Nails of the Week: Snow-man of My Dreams

You can never own too many sparkly nail polish. This applies to this one as well. So when I spotted this at Shopper Drug Mart for $6 I didn't think twice. Its from the Nicole by O.P.I holiday collection and when these first came out I didn't pay too much attention to them but because it was one sale I couldn't resist. This reminded me a lot of my Rainbow in the S-Kylie from the Kardashian collection but with a more blue color rather than silver and smaller glitter.

Nails of the Week: Green With Envy

I love bright colors for Spring so when I saw this color I had to try it. Normally I'm not drawn to green, but there is something about this shade that I just love. When I saw this color I thought of Shrek.

Nails Of The Week: Marine Blue

I've become obsessed with blue nails for spring. I've see so many great colors come out in spring collections that I can't wait to buy. Plus its one color that my collection is lacking. So when Shopper Drug Mart had these Rimmel nail polishes on sale I couldn't resisted picking up a bottle.

Nails Of The Week: Raspberry Rapture

I haven't painted my nails in a couple of weeks because they have been very weak lately and keep peeling so I decided to give them a break for a little bit. Finally they started to cooperate and because the weather has been so up and down lately between warm and freezing, raining and snowing, I needed to have some kind of brightness in my day. This is probably one of my favorite nail polishes ever. It's a really bright pink color that I got a couple of years ago and fell in love with it.

Drug Store Haul

I ended up going to Shoppers Drug Mart because they had a few things one sale that I wanted, just to walk out with only one thing that was on sale. Very typical of me.

Clothing Haul: H&M, Aritza, Forever 21

I haven't been shopping for clothes in months so I splurged on myself and indulge in new clothes for Spring/Summer. The first stop was H&M, this is a store that I can walk in and every time walk out with at least one thing.

Nails Of The Week: Ashy Grey

I had never tried GOSH nail polish before but they had a holiday set of the smaller Oh My GOSH nail polishes which seemed like a good way to try them out. The set had five nail polishes in it and this is the color 017 Ashy Grey. I really love grey nail polish for winter because it is a darker neutral but not too dark.

With two coats I got a opaque finish, which is great because I always decide to do my nails last minute when I have to run.

This is the third color I've tried out of the set and so far I haven't been disappointed, hopefully the last two will follow the same path.

New Year, New Products

 December turned out to be a month of trying new products for me. Over the last few years there are products that haven't changed at all. And as time has gone by certain things I use I've become increasingly more unhappy with so I had to find new things to replace them with. Then I just had to try a few things that I've heard great things about. 

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.
