How Was Your Weekend?

What a fabulous weekend! A long weekend at that due to the Canada Day holiday! Yahoooo!! I had a great time! Spent a lot of time at the beach on the lake, under the sun, or swimming in the pool. There was a nice cool breeze off the lake making the hot weather tolerable.



July 1st, during the afternoon at Canada Day celebrations, we sang the National Anthem, then released red and white balloons into the sky. Then ate fresh picked strawberries and vanilla ice cream. The afternoon was spent having a barbecue and then lots of games for adults and kids alike!

There was an awesome fireworks display the evening of July 1st that blasted shades of colour explosions over the night sky.



Every night of the weekend was clear and we made the most of it, sitting around the campfire, roasting marshmallows, looking at all the twinkling stars under the clear night sky. (Thank goodness that terrible lighting and thunder storm Saturday night happened in the wee hours of the morn!)



The weather was fantastic.....we were kept cool with nice refreshing drinks..loaded with ice. Kept us well hydrated in the hot weather!

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of my weekend on my nails! LOL! Base coat was one coat of OPI Need Sunglasses? topped with two coats of L'Oreal Yellow Seahorse. I found the L'Oreal difficult to apply, but after adding a few drops of thinner, the second coat applied better. Here's base by itself.



Then stamped using Konad special polishes in orange, black, red, blue pearl and deep jungle stamping polishes using fauxnad IP's D-17, D-16, T37, T27, HB 44, SdP B-20, and SdP C-13. Added a little sparkle after stamping. Kinda makes the stars twinkle....I'll have to keep this in mind for another mani!

Hope you had a great one....or are still having a great long weekend if celebrating July 4th! So, how was your weekend?

Thanks for looking!
