My friend and I had a bit of girly day yesterday: we noshed on sushi, I dyed her hair, and we gave ourselves manicures. It was the perfect way to wind down the weekend, if I do say so myself.
I was excited to finally try out this new Soulstice Spa Nail Polish that I received from Nail Polish Canada. I'd never heard of this brand before but I like that it's vegan, cruelty-free (verified by PETA), and 3-free. All the polishes are named after cities - from Rio to San Francisco - and there are a wide variety of shades to choose from.
Provence is a pretty muted lilac that reminds me a bit of Joe Fresh Faded Violet. Application was really smooth and I only needed two coats to reach opacity. Since I used thin coats, the polish dried quickly with a shiny (but not too shiny) finish.
I decided to paint my ring finger a different colour as a kind of accent nail using Skinfood Grape Milk and some nail art pens. Skinfood is a Korean beauty and skincare line that I wish it was more accessible here in Canada.
I just noticed that my nails actually kind of match my blog layout. I guess I inspire myself? Haha.
ohhh i really like the colour nail polish you got from soulstice spa =)

Ohh - I love the combination of the two colors with the nail art on the ring finger. So cute. I am the boring type and usually always do french all the time, I think I might try some similiar colors. Thanks for the inspiration. And I love that comment about your inspiring yourself - hehehe - too cute!
