Maybelline Color Show in Bold Gold was my main gold stamping polish for so long, until I couldn’t find it anywhere after using a whole bottle. So I bought Mundo de Unas, because a good gold is much needed when stamping and many are too glittery and do not show well. Wandering around Dollar Tree […]

Poppy Nail Art

Part of the #CBBNov challenge is a prompt for poppies. The prompt was for yesterday, but it feels right posting it today. I originally tried to stamp a poppy-like design onto my nails. I didn’t have a perfect stamp so the closest I had was this image from the Pueen Nature Lover 02 plate. Close […]
Rainbow Nails – Day 9 #31DC2016

Day 9 of the 31 day nail challenge is rainbow nails. As pretty as they are, I hated this challenge, who wants to use 7+ polishes in a look. But I guess that is why it is a challenge. I decided on a rainbow gradient with butterflies from one of the newer square Born Pretty […]
Black & White Bird Themed Nails #31DC2016

Black and white is probably my favourite of the colour themes for the #31DC2016 challenge. I have wanted to use this bird themed plate for ages and since it always looks good in black and white manis, it seemed like the perfect time to try it out. I went for a different look on each […]
Violet Nails For Day 6 of #31DC2016

I have a Maybelline polish […]

Drugstore Faves – My Makeup Until I Move

Moving is a pain in the *** and since I already broke my fave blush trying to work around the boxes that are in my office, I decided to pack up my makeup carefully in advance of the move. This means I had to pick what was staying with me to last the next two […]
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 […]
Popcorn Nail Art for MTV Movie Awards

The MTV Movie Awards are far from the biggest and not one that I would usually bother with nail art for, but when I got an email from Trade Secrets mentioning their twitter party with prizes for the awards, I was inspired by the black cups of popcorn. I had started off with the classic […]
