Each month, the Canadian Beauty Bloggers choose a theme for new posts in case the group needs some prompts or a theme for new posts. For May, we are posting about pastels. I tend to go bright over pastel for my nails, but one of my long time faves that I was so glad to […]

Essence Don’t Be Shy Swatches + Nail Art
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 […]
Paris Ooh Lalaa! Mani Monday
I am not always the hugest fan of pale or pastel nail polishes, but I fell in love with the Hidden Stories collection by Essence the second I got my claws onto them. The base of this stamped Mani Monday design is Essence Where Did I Park My Unicorn? If I had unicorns, I think […]
Essie Coat Couture Swatches + Nailart
Continuing with the alphabet series, I have Essie’s Coat Couture from the Cashmere Matte collection which will always be a favourite of mine. It is a grey-purple matte with blue shimmer that looks amazing matte or with a shiny top coat. I love the dusty look of the purple because it makes Coat Couture so […]
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. Except I didn’t have any newspaper as we only get a digital copy so I decided to do them with Born Pretty’s BP-76 text stamping plate. Supplies: Essence Hidden Stories Enter Wonderland Essence Rock My World […]

But I was inspired by Simply Nailogical’s video. She knows that watermarbles are a pain and often don’t work […]

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
