Friday Favorites {on Saturday}!

Happy weekend everyone! This morning I'm bringing back my Friday Favorites {on Saturday}. I've been on Pinterest {follow me here} A LOT lately so I thought I'd do a post on my favorite pins this week! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Tonight I'm having my 28th Birthday Party with all my girlfriends! My Birthday isn't until next Wednesday {boo weekday Birthdays} so a pre-birthday celebration is happening tonight! Posts on that next week!!*

Nude Lacquer for Spring

Nude Lacquer for Spring by vodka-caviar 

I have been on the hunt for the perfect nude nail polish for awhile....some are too dark for my skin tone some are too light. It's hard to find the perfect colour! After many {failed} attempts I think I have finally found a few choices that I think will work! Last week Shoppers Drug Mart had a buy 1 get 1 free nail polish special so I invested in Essie Topless & Barefoot and Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Pink Slip....so far so good! I have heard rave reviews about Topless & Barefoot  so I was super excited to try it out...as well as Ballerina Slippers {which is always sold out}!  Sometimes you just want something subtle on your nails! What are your favorite nude colours? What ones do you recommend?!*

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday everyone! This time next week I'll be lounging by the pools in Vegas! But for now here are my favorite things from the past week! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!*

I'm not really into DYI and arts and crafts... mainly because I get uber frustrated and I'm really not that crafty! But this DIY from Pinterest {follow me here} this week seems like something I'd be able to handle, and adds a super cute touch to your everyday bathroom necessities! Follow the link below to some other cute DIY Candle Jar ideas!

12 Days of Favorites*: Day 10

Glitter Ombre Nails

If your like me and have little to no artistic abilities this is such an easy way to add some flare to you nails! I'm a HUGE fan of sparkle so I love this idea especially for the Holidays! From my experience the best brands for Sparkle Polish to use are: Essie, Sephora for OPI and Deborah Lippmann.*

Stuff You'll Love!

You'll Love: Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

Whenever I pick up and magazine I {like every other girl on this planet} find myself drooling over the expensive products they recommend you buy. Sometimes I cave and buy them. But most of the time I opt for the less expensive but equally satisfying alternative. So I thought I would post the products I love and that I buy on a regular basis. These are all things I think are worth spending your time and hard earned money on, and I think you will love as well! 


Nail art has become quite the trend lately, and I totally love it...but my artistic skills are subpar at best....I could probably handle the odd white dots on a bright coloured nail but that's about it!  When I heard about the new Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color I was pretty apprehensive about trying it, because let's be honest...the Crackle nail polish wasn't the best. But my friend had the Magnetic Color on yesterday and it looked amazing, so I went right out to Shopper's Drug Mart and picked myself up a bottle! And I love it! It's super easy to use, dries shiny {and quickly} and looks like you had your nails done professionally!

The polish comes in 8 metallic shades {shown above} and includes the magnet. First apply a thin base coat to all 10 nails and let dry.  Next, apply a thick coat of color to one nail and immediately hold the built in magnet over the nail with the build in rest just under your cuticle. {Make sure you DO NOT touch your wet nails with the magnet, just hover}. Hold the magnet in place for 10 seconds, repeat for all 10 nails one at a time, let dry!  The iron filings in the polish rearrange themselves under the magnet to create the wave design on your nail. 

I chose Graphite Gravity, which is the darkest of the collection and I love it! The wave design shows up as a silvery colour which tones down the darkness of the polish, perfect for fall!

I think you'll LOVE this polish! You can purchase it at your local drug store for $9.99 a bottle!*

Spring Favorites

As I've mentioned in previous posts, nail polish is one of my favorite accessories...! It's one of the easiest ways to add colour to an otherwise neutral outfit. I pretty much purchase a new nail polish every time a new collection comes out, or whenever I go to the salon.....it's a horrible but wonderful addiction! Below are my favorite colours for spring.

"Charged Up Cherry" is my #1 favorite spring/summer colour, I wear it all the time and usually don't rotate my colours during the summer because I love it so much! BUT....when I feel like a change {or run out} the other 4 colours shown below are my alternative go to's!  What's your favorite spring/summer colour?!*

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! As you can see below the weather here is not typical spring weather...! But we made the most of it with delicious margaritas and mexican food....! On Saturday I headed to the mall to get a few spring pieces for work....and a new delicious fragrance {I was getting tired of my Angel so I thought I'd put it away for awhile and try something new!}*

yup! It's April.
