Some of my favourite nail art ideas — a few I even tried — so much fun!
You know those expensive nail strips that come in a box with different patterns. Well you can make your own… sort of. Last year I saw a video (shocker!) for DIY nail strips with a water marble look to them and it has always been in the back of my mind to try it. I…
For the longest time I was using Revlon’s basecoat but then someone said I had to try Zoya’s basecoat so I picked up a bottle. I am quite fond of it. It is a bit watery and spreads on in a thin coat. I found myself just wearing it alone a lot over the last…
I do not get particularly excited about neutral colors so when my Julep’s Lois arrived in my Mystery Box I put it aside as a, “someday I will get around to it” nail polish. Well it happened last week and I am really glad it did. I am surprised how much I liked this pale…

I have had this video by Dakota from Luxurious Nails saved in my draft since last year when I came across it because I thought it would be a perfect post for Valentine’s day. I really wasn’t in the mood for anything other than chocolate this year so I kept putting it off. When I…
In the early fall I bought a bunch of Avon nail polishes including these two. At the time I bought them I had not planned to put them together when I pulled them out of the box last week it seemed like a good plan. Meh. By itself the Suddenly Sunny Speed Dry goes on…
I decided to go for simple holiday nails this week with a bright red and a holographic top coat. These are two of my favorite polishes. The red is by Sally Hansen (Rapid Red) and the sparkly top coat is by Julep (Joelle). You don’t have to have these polishes to get a similar look…
