Mariposa Glitter Polishes – Dollarama Find

Mariposa Glitter Pixie Dust Packaging

I was quite impressed with the original set of Mariposa polishes I tried, even though their long wear polish was not great so I thought I would give them another chance.  This latest Dollarama find is their glitter polishes.  A set of 6 mini polishes for $3.  These have a sand/pixie dust type feel to […]

Clearly my blog doesn’t agree with daylight savings and decided to take yesterday off leaving a post hidden away, so you get two nail polish posts today!  Since it is Pi Day, it has to be Pi themed nails and a cute Born Pretty text plate I bought before Christmas happens to have Pi symbols […]

Essence Let The Stars Rain Down On Me!

Essence Shake Me Up Nail Art Holo Top Coat - Let The Stars Rain Down On Me!

THEFACESHOP Trendy Nails in GLI006 was not one I picked up for my night out like GLI001 or GLI003 but one I was excited about as it seemed to be an almost dupe for Zoya Pixie Dust in Godiva.  Godiva is one of my favourite neutrals with some sparkle and one I have worn a […]
