Nails Of The Week: Minted

When I bought this color I was on a quest to find colors that were a little softer than the normal bright and bold ones I normally wear. I'm not normally a fan of the color of green but this comes out as a pale green, almost baby blue looking. Depending on the lighting depends on the intensity of the color.

Cozy Socks

I've never been the type of person to want novelty socks. They didn't need to have a print on them or even different color. Ive always just stuck to my white Hanes ankle socks. That was until I saw these.

I was in bath and Body Works the other day when I picked them up and felt how soft they were. Now they're regularly $7.50 which I'm still not sure I would pay for a pair of socks but I got them at the outlet store so they were 50% off making it a 2 for 1 deal because I got two pairs.

They're Shea butter infused so they soften your feet and they come smelling like fresh cotton. They also have the no slip grips on the bottoms so you don't go sliding. They come in a bunch of different colors and patterns, christmas themed ones an ones that are folded to look like cupcake that smell like vanilla.

The one thing I learnt though is they are not friendly with shoes. Which is my own fault because the label states that they are lounge socks. I wore them to work today and my shoes started to eat at them. So they are definitely not good for that but good for around the house. Which is perfect for me because I always have cold feet in the winter and I find slippers uncomfortable.

Nails Of The Week: Rainbow In The S-Kylie

There are two things you need to know about me, one I am a HUGE nail polish junkie, and two I can't resist anything sparkly. So yesterday being Sunday and Sunday being the day I change my nail colour every week lead me to believe that spotting this nail polish had to be fate. When I went to Shoppers Drug Mart I had no intentions on buying any new nail polish and even had this weeks colour picked out but when I spotted it I knew I couldn't leave without it.

Its called Rainbow In The S-Kylie from Nicole by O.P.I Kardashian Kolor collection. It is the opposite of subtle and as my friend describes it, looks like rainbow fish. Its perfect for the holiday season and I haven't been able to go anywhere without someone complimenting me on it, the grocery store, school, or work.

It has a clear colour base and different sized and coloured sparkles. I used three coats and got a really good finish on it. Next time I think I'll put a colour underneath it to see if I can add a little extra to it and give it more of a pop. It has turned out to be one of my favourite colours I own.
