New Year’s Eve Nail Polish

December 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

My nails are ready to party in China Glaze Lorelei’s Tiara.

Glittery nail polish is a huge trend right now and almost all brands have been coming out with their own version.

What I’m wearing is part of China Glaze’s 3D glitter collection, so called because of the varying glitter sizes. I love that with just 2 coats my nails were completely opaque.

With plenty of glitter nail polish to choose from, it’s hard not to find something you like.

But if you’re still not sold on the idea – here’s a great peg I wish I saw before I had my nails done.

Love Maegan suggests painting your nails a nude color and then adding a stripe of glitter to one side of your nail. Isn’t it pretty?

English Bay: Celebration of Light Fireworks

Spain put on a great show last night at English Bay. I’m glad we went early because there was an awesome airplane exhibition AND by 8pm it was just crazy busy at the beach.

I didn’t bring my dslr last night so I did not even bother to take photos of the fireworks. I did find this post that had a timelapse of the fireworks, which you can see here.

On The Street: I’m Sorry Vancouver

June 30, 2011 By Leave a Comment

There’s been an outpouring of support for the City of Vancouver after the riot. “VANLOVER” stickers appeared on shop windows almost overnight in Downtown and some boarded-up windows contain messages of support. Along the bus stop on Granville and West Georgia, people are hanging square-cut cloths with positive messages.

Fete dela Musique Vancouver

June 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Celebrated the start (and longest day) of summer with a free music festival in Gastown.

Fete dela Musique or Make Music Vancouver had over 200 bands play yesterday along West Cordova and Water Street. By the time I made my way to Gastown the party was in full swing. Bands were playing on the sidewalk and the crowd extended to the streets.

The crowd was kept relatively safe from oncoming traffic by Fete dela Musique volunteers who formed human barricades. It would have been better if they shut the street, but either way it was a great event to kick-start summer!
