Nail-job craving: Something sparkly — yes, because it’s the holidays, but I also am trying to make someone else in my household feel more comfortable (more on that tomorrow!).
How I satisfied that craving: At the Revlon preview I attended yesterday at Tips Nail Bar, with two base coats of Smoldering (an elegant iridescent silvery lavendery shade, with a glittery layer of Stunning overtop.
How this nail combo make me feel: The look feels pretty versatile, like it can be dressed up (for a chic soiree)–the sparkle is subtle enough for it–or down (for a hipster bar). Whenever I look at my nails (which is more often than is healthy!) I think of that prismatic silver ribbon, know which one I mean?
Love it or hate it: Love, as did at least two other peeps at the event (one editor tried the same look, and the other is planning on it for a party she’s attending on the weekend)… I like to think of myself as a muse (kidding!).

Nail-job craving: At the Revlon event at Tips Nail Bar last week, I got Craving Coral on my hands, and I truly was craving that shade…because I used…
How I satisified that craving: …Revlon Coral Me Wild on my toes.
How this nail colour makes me feel: It’s much more of a watermelon-y pink than it appears in this photo, btw. I’ve been lovingly glancing at my toes all week — this shade makes me feel light on my feet and looks great with all of my summer sandals.
Love it or hate it: Love. Must buy.

My hot pink and yellow half-marathon nails from two weeks ago? Those pointy pinkie nails sure did direct me to the finish line — I completed the race with a personal best time of 1:54:43, yo! I don’t think I can beat that time this Sunday (I simply can’t imagine going any faster or harder than I did on the 15th) but I still feel a lot is riding on this manicure for the Toronto Women’s Only Half-Marathon…
Nail-job craving: Some killer, eye-catching nails. I told Leeanne at Tips Nail Bar that she could do whatever she wanted with my nails for my Toronto Women’s Only Half-Marathon manicure — she’s so amazing and knows what styles and colours I tend to gravitate towards so I totally trust her.
How Leeanne satisified that craving: Check out the colour-block masterpiece on my nails. She used Axxium in Alpine Snow and then China Glaze neon colours (much more fluorescent in real life than in this pic, I swear!) in Celtic Sun, Orange Knockout and In the Lime Light. Finished with a top coat of INM Out the Door (how appropriate!).
How this nail job makes me feel: O.M.G. I’m so in awe of my nails that I’m afraid they may distract me from running fast as I can. In fact, I’m a bit at a loss for words to even describe how awesome this mani is. Juicy, citrus-y, sunshine-y shades = pure joy! These nails will give me energy on race day.
Love it or hate it: I think you know the answer.
