Julia Finucane's Solo Art Show

My best friend, Julia Finucane had a solo art show at Love, Light, & Magick on Hertel Avenue. I met her there before the opening and helped her put out the snacks. Before the opening started, I snapped a few pictures of her wall of art and few close ups of some of my favorite pieces. She is an extremely talented artist. Her art  is fantasy based and very whimsical in nature! It is a fairy tale lovers dream! Her art work was on display for the entire month of May. If you missed it and want to check out more of her work and learn more about her, you can find her art work at her blog and store. If you are in the Buffalo area, you should check out Love, Light, & Magick too! Everything in the store is very reasonably priced. If you are a lover of all things spiritual from Pagan to Buddhist, from crystals and essential oils to tarot and candles and other things of a more magical or spiritual nature, you will love this store! Don't forget the check out Julia's blog and store! 

Sparkle and Shine

Want to add a little sparkle and shine to your manicure? Keep reading! OK, so I kind of have this problem. I can't go into a store that sells nail polish and not buy at least one new bottle. I love nail polish! I have a fine arts degree, which introduced me to this amazing world of color. So when I see nail polish, for me it's like looking at the color wheel and seeing an infinite array of beautiful colors and different ways to combine them. The possibilities are endless! I kind of have the same problem when it comes to makeup. I see a color I love and I have to have it! Now don't get me wrong, makeup and nail polish can get expensive, so I tend to stick to drug store brands that are affordable and allow me to get my fix, so to speak. Anyway, I'm rambling, the point of this little blog today is in fact nail polish, specifically Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Ice Queen. It is beautiful! It's a glitter polish that is so sparkly and shimmery! It is a super fine silver glitter base mixed with fine green, red, and yellow glitter and chunkier flecks of blue and purple. I wore it over Cover Girls Midnight Magic, which is a really deep navy blue shade. However, I think it would look perfect with any darker shade. I really would like to try it with Sinful Colors Last Chance, a really pretty emerald color, or Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Gunmetal, a rich grey shade. It would also look lovely on it's own, you made need to put on a few coats though for full opacity. I'm not sure what else to say about it, except that it really is pretty! I'll let the pictures do the talking for me!
