DAVIDsTEA Read My Lips + Bonus Nail Art

Davids Tea Read My Lips Close

I love peppermint teas but DAVIDsTEA Read My Lips adds something a little special to the usual peppermint tea.  It is a mix of cute little red lips sugar sprinkles, chocolate, pink peppercorns with peppermint and Chinese black tea. Not your regular mix, the chocolate makes the tea a little fudgy and dark and combined […]

Steel City Reflections – Sarah Sanderson Swatches

Steel City Reflections Sarah Sanderson Swatch - Bottle Macro

As I mentioned recently, I still had Sarah Sanderson to share with you from the Steel City Reflections Hocus Pocus collection.  While Winifred Sanderson became an instant favourite in the warmer weather when I bought these, this vampy purple holo with red medium and larger glitter was a winter fave.  Like Mary Sanderson, it did not […]

Floral Nail Stamping With Zoya Leslie and Mira

Zoya Leslie Mira Floral Nail Art

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

China Glaze Avalanche Nail Polish Bottle and Swatch

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 […]

Steel City Reflections – Mary Sanderson Swatches

Steel City Reflections Mary Sanderson Swatch - Swatches Natural Light

I reviewed Winifred Sanderson, one of the sister polishes to Mary Sanderson a while back.  It is part of a trio by Steel City Reflections, a local Hamilton based indie nail polish company.  Now I have Mary Sanderson for you.  It is described as a blood red holo polish with larger burnt orange holo glitter. Against […]

China Glaze Elfin Around Gradient Nails

We are moving in a little over six weeks and have been sorting all of our belongings so that we are not moving stuff we don’t move.  It happened when we moved here and some stuff is still in a box in the closet “to do something with”.  My nails, however, are suffering from all […]

Maybelline Color Show Nail Tattoos – Brooklyn Collection

Maybelline Color Show Brooklyn Nail Tattoo Swatches

I love browsing Dollarama for items that I have wanted to try but didn’t want to pay full price in case I didn’t like them or discontinued products that are hard to find.  I recently picked up a pack of the Brooklyn collection of Maybelline Color Show Nail Tattoos. I thought it would be worth […]

Popcorn Nail Art for MTV Movie Awards

MTV Movie Award Popcorn Nail Art

The MTV Movie Awards are far from the biggest and not one that I would usually bother with nail art for, but when I got an email from Trade Secrets mentioning their twitter party with prizes for the awards, I was inspired by the black cups of popcorn. I had started off with the classic […]

Zoya Lake Swatches & Review

Zoya Lake Review and Swatches

When I saw Zoya Lake in person, I knew I had to have it,  Lake appears almost grey in some light and more blue in others making it very wearable.  Zoya Lake is part of the 2016 Whispers collection which arrived in stores in early February. When I saw the press release for this collection, […]
