Easter Nails

Happy Friday everyone!  I can't believe it, but I think that Spring has finally sprung!  If you have been here for a while, you know I'm a winter person but this winter has been super long even for me.  Today, Owen, Lexi and I spent some time getting our bronze on on the side deck where the sun was beating down and making it nice and toasty warm!  Lexi was finding it a little hot and opted to go lie on the snow in the backyard instead, lol!

Last week, Celine from Nail Polish Canada emailed me and asked if I wanted to participate in their Easter Nail Art Challenge.  It's been a while since I've done nail art, so I thought I would give 'er a go!  Here's what I came up with:

I used a bunch of polishes, I'll just list them for you guys:

Julep Bess (blue)

Julep Blake (yellow)

OPI Rumple's Wiggin' (purple)

Julep Hayden (orange)

Julep Martha (pink)

Jordana Black

LA Colors Art Deco striping polish in White

China Glaze Fairy Dust (glitter)

Julep Matte Top Coat

The picture doesn't show the polishes in 100% colour accuracy, but it was late at night when I took the picture and by the time I got up in the morning, my sugar spun thumb was all smushed.

I love pastel polishes, and they look even better when they are topped with a matte top coat.  I love the chalky look of them :)

Holiday Nail Art Challenge Week 2

Hola readers!!  I know I said that I would be on the ball this week with Nail Polish Canada's Holiday Nail Art Challenge, and I wasn't.. FAIL!  I did have my mani done a few days ago, I just was being lazy and didn't get the post up.

This week's theme was Decorations.  My idea came into my mind immediately when I saw the e-mail, and this is what I came up with!

Holiday Nail Art Challenge Week 1

Happy Sunday everyone, and Happy December 1st!!  Only 24 more sleeps :D

I have a late mani submission for the Nail Polish Canada Holiday Nail Art Challenge.  Yes, I have had all week to do it, but I have been super lazy and only did it last night, very last minute.  Let's take a look - I am very excited for the way this turned out!  The theme for this week's challenge was snow, my FAVOURITE part of winter and Christmas :D

Tonight I have my "W" mani for the ABC Nail Art Challenge!  There are only 4 weeks left of the Challenge, I can't believe we are this close to the end already!  So much has happened in the last 20+ weeks!  Let's get to it, shall we?

Good evening my lovely ladies (and gents - do we have any gent readers?)!  I hope you are all surviving!  I don't know if I will make it to the end of the week :(  We are going through a heat wave here in South-Central Ontario and it's killing me already; today was the first day...

M is for Mickey Mouse

Howdie readers!!  Sorry I have been a little MIA, homeownership is time consuming, lol!  Tyler and I have been working on the finishing touches to the house, like hanging pictures and putting up bathroom hardware. We almost have everything finished up!

I have my M design for the ABC Challenge, even though I have left it until the very last minute :)

M is for Mickey Mouse

L is for Ladybugs

Howdy guys!  I hope everyone had a good weekend!  I meant to get this up yesterday, but ran out of time!  It's the last week before moving day, and things are getting a lot hectic around here, so this is going to be a short and sweet kind of post!  This will likely be one of my last posts before I move, and for maybe a few days after too.  We won't have internet right away, so if I seem to be MIA, that's why :)  I thought I would try to get ahead in my Challenge nails, but it hasn't happened yet :(

Today I have my "L" mani for the ABC Challenge!

L is for Ladybugs

K is for Kisses

Happy Sunday!  We're starting to count down the days till moving day :D  Just a bit more to pack, like my polishes and the clothes I will need for the next couple weeks.  Tyler and I got a BBQ yesterday too :D  I have to say that I LOVE shopping for house stuff with him!!  We also went to look at bathroom hardware like towel bars, etc. but we are waiting until we go for our first visit to make sure there hasn't been anything put up :)

Today I have my "K" mani for the ABC Challenge, can you believe we're on K already?  Holy crapoly, where does the time go?!

K is for Kisses

J is for Jigsaw

Happy Monday folks!  Sorry I have been MIA for the last little bit.  I had a quick post the other day just as a "here's what I've been up to in the last few days" check-in.  If you missed it, Tyler and I bought our house! I my post from Wednesday, I told you that we walked from the house that we put an offer on the week before because of some issues that we saw in our inspection.  This past Friday, we went back with our real estate agent to look at the work that the homeowner had put into the house, and our agent was happy with the work that had been done so far and the work that was to be finished.  Tyler and I agreed and re-opened our offer in the house and it was accepted within an hour!!  Moving day is still June 22, so I will still be posting irregularly as I get my stuff packed up and everything figured out.  I'm excited but nervous at the same time :)

Onto the nails.  Today's post is my J mani for the ABC Challenge.  I apologize for not getting an I mani up last week, but I was on a major emotional roller coaster all week, and it was Sunday before I knew it!

H is for HAPPY BIRTHDAY OWEN!

Happy Sunday!!  Today is my baby boy's 3rd Birthday!  I can't believe that he is 3 already.. they grow up so fast!  Today is going to be filled with lots of R&R for us as a little family, and we will be headed to Tyler's house for a BBQ, which we have told Owen it's his birthday party ;)

If you are fairly new here, Owen is mine and my fiancé Tyler's furbaby.  He is a Chow/Jack Russell cross, and the love of our lives :D  We treat him as if he is our own flesh and blood, and a birthday is no different!  He got some presents from his Aunt Sarah (my sister) this morning, and I made him some homemade dog treats as well.  I will put pictures up of those at the end, but you came here for the nails!

Now, I didn't time it so that Owen's birthday would fall on the first day for "H" week, that's just how it worked out, and it couldn't have been more appropriate!  If you want to jump in on the ABC Challenge, you're more than welcome to at any time!

H is for Happy Birthday Owen!
