Manicure Monday: OPI Tickle My France-Y

Happy Monday! Today's Mani Monday is "Tickle My France-Y" by OPI. Let's check it out below!

This polish is a muted purple shade. More like a nude, mauve color with a hint of brown to it. When you are indoors, the polish looks more brown then mauve & the opposite when you are outdoors. Very transformative!

I applied 2 coats for full opacity. Formula glided on very smoothly & evenly!

OPI's Tickle My France-Y will definitely be a fave polish of mine because it just looks effortlessly beautiful on.

If you haven't noticed from the 1st picture, these OPI polishes are mini's! I bought this gift set from Costco the other day. Since I haven't tried most of these shades out, I thought it would be fun to feature them on my Mani Monday posts. So definitely look forward to each of these cuteys every Monday until I have officially tried them all!

Thank you so much for reading & have a great week!

Love, Linda

Manicure Monday: Essie Mademoiselle

Happy Monday! After last week's red polish, I was in the mood for a lighter/clean/fresh look for my nails. Today's Mani Monday is "Mademoiselle" by Essie. Let's check it out below!

This polish is also known as the "grown up pink polish", perfect statement in my opinion! Mademoiselle is a sheer, milky light pink shade. It is very versatile, as you can apply just 1 coat for a sheer natural look or up to 3-4 coats for a more opaque look.

I was super patient today & applied 4 coats for the fullest opacity. Formula went on super smoothly & evenly. My nails look so glossy (with or without top coat) & it will look flattering on any skin tone.

If you are looking for the perfect polish for your French manicures, I highly recommend this one!

 

Classic polishes never go out of style & Essie's Mademoiselle definitely needs to be a staple in every nail polish collection!

Thank you so much for reading & hope you have a fantastic week ahead!!

Foodie Friday: Bakery Sate

Happy Friday! For today's Foodie Friday we are headed to a local bakery/cafe in East Vancouver called "Bakery Sate". Let's check it out below!

I love how bright & clean everything looks like inside!

Cute, vintage, random decor on the wall.

If you guys don't know this by now, I am a matcha/green tea addict! I had to try Bakery Sate's "Matcha Black Sesame Cake". At first, I thought the sesame flavour was going to over power the matcha taste. When I had a bite of this gorgeous cake, it was the perfect balance between both flavours. The matcha taste was not bitter at all because it did have white chocolate in it as well, yum!!

I had to get yet another matcha sweet, this one is their "Matcha Azuki Puff". I love the crunchy sweet/salty topping of this cream puff. Inside was the most delicious creamy matcha filling with red bean as well!

I want one of each please!! ^___^ Beautiful display case full of different cakes, sweets, desserts & sandwiches.

Simple wooden tables & a window so you can take a peek at the pastry chefs working their magic! That man in the window is Head Pastry Chef, Eric Ho.

Bakery Sate is such a cute & cozy cafe to have a coffee date, catch up with friends or even dessert dates! Thank you so much for reading & hope you have a awesome weekend!!

Love, Linda
