I have been looking forward to the new releases of polishes. While there are some outstanding shades in the winter/holiday collections, very few of them screamed buy the whole collection to me. So when this picture of the new Zoya Whispers collection showed up in my inbox with pretty but everyday wearable shades, I was happy […]

December Birchbox Inspired Nail Art
My December Birchbox arrived just as I was about to sit down to do my nails. The packaging was so cute, I decided to do some nail art inspired by my Birchbox. The outside of the box is white with a silver embossed design. Not really sure what the yellow is about, I think it […]

Essence Mountain Calling Nail Art
Last month, Essence’s Mountain Calling collection finally made its way to Canada.

Mariposa Nail Polish – The Coloured Foils
While I am all for four free (or even 8-free now) nail polishes, they typically come with a high price tag. I have been with friends shopping and spent $15 on a single bottle of nail polish while they roll their eyes and carry on with their $3 bottles of Sinful Colors or Sally Hansen. […]
How Many White Nail Polishes Do You Need?
As I took photos of the latest Essence Mountain Calling collection, my boyfriend asked me “how any white nail polishes do you need?”. While I am impressed he can even tell that the bottle is not the same each time, the answer is, not as many as he thinks I have but a few. I […]
My 2015 Advent Calendars
Last year was my first year with beauty advent calendars. I got the advent calendar from The Body Shop and enjoyed having a whole month of beauty stuff to open. This year, it has doubled in price so I decided against getting one and picked up the DAVIDsTEA 24 Days of Tea instead. Then I […]
