As I am going through my polishes, sorting for the move and getting rid of old ones, I came across Zoya Leslie. A beautiful soft lavender with a blue shimmer undertone that is perfect for spring. No surprise there as Leslie was part of the 2015 Spring Delight collection released in time for last Easter. […]

China Glaze Avalanche Swatches + Nail Art
I recently read a blog post by Light Your Nails where she is working her way through the alphabet swatching polishes and loved the idea. I have so many polishes that go unused, I don’t think to use or I wear a lot but for some reason never show on the blog. So the alphabet […]

Essie Smooth Sailing & Blanc Nail Art
Essie Smooth Sailing is one of my favourite Essie polishes. It is a beautiful blue with a slight silvery shimmer that makes it so wearable. The bottle is fairly old and still not separated or chunky which is always a plus too. Essie describes Smooth Sailing as “set sail on an ocean of this breezy […]
Bring Back The Bees Nail Art – Mani Monday
I have been meaning to try the bee themed stamp from my MoYou London The Pro plate for ages and when I heard about Cheerio’s Bring Back The Bees campaign, it seemed like the perfect time.

How To Prime A Nail Stamp Head With A Magic Eraser
I have been interested in using a Magic Eraser to prime a stamp head for ages after seeing it on youtube but since all of my stamp heads were stamping perfectly, I didn’t want to risk ruining one trying. So when I picked up a new stamp recently to try out and it stamped terribly, it […]
MoYou London Nail Art Stamping Kits Review
I may have done a happy dance when I heard that Trade Secrets would be selling MoYou products in Canada. My friends back home love them but with shipping and taxes at the border, they are pricey and many you find online are knockoffs and not etched as well. Nail stamping kits in stores are actually […]
