Sunday Nail Lovin' #2

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I thought I'd do a pretty quick post on some nail colours I've been loving for spring but I'm a little disappointed in myself that I haven't got any green to show you. Hopefully these cheerful colours will make up for that.  If you read my last Nail Colour post, you'll probably notice that I bought the two colours I had been lusting after....  I have no self-control.

L-R: Essie: Tour de Finance, Tart Deco, Butler Please
I really don't have too much to say about these except that they make me happy.  I'm basically just loving everything bright for spring.

I know this probably sounds a bit ridiculous but I just couldn't resist buying a colour with my name in the title.  It's your fairly standard fuchsia but a great pop of colour.  I finally found Barracuda, a milky blue that I think is so light and pretty.  Almost like a more blue version of Essie's Mint Candy Apple (which I also picked up recently because it's stunning but I think we've all heard plenty about that).

On my nails now: OPI Axxium in Lucky Lucky Lavender with Essence Colour & Go in Space Queen on my ring finger.  Essence products just sort of popped up out of nowhere (unless I've just been oblivious until now) but I've been seeing a lot of them in Canadian fashion magazines and I think they have a nice, affordable range of products.

Finally, the colour I'm lusting after this week is Essie's Peach Daiquiri. It's a super bright red-peach-pink hybrid that is going to be beautiful for summer- especially with a tan.  I hunted for this baby yesterday but no luck.  Maybe I should take it as a sign that I don't need to add to my hoard just yet.

On another note, I'm really enjoying your comments and feedback- it makes me so happy to know some of my posts are actually being read!  As usual, I'm always eager to check out your blogs as well!
I hope you're all enjoying this super-festive day!
(And I'm sorry about the exclamation point overload)

Sunday Nail Lovin'


So it's the dead of winter and I'm looking for something bright and/or glittery to cheer myself up.  If you're in the same boat, two colours that I have been loving are Revlon's Dreamer (410) a creamy light blue that's soft and pretty and Revlon's Scandalous (761) a black polish with extra-fine and extra-large purple/pink glitter.
On my nails (as I have had for a distressingly long time) I've got a gel manicure with a colour by OPI that I'm so sorry to have forgotten the name of.  I've searched the internet high and low and just can't find it but I promise I will next time I go to get my nails filled.

Now on to colours I've been lusting after.
Sally Hansen Barracuda


Sorry to mention Essie Button so much, but she has fantastic taste in nail polish and ever since I saw her haul Barracuda (In this post) I have been in love.  Of course, I've had no luck finding it thus far but  I (oh so cheezily) still have hope!

Are you noticing a bit of a theme here? For some reason, despite going through a lengthy phase where I wouldn't be caught dead in anything other than muted neutrals or a french manicure, I'm suddenly in love with blues, purples and all things bright.  After the blue-nails-are-so-cool-and-edgy phase I went through when I was about 13, I thought they were a thing of the past.  But I guess everything comes back around, and there are a lot of brands that are doing the bright nail trend so freaking beautifully!

I'd love to hear about your current nail obsessions and I hope you're having a relaxing Sunday!
