Niagara trip and yes I bought polish!

I have so much catching up with blogs to do, it is overwhelming but it will fun to breeze through and see what every one has been up to. Left for a trip to Niagara Falls/Clifton Hills Ont last wends. Which was brilliant, I haven't seen the Falls for years and years.



Woo, I was there invading Timmies like crazy, rocking the maple dip and lamenting that a large Ice Coffee is the size of a medium at Dunkin Donuts, but Timmies reigns supreme in taste and in that special place in my heart lol. Also I ate enough poutine to fell a lesser person, god love Swiss Chalet and their special gravy. <3



I have picture spam, but actually have decided to keep it light to just four pictures which you can click on to expand. Took some great ones with my BlackBerry which I need to upload as well. These pictures were taken by my nephew Max and they are extremely lovely, couldn't say no when he asked to helm the camera!


Was awesome from start to stop, Transformers 2 RoTF was on PPV. Ch-Ching. Unintentionally lulzworthy CBC programming...(The upcoming skating with the stars esque show featuring Stephan Richer!) gorgeous weather and just being back in Canada was a dream come true. Plus the heaven on earth known as Shopper's Drug Mart.


Any ways, here are some pictures of the majestic falls. Honestly riding on the Maid of the Mist boats and being surrounded by The Falls on either sides is the most beautiful and amazing thing you can ever see or do, really. I highly suggest it.


Oh...thing that is new to me, the vending machine in the hotel didn't accept bills,but credit cards, and only let you purchase one soda at a time and when I'm trouping out there with a child army to watch Transformers lol we were there for an age XD.



A view from one of the walking cutaways near the roadway, you can see one of the Maid of the Mist boats.




I believe this particular falls is called The Bridal Veil falls.




Here's a view of another Maid of the Mist boat, see the blue poncho's they are wearing to protect you from the spray? You get drenched obviously. But lol, it was so bloody hot that day, I felt like a turkey in one of those cooking bags at Thanksgiving. Which makes me even more appreciative to eat Tofurkeys lol. XD
Mind you UDPP in Sin, my makeup didn't shift in all that. heheheh.





This is Skylon Tower. We went up that. Horrors. Scared of heights and glass elevator. Not a great combination. But, managed it, didn't want to wuss out and be a baby, nine of us there after all wasn't going to be silly and be precious. You know what? It was not that bad! Was quite pretty, if it was steps I think it might have been more difficult on the scary department, but no, the views were in fact breathtaking and not at all terrifying. Besides I've been up the CN Tower so this isn't a touch on that.





Ok, you have been more than patient, here is the lone polish I picked up, it is from Gosh and is named Peachy, super cute I think.

Scherer Chameleon in Blue Sky

I saw these Scherer Chameleon polishes in Rite Aid yesterday and picked up one in Blue Sky, the only one that really stood out to me. Was really a pretty duochrome in the bottle. Was also able to pick up two cute Jesse's Girl brand polishes, very excited to have been able to snatch those up, seeing amazing swatches Kitty's blog. Most were sold out. lol


The formula on this, was going to say for the picture to mind my pinky nail which had a nick on it for my being clumsy hitting it before the pictures, but during the editing of the pictures just general doing things it sloughed off in chunks. Two coats with Poshe and apparently isn't super resilient a polish. Six chipped nails and have been wearing it under 15 hours. *shrug* Application was sort of thick as well. Which is a shame because the color is such a lovely duochrome. Shifts between a lavender and blue metallic. Really dislike poor reviews, but this one just seems to be be very chip prone. Dried very quickly on its own though.



Two coats, top of Poshe, indoors.



Outdoors, sunlight.



Going today to a family party, my little niece's first birthday party to be exact how exciting! Can not wait, such a sweetheart, should be all kinds of fun. Wicked fun to see her on any occasion never mind all super star party style!

Sally Hansen HD Lite, House Show Pics

Oh, horrible nail breakage last night broke one nail on hitting it against one of the plastic chairs and one I well, maybe..um...might have..um, well I may have. Might have. Could have done. Might have done. Ok. I bit my nail. And my purse. >.<.


