Zoya Kimber – AlphabetNails

Zoya Kimber Stamped Rica The Golden Egg Polish

Flying through the alphabet of nail polishes, this week is K and I chose Zoya Kimber. Zoya Kimber is probably my favourite pink polish.  It is one of few polishes I have used the whole bottle and purchased a second.  There are several polishes that I have bought a second bottle, but usually because they […]

Quo by Orly Color Amp’d Best Dressed

Quo by Orly Color Ampd Best Dressed Silver Foil Nail Polish Stamped

A good silver polish is hard to find.  So many are glittery and the foil finish ones often show brush strokes.  So Quo by Orly Color Amp’d in Best Dressed was a nice surprise.  It applied like a dream and while almost a one-coater, the second coat deepened the opacity without those terrible brush strokes.  The […]

Mariposa Nail Art Design Kits

Mariposa Nail Art Kit Products

I was at my local Dollar Tree store when I noticed these Mariposa Nail Art Design kits.  I have had a lot of luck with the Mariposa polishes I have tried from Dollarama and figured that $1.25 for three striping / nail design polishes and a pack of stickers is cheaper than even Born Pretty […]

UNT Ready For Takeoff Peel Off Basecoat

UNT peel off base coat with polish peeled off

I have wanted to try UNT Ready For Takeoff Peelable Basecoat for ages.  Simply Nailogical recommended it as the best peel off basecoat (see her comparison video here) but it is not available in Canada so I held off ordering it while trying various other peel off base coats and glitter bases.  Since my no-buy/low-buy […]

Avon Gel Finish Inked Up Nailart

Avon Gel Finish Inked Up Nail Polish Nailart in Sunlight

I was originally going to use Avon Gel Finish Inked Up with the three gold polishes I posted earlier this week when I realized it would work perfectly for Alphabet Nails since I was not in love with my old choice for the letter I.  So at the risk of turning into an Avon and […]

All That Glitters Is Avon Gold

All that glitters is Avon gold nail polishes

Each month, the Canadian Beauty Bloggers choose a theme for featured posts, and this month is gold.  This ties in so well with the Queen’s birthday celebrations over the weekend as what is more royal than gold?  Although, if I had waited to paint my nails, I would have gone with neon green.  The Queen […]

Revlon Holographic Pearls Transforming Effects

Revlon Holographic Pearls over Quo Ampd

I was torn over choosing a polish for the alphabet nail challenge today.  I have a couple of polishes that start with H but with the exception of Zoya Hazel which I have used a number of times on the blog and defeats the purpose of trying new polishes and blogging others from my collection. […]

Mani Monday With Workaday Beauty

Hello lovely Tea & Nail Polish readers, Sarah from Workaday Beauty here. Eithne was looking for some guest posters, and we both share a love of nail polish (and tea), so I thought I’d send a simple nail art look to help her out. It’s almost summer lately here in BC, and that has me […]
