If you have ever used 100% acetone, you know how strong it is. Using occasionally is fine, but if you soak off gel polish (or worse, acrylics) or change your polish a lot, it can really dry out your cuticles. Alter Ego Acetone Additives are made with glycerin, Vitamin E oil and fragrance oil. It reduces […]
Ms Sparkle Gelato Por Favor Swatches
I am back with swatches and many (overdue) posts to come in the coming weeks. Starting with a #CBBxManiMonday post. This month, we are doing glitter polishes and I have this pretty green with gold glitter. Ms. Sparkle Gelato, Por Favor! is from the 2 Eivissa collection. It looks much greener in the bottle but […]
Essie Fondant of You
For June, we are going bright for #CBBxManiMonday. I had planned to use this gorgeous coral with a bright green in a gradient. But Daisy decided that my makeup sponges are cat toys so that didn’t work out. The base colour is from the Essie Fondant of You from the summer 2017 collection. This is two […]
Simple Floral Nails with BPL-029 Stamping
I am very late to the #CBBxManiMonday party this week. I didn’t want to remove my manicure for a meeting so kept it very work appropriate with a base of Alter Ego Women Inherit the World with some simple white floral stamping. Women Inherit the World is a peachy pink toned metallic with silver base […]
Floral Nails with BZ016 Decals
It is another Mani Monday!

I am really not sure where I got these BZ016 decals, probably AliExpress or Born Pretty since they […]
Rose Stamping with Turtle Tootsie Polishes A Rose Is A Rose
This month for #CBBxManiMonday, we are doing floral nails. I have wanted to try this image from BP-L024 for a while so it seemed like a great idea to pair it with Turtle Tootsie Polishes A Rose Is A Rose. It is a dusty rose pink with scattered holo and a few flakes of holo […]
Trying Almay’s Latest Releases
Almay has been one of those brands that doesn’t pop into my head when purchasing new products despite good experiences with them in the past. I actually love their foundations and trying these out reminded me to buy some of their TLC foundation. But they have some new and exciting new products that is changing […]
Earth Month Nails
Each month, we choose a theme for the Canadian Beauty Bloggers to focus on. This month, we chose Earth Day. Bloggers featured green brands and looks through the month. While we were all about Easter for a while, we didn’t want to miss out for #CBBxManiMonday so today, Cosmetic Proof, Prairie Beauty Love and See the World in Pink and […]
Look Good Feel Better: Share Strength, Shop Beauty Nail Art
I have mentioned Look Good Feel Better before. They offer a beauty workshop that gives Canadian women the tools and techniques to feel beautiful and vital. With changing skin, a loss of hair etc, their tried and true techniques don’t always work so this little step can make a huge difference. I have been to their […]
