Julep

First manicure is two coats of Zoya "Shelby", my favourite Barbie pink, topped with two coats of Claire's "Candy Shop". I liked how girly this was. 

 I've forgotten to skip the last two months in the Julep Maven program so I have some new Julep polishes. This one is unique to my collection and I really  like it a lot. The formula wasn't great (super thick so I'll add thinner next time) but I loved the finished result. It is Julep "Nikki".  **

This is one coat of Julep "Oh Canada" over two coats of Julep "Diane" It's sort of Christmas colours but I figured it was subtle enough to get away with.

With matte top coat.

** Speaking of Julep. I have these bottles for sale. Only $6 each (retail for $14) or 3/$15 plus shipping (check out my shop for shipping prices). They have each been swatched on the bottle except for "Chloe" as you can see below.

Turquoise

I'm loving my Glint & Gleam purchases from Shop Lately except this ring is just too big for me to wear. It's gorgeous but the size throws me off. I'm selling it for $7 if anyone is interested! 

I saw this combo on Tumblr but can't remember where! It was a gold crackle over top of a turquoise blue. Love! This is my favourite crackle look I've done in a while. I used SP crackle in "Cracked Gold" over China Glaze "For Audrey".

 Simple outfit I wore out to a bar to watch UFC 143 with my husband and then to a friend's house to play Things (so funny!).  I wore my new Target dress and belt.  I love the simple cut of the dress. It's easy but flattering. Course, you can't see it well here, haha. The belt is bright green!  This dress can definitely be worn all year round in a multitude of ways. Part of the reason I bought it (besides the fact that I loved the fit and that it came with a belt haha) is because I hope to use it as a guide to make a similar dress or even just some skirts with this cut.

 I liked my hair! I pinned it up in sort of a lame way but whatever, it worked and it's better than my funny looking pony tail! I just did a pony and then used a large barette to clip it up against my head.  I doubt that made sense...  then I curled the front bits. My hair really hangs in my face because I have a small forehead but once and a while, it behaves and I can wear it down in front.  That said, you can see I tucked a bit behind my ear here, haha. That was only because it was windy out!
