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 […]
Floral Nail Stamping With Zoya Leslie and Mira
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 […]
DAVIDsTEA Movie Night Green Tea
You know that smell when you walk into a movie theatre? The popcorn, candy and years of movie goers just fills the space as soon as you walk in. Even at my local mall which has an older Landmark Cinema upstairs, the smell of popcorn as you walk by the entrance is crazy! Now you can […]
