Nail "Art" Blue Skittles

PSA: If you text me saying you have a random urge to walk into Sephora and come out with some random nail polish (despite never having done your nails or wanted to in your entire life) I will reply in ALL CAPS to come over and not waste your money because I own 250+ different colours of nail polish and at this point it's probably more like 300.

So guess what? ;D

Left to right: Rainbow Honey Charaxes, Rainbow Honey Lumine Hall, Rainbow Honey Prussian Sky, Rainbow Honey Midnight Fountain, Essence Walk On Air. As you can see from the lack of linkies, she was the first to try a couple of these polishes :D

PSA#2: Don't come in and say "blue" because I will hand you 20 polishes....

This is Sarah!! She did all these things and then let me paint her nails! She's the coolest person and is apprenticing as a car mechanic.

This is her "what have I gotten myself into" face

Ta daa!

This was actually also one of my only times to have ever painted someone's nails. I was about to say it's my first but then I remembered I painted a lovely friend's digits with Zoya Dahlia. Sigh.

I was kinda going for a skittly-ombre-y kinda deal here.

This is my first successful skittles mani also btw. I'm just not good at them, I pick clashy colours.. Practice makes perfect I guess!

So I hope this encourages my nearby friends to always text me for nail polish things :D. What colour skittles would you have asked for?

Thank you cupcakes!!

So as you may be aware, on Friday I kicked a rogue tiger in the face and/or single-handedly wrestled the snakehead out of Burnaby Lake and had to get six stitches (Read: I got hit by a door on the way out). I will spare you the ugly heel shot for now, but basically I had three people willing to hold my hand for 3.5 hours.

That calls for thank-you-for-not-leaving-me-alone-to-die cupcakes of course!

We found this recipe and I brought over a big fat delicious mango from home to get started. The recipe is kind of open-ended, but I recommend adding butter to thicken it, not icing sugar, as the sugar overpowers the delicious mango-pango goodness.

Mango puree~ NOMS

You add the mango and taste test - ours was really light and fluffy thanks to the butter, and the mango flavour just made you crave more. Mmmm.



SO ANYWAY.

Devil's Food cake mix!

Branden's mom also had coconut bits lying around, so we iced some cupcakes and dipped them in and VIOLA:

Mmmmmmm!

Artistic shot ;)

Leftover puree? ICE CREAMY GOODNESS.

They are freaking delicious, mang. My people (Moein, Ronak, Spencer, Maria) will love them, and hopefully know how much I appreciated how they took care of me =)
