UNT Ready For Takeoff Peel Off Basecoat
I have wanted to try UNT Ready For Takeoff Peelable Basecoat for ages. Simply Nailogical recommended it as the best peel off basecoat (see her comparison video here) but it is not available in Canada so I held off ordering it while trying various other peel off base coats and glitter bases.

After a day of moving, I am exhausted and my feet are killing me. I have been walking up and down stairs with furniture, books, other belongings (and a lot of makeup) and just want to curl up and sleep for a week. I know I will regret not taking care of the aches and […]
Don’t Fry – Wear Sunscreen
If you didn’t know, today is Don’t Fry Day because as the weather warms up, we need a reminder to slather on that sunscreen. As a pale girl (ghostly pale to pink), I will burn in minutes without at least SPF30 so I layer it on from sunscreen to SPF additives in makeup or skincare. […]
