St Patricks Manicure.

Happy St Patricks day everyone! I don't celebrate this holiday but any excuse to do a themed manicure is ok in my books haha. I finally had an excuse to use the Party of Five polish i got a few weeks ago.

Please excuse my wrinkly hands, they are a curse! They make me look like i am at least 80 years old.

I had an interview yesterday, now playing the waiting game. I hate that so much! I kept myself busy making earrings. Got about 30 pairs done! I also opened an Etsy shop finally, i will start listing items on it tomorrow. I had to figure out postage rates before i could do anything, what a damn pain that whole system is.

Dollarstore eyeshadows are the best.

Not even kidding, i love them so much. They are always SO pigmented and stay on all day. Every dollar store shadow i have bought is always very creamy too, which aids in awesome application.

Here are the two palettes i picked up the other day at Dollarama. I did a couple swatches so you can see how pigmented they are. Each one is very shimmery and all of the colors really suit each other. I am going to have a lot of fun playing around with them all!  

Has anyone else tried Dollarstore makeup? Any treasures?













 

Also just for fun, my newest creations! I think i may start up an Etsy store, i have heard a lot of great things about using them to sell your products. I could spend all day on that website, i don't think my bank account would like that though.

Rings, rings, rings!

Finally got the supplies i was waiting for to start on some rings and necklaces! I feel like i have been waiting forever. Felt good to finish them finally. =)

Ladies, i need your opinions!

I have been working like a mad woman coming up with some new earring designs and i need your help! I am having a hard time narrowing down which ones to go ahead with, so i have been asking friends and strangers to tell me their favorite designs. All of the designs are so different from one another, so having multiple opinions from people with different tastes helps so much.

If you are interested in helping me out, please send me an email and i will send you all the designs i have on the go right now. kenzie.conrad@gmail.com

Thanks everyone!! <3

I've got the jewelry itch!

I decided to make jewelry again, i really have missed it. I have been working on a bunch of earrings and finally have them up for sale! I am also making rings, necklaces and hair accessories i just have not received all of my supplies yet. I am getting very anxious as i just want to get going on my projects!

Here are a few examples of what i have created these past few days.

 

Here is a link to an album i made on Facebook, check it out and let me know what you think! Any feedback is good feedback =) I made the album viewable to anyone, if you have Facebook feel free to add me as a friend!

Summer nails for my winter blues.

Hi everyone! I finally sat my butt down and did a quick mani last night before i headed out to a hockey game. I wanted something bright and colorful as i am very tired of winter.

I received some fimo fruit slices i ordered in the mail and i have been very excited to give them a try. They applied a lot easier than i thought they would. Sometimes when i take a quick glance at my hand i think the watermelon is a lady bug and the rest of my fingers are leaves. Maybe that will be a mani in the future!
I apologize for the state of my cuticles, i did not clean them before i took the picture. =(

 I went to a Wal Mart near my friend Mandy's house and hit the mother load! I have been looking for the Wet n Wild Coloricon palettes everyone has been loving but i haven't been able to find any for the life of me. That all changed as I found two last night that i've been wanting, I'm Getting Sunburned and Don't Steal My Thunder. I think i may have done a little victory dance when i saw them, i hope no one was watching!

The colors are so shimmery and they are also very pigmented. You can enlarge the photo for better detail. Wet n Wild always surprises me with the amazing quality of their products, especially for how cheap they are.

I also picked up a Wet n Wild polish "Party of Five Glitters" and Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Check It Out. This is the first time i have seen the Salon Effects in a store in Canada so i was extremely excited when i saw the display case. I sure hope these work better than the ones i bought on eBay.

The Wet n Wild polish has five colors of glitter in different sizes. If you look at the full size image you will be able to see it closer. I can't wait to use it!

What goes up, must come down.

Hey everyone,

Sorry I have not posted in awhile, life has been pretty hectic and I have had no time to sit down. My poor mum fell off her horse on the weekend and broke her shoulder, so between that and returning from my trip to BC i have had no time to do anything.

I know i promised that water marble tutorial and i swear i will have it up as soon as i can!

Hope you're all doing well.
