The red is for Canada. The gold is for the good times with friends. The diamond/stars is for the hopes we hold for a new year. Xmas is not traditionally a happy … Continue reading
Hey guys! This is the first week of Nail Polish Canada’s Holiday nail competition. The first theme? Snow! I love snow, and being a nerd, I love the crystalline, multidimensional look of it in the light. I felt I had to do more than just white or snowflakes, so I went with icicles and glitter, and shimmer! This looks hard, but it’s really not. You know me, I’m too lazy to do something … Continue reading

They sell nail art tools and decoration, and some really cute cosmetics, too. I picked out these cute dried flowers, because it’s something I haven’t tried before, or seen around locally. You get a wheel container where you can turn the opening to the one you want to pick – way easier, and less … Continue reading
Hey guys! This week has been crazy. But, somewhere in that mess, I spotted this new nail polish brand – Essence. From what i’ve read, it’s a European brand, just landed here in Canada.

That being said, some cheaper brands are of…questionable … Continue reading
Hey Strangekittens! How was your weekend? Here at SK we chilled out, went to see ‘Brave’. I loved it. Partially because the lead girl has the same crazy curly hair I do, and I can kinda relate to the whole ‘stop trying to turn me into you’ thing. Speaking of hair…i’m blonde now lol. I still need to lighten it a bit more maybe, but I like it: UPDATE: It kept … Continue reading
