Spring Shoe Fever

Hello loves.

I'm starting to get a real case of SAD, it seems as if the snow is never going to stop here.

My current shoe wardrobe is in serious need of updating so I thought why not create a spring shoe wish list?

I'd like to add more pops of color as I tend to stick to the neutrals when it comes to footwear.

Doc Martens  - Are these not the most appropriate spring color?! I've been lusting after a pair of Docs for years but at $200 they're not exactly budget friendly. One day I will own some.

Guess Sandals - I hope gladiator sandals never stop being stylish. They're comfortable and easy to pair and this pop of pink screams spring and summer.

Billabong Sandals - I have a slight obsession with sandals during this time of year because I despise socks. As soon as I can stop wearing socks I will until the bitter cold returns.

F21 Sandals - Oh, what's this? Another sandal! You bet. I need something for those summer party nights and these fit the bill.

Cut Out Boots -  Boots are a more comfortable way to rock a heel and are office appropriate while still having bare feet.

Wrap up Sandals - This particular  pair is out of my price range but the wrapped look is super cute and one I've never tried to pull off. I like how these are flat as well.

Bow Sandals - Simple but cute and easy to wear.


Do you guys bare it all during spring or do you continue to cover those toes up?

Good morning loves!

This morning I just wanted to share a little piece of my Instagram with you. 

Yesterday's FOTD - I've been on this red kick lately. 

 The blue/brown color combo. You guys, this just might be my new favorite thing.

Another selfie. One can never have enough am I right?

My attempt at an ombre liner. I'm trying to branch out and try new things with my makeup.

Tropical eyes, this has been one of my favorite looks I've ever done. Who knew I would love playing with color so much?

Last weekend, spent with good people.

Stargaze Lily - Sally Hansen

 

Good morning loves.

The winter in Alberta seems to be never ending. To try and combat my sadness I bought this polish while dreaming of sunnier days.

Sally Hansen's polish in Stargaze Lily. This is a gorgeous shimmery lavender shade, probably one of the nicest colors I've ever used. A week ago I wrote about the Sally Hansen polish in Daycream and how the formula was might I say garbage. This one unfortunately wasn't much better. The color is so light that it takes three coats to make it opaque nor does it apply smoothly. Could it be due to the amount of coats needed? I don't know but I do know when dry there was a ton of tiny little bubbles all over the nail instead of a nice even, smooth finish that I was hoping for. I wish I could get past the formula of this because this color screams perfection to me. If anyone knows a dupe for this please, please let me know in the comments because I adore it!

What's your favorite spring color?

Daycream - Sally Hansen

 

Good afternoon everyone!

I've finally used all the nail polishes in my current collection so when I wanted to test out something new, I headed to my nearest Wal-Mart. 

I've always found Sally Hansen to be a reputable brand and price wise these were the most affordable option. Before I go any further, let me say, I've tried amazing one dollar polishes and really horrendous ten dollar polishes so I don't think price is a reflection of quality.

These retail for $2.50 and this time they let me down.

The color is aptly named "Daycream." A pale pastel pink that takes about three coats to make opaque. 

The color is simply gorgeous especially as we transition into Spring. The formula on the other hand leaves something to be desired. I let these dry for at least an hour and one accidental rub over the nail it was smudged and caked up in different areas. Maybe it was because I didn't apply a top coat but honestly I've never had anything on my nails that was so easily moved after drying that long.

 I have another polish from this range to try out and my hopes aren't high. Updates to follow.

What's your favorite Spring time color?
