One of the images I never thought I would use from my Pueen Love Box 02 set suddenly appealed to me for back to school nails. I never thought I would need a scientific equation nail stamp but loved the other images on the stamping plate, especially the plaid which I have used a few […]

Purple Smoosh Mani with Avon Purplicious, Lavender Sky & Sterling
I loved the smoosh mani I did with the CND Flirtation collection and since the Canadian Beauty Bloggers theme of the month is purple, decided to go for another smoosh for Mani Monday. This time I used three Avon Gel Finish polishes, Purplicious (darker purple), Lavender Sky (lighter purple) and Sterling (silver shimmer) over a […]
Avon True Colour BB Nailwear in Perfect Pink Swatches & Review
I may have gone a little overboard with these. You see, at the same time as these new Colour+Care polishes arrived from Avon, my Mundo de Unas order arrived too. I needed to swatch the stamping polishes so what better time than over new polishes. Rather than one long picture heavy post with the three […]

June Favourites
I skipped empties last month since we dumped a lot of close to empty stuff ahead of the move and while I have some to share, thought I would talk about some of my favourites this month first. A few of these are press samples (marked *), but ones I truly loved and will buy […]
China Glaze License & Registration Pls
As I mentioned in my recent swatches of CND Canada’s Flirtation collection, I have been looking for the perfect blue for summer. I ordered this before receiving Date Night which I prefer to License & Registration Pls for a few reasons, but it is L in Alphabet Nails so here it is. China Glaze’s License […]
Mariposa Nail Art Design Kits
I was at my local Dollar Tree store when I noticed these Mariposa Nail Art Design kits. I have had a lot of luck with the Mariposa polishes I have tried from Dollarama and figured that $1.25 for three striping / nail design polishes and a pack of stickers is cheaper than even Born Pretty […]
Alphabet Nails: Julep Joanna
I can’t believe I am already on J in my alphabet of nail polish challenge. For J, I chose Julep Joanna – Bombshell, a lilac frost. I have never had a Julep subscription, so must have received this as a gift or in a polish swap. I am not sure I would have chosen it […]
Blue Essie Gradient Nails For WinkDay
Today is #WinkDay, an awareness day of the blues faced by many people battling cancer across the country. Wink Day is a campaign by Beauty Gives Back, the charitable arm that combines the power of many of the beauty and cosmetic companies in Canada. They run programs like Look Good Feel Better where they teach women […]
Avon Gel Finish Inked Up Nailart
I was originally going to use Avon Gel Finish Inked Up with the three gold polishes I posted earlier this week when I realized it would work perfectly for Alphabet Nails since I was not in love with my old choice for the letter I. So at the risk of turning into an Avon and […]
