I found some Pacifica nail polish on sale at my local health store place the other day and the colours are so pretty and I couldn’t resist buying them and then using them for this week’s nails. The pictures don’t do the colour justice though. They look more “fall” pink in real life than the salmony pink you see in the picture.
I always enjoy a good glittery gradient sponging and this was a fun colour combo for me to play with!
It’s been a very long time since I last did a NOTW post. I have either been too lazy to do anything pretty or I didn’t like them enough to share them. These ones I really liked, so here they are.
I really enjoyed doing these ones, I usually hate doing polka dots. I mean, I love them, but I just never seem to be able to do them right – I always feel like I’ve placed the dots “wrong” and it looks over crowded or un-balanced. But I think these turned out really well 🙂
I love this green colour from Zoya so much so I ended up using it for my belated nails of the week this week (the holiday Monday is messing with me – I thought it was Tuesday all day and almost missed the season finale of Supernatural :/)! So the green for the base and the dots is Zoya’s Ireland. The other part is a shimmery black polish from e.l.f. I can’t see what the name of the colour is. The picture makes it look like it’s a dark green, but it’s actually more a gunmetal black colour.
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a nail post; I’ve either been too lazy or I didn’t like my looks enough to share. This was just a simple look [and totally not perfect, messed up that ring finger :/], but I love how delicate and elegant it looks.
The base was done in this gorgeous shade of pink –Â May Flower by Drew Berrymore’s line, Flower. I coupled it with flowers from an unnamed stamping stencil in Konad white.
This past weekend, one of my friends hosted a nail wrap party with Jamberry nail wraps. It was so much fun and they were so easy to use. I think it took about 5 minutes for me to do my two accent nails. I would have done more, but they were only samples and not enough of the same pattern to do all my nails. That’s ok, because I wanted to try out this new nail polish sent in the latest LaRitzy box!
The base was Deco Miami’s Petite Palm, which I really wished they shipped to Canada! The polishes are adorable! The dots were done by mixing two drops of Soulstice’s Kauai and a drop of a england’s Briar Rose.
The wrap and the colour ended up going so well together. I am so happy with the results and now I want more Jamberry wraps! They’re good for when I have lazy days 🙂
Here are my new nails of the week! I wanted to do something that was Valentine’s-y but not really since the day has passed. So I thought I would do a little pink and red number 🙂
The base is with NCLA’s Totally Valley Girl. The stamping was done using an unnamed plate from the Wish app and I used Zoya’s Posh Matte Velvet since I had it out still from last week.
Today’s nails of the week is Chinese New Year themed!
The base coat is Zoya’s Posh Matte Velvet which makes me sad that it didn’t really show up in the pictures, but I love this colour! The Chinese Lanterns and charm was done using Maybelline’s Color Show in Bold Gold, using Bundle Monster holiday plate 15.
Now off to celebrate the new year and gotta call/text all my aunties and uncles now!
I got a little lazy with this week’s nails! I just did a simple subtle glitter sponging.
The base was Mysterious Mauve by GOSH and the sparklies was Sansa by Zoya and Sleeping Palace by a-england.
Now off to watch the X-Files! I have to admit when it was on, I wasn’t really interested in all that stuff. Recently I did and started watching X-Files on Netflix and I love it! I’m still on season 6 so I’m sure that I am missing out on a lot of throw backs to the original show. But I loved the season premiere episode and excited about tonight’s episode 🙂
I love this colour by NYX, Dance in Daytona. At first I was hesitant to use this colour because it felt like it was too bright, but then when I actually put it on, I fell in love with it. Plus, this has been a very dreary and grey winter and I need a bit of bright colour.
The stamping was done using hehe #018. I got the stencil from the Wish app and so far it has been working really well. The lines are nice and crisp. I’m so excited that the money and the waiting for it to arrive did not go to waste. The rose on the accent nail was the only thing that I didn’t really like about this week’s mani; in my mind it looked better! Though it has grown on me.
In this month’s subscription of LaRitzy was a GORGEOUS bottle of Trust Fund Beauty’s nail polish. I don’t know if everyone got the same bottle, but I got Boy Tears. It is the sparkliest sparkle you have ever seen in your entire life and IÂ LOVE(!!!) sparkles. They are a pain in the butt to take off, but when they are on your nails, they are just so so pretty! I knew right away that I was going to save it for my New Years themed nails!
Ever since I’ve been making the switch to cruelty free and natural make up, I have heard so much good stuff about this brand. You can bet I was super excited to find it in my sub box!
Can you see the sparkles? I cannot stop staring at my nails in the light, shifting it back and forth just watching the light bounce off of it. I know, I should be using the time for something else 
But honestly, this colour is just so gorgeous.
The polish (this colour, anyway) was kind of thick and I thought it would go on gloppy, but it painted beautifully and I could not be happier with the results (clearly, considering I can’t stop staring at my nails!).
The stamping design was from a large circle plate (A12) I bought at Phoenix Beauty Lounge at Pacific Mall. I used the Konad Pearl Black for the stamping.
