All That Glitters Is Avon Gold

All that glitters is Avon gold nail polishes

Each month, the Canadian Beauty Bloggers choose a theme for featured posts, and this month is gold.  This ties in so well with the Queen’s birthday celebrations over the weekend as what is more royal than gold?  Although, if I had waited to paint my nails, I would have gone with neon green.  The Queen […]

Quo by Orly Color Amp’d Paparazzi

Quo by Orly Ampd Paparazzi Swatch

So I think I may have found my go to colour for the rest of spring into summer when I don’t want to wear something bright and it is Paparazzi from the Quo by Orly Color Amp’d line.  For those not familiar, Quo is exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart and while the cosmetics don’t have […]

Revlon Holographic Pearls Transforming Effects

Revlon Holographic Pearls over Quo Ampd

I was torn over choosing a polish for the alphabet nail challenge today.  I have a couple of polishes that start with H but with the exception of Zoya Hazel which I have used a number of times on the blog and defeats the purpose of trying new polishes and blogging others from my collection. […]

THEFACESHOP Trendy Nails GLI030 Nail Polish

thefaceshop Trendy Nails Glitter GLI030 bottle swatch 2016

So it turns out that I do not have many polishes beginning with G in my collection for today’s Alphabet Nails post and after trying a few, I found I really don’t like most of the ones I have either.  I have had a lot of luck with Trendy Nails polishes from THEFACESHOP and picked […]

Avon Nailed It Precious Petals In Steel Magnolia & Green Thumb

Avon Mark Nailed It Precious Metals Steel Magnolias and Green Thumb Gradient Swatches Nail Art

I love trying new polishes and noticed that Sarah from Workaday Beauty had posted several manicures with Avon polishes recently.  Avon isn’t the first brand you think of when you are buying polish but Sarah had mentioned the great quality so I was excited to try some out.  While I have some of the Gel […]

F is for CND Fragrant Freesia

CND Vinylux Fragrant Freesia Stamped Nail Art

I reviewed the entire Flora & Fauna collection by CND last year and was surprised to find I really liked Fragrant Freesia as I tend not to wear a lot of nude polishes or pinks.  It is least pigmented of the collection but is absolutely beautiful when worn.  A pearly nude pink with light flecks similar […]

Zoya Edyta & Quo Bling It On

Zoya Edyta with Quo Bling It On

Wow, E already in the alphabet nails series.  Today I have a manicure with Zoya Edyta and Quo Bling It On.  Edyta is a polish that I have a love hate relationship with.  I love to wear it but hate photographing it because pictures never show its true beauty.  I also hate that it stains my […]

Essence Don’t Be Shy Swatches + Nail Art

Essence Don't Be Shy Stamped Gradient Swatch Sunlight

When I started the Alphabet Nails series a few weeks ago, I did not expect the letter D to be a difficult one.  I figured I would have multiple polishes to choose from each week, at least until the more unusual letters at the end of the alphabet.  I do have a few D polishes […]
