Welcome Spring!!!

Hello!

It's been such a long time since I posted anything. Mostly because I was lazy. In November, I was busy with some year end items for work, and then I went on vacation for about two weeks. Then from January onwards was really busy. There was also about a few weeks where I wasn't painting my nails and I didn't buy anything that fun.

I did end up selling the rest of my nail polish collection that I no longer wanted. So that was very good. Now I have about 40 bottles of nail polish. The reason I started my blog was because I was trying to display my collection and stop buying polishes. Somewhere in the beginning, I lost sight of that and just bought a whole lot. January to April is my busy time at work, which is my most stress. Usually I buy a lot of polish and eat a lot of cupcakes. Starting last year, I only bought a few bottles of polish, and I ate less cupcakes. I started going to the gym. So while everyone at work gained about 10 pounds, I lost 20 pounds. So that was pretty big for me. This year, I'm trying to keep up with that. It is difficult when your work hours are like 14hr days, and then you somehow fin time to go to the gym or have some exercise. It is challenging.

Anyway, I wanted to share my look last week. I really liked it. I got inspiration from someone in Instagram, and just used different colours and different glitters. I think her look is better than mine. You can search for aaasanooo and it'll come up from google.  Her nail art is so pretty.

This is my recreation. I used for my thumb to middle finger: OPI Pirouette my Whistle and Polka.Com
Ring finger: OPI You're Such a BudaPest and then a little bit of OPI Pirouette my Whistle
Pinky: Essie Petal Pushers and OPI Pirouette my Whistle


I really like it even though my nails are mis-shaped because I was in a rush. What I liked about this was it looked so different but it didn't take me such a long time because I used glitter polish. It dried pretty quickly. A lot of people at work liked it too, because it was like a design but not too in your face.

Another favourite I wore was Eurso Euro


The only polish I bought this year is from the Hello Kitty collection. I wanted to do a review on this, but I never got around doing it. I took me a long time to decide whether I wanted to buy this or not. This was after I sold all my remaining polishes. I felt like I had more or less a clean slate. I just kept the ones that I couldn't go without. A lot of places now, OPI sells in Canada for $12.50 in store. I would order online but it's spend $25 and then free shipping. Going by my "clean slate", I couldn't just buy $25 worth of polish. I allowed myself one polish. Luckily the place I ended up finding Spoke from the Heart was $9.50 after tax! I was happy about that.



I'm so glad I ended up with this colour. It goes on so well at one coat. I still painted another coat. It's jelly like. Such a pretty colour. I do like the wrapping of Hello Kitty.

Thanks for reading this post.  Hope you will have a good week!
