I was lucky enough to get to try some of the Beyond The Nail polishes that will be available at the Mississauga Etsy Made In Canada show this weekend. I find handmade polishes at craft shows can be a little hit and miss. Some are outstanding, usually the ones that come from straight polish / […]

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 […]
