I reviewed the entire Flora & Fauna collection by CND last year and was surprised to find I really liked Fragrant Freesia as I tend not to wear a lot of nude polishes or pinks. It is least pigmented of the collection but is absolutely beautiful when worn. A pearly nude pink with light flecks similar […]

The ABCs of China Glaze Nail Polish
In my quest to find a nail polish brand that could be used for the entire alphabet of nail polish challenge, I have unsuccessfully tried Zoya and Essie. This week, I am going through the China Glaze collection to see if there are enough polishes named with different letters to do the entire alphabet. At […]
The ABCs of Essie Nail Polish
Last week, I went through the Zoya collection to find out if I could do the alphabet nails challenge using only Zoya. Turns out I can’t so this week I am making an alphabetical list of all Essie polishes to see if it is possible with Essie. Where possible, I am going to stay away […]
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

Steel City Reflections – Sarah Sanderson Swatches

While Winifred Sanderson became an instant favourite in the warmer weather when I bought these, this vampy purple holo with red medium and larger glitter was a winter fave. Like Mary Sanderson, it did not […]
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. […]
Steel City Reflections – Mary Sanderson Swatches
I reviewed Winifred Sanderson, one of the sister polishes to Mary Sanderson a while back. It is part of a trio by Steel City Reflections, a local Hamilton based indie nail polish company. Now I have Mary Sanderson for you. It is described as a blood red holo polish with larger burnt orange holo glitter. Against […]
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 […]
