Julep Joanna Bombshell Nail Art

I can’t believe I am already on J in my alphabet of nail polish challenge.  For J, I chose Julep Joanna – Bombshell, a lilac frost. I have never had a Julep subscription, so must have received this as a gift or in a polish swap.  I am not sure I would have chosen it […]

UNT peel off base coat with polish peeled off

I have wanted to try UNT Ready For Takeoff Peelable Basecoat for ages.  Simply Nailogical recommended it as the best peel off basecoat (see her comparison video here) but it is not available in Canada so I held off ordering it while trying various other peel off base coats and glitter bases.  Since my no-buy/low-buy […]

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 […]
