Review-Born Pretty Pink Panther Water Nail Decals

For those of us addicted to all things nail art, the Born Pretty Store has become THE hot spot for supplies at amazing prices and my favourite part, free worldwide shipping! The Born Pretty Store also carries a number of other non-nail art related items such as cosmetics, stationary and phone accessories so when I first discovered the site last year, I spent days just browsing!

Today’s review involves yet another new nail art “technique” for me and that is water nail decals! I have never used them before, but from what I have seen they look like a lot of fun to use! The ones that I will be using can be found here and really caught my eye as I loved the Pink Panther growing up. The decals come neatly packaged in protective, pink cardboard with instructions for use on the back.

Day 19-My Favourite Polish: Gotta Be a Holo!

When you have a collection of around 500 polishes, it gets progressively difficult to choose a favourite, but I definitely have a soft spot for holographic polishes AND the colour purple so Layla-Ultra Violet is an appropriate compromise. I always forget how patchy holo polishes can be too apply, but at three coats I got this polish to work and is it ever pretty! I never get tired of how stunning holo polishes look and I hope that I can rock them even if I’m 95! And now for the nail porn ;-)

April Luvs

After having a couple of pretty unadventurous months when it came to trying new products, I now have a post worthy of sharing with you all! I forced myself to try a lot of new things and use them consistently over the last month. It turned out to be a good strategy and gave me some new products to love!

Let’s get started shall we?

May the Fourth Be with You Nails!

Now I know that I am supposed to have Day 19 up today, but I could not resist being a part of May 4th and finally getting a chance to do some Star Wars nails! I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and still get teary-eyed with I see the Death Star blow up.

I’m not a very good artist so I tend to shy away from things like faces and stick to more geometric things so that’s why C3PO and Darth Vader look a little weird, but R2-D2 is my favourite! I should do a whole manicure with just his little robot body!

Review-Fruits & Passion Watermelon Goji and Pomelo-Granite

Today I am very excited to share with you a Canadian company that I’m sure many of you have heard of over the years called Fruits & Passion! This is a company that has won numerous awards and received much recognition for ethically sourcing all of their ingredients and making sure that nature doesn’t suffer for the sake of their products. All Fruits & Passion ingredients are plant-derived and contain nothing animal or mineral-based.

There are some new deliciously fruity scents at Fruits & Passion two of which I will review for you today! The first is Watermelon Goji which is fresh, fruity and perfect for summer! I almost exclusively use bath and body products that smell fruity so Watermelon Goji is perfect and is described as a fragrance bursting with fresh, summery watermelon notes accented with a cheerful and invigorating splash of goji berry.

Day 18-My Oldest Untried with OPI-DS Extravagance

My oldest untried nail polish is from almost two years ago when I first discovered my love of “the polish” and it is OPI-DS Extravagance! What I’m wearing here is two very easy coats with fantastic opacity. The entire DS line is one that I find quite fascinating and this was the first one that grabbed my attention and remains my favourite to this day, so why I waited so long to wear it as a full manicure is beyond me!
