it to chocolate milk (luckily there was some in the fridge) I just forgot to take a picture...

I wasn't going to do a post about this, but I was intrigued by how different Storm looks in different lighting. I apologize for the messiness and scratches...I took these pictures a few days after I applied the polish. 

Take a look at Storm under various lighting sources and watch how it transforms!
From Brownish...
...to less brownish...
...to more greyish...
...to more purplish!!!



I really like Storm...and I hardly ever wear cremes!

Lincoln Park After Dark Suede is also amazing! I found it dusty hunting and this is the first time I've used it. Here it is without top coat.

It is just stunning! It's one of my new favourite polishes!


Look how LPADS sparkles with top coat!

Do you have any favourite neutral colours???
