Sephora OPI Brunette on the Internet


What a silly name. What's not silly? This gorgeous jelly! 


Squishy, rich, deep and lovely. Gods this is awesome.


Such a grown up colour after all the sparkles and glitters.


2 coats. Probably could have used 3 as I see some sketchy spots on my right hand for sure. And be careful, clean up is a bitch with this one!


See the shiny? This was taken during a rain shower AGAIN. Well actually it would have been a sun shower, but still.. blargh. 
By the way, I found the Nubar Glitter collection. There will be more glitters coming soon! ;)

Orly Pixie Dust


I had to run outside my backdoor to get these not so great semi-sunny pictures.


It doesn't show the sweet sprinkle of shiny that is in Pixie Dust. Awww. 


This is a 3 coater for sure! But I love the way it looks on. Very Elegant. 


I found nail polish heaven last week.. again the Aesthetics certificate comes in berry handy!


Even against my dog bench (we bought a bench for Pickles to look outside. Spoiled much?) the Pixie Dust is slammin'!

NYX Asphalt, Wet n Wild Black Creme


I was going through my polish pics file and found some I took from when we actually saw the sun. I thought I'd show them to you. 


I found a Rexall drugstore when they had a 50% off all polish sale, thanks to Perrypie for letting me know there was some here in Calgary!


Oh NYX! Your mascara is one of my faves, and your polish is de-lovely! This is 1 coat of Asphalt over 1 coat of WnW Black. Isn't it pretty?


And since there is scant content, here is a picture of my dog Pickles in a hat. 


He's such a ham. Whenever I try to take pictures of anything (my nails, my knitting) he beetles right over to the camera. Such a performer. Totally different from my other dog Max. You'll meet him too. :)

Orly Out Of This World


The weather here has been really overcast and rainy. It has been tricky to get enough sun for proper photos! 


I lucked out with a little spot of sunshine for this purple polish. 


But I do have to say, I don't think there is really anything special about this one from the Cosmic collection. 


This is 2 coats. It's kinda sparkly, but nothing to go searching for. I think it may be the dud of this collection. 


What do you think?

Milani Cyberspace


I ordered more of the Milani holos from Cherry Culture when they had their last 20% off sale (and another one is going on now!) and got them last week. 


I love these polishes! Such happy shiny colours. 


Icy blue with rainbow shine. Even if our summer here had more rain than I have ever seen before, this polish still glittered on. 


Our grass is so green still! It is usually dead and brown by now. 


I have to wait for strategic sunlight for picture taking. See that blurry glitter? LOVE IT!! 2 coats with a topcoat (Duri I think) that only made it shinier.

I'll be posting details of a giveaway I have planned for when I hit 50 followers soon.. only 2 more to go!

Orly It's Not Rocket Science


You know you have an in with the Sally's gals when they call you about the new collection you asked about. 


I picked up 4 of the 6 Cosmics, and felt a little bad.. there wasn't going to be any left when they put the collection out for everyone else. The regulars looked like they were gonna clean house on it!


I know that Space Cadet is the big winner winner, chicken dinner of the collex. But my heart swooned for this one.


Murky, green, sparkly? Count me in! This is 2 coats, full sun. I lurve it. 


Not that I didn't pick up Space Cadet and Galaxy Girl and um.. Out of This World too. 
Because I totally did. :)
Happy long weekend dollies!