LOL so wrong. Jessica Fail!


Well, at least that with all of my nails filed down yet again that probably rounds out the last of the big damage from the false nails.


This color really really does not suit me at all. It looks fantastic in the bottle, and applies extremely well, in fact it is only two coats with a top of Poshe, it did need the Poshe for shine, as on it's own it wasn't as shiny as it appeared in the bottle.


But this yellow on my pale and pink pallor. Not a good mix I reckon.



Indoors, two coats, Poshe top.



Outdoors, hazy.




Ok the wrestling! A lovely evening, we all went to dinner beforehand which was extremely yummy I had a grilled cheese with chutney and apples in it. Ridiculous! One of my fav. things ever.


Apparently you could bring proper cameras, which I didn't know, they used to be down on that at this particular venue, and I'm disappointed because I could have taken some really great shots! Especially of Maxy getting to shake ECW Heavyweight Champion Christian's hand! But unfortunately only crap shots with my BlackBerry.


:/


Boo.


Which leads to the nail breakage. LOL.


I can't even post my Burchill pics, cause I shook too much from nerves and it was shakezilla, maybe my sister or Stacey got better ones of him hur hur hur. But I do have some pics to share! Oh should have prefaced with teh Burchillz is my fav. wrestler. ^^ In fact many of my fav's were there including William Regal,CM Punk the aforementioned Paul Burchill and Drew McIntyre.


Here is Maxy and Masen in front of the ring, it was before the show so the tent was lit all in red for some bizarre reason. Tried to lighten it up and correct it as best I could.



CM Punk.

CM Punk and Kane, who is just massive in real life as opposed to just seeing him on television, he's 7'2 and looks every inch of it.



Drew McIntrye. Foxy, unfortunately he stopped the gimmick where he comes out in a kilt. I really really enjoyed that. Much more than I should. Lovely Scottish gent, talked on and on, got beat down by Ricky Steamboat. XD



William Regal! He got on the mic a lot as well during the match, people were on him a lot riding him for being English, he pointed out to the crowd that they were bloody stupid, too right as his opponent was Canadian, so their USA chants were moot. LOL. Christian got on the mic too and got a laugh out of it too.



Sorry for the quality of the pictures, did the best I could with the phone. Blast not knowing cameras were allowed now at the venue! All my gents lost, save CM Punk! Mine are all baddies though, but was glad Christian won his match. Was so much fun. Small tent shows like these are the only way to fly, once a year, every one has such a good time, suspension of belief. Seeing all the kids have such a good time. It's just brilliant fun. BurchillBurchillBurchillBurchill. XD Ok, now I'll stop and behave and be back to polish and normalcy and not fancying silliness.

Mon Cherry part 2, CVS Haul,Max's Art!

Took another shot of Mon Cherry, because that last one was pants, just didn't look right! And...it's on the green metallic backdrop which for no reason find amusing.



Here's my CVS haul, click on if you'd like to see it larger.



Had to pick up a scrip and thought, wow excuse to peruse for nail polish. I got Poshe top coat, was cheaper than Seche, think it was on sale. Also one of the Sally Hansen Insta Dri's in Blue Streak and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Lime Lights, I adore that sort of shimmery green, it isn't always the most flattering but it is so cute!


What all else, oh a replacement mascara. Had meant to do a review of Max Factor's 2K Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper saturday and that afternoon before snaps were made I fell prey to the pink eye that'd been going round the house, no amount of hand washing and Purell action worked. I thought I'd evasion +1 too. lol. So I had to toss that mascara, was going to rep it but saw this new Revlon mascara called DoubleTwist. The wand is interesting it looks like a combo of a bristle brush with the newer soft plastic style intertwined. So looking forwards to trying it once I'm sure the conjunctevitus has cleared completely. Not fun, I can tell you! First time in all my years I've ever had it. Not a fan! XD


Oh, and I promised my nephew to feature his artwork, and here is the little charmer with a picture he drew of his favorite wrestler, Jeff Hardy, replete in face paint. He's got a few more that are fantastic of Hardy as well ^^



Max is standing in front of my nerd nook. *^^*;
