Last week, I went through the Zoya collection to find out if I could do the alphabet nails challenge using only Zoya. Turns out I can’t so this week I am making an alphabetical list of all Essie polishes to see if it is possible with Essie. Where possible, I am going to stay away […]

My April Empties
I feel like I did not use up much this month, perhaps I should have included the stuff we threw out that was not completely used up yet but it went right in the garbage/recycling as we sorted. Note to self – do not move again EVER. We went through everything in the bathroom and […]
Essie Coat Couture Swatches + Nailart
Continuing with the alphabet series, I have Essie’s Coat Couture from the Cashmere Matte collection which will always be a favourite of mine. It is a grey-purple matte with blue shimmer that looks amazing matte or with a shiny top coat. I love the dusty look of the purple because it makes Coat Couture so […]
Newspaper Nail Art With Essence Enter Wonderland
Enter Wonderland from Essence’s Hidden Stories collection is a beautiful off white matte polish that just calls for newspaper nails. Except I didn’t have any newspaper as we only get a digital copy so I decided to do them with Born Pretty’s BP-76 text stamping plate. Supplies: Essence Hidden Stories Enter Wonderland Essence Rock My World […]
The ABCs of Zoya Nail Polish
When I started the Alphabet of Nails, a few people mentioned that some letters would be hard to find. Now, not all of us will have every polish from a company – I certainly don’t but I was interested to see if it was possible within a single brand. So today, I have the ABCs […]
Essie Silk Watercolor Water Marble Nail Art
I hate watermarbling, hate it. I love the look but the time it takes, the polishes that do not spread, the unknown look you will get if you dunk your finger at a slightly different angle. But I was inspired by Simply Nailogical’s video. She knows that watermarbles are a pain and often don’t work […]
Steel City Reflections – Bits of Tim Swatches
Time for week two of the alphabet of nail polish and this week I have Steel City Reflections Bits of Tim. This polish is inspired by Hamilton’s own Tim Horton’s! It is a coffee brown jelly with square, red matte glitters. Personally, I find the jelly in it a little hard to work with since […]

DAVIDsTEA Read My Lips + Bonus Nail Art
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
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 […]
