When I started the Alphabet Nails series a few weeks ago, I did not expect the letter D to be a difficult one. I figured I would have multiple polishes to choose from each week, at least until the more unusual letters at the end of the alphabet. I do have a few D polishes […]

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.

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 […]
Zoya Beatrix Pixie Dust – Mariposa Glitter Dupe
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 […]

From frosted to […]
Essence Pastel Ombre Nail Art Polish in Blurry Up
I recently picked up Essence Pastel Ombre nail art polish in Blurry Up! from Shoppers Drug Mart. While I do have similar polishes in most colours that can be used for an ombre look and have lots of whites I can mix, I wanted to give this a try to see if it gave a […]
Valentine’s Day Nail Art – My Heart Beats For You
Another Valentine’s Day nail stamp from Bundle Monster, this time I went for the heart beats stamp on the BM-620 plate with some affordable nail polishes for an easy but different nail look. This particular heart beats stamp is the one that drew me to the plate, although I like the other heart themed images […]
