With Canada Day just a few days away, I couldn’t not share Oh Canada! tea from DAVIDsTEA today. I mean, it has maple leaf sprinkles, so who cares what it tastes like, you have to buy it! This sweet Rooibos tea has hints of caramel and maple syrup to give it that sweet taste of […]

Quo by Orly Color Amp’d Best Dressed
A good silver polish is hard to find. So many are glittery and the foil finish ones often show brush strokes. So Quo by Orly Color Amp’d in Best Dressed was a nice surprise. It applied like a dream and while almost a one-coater, the second coat deepened the opacity without those terrible brush strokes. The […]
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

Since my no-buy/low-buy […]

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 […]
