Quo by Orly Freshly Cut Stamped Manicure

Quo by Orly Freshly Cut Stamped Shade Indirect Sun

Quo by Orly Freshly Cut (stamped) – Shade I tend not to wear red polishes very often but Quo by Orly Freshly Cut caught my attention in the clearance racks at Shoppers Drug Mart.  I can’t resist any Quo polishes when they are on clear-out for only $2 and grabbed a few different ones.  Red is […]

The alphabet of nail polish challenge is back this week and for R I chose Quo by Orly Color Amp’d in Rooftop Lounge.  Color Amp’d polishes have flexible technology so they resist dings and scratches, great for when you want to stamp over them in a hurry.  Rooftop Lounge is a gel finish bright teal […]

Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty

Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty over Quo Turquoise Moonlight Swatch Sunlight

I own a single polish with a name starting with Q and it is not the most exciting choice for #alphabetnails.  Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty is a plain silver glitter in a clear base.  No holo, just smallish silver glitter.  There is nothing wrong with it, just with so many colourful polishes it seems […]

International Cat Day Nail Art

International Cat Day Nail Art - Stamped Cat Paws Nail Art Swatch - Quo Barely There

It is International Cat Day and that calls for some kitty themed nail art! The first look is simpler, a stamped look using a single stamping image from Bundle Monster’s BM-S162 plate using Quo Barely There and the brown shimmer polish from one of the first sets of Mariposa polish I reviewed.  Since it is […]
