I can’t believe I am already on J in my alphabet of nail polish challenge. For J, I chose Julep Joanna – Bombshell, a lilac frost. I have never had a Julep subscription, so must have received this as a gift or in a polish swap. I am not sure I would have chosen it […]

Pueen Love Box 2 & Shipping To Canada
A bit if a different post today. I am sharing a quick overview of Pueen’s Love Box 2 Collection which I recently received but also a review of Pueen.com and their shipping policies to Canada. I have a number of Pueen products, but the Love Boxes are not available on Nail Polish Canada or Amazon.ca […]
F is for CND Fragrant Freesia
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.

Enter Wonderland from Essence’s Hidden Stories collection is a beautiful off white matte polish that just calls for newspaper nails.

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 […]
