NAILS | CND Vinylux Blue Eyeshadow Swatch and Swirly Yellow Nail Art

On Tuesday, CND had their Spring "New Wave" Collection launch at Onyx Aesthetics in Vancouver's Gastown area. I work in the area so I used my lunch break to get a sneak peak of the new shades as well as get a little manicure! I saw some beautiful Shellac manicures (did you know that the term "Shellac" was actually coined by CND?), but we all know that having a 2 week manicure just stresses me out so I opted for a Vinylux Weekly Polish mani in this stunning shade of blue called Blue Eyeshadow and then added another shade from the New Wave collection at home using nail vinyls called Banana Clips*. 

One of the Onyx girls did my nails which I rarely allow, but I had them do my nails at the last event and everything turned alright so I swallowed my fears of having my nails shaped like a crazy person and let her do her thing! Blue Eyeshadow is gorgeously opaque in two coats and even on its own had a great shine.I would have liked to do more nail art, but my pointer finger is currently on the mend as during my manicure, there was some slight over filing leaving the skin on the side of my nail quite raw. Applying polish makes it sting so I will let it heal for now. 

I know it's too soon to think about Spring with it only being Dec.1st today so I promise we will go back to glitter and holiday reds next week!
