Tuesday Treasures: Nail Polish Fit for a Bride

This week on Tuesday Treasures, I'd like some wedding advice! It will be very hard for me not to do something bold on my nails for my wedding, as I'm not a neutral nails girl by nature. However, I don't want to be looking at photos 25 years from now and questioning my choice of nail art. I think I'd better stick to classic on this one.

Pick your treasure! What's your favorite neutral wedding-appropriate nail color? Brides of the past, I want to know what YOU wore on your big day!

My pick: OPI Glints of Glinda from the Oz the Great and Powerful collection.

I love this as much as I can love a neutral polish, but I know myself, and I know I'm going to want something new for the wedding. There are a few shades in the new OPI Muppet Collection that look promising - I Love Applause and Chillin' Like a Villain.

Gwen Stefani for OPI

Just in time to perk me up from the winter blahs, I got an e-mail from The Summit on Spring Garden Road inviting me to the launch of the new Gwen Stefani for OPI nail polish collection.

It was so hard to choose my manicure, as all of the colors looked amazing. I finally decided on gold (Love.Angel.Music.Baby) with a black accent nail (4 in the Morning). No top coat needed!

The finishes on these shades are very unique. Love.Angel.Music.Baby is a gorgeous matte gold. It looks like it would be gritty to touch, but it's actually very smooth. I keep wanting to change the name of this polish to Rich Girl though...

The finish on 4 in the Morning looks like smooth matte leather. Apparently when you add a topcoat (which is not how the polishes were designed to wear), you can see tiny gold flecks in it.

Susan (spa owner) was a pleasure to chat with during my mini manicure and the attendees left with a mini polish to try at home. I got Hey Baby- a  creamy hot pink. I feel like I already have a few polishes similar to this one, but a girl really can't have too much pink, can she?

Thanks to The Summit for having me!

The Outfit Post that Almost Wasn't

Disclaimer: Almost no effort was taken in the creation of this outfit.


This photo was taken on Sunday, and I wasn't even going to do an outfit post, but it was such a nice day....


Outfit would be yawn-city without the pops of pink, right?

Details:

Shirt: Lucky Brand (Toronto)

Jeans: American Eagle (Halifax)

Scarf: The late and great Margolians (Truro)

Bracelet: A booth on the main drag at Huntington Beach, California

Sneakers: Converse (Las Vegas)

Earrings: What on Earth (Dartmouth)

Necklace: Forever 21 (LA)

I saw a picture in a magazine of black nails with gold sparkle tips, so I decided to try purple nails with turquoise tips. Next time, I'd do a narrower strip of sparkle.

XOXO
