As I mentioned when I reviewed the rest of the Mariposa glitter polishes recently, the orange would be featured separately and here it is. On swatching it, I realized that while not a dupe, it is very close to Zoya Beatrix, one of their Pixie Dust polishes. Both have a similar tangerine tone, Mariposa is […]
My March Empties
I always think to myself that I should keep my empties to do an end of month empties post, but our place is tiny and keeping the extra clutter doesn’t make sense. For March, I put a bag on the inside of my closet to remind me to keep them, so here it is – […]
Keeping Skincare Simple
I love Bioderma’s micellar water but am always on the hunt for cheaper alternatives to my favourites. It gives me more money to spend on things I love, like nail polish! I tried Simple’s micellar water a few months ago and really liked it so when Chick Advisor had a product review club opportunity for […]

Essie Smooth Sailing & Blanc Nail Art
Essie Smooth Sailing is one of my favourite Essie polishes. It is a beautiful blue with a slight silvery shimmer that makes it so wearable. The bottle is fairly old and still not separated or chunky which is always a plus too. Essie describes Smooth Sailing as “set sail on an ocean of this breezy […]

Mariposa Glitter Polishes – Dollarama Find
I was quite impressed with the original set of Mariposa polishes I tried, even though their long wear polish was not great so I thought I would give them another chance. This latest Dollarama find is their glitter polishes. A set of 6 mini polishes for $3. These have a sand/pixie dust type feel to […]

Prevent Your Nail Polish From Chipping and Peeling
I have probably mentioned this hundreds of times, but I am hard on my nails. Yes, I love my nail polish and probably change the colour and design 4 times a week but part of this is necessity. My nails and I do not always get along and no matter how careful I am, the […]
Palette Bingo Nail Art – Mi Vida Loca Palette
Some of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers are playing palette bingo. Over the last week, they created looks with the Kat von D Mi Vida Loca palette. Since I don’t own it, I decided to join in the palette bingo challenge with a nail look using similar colours. The chosen colours were: Destroyer (red), Echo (bright purple), […]
