Just a little catch up. I have successfully worn makeup at least 5 days out of 7 for the past month. I like to give my skin a breathe, or if I plan on getting sweaty or dirty, I don’t bother, but will face up once I’ve showered afterwards. I’m enjoying my CoverGirl foundation, [...] . . . → Read More: Just a Bit of Everything

I love OPI colours! I really do! Vibrant and something for every mood. But today? I’m just not feeling the love. I wanted something strong, but neutral. So I pulled out the Chocolate Moose. I HATE the sheerness of it. Four coats to get decent coverage!! ACK. While there are some polishes [...] . . . → Read More: I’m Just Not Feeling the Love Today

I painted my nails blue this morning. Chi Chi “Toy Boy” in fact. It’s very much a Blue Curacao blue. I was marvelling at the colour and slight sparkle, when it hit me. As pretty as the polish was, plain nails seemed boring. Seems that I’ve been looking at too much nail art. I have dance [...] . . . → Read More: Pas Une Manucure Française

In my last post I spoke about how I am starting do DO things with my hair and nails. The hair has pretty much only had the colour done, and I might get it shaped again before winter sets in, just to make it easier to set. But my nails have been getting a workout.

I turned 34 this week. So I thought I’d do 2 things to celebrate. Dye my hair “reddish”, and do something different with my nails. So I did. I’m very happy with how the dye came out, I think I’d like a little more red the further into winter we go, however. I enjoy having red hair, it [...] . . . → Read More: Hair & Nails
