Broadway imPress Manicure

 

Hey,

Long time no blog!

You might not know this, but I am obsessed with nail polish! While I can't lie and say I'm a pro at painting my nails (actually I kind of suck at it!) I still try to paint my nails at least once a week, not matter how long the post cuticle clean up may be. I'm always on the lookout for new brands, colours, or other exciting nail related products. To my delight, I received an email that informed me that I was chosen to receive some free products from Influenster and Broadway Nails. Yippeee!
The package arrived and inside was not one, but two sets of the imPress Manicures from Broadway Nails.

As you can see in the picture, one set is a bright pink nail with black and silver shimmery designs, great for summer! The second set is from the Disney Villains collection, and this particular colour is 'Evil Queen' from Snow White. (You can check out www.impressmanicure.com for a ton more designs.)

The packaging says that the nail will last up to a week and comes in 12 sizes with two of each size in the box..maybe you can find a friend with different sized nails and each get a mani out of this box.

The application process is on the box step by step and is pretty darn easy! To paraphrase: clean your hand and nails, find the right fitting nail, peel off the plastic cover, stick and press! finito!


Here's what it looks like when complete!
I've had the nails on for about 5 days and they are holding up...so the claim that they last a week is pretty accurate!

That's all for now! Go test em out!

New Trend: Bright Colored Pants

I'm loving this new trend of brightly colored pants! I was SO close to buying a pair of pink jeans today but I decided against it. I really want to find a pair that's light mint green or baby blue..but those seem to be harder colors to find. Many stores are selling these pants at the moment. A few I've come across include: Forever 21, Fairweather (for 50% off), Garage, Dynamite, Aritzia.. most popular clothing stores it seems.


LOVE this color.








For those who don't feel comfortable
in super tight skinny jeans (like myself), the baggier colored
pants look pretty awesome as well.

Trendy Purses for Spring and Summer

HI!

So far this Spring I've been noticing and increasing trend it a certain kind of purse. The trend is extremely cute and will most definitely be continuing into Summer! Have you been noticing any trends, and have you already figured out what trend I'm talking about? There are two trends I've noticed and they go great together. The first trend I've noticed is very small purses that have long straps that can go over the shoulder; cross-body or can be removed completely to change the purse into a clutch that can be carried or tucked under your arm. The second trend is bright coloured purses. I absolutely love bright colours, and they seem to be popping up all over this year in accessories, clothing and shoes! So awesome! These small and bright purses can be found at pretty much any store that sells purses and come in all different shapes and colours. Whether you only have $10-$20 dollars to spend on a new spring and summer purse, or you have plenty of extra cash to splurge on a trendy bag, you should be able to find some great ones! Anyways here are a few examples of these small and/or bright trendy purses that I currently own, and a few recommendations that I think are super cute and that I wish I had!






I bought this really cute envelope style pink purse of Ebay. The gold chain is long enough to wear cross body or to hang off the shoulder. It is also removable so i can carry this bag as a clutch. I also ordered the same purse in yellow because I loved it so much, but it's still in the mail! It fits pretty much all the essentials like your wallet (mine is fairly thin, so if you have a big one, you might need to downsize for this purse), your phone, your glasses or sunglasses(maybe both), whatever lipstick and/or gloss you're wearing that day, your keys. etc. This purse was only about $9 and as I said it was purchased off Ebay, so pretty much anybody can afford it and have access to it. It comes in about 11 colours, so you can pick one that you like best or even get a couple like I did! Here is the link: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/110788818380?var=410049651985&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_12913wt_1010


This is another purse I bought recently. If you aren't a big fan of bright colours, but want a trendy purse for spring and summer than this is a great option. It is a great size to fit whatever you need to take along and even though it's just a basic black, the gold hardware and gold chain detail make it a little trendier than just an all black bag. I bought this one at Walmart for about $14 and it also comes in an Ivory colour. 




I actually bought this purse last summer, but i thought it was still on trend with this season so I included it. This one is really cute and feminin with the floral pattern and the little bit of frilly-ness in the fabric. I bought this for probably around $10 at a store called "Stiches" I'm not sure if there are many of these stores around but purses like these can be found in many stores, just keep an eye out!




 I bought this purse off the Forever 21 website a while back. I love this purse because it has the removable silver chain and it has a few different openings to hold all the things I carry around! I love the fold-over style and the silver closure. This is the perfect purse for pretty much any occasion because it can be used at a more formal occasion or just everyday use. 







This is another bag I purchased off of Ebay. It was also from last fall so I'm not sure if it's still available. It costs about $12, so again very affordable and accessible to everyone. Its really nice because the chain can be switched to be a long over the shoulder bag, into 2 shorter length shoulder chains or also tucked inside for a clutch style, or as you can see in the middle picture with a very small and short chain to use as a handle.
Ebay has a lot of great trendy things to buy, whether it be the purses  meantioned here or jeweley and clothing, sometimes it just takes a lot of browsing to find things you like.









All four of these purses are on the Forever 21 website and they are all under $25. All are great options whether you want to get colourful or stay neutral with you purse. 




 These four are all the Rebecca Minkoff Mac Mini purse. I think it is soooo adorable and I wish i could get one. As you can see it comes in some really fun colours, and a lot more fun colours not shown here. This bad boy costs about $200, so if you really want to splurge on a trendy purse this season, than I think this is a great option! 



Well those are just a few of the hundreds of purse options there are out there. Hope these examples were a little bit helpful in trying to decide what kind of on trend purse you want to invest in for the upcoming seasons!
