This post was done in partnership with JUVÉDERM®, and Allergan Canada however as always, all opinions are my own. How can one year be the best and worst in your entire life? I didn’t think it was possible, but between seeing my newborn grow into a 1-year old angel and ending an 11-year marriage (15 years together), 2018 was the best and worst year of my…

OPI Glitter Off – Review and Comparison

Tiffany’s Holiday Nailart
Who wouldn’t want one of Tiffany’s little blue boxes for christmas…for Chanukah…or hmmmm…ANY other DAY OF THE YEAR? Do you have a dream like this? Or what about this? The other day I was doing some shopping and ‘happened’ to walk by Tiffany’s.

A Holographic French Manicure
I have a lot of friends and family who love what I do and think it’s really fun, but they would never be caught dead with nailart as part of their manicures (either it’s not their thing or they ‘think’ they are too conservative). I beg to differ. I think anyone can add nailart to their regular manicures, it just has to be done with…

The First Snowfall – Pink Snowflake Nail Art
Today was the first snowfall in Toronto. I woke up early, looked outside and the leaves and trees were lined with a gorgeous carpet of white fluffy snow. For the last few weeks I’ve seen christmas, US thanksgiving and Hanukkah nails around the nail art community and I have to say, I just haven’t been able to face the thought of winter or any of…

Indie Nail Polish – Picture Polish Swatches and Review
I decided to jump on the nail polish indie bandwagon! Did you know that there are a ton of independent nail polish brands that are not sold in your local beauty salon and are often actually shipped directly from the polish brand’s owner? As this whole nail art world is new to me, I had no idea there were polishes outside of Essie and OPI…

Movember Moustache Nail Art
Why do men feel the need the grow a moustache for the month of November? Not only is it probably the only time that guys can get away with growing extremely unsightly facial hair (handlebar moustache anyone?), it also raises awareness for a significant cause, prostate cancer. Since 1994, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer. As…
