Purple Tips

I've been pretty sick the past week and a bit. Long story short, my allergies hit big time after this massive weed/wild flower patch was cut down right beside my house -__- That happened the day before I went up north to Wakestock, which was held in an area surrounded by the country - that didn't help my allergies either haha.

I have really bad allergies too, so when they act up, I'm pretty much immobile until I start to feel better. So I didn't feel like doing my nails until yesterday.
Last night I had an event to go to, so I wanted a manicure that would match my dress. I decided to try out Color Club's Pucci-Licious, which I've been dying to try since it came in the mail a month ago. It's too dark for summer in my opinion, so I decided to do a french tip with it instead.

The base colour is done in China Glaze's Moonlight - a sheer white I like to wear alone as well.

I used regular scotch tape to make my mani, so it didn't turn out perfect, but it was good enough for what I wanted. I painted the tips of my thumb nails on an angle.

(I couldn't sleep after I got home from the event last night, so I had fun with my camera haha)

The dress I wore - the colour of my nails matched the purple almost exactly! Score!

On another note,
I've been looking at swatches of Models Own polishes lately, and I really want to order some now! Does anyone have any of their polishes? Or any suggestions on which shades I should order? :)

China Glaze - Loves & Hates

I love China Glaze polishes. It's one of my favourite brands :) The application, for most of the polishes I've tried (give or take a couple) is very smooth and even, and doesn't bubble for the most part. Except for this one yellow I bought, which was absolutely horrible! I purchased this yellow because the colour was gorgeous & looked like sunshine :), and I wanted to try out the formula.

As you all know, it's very hard to find a good yellow nail polish with a good formula. The program I am in deals mainly with the printing industry, and I work with a lot of pigments, with yellow being the hardest pigment to work with.

Anyways, the yellow I purchased was Happy Go Lucky. I love the colour, but it bubbled so much. :( I'm actually really disappointed lol

This shows you how badly it bubbled, considering this was the finger that had the least bubbling hahaha D:

So overall, this polish sucked, and made me sad. I'm still on the search to find a nice yellow formula!
Does anybody know of any nice yellows that have a good forumla??



This colour is one of my favourite polishes ever. It's called Peachy Keen.

It's the perfect balance between a pink & yellow peach colour, unlike other peach polishes that tend to lean towards one or the other. There's not too much pink or yellow, and it's perfect for spring & summer! The application was amazing too, and it didn't bubble at all (unlike Happy Go Lucky)



I'm sorry for the poor quality photos, I couldn't find my memory card for my DSLR the week I photographed these.

More CG & other swatches coming soon!:)

Trans Design Haul - China Glaze & OPI

Woo! First blog post :)
I was debating whether or not I should start a blog for a while now (doesn't everybody debate this?)

This is my first haul from Trans Design. The prices are very affordable, and the shipping isn't too mad. Mind you, I live in Canada, which means shipping from just about anywhere is higher than if I lived in the US.
Shipping for everything I ordered came to &23.76, which seems pretty high, but when calculated out, I actually saved quite a bit - if I had purchased these from Sally's, it would have cost me a lot more.

China Glaze are $2.99 each
OPI are $5.24 each - Trans Design is liquidating all their OPI though, so get it while you can!
Color Club are $2.49 each

Anyway, on to what I purchased!

Secret Peri-Wink-Le, Caribbean Blue, Towel Boy Toy, Four Leaf Clover, Turned Up Turquoise, Love 'Em/Leave 'Em, Who Are You Wearing?, Pucci-Licious, Jade Is The New Black

The Ten Man, Ruby Pumps, Lap of Luxury, Peachy Keen, Sun Worshiper, Happy Go Lucky, Innocence, Re-Fresh Mint

OPI Drip Dry

OPI Avoplex Cleanser - free gift

Everything came very nicely packaged, with lots of foam beans & the polishes were packed in China Glaze boxes. I was very pleased with the delivery!

I will have swatches of these colours in later posts, I already have a few photographed! :)
