#summernorules - ICE CREAM

While ice cream is good, I much prefer sherbet.  My favourite is Blue Rasberry Sherbet from Baskin-Robbins.

Blue Skies is a creamy pastel blue crelly-based polish with blue, grey and white multi-sized glitter.  What a fun Spring/Summer polish and somewhat similar to my fav sherbert!!

#summernorules - CANADA DAY !!

Happy Canada Day!  This is the 5th manicure of the #summernorules.

You can't wrong with a mixture of red and white.  For this manicure I used Essie's Blanc, China Glaze's With Love and Julep's O'Canada.  The vinyl maple leaf is from Beyond the Nail and they have a crap ton of nail decals, so worth checking them out!

Next up is Independence Day.  If you want to join in, here is the schedule!

Beyond the Nail's Spring Blue

Spring Blue is a pretty pastel blue creme.  This is a great formula for a pastel and only 2 coats for opacity.

Beyond the Nail's Neon Lights

Neon Lights is a milky crelly-based glitter polish consisting of pink square, blue hex and micro yellow glitter.  I achieved opacity with 3 coats and it applied very easily.  What a fun polish!!

Beyond the Nail's Chew On This

Chew on This is a pale pink pastel crelly-based glitter with white bar glitter and grey, purple & pink hex glitter. I laid a foundation of OPI's Mod About You to brighten it up so it would look a bit better on me.  Great application!

Beyond the Nail's Birthday Celebration

Birthday Celebration is like a glitter party on your nails.  It's a milky white crelly-based polish with different shaped green, blue, purple, orange, pink, red, and yellow glitter.  I applied 3 coats to achieve opacity.  There was no glitter fishing necessary, so it was easy to work with.

Beyond the Nail's Purple Micro Glitter

Here is Purple Micro Glitter from the lovely ladies over at Beyond the Nail.  As the name says it is a purple microglitter.  As with most microglitters I have, I applied 3 coats to achieve opacity and added a top coat...you could go without and get a nice sand like finish.

I am really liking this one, purple (my fav) and glitter, what more can I ask for :x

Look at the 'pink' when the light hits it just right!

I saw some new polishes from Beyond the Nail on Instagram over the weekend...soon time for some more shopping.

Beyond the Nail in Peppy Leopard

Beyond the Nail is a indie polish maker located relatively close to me, yep they are Canadian :)  With the high shipping costs and our dollar tanking internationally (it is up to a whopping .90 US) I try and shop within Canada.  I ordered 4 polishes back in December but only swatched them, as my nails were a mess.   Although I am still trying to rock the nubbins I just had to pull out this polish and wear it.  Most who know me, know that I have a thing for purple, even if it doesn't look great with my skin tone.

Peppy Leopard is a clear based glitter chocked full of purple and silver micro-glitter with pink hex glitter. Two coats and it was completely opaque and to make it more shiny I applied a coat of Seche Vite.

They are going to be at the One of Kind Spring Show & Sale in Toronto the week of March 26...might have to take a trip west to check the polishes out in person.
