Event Ready

Hi all. After a long and insanely busy week (or two...) I'm finally DONE with the event that has been eating up my time. I didn't get a chance to take as many pictures as I would've liked but here you go:

Nails: Anacapri Pink by Borghese | Ring: RW & Co | Dress, top and blazer: H&M | Shoes: Ardene

I work at a non-profit organization that prevents the sexual exploitation of children and youth. Our organization's colours are fuchsia and gray, hence my slight touches of pink here and there. I didn't want to be overtly fancy at a business formal event so I went with all black but popping accessories paired with some nudies on my feet tee hee :) Thought I looked damn professional.

Anyway, the event turned out so successful and we got great feedback for it so it is definitely rewarding despite the fatigue that comes along with it. We were able to fundraise a good sum of money so I'm just happy that nothing went wrong. I also ate like a pig last night with all the unlimited food there so I can certainly say I feel like I gained a few pounds. The end.

Pretty in Pink

TGIF.
I decided to start my day off by pampering myself with a fresh mani! Unfortunately, my right big toe nail remains as only half a nail and growing due to a basketball injury so the pedi will just have to wait. Anyways, I got a bit crafty and mixed up a simple colour that I've been wanting for a while but just been way too lazy to get up off my bum and look for. I mixed it in an almost empty OPI bottle of polish that was a nude shade to begin with. I'd describe the final outcome as a 'dusty pink/rose/nude' (Haha I couldn't make up my mind..).. and at least that's what I was going for and it turned out beautifully. I tried to capture a picture with my iPhone camera but the picture does no justice to how the actual colour looks in person!

Thanks to these guys, I was able to create my colour!

From L > R: Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry in 'Pink Blink'

Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength in 'Pink Gleam Rose'

Revlon in 'Silver' (which is pretty much a flat light grey)

End Result: Ta DA!

Just when I thought I was done...
Try applying a pattern or sparkles to add some asymmetrical edgey-ness and fun! I used a bobby pin to dot the white polish for the index finger and Gosh's 'Magic Star #562' as a top coat for the ring finger which gave it a subtle sparkle! There's so much you can do - be creative!!

A sneak peak of a part of my continuously growing nail polish collection.. I really need to think of a new way to organize them but they ARE colour coordinated! ;) Any suggestions?

Ps. Hope you enjoyed our first nail polish entry! Many more to come.
