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. […]

THEFACESHOP Paraffin Nail Packs
I have bought nail packs from THEFACESHOP before, but mostly the milk calcium ones. While the milk calcium nail packs are meant for dry and rough nails, the paraffin nail packs are meant to strengthen brittle nails. With all of the damage I have done to my nails with recent packing and sorting alongside the […]
China Glaze Avalanche Swatches + Nail Art
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
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 […]
Why I Choose Batiste Dark & Deep Dry Shampoo
I have really thick long hair and drying and straightening takes a while, so dry shampoo is a must-have in my life. Anything that helps me go an extra day without my hair just being in a greasy top-knot has to be a good thing. But not all dry shampoos are created equal and with […]
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
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
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 […]
Get Your Feet Summer Ready With Footlogix Medical
The recent warmer weather had me pulling out my spring/summer clothes but I realized that my feet are nowhere near ready for sandals. After a winter hiding away in boots where you don’t worry about a perfect pedi or some dry skin, they are in need of a little TLC before that pale skin gets to […]
