Chipping Glitter Nail Polish

I have a problem with my glitter nail polishes chipping on me really early in my manicure. I use Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat over my nail polish so that is dries faster and to have a thick glossy effect on my nails. It also makes a thick enough layer so you don't feel the glitter grain of the nail polish. However the downside to this amazing top coat is that it makes my glitter nail polish chip of easier! It's so annoying! The polish on my thumb fingers are already chipping they day after I did my nails! I didn't even do the dishes so it makes no sense at all. Do you girls have any tips that I can use? It's really frustrating me!

The name is Bond, James Bond.

AHHH the new James Bond movie is coming out this Friday in Canada and I am super excited! I have always been a huge fan of James Bond. I started watching them when Pierce Brosnan was Bond so yea, I am still sort of new to it. I haven't watched the older Bond movies because the special effects look kind of obvious fake. I know back in the day they didn't have the technology but it kind of prevents me from seeing it. I think I will eventually watch all the James Bond movie one day but never got around to it.


I am super excited that OPI decided to make a Skyfall Collection to celebrate 50 years of James Bond. I only grabbed one colour from the collection which is The Man with The Golden Gun. It's a 24kt golden top coat. It's expensive but so worth it! I hauled it in my October 2012 Haul and I meant to do a swatch for it but have never for the chance to! I will tomorrow morning because it's super dark since it's 11:41 pm right now as I write this. So I will first thing tomorrow! I promise! It will be found in one of the images down below. I hope all is well with you and have a good rest of the week everyone!

Happy Birthday to Zee Best Father Ever!

It's my dad's birthday today! WOOOOOOOOOOO!! He is already past his 50s and is now in his mid-50s. I can't believe he is that old! He acts very young and is still healthy and well. I wish I could celebrate with him tonight but I don't get home from work until around 9:30 pm every weekday. I plan to take him out to see Skyfall, the new James Bond movie with my brother, Shawn and I. It shall be a fun experience. I haven't been to the movies with my dad in forever! I also cannot believe it is November. October went by so fast! I think it was because I was busy all month so time flew by really fast.

I have been practicing driving with my dad every morning this week. Since my drivers license expires in December, I need to get on it! I am good at everything but parking. It is terrible but practice makes perfect! Any parking tips anyone can give me? I went to driving school over 2 years ago so I don't remember much....

I am so unfit, it's not even funny...

My new job requires me to walk very often and I realized how unfit I really am. I would say I have a nice figure but my muscles are not really there. Especially in my arms. At the end of every work day, my feet and lower legs are in so much pain. But I was told I would get used to it so I high hopes. It's great that I can work and get a workout at the same time! I was considering to workout in the new year but I guess I am starting early. I am going to have buns of steel and awesome legs by the time 2013 rolls around.
What is your exercise routine? Any good tips that you can give me to build up lean arm muscles? Share them in the comments below.
