I try my best to look after my nails and cuticles but in general, they tend towards dry and my nails break easily once past the tips of my fingers. Moving however, left my nails looking horrible. As in, there is no way I am swatching polishes or playing with my new stamping plates when […]

Splatter Nails
A group of us are recreating manicures by the lovely Roselynn over at Manicured and Marvelous and since I have always wanted to try splatter nails, I figured I would try out her Digit-al Dozen New & Improved splatter nails mani from January. Perhaps trying this while sick was a bad idea because I can […]

Sparkling Galaxy Nails
It has been ages since I have done galaxy nails but I was inspired while packing away my makeup and finding an unopened pack of sponges so decided that sparking galaxy nails were in order. I love the look of galaxy nails and while not as time-consuming (or difficult) as other nail art, I find […]
The ABCs of Zoya Nail Polish
When I started the Alphabet of Nails, a few people mentioned that some letters would be hard to find. Now, not all of us will have every polish from a company – I certainly don’t but I was interested to see if it was possible within a single brand. So today, I have the ABCs […]

Zoya Lake Swatches & Review
When I saw Zoya Lake in person, I knew I had to have it, Lake appears almost grey in some light and more blue in others making it very wearable. Zoya Lake is part of the 2016 Whispers collection which arrived in stores in early February. When I saw the press release for this collection, […]
Zoya Beatrix Pixie Dust – Mariposa Glitter Dupe
As I mentioned when I reviewed the rest of the Mariposa glitter polishes recently, the orange would be featured separately and here it is. On swatching it, I realized that while not a dupe, it is very close to Zoya Beatrix, one of their Pixie Dust polishes. Both have a similar tangerine tone, Mariposa is […]
Palette Bingo Nail Art – Mi Vida Loca Palette
Some of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers are playing palette bingo. Over the last week, they created looks with the Kat von D Mi Vida Loca palette. Since I don’t own it, I decided to join in the palette bingo challenge with a nail look using similar colours. The chosen colours were: Destroyer (red), Echo (bright purple), […]
