Yes, so i bought more nail polishes! I can't help it, they make me as happy as makeup does! The Trade Secret near my parents now carries some newer Zoya collections so that's good news. I have always wanted to try Zoya. They also had the new Essies and OPI Suedes, yey!

Here's a picture of my haul:

This look was inspired by my glitter nails. I'm not happy the pictures didn't come out that nice :( but it was nice and summer-y as we're now finally having a summer here in Ottawa, lol! Hope you like it.

I've been wanting to wear this polish for a while since I got it with my last H2T haul and finally got a chance last night when we were meeting up with some friends at a pub downtown. This is Misa's Disco Queen and is a green toned gold glitter, it's just beautiful. The application was smooth and even one coat was enough but I did two out of habit. It also dried very quick. I'm definitely pleased with all my Misa's and this is no exception.

Here's a picture of it for your viewing pleasure:

I had only a tiny amount of sleep last night. For some reason I woke up at 3 am and couldn't go back to sleep :/ so right now I'm just holding up with coffee till I go home. Fortunately, I work only till noon today so I can nap after that. Since I was incredibly tired this morning, I loaded up on bright colours so I appear less tired. Oh, and please ignore my nasty eyebrows, my face needs some TLC, lol!

Who doesn't own Dutch Tulip? It's probably one of the most popular colours OPI makes and I believe it's part of their permanent line as it's always available at Trade Secret. This is a beautiful pinkish red and glows in the sun. Application as always is streak free. Gotta love OPI's formula and brush.

This is tow coats and I think I could have used another. I was just being lazy.

I think I'm catching a cold coz I'm shivering now for no reason :/ Fall hasn't even started and already I'm getting sick. I was super slow this morning with my MU so got to work a lil late. But I was happy with the MU, I just couldn't get a decent picture showing all the green glory.

And so September is here! Luckily, it seems like we'll have another week of relatively good weather before the official start of fall. I slept in this morning and did a quick FOTD that I don't wanna post coz it's too simple :/ Instead I remembered that I still haven't reviewed my lovely glitter liner, so here it is:

Lise Watier makes amazing glitter liners! I've heard rave reviews from some friends (who wear makeup, lol) and have always wanted to try them. I picked up the shade Sunshine. It's a multi-coloured glitter, with gold, green, red (that's what you see when the light hits it). It applies very smoothly and lasts until you take it off.



I bought mine at Shoppers Drug Mart but they didn't have all the colours listed at the Lise Watier website. These babies cost $17CAD and to me it's definitely worth it. I've tried loads of drugstore glitter liners as well as MAC's glitter liners and none come close to LW. The liners are gorgeous over a black gel liner lick Blacktrack to give your eyes extra glamour. You can also add them all over your lid on top of your eyeshadows. This is displayed on the Lise Watier website though I haven't tried the all over look yet.

Anyway, I can't think of any cons, though $17 might be pricy for some but I think the product is so great it's worth it. Here's a swatch of Sunshine on my hand:



I'm already lemming:
- Smokey Gold
- Black Diamond
- Night Magic

Need to pick these up eventually....so freakin pretty!
