Rescue Beauty Lounge Recycle

origami's pick.

Dark green creme. You know, I was so enamoured with this polish when I got it. But now that it's been around for a while and there are more polishes like this, I'm kinda blah on it. I need something to kick-start my nail polish enthusiasm.



Two coats with top coat. I have bald spots, I know. I shouldn't have them with this polish, but again, a case of not waiting between coats. Sorry for the crappy application.

Creation of the Moment: Oh good gravy. I just put my blog through Wordle and it turns out the word I use the most is like. *Facepalm*

Sinful Colors Bleeding Heart

Bleeding Heart is a classic red creme. For some reason, it photographs much more orange than it is in real life. I think it's like photographing purples for me, they turn out blue and reds turn out orangey. Anywho, I'm surprised how much I like this polish. Just simple and classic. Also awesome that I got it on sale from London Drugs.



Two coats with topcoat. Applies very smooth with good pigmentation. Although it is a bit thick. Doesn't level out as nice and I would have hoped.

Obsession of the Moment: Coins. I love collecting coins. The Canadian Mint has come out with these collectible circulation coins to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Parks Canada. I think these coins are awesome. I just screen capped these off the Canadian Mint site. Check it, check it. And yes, we have coloured coins. Teehee!

OPI Pink Me I'm Good

Heather's pick.

Pink Me I'm Good is a Barbie pink jelly with gold glitter. I love the way this looks, but not on me. I just feel ridiculous wearing this. Like I should be a complete air head or something. I don't know why. Colours don't tend to get to me like that. Just pinks like this. *Facepalm*



Two coats with topcoat. You still see VNL, but I liked how it looked at just two coats. Applied well. The glitter goes on evenly, but it is slightly bumpy.

Funny of the Moment: I'm a bit amazed at how true each and every once of these truths are. Just hilarious. Hope you get a laugh out of it.

Sally Hansen Commander in Chic

Oh man, my arms feel like jelly. I'm so out of snow shovelling shape. Everything is sore. Lol, so sad. Anyhoodle, onto origami's pick.

A mousy purple, brown, and grey creme. When it comes to cataloguing colours like this, I never know where to put them. I just know I love'em.



Two coats and topcoat. Perfect application. Blame the bubbles on the top coat. I even really liked the brush on this one. Contours nicely to the curve of my cuticles and just made it super easy to apply.

Pic of the Moment: So recently I got sucked in by the entity that is Pinterest. There are just so many awesome, beautiful, and glorious things on there. For anyone interested, check out my Pinterest here.

This is one of the things I found on Pinterest and wanted to share. So cute. So geeky. Enjoy!

Carlo Di Roma Pure 11

Heather's pick.

I always feel like I'm one of the only people in the world who like sheers. I just think they're so pretty. Well, the sparkly ones. 11 is a sheer pink polish with silver microglitter that flashes that lovely green and pink. I have pictures of the polish at one and two coats.





The bling-age increases at two coats.

Application was smooth. No major issues to report.

Pics of the Moment: My dad and I like to take walks in a ravine near our house. I have to admit, we're really lucky to have this green space so near our house. If you've been following me for a year or so, you've probably seen the various pictures I've taken of the area. So have some more! We saw some deer on our walk.

First we glimpsed.


Then we spotted this little guy trying to hide.


And then we were like, hey, where'd you come from?


Then we rounded the corner and went wow, this is so nice. So I snapped a pic.

Nfu-Oh 558

Deep blue jelly-creme. I would say it's almost a jelly, but stays within the realm of creme. I really love this colour. Reminds me of the darkest part of the ocean. Also reminds me of Nicole by OPI In Your Hands, but more creme than jelly. Anyway, it didn't look this bad in real life. Sorry for the bad swatch.



Two coats with topcoat. I have a feeling this one is going to stain when I take it off, judging by my cuticles. So, highly pigmented. But slightly goopy formula. That could just be because my bottle is old though. Ended up with bald spots despite how dark it is. Probably because I'm lazy and never wait for one coat to dry before putting on the next.

Pic of the Moment: This is more of a shoutout for StBFF. She's got midterms right now so I just wanted to wish her good luck.
