No stamping for day 5 of the #31DC2016 challenge! The prompt is blue nail polish and I went for an easy look using Essie Starry Starry Night and a topper of Set in Stones. Keeping it simple since I am just catching up with the others. Since this is glitter heavy, I started with a […]

KleanColor Rose Scented Double Stamped Heart Manicure

I recently posted a manicure with Pueen’s Fairytale Lover 02 plate and Quo by Orly’s Freshly Cut where Nichole from Bedlam Beauty requested I use the stamping image with the hearts. Since this is the image that first lead me to discovering the Love Box 02 set after seeing it from NailStamp4Fun on youtube, I […]
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 […]
Avon Fall Colour Report: Green Nail Polishes

I love a good dark green in fall but the Avon Colour Trend Report for fall shows that all greens are in and they have options for every skintone and look from brighter yellowed greens like Citronized, ultra wearable blue-greens like Turquoise Pop and your typical darker jeweled greens like Noir Emerald. I already had […]
Back to School Chalkboard Equation Nails With Essence

One of the images I never thought I would use from my Pueen Love Box 02 set suddenly appealed to me for back to school nails. I never thought I would need a scientific equation nail stamp but loved the other images on the stamping plate, especially the plaid which I have used a few […]
Quo by Orly Freshly Cut Stamped Manicure

Quo by Orly Freshly Cut (stamped) – Shade I tend not to wear red polishes very often but Quo by Orly Freshly Cut caught my attention in the clearance racks at Shoppers Drug Mart. I can’t resist any Quo polishes when they are on clear-out for only $2 and grabbed a few different ones. Red is […]
Quo by Orly Rooftop Lounge #AlphabetNails

The alphabet of nail polish challenge is back this week and for R I chose Quo by Orly Color Amp’d in Rooftop Lounge. Color Amp’d polishes have flexible technology so they resist dings and scratches, great for when you want to stamp over them in a hurry. Rooftop Lounge is a gel finish bright teal […]
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 […]
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 […]
