Manicure Monday | Neon Lights

Heyy girls,


Okay, so I've already shown you this color that I have on my nails this week but the camera didn't pick it up right at the time. So here is what China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy looks like (keep in mind that this color is even more neon in real life)...

Je vous ai déjà montré cette couleur de vernis à ongle que je porte sur mes ongles cette semaine, mais à ce moment là ma caméra ne montrait pas vraiment l'intensité exacte de cette magnifique couleur néon qu'est China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy (la couleur est encore plus néon en vrai)...

Manicure Monday | I am French

Heyy girls,



This week I decided to go with a classic manicure. Yes, you've guessed it: French Tips manicure. I used Nailtini nailpolish in Frappe and Jordana nailpolish in White to create this look.

Cette semaine j'ai décidé d'aller avec une manicure classique. Eh oui, vous l'avez deviné: la célèbre manicure française. J'ai utilisé le vernis de chez Nailtini dans la couleur Frappé et le vernis blanc de chez Jordana.

Manicure Monday | Ice Ice Baby

Heyy girls,

I think I'm going to try something new on my blog... I'm not sure how it is going to turn out but I think I'm going to do it half in french and half in english. So this post is going to be an experiment. :) Hope that all my French readers enjoy that new turn!

Je crois que je vais essayer quelque chose de nouveau sur mon blog... Je ne suis pas sure de la tournure que ça va prendre, mais je crois que je vais essayer de traduire en françcais ce que j'écris normalement en anglais. Donc, cet article est expérimental :) J'espère que mes lectrices qui parlent français vont apprécier!

So, if you've read my July Favorites 2014, well you know that I've been obsessed with this nailpolish that I bought recently at Shoppers Drug Mart which is Essie Borrowed And Blue.

Si t'as déjà lu mes Favoris du mois de juillet 2014, eh bien tu sais que je suis obsédée par un vernis à ongles que j'ai récemment acheté chez Pharmaprix. Cette couleur est Borrowed And Blue de Essie.

Manicure Monday | Blue Ocean

Heyy girls,

Even though it isn't Monday anymore I decided to share with you the nailpolish that I've been wearing this week. Actually, I didn't think that I would be posting one Manicure Monday because I've just started a new job where I can't wear nailpolish (I know it's sad). Plus I have to keep my nails shorter than what I usually do. Let me tell you that I already miss my long nails. But I finally had the time to paint my nails on Sunday. And the color that I chose is... Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nailpolish in Pacific Blue. A color that I recently added to my collection.



And you might be thinking now: "Not another blue nailpolish!" But this one is magic I promess! Okay, maybe not magic but it's close to in my opinion.

Manicure Monday | Fruits On My Nails

heyy girls,


this Manicure Monday is going to be very quick because I'm drowning into school work right now. You might think that I am being a bit dramatic, but I assure you that I am not. I am so stressed out this time around, especially when I look at my planning for the next three weeks... 
What I like to do when I'm stressed is catching up on my favorite Tv Shows while painting my nails. Right now, I am obsessed with Hart Of Dixie, Arrow and The Originals. So Saturday night, I was freaking out when I saw that I almost accomplished nothing school related that day. So I just decided to put nailpolish while watching an episode of a Tv Show that for some reason I can't remember which one it was, but that's not the point. Basically, I didn't only paint my nails that night, but I've also cut them. 



So, now you might think: "Wow, you're being so dramatic over the fact that you've cut your nails." Well, you're maybe right, but from someone who swears by only filling their nail (aka me), it is a big move. 


But anyway, all that drama moment was to warn you that my nails are shorter and that my skin around them is very dry because I'm stressed. And when I'm stressed, I'm picking my cuticles and all. Gross, I know!

