Made to Honor …

 

Hey guys! I know its been forever since I made a post … this month has been a busy one! Anne and Frank’s wedding was this past weekend, John was the best man and I was the maid of honour alongside their siblings (Anne has a younger sister and Frank is a twin) … It was an absolutely gorgeous wedding … a real life fairy tale! Anne even arrived at the church in a horse and carriage … the reception was decorated beautifully with a white diamond curtain backdrop, candelabras at the head table … words can’t describe how beautiful everything was and the food was amazing … it was definitely a celebration to remember … we partied until the wee hours of the morning! I am absolutely thrilled that they can finally call each other husband and wife!

I loved the dresses that we wore – the colour was a pale yellow, material was very light and it is definitely something I will wear again …. maybe on my next Caribbean trip (which will most likely be for my wedding … J and I are having a destination wedding and it will be quickly approaching… its crazy how time flies!)

Ok, now on to the nail polishes :P … I have been on a little bit of a nail kick as of late … Trade Secrets is having a sale where you buy one Essie nail polish and you get the second at half off – so I picked up “Made to Honor” (love the play on words and how fitting for this post!) which is a pale nude pink (I wanted this colour to try doing at home French manicures – also got Rimmels French White tip which has a VERY thin brush applicator – it was on sale at Rexall for $3.49) and Van D’ Go which is a pale milky peachy pink. I have yet to apply them to my nails because my manicure from the weekend is still in tact and I don't want to ruin it just yet …. but I am hoping that the quality is the same as the other Essie ones I have tried… I am generally quite pleased with the quality of that brand and I like the small brush applicator. My friend Conrad also bought me an Essie nail polish as a little early “birthday” gift in the colour Merino Cool which is a taupe with a hint of purple. I love it! Actually, it reminds me a lot of Rimmel’s steel grey so if you already have that, you might want to steer clear – I have yet to compare the quality of the polish and how it applies on the nail. I also got the cuticle oil last week from Wal Mart (which now carries Essie nail polish – I was very surprised!) because I have extremely dry cuticles. I must say, I absolutely LOVE the applicator and blue squeeze tube – best cuticle oil that I have tried yet for sure! My favourite base and top coat is the Sally Hansen “4 in one” complete treatment. It is ride filling which I like because my nails are a little bit destroyed

If you guys have any favourite nail polishes you want to recommend, please shoot them my way in the comments section!

Hope you all have a great rest of the week!
