I’m all about nudes these days. I mean, I still love loud colours. And soft colours. And everything in between. But recently I’ve been in a mood for neutrals.

Here, I used A Cut Above from the Essie Luxeffects line (it’s pink glitter) over Moulin Rouge Light from Catrice, a polish I bought when I was in Amsterdam.

Fame whore: Montreal Gazette

Posted by on Feb 22, 2012 in House & home, The Daily Polish | 1 comment

Two Saturdays ago, my little house, my little blog and I were featured in the Montreal Gazette. My friends and family told me the interview sounded just like me, which is kind of fun. I always thought the Monteal Gazette needed a little Lindsayism in its life. Pretty boring otherwise.

But here’s a journalism secret: the interview didn’t go down like that, word for word. Tricky, eh?

I’ve posted a couple of the photos (even Henry is famous!), but you can have a looksee at the whole story here.

Well, there isn’t much to say about this manicure. I mean, cupcakes. On your nails.What else can you say?

The purple is Mrs. Robinson from Color Club, one of my all time favourites. I used a dotting tool and a tiny paintbrush with various colours/brands for all the details. I couldn’t find a tutorial of a design I really liked, so I watched a few different ones and just did the parts I liked best.

What do you think? Is it socially acceptable for me to have cupcakes on my nails even though I’m over 30?

I started out with just one penguin, but when I put the top coat on it smeared his eye and he looked really sad. So, yesterday I made a friend for him on my thumb. I call him Mr. Chubby Thumb. The other one is Rick.

I absolutely love this green polish. It’s Color Club Aquadisiac. It’s very cheery and you probably need it for spring.

There are a ton of tutorials for this nail design out there, here’s a good one on YouTube.

A day in the life: I got my hair did

Just the colour, mind you. Not the cut. But I still celebrated with hot pink lipstick and Kardashian-esque lashes. Cover Girl Lip Perfection in Spellbound, Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect in Fuchsia Poplin (577) and Benefit They’re Real! mascara.

I’m usually pretty bah humbug about doing my nails in accordance with certain holidays. Everyone does it and I like to be different, you see. And Valentine’s Day isn’t even really a holiday. Or we’d all get the day off.

Nevertheless, today I’m rocking Essie Fifth Avenue, a very bright organge-y red, and some love on my ring finger.
