Tag: Nail Polish Addict

(source: weheartit)

I found this tag on Sunshine Rose's blog and decide to "steal" it as I realize I don't talk much about nail polish on my blog for some reasons.

1. What's your favorite nail polish company?


Barry M, definitely! It's one of the most affordable nail polish brand and it's amazing quality for the price. I really hope they will come to Canada one day!

2. Glitter or no glitter?


Glitter, even though it's a complete mess to remove, it's totally worth it! I love how it can totally change the look of any nail polish super easily.

3. OPI, China Glaze, or Essie?


I will have to say OPI because the only China Glaze and Essie nail polishes I have tried would chip incredibly quickly on me, which is disappointing for the steep price.

4. When do you change your nail polish?


I like to wear a difference nail polish every week (:

5. What's your favorite color on your nails?


Barry M Peach Melba because it's the most beautiful shade ever and it makes my hands look tan!

6. Darks or brights?


I would say I go for brights more often because they are more fun and original but dark are beautiful too, although more classy.

7. What are you wearing on your nails right this moment?


Catrice Cosmetics Nail Polish in 440 I Wear My Sunglasses At Night (gorgeous greenish black with pink&green glitter)

8. Matte nails - in or out?

I have never tried them but I'm not a fan, it just looks dull in my opinion.

9. French manicure?


I know a lot of people think this is a really dated look but I think it's very classic - when it's done right. To me a good french manicure is a nice light pink or nude with small white tips. Claw like, long white-tipped acrylics? No thanks.

10. Favorite Winter Color

I don't believe there is such a thing as winter or summer color. I just wear what I like when I feel like it!

NOTW: Red glittery tips

I wanted to do something different on my nails because Saturday my friends and I are going to Radio Lounge in Brossard for my friend Yanick's birthday. This is the best nighclub I ever went to, so I can't wait! Click here for a virtual tour of the club.

I usually do this nail look with black nail polish on the tips, but it really look great with any dark color.

This is really simple to achieve. I used:

• China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Bad Landing
• Very old glittery nail polish without label
• Sally Hansen Ultimate Shield Fortifying Base & Top Coat

So basically, I put a base coat first, then two coats of nail polish on the tips. I add the glittery nail polish, and a top coat, and tadaah!

EDIT: Kandie asked how I got that line so straight on my nails. First of all, if you look closely, you can see that's it's not that straight LOL. But anyway, the trick I have discovered is to paint the nail polish on the tip with little strokes up and down the tip of the nail, not painting a line from side to side of the tip. I hope it helps.

I'm going on vacations + Mail of the week (June 28 - July 2)

Just a quick note to let you know that I may be MIA from July 4th for about one week because I'm going to Wildwood for my vacations! I'm not sure if there's wi-fi available in the hotel room, but I will try to bring my boyfriend's laptop with me.
