OPI Navy Shatter Over Beige #AlphabetNails

OPI Navy Shatter Swatch

Ok shatter polishes are so 2011 and choosing a polish named Navy Shatter is a bit of a cop out for this week’s alphabet nails post but I am just not in love with any of my polishes with names beginning with N.  Actually, after not using any of these shatter polishes forever I think […]

Quo by Orly Breathable The Antidote Frest Start Nail Vinyl

As much time as I spend changing my nail colour, I hate waiting for multiple coats to dry so I was excited when I heard about the new line of Breathable nail polishes from Quo by Orly.  These colours promise two coat coverage but with a built in base and top coat as well as […]

We have all heard the reports of how microbeads are bad for the environment.  The Canadian government recently added microbeads to their list of toxic substances under the Environmental Protection Act.  Many brands were already pulling microbeads from products or plan to over the next few years as they reformulate their products and bring out new […]

Quo by Orly Mega Plum Nail Polish Swatch

I don’t know which is worse in this alphabet of nail polish challenge, only having one polish starting with a letter when you really don’t like it or having so many that it is hard to choose.  Last week, I pulled out all of my M polishes and sat on the floor with trying to […]

June Empties

June Empties Garnier The Body Shop Aveeno Maybelline Batistle

It is no surprise that I don’t have a lot of empties this month.  We got rid of a lot of close to empty products when sorting ahead of the move so my June empties are mostly things I have used up after opening new ones this month with a few that I did not […]

June Favourites

June Favourites Avon ProFX Almay Quo

I skipped empties last month since we dumped a lot of close to empty stuff ahead of the move and while I have some to share, thought I would talk about some of my favourites this month first.  A few of these are press samples (marked *), but ones I truly loved and will buy […]

China Glaze License & Registration Pls

China Glaze License & Registration Pls Nail Art Blue and Silver Swatch

As I mentioned in my recent swatches of CND Canada’s Flirtation collection, I have been looking for the perfect blue for summer.  I ordered this before receiving Date Night which I prefer to License & Registration Pls for a few reasons, but it is L in Alphabet Nails so here it is. China Glaze’s License […]

CND Vinylux Flirtation Collection Collage

I recently received a #CNDRescueKit from CND Canada to help fix my weak nails and it included four nail polishes from the summer 2016 CND Vinylux Flirtation collection.  I loved the Spring 2015 collection and wear them often so was looking forward to these, especially Date Night as I have been looking for that perfect […]
