As I mentioned when I reviewed the rest of the Mariposa glitter polishes recently, the orange would be featured separately and here it is. On swatching it, I realized that while not a dupe, it is very close to Zoya Beatrix, one of their Pixie Dust polishes. Both have a similar tangerine tone, Mariposa is […]

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 […]

Smoke & Mirrors Nail Art (Guest Post)
I am guest posting over on The Lazy Laquerista today! I love those cutesy “holidays” that are completely made up yet seem to have a specific day, so when Michelle was looking for guest posts for this week, I consulted the cute holidays calendars to find a theme only to find that March 29th is […]

Since I don’t own it, I decided to join in the palette bingo challenge with a nail look using similar colours. The chosen colours were: Destroyer (red), Echo (bright purple), […]
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. Image: @MarkCullen4 via LifeMadeDelious In case you haven’t noticed, Buzz, the Cheerios mascot, is missing from their latest packaging. Buzz is […]
Easy St. Patrick’s Day Nail Art Ideas
My Irish grandma would probably shudder at the cheesey-ness of Irish flags on my nails, she would let us wear green ribbons in our hair and remind us that we were Irish every day, not just on St. Patrick’s Day but any excuse for some nail art! I have three simple nail art looks for […]

My nails and cuticles are always desperate for a little TLC and THEFACESHOP’s nail pack provides that much needed blast of moisture. You can pick […]
