This is the final manicure idea for Canada Day tomorrow, but would also work for the Fourth of July (or New Year’s!). I had originally thought I’d do two more manicures today, but just can’t make the time, so I’ll end this series with my favourite thing about Canada Day: fireworks! Check some other ideas… Continue reading Fireworks Mani For Canada Day
Can you tell I’m running out of titles for my series of Canada Day manicure ideas? (This is the 10th one! Check some other ideas out here, here, here and here.). For this look, I injected a little bit of black into the mix. The base colour on my thumb, index and pinky fingers is… Continue reading Black, White & Red Canada Day Manicure
I’m back today with the first of two more manicure ideas for Canada Day. This one is a classic french manicure, with a maple twist 🙂 This is one of the rare occasions when I didn’t wear a base coat! I made the french tips with Sinful Colours Snow Me White, then neatened the smile… Continue reading French Manicure For Canada Day With Maple Leaf Accent
Hello, again! Here’s a simple stamped mani idea for Canada Day: The base polish is three coats of KBShimmer Yeti or Not, a very pale grey (almost white) holographic polish with a slightly textured finish. I stamped over that with Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Rapid Red and an image of maple leaves from Aliexpress… Continue reading Simple Canada Day Mani

Hello, folks! Today I’ll share a nail polish that I frankened a couple of months ago and never got around to posting. For those of you who have never heard of “frankening”, it’s when you mix in other polish colours or tints to a base polish colour (or even to a clear base) to make… Continue reading Lilac Duochrome Frankenpolish
I’m going through a bit of a nail art slump. I think between this challenge and the daily swatches I’ve been doing for an untrieds challenge on Instagram, I’ve been dedicating too much of my brainspace to planning out nail polish. This was the third manicure I did for the geometric prompt of the 31DC,… Continue reading 31DC2017Weekly 16: Primarily Geometric
We’re halfway through with the 31DC2017Weekly! This week’s prompt is delicate print, and not only is the stamping pattern delicate, so is the base polish that shifts subtly from a green-leaning teal to a metallic yellowish-green. If you couldn’t tell from my posts, Tonic Polish is fast clawing its way up to the top of… Continue reading 31DC2017Weekly 15: Delicate Brocade
Hello, lovely people! As you may know, Canada’s big 150th birthday is coming up in about two weeks’ time and my beautiful city of Ottawa is a-buzzin’!

I once went for a haircut and the stylist asked if she could have a go at curling my long hair. I told her I’d tried several times in the past, and that my hair neither curls well nor can it hold a curl beyond a couple of hours. She assured me she was a… Continue reading Curled Piece 1: ISA Professional Flat Iron Review & Loose Curls