Manicure Monday | Flip Flop Fantasy

heyy girls,

last week I wrote a Manicure Monday about easy nail arts that I think would be very cute for Spring. I really wanted to try doing an ombre nail effect, but I didn't have the material needed (like makeup sponges... I can't find mine). So, instead, I've decided to show you a color that I've been dying to wear during the last few weeks. Ladies & Gentlemen, let me introduce you to... China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy. **Unfortunately, my camera didn't pick up the color well**




My camera didn't pick up well the coral neon color that this nailpolish has. It looks almost like a pale orange, but in reality it's so bright and summery. I'll put pictures that I took with my Iphone for you to have an idea of what it looks like. Sorry for the picture quality.

Manicure Monday | Spring Inspiration

heyy girls,


I realised last night that I painted my nails a color that I've already shown here (Essie Under Where?), so I've decided today to show you something a little bit different than what I usualy do. I am going to show you Spring nail arts that I found on blogs and on Pinterest, and that I think is cute and easy to do. Easy. Yeah, you read it well. I want to share with you easy Spring nail arts because let's be honest, not everyone is super talented in nail art. I know that I'm not (but I wish I was). I can't be alone in my situation, right?

Ombre nails
I've never tried doing ombre nails before but it doesn't look that difficult... I mean I will surely missed my first tries but that's okay ;) I love this green to light blue ombre nails tough!

 Color blocking
Now, you might be thinking: "But Isabelle, I will never be able to acheive a perfect ombre nail art". Well, I thought about it and yes, there are easier nail arts that I can show you. So here it is: the color blocking nail art! You simply go over you current nailpolish with another color and TADAMM! You have your fabulous color blocking nail art. It's as easy as that.

Stripes
Please tell me that I'm not the only who thinks of Victoria Secrets when I look at this picture. I just thought it looked easy to recreate and so girly! I love it!

Glitter accent nails 
Of course, you don't have to recreate this exact same look, you can only put a glittery top coat over one of your nails and you'll be good to go. I just love the chunky glitters over the glittery nailpolish. It just looks so classy and glam!

Please tell me in the comment section which nail art you want me to recreate!

Manicure Monday | Give Me Some Blueberries

heyy girls,

today I'm very excited to share with you a new brand of nailpolish that I've never tried before. I wasn't able to find that brand in stores, so I ordered online on FTB Beauty, a canadian online retailer. This week nailpolish is from the brand...(drum rolls)... Barry M! I know what you might be thinking right now: " Barry M has been around for a while now, why haven't you tried that brand earlier? " Well, shipping from Europe to Canada is crazy expensive! #canadianproblems




I don't know if you can tell by the past Manicure Mondays but blue is my favorite color ;) I didn't even planned on wearing blue nailpolish 3 weeks in a row, but oh well! Also, please excuse my dry fingers! I cannot wait for Summer to come...

Manicure Monday | Bikini Ready

heyy girls,

this week my friend Justine (hi girl!) asked me if she could borrow Essie Bikini So Teeny from my collection. Of course, I said yes and then a lot of people of Youtube started wearing that color again (not because of me duh). It made me realised that we are officially in Spring. Here in Canada it is still snowing. So, in honor of the Spring time, I've decided to wear Essie Bikini So Teeny on my nails. Oh! And don't worry I'll show you new nailpolish colors next week or when I'll receive my order from FTB Beauty.



It is the perfect baby blue color for the Spring and Summer time! Love it!

Manicure Monday | Blue Intrigue

Heyy girls,

for this week Manicure Monday I decided to dig back into my "old" nailpolishes. I found a Revlon Colorstay nailpolish that I haven't worn in a while. If you follow my blog since the beginning, you might have already seen this color, but oh well. I just think that this is such an unique color and that it deserves to be talked about more.



This week, I am wearing on my nails...(drum rolls) Revlon Colorstay 030 Intrigue. It is a grey-ish blue with a silver sheen to it. To me it is a great color to transition into Spring. It isn't too bright, neither too dark. It is nothing dramatic, but you still get that pop of color. I don't remember how good the staying power is and I haven't worn it long enough to tell.


