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 […]

Metallic Nails For #31DC2016
I went for a simpler look today. The theme for day 8 of the #31DC2016 challenge is metallic nails and while I had grand thoughts of a look that I still plan to do sometime in the future so will keep secret, I just didn’t have the time. I have used Layla Bubbly in Black […]
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 […]
31 Day Challenge – Days 1 – 4 #31DC2016
I had planned on participating in #31DC2016 but somehow September just crept up on me and before I realized it, it was the 3rd and I had not done any of them. Not giving up, I spent my day playing with nail polishes and making a huge mess. Since I am behind, I cheated a […]
When Colours Collide – Red, Purple & Black With No Stamping
I finally jumped on the When Colours Collide bandwagon in time for a no stamping challenge. I am not 100% in love with my look but I guess that is part of the challenge, doing things you would not usually do. I also could not decide what to do, so went with skittle nails and […]
Cirque Dear Dahlia Swatch & Nail Art
Taking a break from the alphabet nails series this week to share a retired shade from Cirque with some nail stamping. I wore this last week and had to take some photos to share. Cirque Dear Dahlia is a fuchsia jelly with multi-dimensional shimmer that shows mostly green but has gold to red shifts. The shimmer […]
Purple Smoosh Mani with Avon Purplicious, Lavender Sky & Sterling
I loved the smoosh mani I did with the CND Flirtation collection and since the Canadian Beauty Bloggers theme of the month is purple, decided to go for another smoosh for Mani Monday. This time I used three Avon Gel Finish polishes, Purplicious (darker purple), Lavender Sky (lighter purple) and Sterling (silver shimmer) over a […]
Smoosh Stamped Manicure with CDN Vinylux Flirtation Collection
Do you remember the CND Vinylux polishes I got with my #CNDRescueKit? I was sorting my recent polishes and just had to use these again so decided on a smoosh mani using all four of the CND Vinylux Flirtation collection polishes. While pretty, I like something more so added some stamping using a similar blue […]
Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty
I own a single polish with a name starting with Q and it is not the most exciting choice for #alphabetnails. Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty is a plain silver glitter in a clear base. No holo, just smallish silver glitter. There is nothing wrong with it, just with so many colourful polishes it seems […]
