It is another Mani Monday! This month, we are doing floral nails for #CBBxManiMonday and since the Beautube drama took up the weekend and I left my nails until this morning once again, I went for decals. I am really not sure where I got these BZ016 decals, probably AliExpress or Born Pretty since they […]

Remembrance Day Nails with BPY40 Waterslide Decals
With Remembrance Day yesterday, we choose poppy themed nails for #CBBxManiMonday this week. So these are the nails I had all weekend. The base is white stamping polish as my bottle of regular white polish suddenly dried up. Topped with poppy themed waterslide decals from the Born Pretty Store BPY40 set and My Indie Polish […]
Is Sassy+Chic Nail Art Worth Buying At Dollar Tree?
My local Dollar Tree has a decent selection of nail art products. Most of them are Sassy+Chic branded which seems to be a made for Dollar Tree line. So no huge discounts but at $1.25 per product, they are on par for pricing from Born Pretty etc. I picked up a selection of products including […]
The End of Summer Nail Art & End of My Garden
For our #CBBxManiMonday prompt this week, we chose the end of summer. Pretty vague prompt which makes it even harder to decide what to do. Which is how I got to Labour Day with no Mani Monday post ready. But this morning I decided that with fall around the corner, I was giving up on […]

Born Pretty Store BP-W19 Decals Over Quo Color Ampd Best Dressed
Most water decals need a white base or have a coloured base themselves. So what about putting them over coloured polishes? If you use a light colour, they can work. The colours will not be as bright as on white, but something glittery can give some oompf. I tried the top turquoise and purple design […]
