Nail Art: Poppies

November 10, 2014 by Lesley 2 Comments

Rememberance Day poppies nail art

 

I have some nail art in honour of Remembrance Day today, which is tomorrow, November 11th. In Canada, in the month or so leading up to the day, we wear plastic poppies on pins in our jacket lapels, and even after three years living in the US, I can’t get used to the lack of plastic poppies around. I actually considered asking my Mom to grab one for me and send it to me in my Christmas package, so I’ll have one next year, but it might be weird. Of course, that’s not even considering that the temperature here in California is way too high to be wearing jackets with lapels in which to stick a poppy on a pin. I’ll have to content myself with poppies on my nails, I guess. See more pictures after the break.

I was going to show some China Glaze today, but then I realized that my hot pink shirt was reflecting in a bunch of the nails, making it look like everything had terrible bald spots at the cuticle. Apparently I need to go buy some more black shirts for blogging in! Conveniently, I had some swatches sitting around waiting for their turn, and I threw them all together for your viewing pleasure. See more pictures and my thoughts on each after the break.

I have a small limited edition collection today from the Sally Beauty exclusive brand, Finger Paints. This is the Fall 2014 collection, called Masquerade Affair, and I blame every other blogger who has swatched it for my lack of restraint, and also give them my thanks. I love every colour in this collection, and I wanted to keep every one of them on my fingers while I was swatching. See more photos of these gorgeous lacquers after the break.

Friend’s Fingers Friday – Social Stamping

October 17, 2014 by Lesley 1 Comment

This is the first of a recurring feature I expect to have, Friend’s Fingers Friday. Once a week, my friend Sandra comes over and I do her nails. She has no patience to sit at home alone to do her nails by herself, but once we turn it into a social thing, she rather enjoys it. She loves having me do stamping on her nails, and I harass her about her nails being too long for my stamper and how she needs to moisturize more. I get the benefit of being able to use more of my untrieds, and getting to do more nail art without changing my manicure every day. See more after the break.

About me

Hi, my name is Lesley Penney, and I first got into nails in the summer of 2014. I love nail art, cats, reading, and sushi, and I blog with the help of two feline assistants keeping an eye on me. I'm a Canadian living in the south San Francisco Bay area, trying to escape the heat.
