NOTD: Classy and Elegant

Two of my favourite polishes that go together are Snow Cone and Gum Drop by Orly. I purchased them at the same time because they went so well together, and also because they were polishes I didn't have before.

I did this manicure during the summer, when I was looking for something pretty, elegant, and kind of pastel-y, and I also wanted to try out some of the designs on my BundleMonster plates, and this is what I came up with:

NOTD: Glorious Blue Houndstooth!

I was craving a classy yet pretty manicure the other day, and while I was cleaning my BundleMonster plates I remembered the success I had with BM 322, with the houndstooth pattern so I decided to use that.

I was wearing blue that day so I decided to use two blues to go along with my outfit, and this is how it turned out...

NOTD: Hexy Glitter Accent Manicure!

I know, I've been gone for a while... bad Julie is bad! However I was doing a kid's camp all last week and most of my other time was spent with my boyfriend - that's not to say that I didn't do my nails!

There was this cute little girl in my 'crew' named Lily who developed an obsession over my nails and she would look at them every day and tell me what I should do the next! She had these gorgeous golden blonde curls too - it reminded me almost of what I was like when I was a little kid!

Now to the important part: today's manicure!

First Bundlemonster Manicure!

So with my Bundlemonster plates that came in the mail today, I was really eager to try them out so originally I decided to do one nail a different colour with a darker/lighter shade used to stamp with a different design on every nail... but after several attempts at a finicky small design I decided to go with something bigger ☺ for some reason with just having the base colours my nails reminded me of pastel macaroons... yum!

Konad + Bundlemonster Stamping Plates

Yes, my Bundlemonster plates finally arrived!!!!!

packaging it came in!

KONAD Stamping!

So yesterday, not one good thing happened but two!

First of all, my sister's package came in the mail... it took long enough! And second of all, I went to my local KONAD kiosk in the middle of the mall here, and I got a stamping kit :) because the BundleMonster kit doesn't contain a scraper or a stamper you have to get your own, which is a downside but it does make it cheaper.

I got the starting kit that contains plates M2 and M3, as well as red, blue, and white of the mini polish! Having never stamped before, it took me quite a few tries in order to get the hang of it, but I finally got it :)

I have a funny story about the sales lady at the KONAD kiosk: she had a quite a bit of an accent, I'm not sure if she was from Poland or the Netherlands but instead of pronouncing "scraper" with a hard "eh" sound, she said "scrapper"... but I heard it as "crapper"! I had to try hard to keep myself from laughing when she was talking about using the 'crapper' and now that's what mother calls it now!

I also got another nail polish, and I'll also be posting photos of that later tonight as well as photos of the plates :)

The nail polish however if you want to get a reading on it is is Prism from the China Glaze Prismatic Chroma Glitters Collection, it's a gorgeous colour with purple holographic microglitter  and chunkier multicoloured glitter. You know that gorgeous glittery purple unicorn that everybody imagined when they were younger? This polish is exactly that shade, it's a gorgeous shade of glittery lilac!

Knowing my camera, it'll spaz out when I try to take photos of the glitter and it won't show up half as amazing as it looks in the bottle... but I'll try to photograph it accurately!

To The Vet's and the Mall!

Good morning world!

I have gotten neither of my packages in the mail so far, however I have a feeling that one will come today, fingers crossed!

However today is the special day... my guinea pig Maddie has an appointment this morning at the vet's (she doesn't know about it yet) to get her toe nails trimmed!

Mail Anticipation!

This week I am waiting for two very important items to come in the mail... a package from my sister and the 2012 Collection of nail plates from BundleMonster, which I ordered on the 30th of June and I got the email that they were shipped on Monday, so they should be here soon - but I'm not sure how long it takes a package from Hawaii to ship to Canada!
