Aloha!

Aloha guys! I just returned from Hawaii a few days ago, which is why I haven't posted in a couple weeks. I wanted to show you guys my nails from the vacation, as well as some photos of Hawaii.


I started off with my nails like this. My ring finger is a gradient of Pool Party from China Glaze and Watermelon from Essie for the sunset and Blue-Away from Sally Hansen and Ogre-the-Top Blue From OPI for the water. The sand of the island is real sand from the beach near my house here in Canada. I made the palm tree with a black striper. The rest of my nails were a gradient of Pool Party and Watermelon.


A sort of foggy looking photo underwater at Waikiki beach in Oahu.


After about 5 days in Hawaii, I changed up my design. I used Pool Party and Watermelon, as well as adding in some black and white stripers. On my thumb I wrote "aloha", which has three meanings: hello; goodbye; and I love you. I was going for "hello". On my ring finger, I wrote "shaka". Shaka means "hang loose" or "good vibes". 


This is a catamaran on Waikiki beach.


This is surfboard rentals on Waikiki beach. 


And a sunset at the Polynesian Cultural Centre. 


And finally, a photo from snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

More Nail Polish

Hey everybody! Sorry I've been MIA lately. Exams are coming up, so I've been busy preparing. Then, to make everything worse, our modem broke and we had no internet access. I couldn't do certain homework, and of course, couldn't blog. :p Anyways, I've have lots to tell you guys.

Firstly, Saturday was a fun and busy day. I went shopping and picked up the mini set of the new OPI Liquid Sand polishes from the Mariah Carey collection.


The mini set comes with all four Liquid Sand polishes; Get Your Number, Can't Let Go, The Impossible and Stay the Night. The first one I have tried is Get Your Number.



It's a really pretty sparkly blue. And, definitely after it had dried (it takes about 10 minutes to go matte), it really did look like sparkly coloured sand. 


Here's a photo to show you how sparkly it is. :p

I'll be showing you the other one's soon too.

Anyways, after shopping on Saturday, a friend and I went to the 2013 20 Valley WineFest and met the celebrity chef Chuck Hughes from "Chuck's Day Off" on Food Network. He's one of my favourite chefs, so this totally made my day. We also met Elle, Caspar and Antonella from the Food Network show "SugarStars". I'm a huge fan of them too. They're super funny and make awesome cakes and candies. So, you can see how I enjoyed me Saturday. :)

Then, yesterday, something even more awesome happened. My 007 contest prize from OPI showed up. I haven't snapped any photos of it yet, but I should have some up in the next couple of days.

Talk to you guys soon!