On my ring finger, I am wearing Essie Butler Please. I hesitated painting my nails this color instead of the Revlon Intrigue that I am wearing in those pictures. Since my nails were painted with a more neutral toned blue, I decided to add this bright deep blue color. It adds some dimension and a pop of color.

For my base coat, I am wearing the usual ; Essie All In One Base Coat.


And I protected it with the top coat from Seche Vite. As you can tell I am obsessed with this product!

Manicure Monday | Coral Perfection

heyy girls,

I've decided to start something new on my blog...Manicure Monday. Every Monday, I'll show you the nailpolish that I'm wearing this week or just a nailpolish that I have in my collection. Sometimes, I'll do tips and tricks. I don't know if this is going to replace the Monday Challenges, but we'll see.

Today I am going to show you a nailpolish that I got recently at Walmart. It is from the brand Essie. This color is very popular and is definitely the perfect coral for the Spring time. Did you guess it? Yep. You're right. It is Tart Deco by Essie.

Tart Deco is a gorgeous milky opaque true coral. It isn't too pink, neither too orange. With two coats you have an even and opaque finish on your nails. Please excuse my dry hands, winter really needs to go away!


As a base coat, I am wearing Essie All in One Base. I might do a review about this product, but you've heard already so much from me that I dough it to be necessary. For my top coat, I am wearing the usual; Seche Vite Top Coat.

Monday Challenge | Blue Nailpolishes

heyy girls,

I'm back this week with another Monday Challenge. This week challenge is about blue nailpolishes. I don't own a lot of them, even though I love this color, but I've decided to do it anyway. Don't forget to leave a comment saying what are your favorite blue nailpolishes! Here are the questions...

Do you wear blue nailpolish on your nails?
I'm not wearing blue nailpolish right now, but I do wear this color often on my nails because it one of my favorite colors.

What are your favorite shades of blue? Sky blue? Deep blue? Shimmery blue?
I tend to buy light blue nailpolishes because they don't look too bright compared to my very pale skin. I also gravitate towards shimmery or different looking blue nailpolishes.

♡ Nail Art | Valentine's Day ♡

Heyy girls,

I kind of wanted to continue with the topic of nails today since yesterday I did the Monday Challenge: Nails, Nails, Nails... I got very inspired to do a Valentine's day themed nail art. It is very simple and you don't need to be an expert at nail art to recreate it. If you try this nail art please send me a picture on Twitter :)

 
1- Apply a coat of your favorite base coat. I'm using All In One Base by Essie.


2- Apply 2 or 3 coats of a pink nailpolish.
Don't apply the nailpolish on the ring finger. We'll put another color later. I'm using Cute As A Button by Essie as my pink nailpolish.

Monday Challenge | Perfect Manicure

heyy girls,

what better than starting the week with a Monday Challenge? I know, I love it too ;) This week is all about nails. I've also decided to show you my top 5 favorite nailpolishes of all time. Let's get started!

What are the tools you use to accomplish a perfect manicure?
First tip that I can give is file your nails instead of clipping them. I've been doing this for the past month and I have seen improvements; my nails are definitely stronger.
 
What is your favorite nailpolish remover?
I've been using the Sally Handsen nailpolish remover since I can't even remember. It's just the product that my mom has been using for ever, and because of her I'm using it too. It does remove well your nailpolish, but isn't too harsh on your nails at the same time.

 
Do you have any nailcare products to recommend?
I don't really have cuticles oils or fancy stuff like that. The only thing that I could recommend is a good base coat that corresponds to your nails' needs.
 
Do you have any trick to help remove cuticles?
Not really. Maybe try to moisturize your hands more often.
 
What is your favorite base coat?
My favorite base coat at the moment is All in One Base by Essie. I bought at Winners at a discount price and it's probably the best deal I've ever made so far. I got it for 6 or 7 $CA and it retails for at least 10$CA at the drugstore. #proudofmyself
