My mom bought them so we could share them together.They provide amazing volume and you can create different styles with different roller sizes. Came with 30 clips. Normally it comes with 15 but flatironexperts.com added 15 extra ones! The different size rollers They...

Marble Nails: China Glaze's Bahamian Escape & First Mate

  WOW, I am very impressed by the results of these nails! I've tried marbling twice in the past, which both ended in extreme failures. Finally I have succeeded! I really wanted to have blue nails, so I used a sky blue and a dark creme blue. In water marbling I've noticed that the best brand to use is China Glaze, it speeds into the water perfectly. I'd suggest to test out the colours you want to use before the process because sometimes polishes...

Nails of the Day: Zoya's Phoebe

POP goes the Zoya cherry! It is the first time I ever bought/used a Zoya polish. This is the colour "Phoebe" from their Mod Matte collection.  I personally love matte nails and lips but I know a lot of people don't. If your love matte polishes like I do, you should definitely try out this colour. It's an extremely bright sky blue, which is a colour I've never really seen as a matte, but it is beautiful & unique. I also love how they mattified...

Day 30 >> 30 Day Challenge

30 Day ChallengeDay 30 - Your favourite nail design WOW! I can't believe this will be my last post for the 30 day challenge!This one is pretty simple. The nail design I love creating the most is zebra prints. I find they are so simple to create if you own a nail art polish, and they are super duper cute. Whenever I do zebra prints on my nails many people ask me how I do it. They think it must take so much effort. What they don't know is how simple...

30 Day ChallengeDay 29 - Lip product you can't live withouteos lipbalms  I love lipbalms so very much & I would consider them my favourite kind of lip product. Now, if I had to pick my favourite lipblam it would be the eos lipbalms. I think the concept & packaging is pretty awesome, but the actual product does great things for my lips aswell. It really moisturizes and smells amazing. I couldn't pick a favourite in all their scents so...

Nails of the Day: China Glaze's Crushed Candy (crackle) & Joe's Oyster

I finally tried my China Glaze crackle polish for the first time today! I absolutely love the colour, and I heard it was very close to For Audrey (which I have been dieing to find/buy).  A couple of days ago I applied Joe's Oyster polish which I am pretty sure is from their summer collection. It's a foil silver colour that reflects cooper tones. I also found that if you looked really closely in the sun (like in the last picture) there were...

30 Day Challenge Day 28 - Brand you wish you could purchase where you live There are 2 brands I would love to be able to purchase where I live.   Sonia Kashuk is sold at Target. In general I wish there were Targets where I live (Target will be entering the Canadian market in 2014, WOOT WOOT). I always hear such great things about the Sonia Kashuk products that I want to buy everything from the brand.     Barry M is a British...

 30 Day ChallengeDay 27 - Your favourite skincare line I couldn't post this yesterday. I basically woke up, showered, left my house and just got home now. I guess it's still yesterday in other parts of the world! Anyways, for this challenge I will talk to you about my favourite skincare line. Well, let me start by saying that I don't have a favourite skincare line. I'll be honest and say that skincare is not my strength. I cleanse and moisturize...

Nails of the Day: Butter London's No More Waity, Katie

O-M-G. I cannot believe I own this nail polish. I had been dying for it. The few places that sell Butter London near me never had it. I finally ordered it on the company's online website (they have an American, a Canadian and an UK website). I can say that I was the happiest girl in Canada today when I tried it on for the first time. Lets start off by saying that I was completely obsessed with the Royal Wedding. Once it happened, it hit me, I NEEDED...

 30 Day ChallengeDay 26 - Item on your wishlistI've got a pretty long wishlist, and you'll be surprised to find out that the item I want the most is a simple $6 nail polish: China Glaze's For Audrey. The day I own this nail polish will be a very memorable moment in my life. Why do I want it so much? I love Tiffany's & Co, I love the Tiffany blue, so guess what! I want the Tiffany blue polish! China Glaze is not widely sold where I live....

Nails of the Day: Fun Multicoloured Nail Design

Tomorrow I have an exam for my summer class, so this post will a quick one! I've been so busy lately with my intensive summer class, trying to have a social life and trying keep some free time for myself. I decided to be a little creative with my nails and create a cute nail designed that involved a lot of colours. This is what I ended up with and I can say I am pleased with the result. At first, I wanted to use neons, but then I realized it wasn't...

30 Day Challenge Day 25 - Favourite Decoration Piece in your Bedroom  My walls are apple green  I went to Paris two years ago, and I came back with a love for this city. Immediately after I came back I started decorating my room with objects that were related to Paris. One day I was shopping and fell upon this 9 piece frame, it was love at first sight. I needed to own this. It wasn't inexpensive, so I asked my parents for this as a birthday...

30 Day ChallengeDay 24 - Favourite Candle  This one was hard because I love all of my candles. I guess my most appreciated one is the Bath & Body Works Creamy Pumpkin, which came out with their last fall collection. If you didn't get a chance to smell it, Bath & Body Works are known for bringing back scents, so maybe you'll be able to purchase it in the future.  I'm not a fan of the smell of pumpkins, and although the name of this...

30 Day Challenge Day 23 - Countries you've been I'm pretty sure I created this specific category in the 30 Day Challenge. I didn't create it to brag about the places I've been, I'm just really passionate about traveling and if I had to write a blog about something else than make up it would be about the world! I've been so fortunate to be able to have seen what I have seen in the world. I might not have seen as much as some people have, but I'm...

Nails of the Day: French Tips

Today I decided to be a little classic and give myself some simple french tips. These are by no means perfect, I did them fast and it's not like I am an expert at this. I simply used some tape to ouline my tips and put a few coats of a white polish until it was completely opaque.  The polish I used is from the Love & Beauty brand which can be purchased at Forever 21. It's not too opaque and took approximately 4 coats to get to what I got....

30 Day ChallengeDay 22 - Your favourite perfumeThis was one of the first perfumes I ever splurged on with my own money. Trust me, before I splurged for this I looked for the perfect perfume, and found this one. All the other ones where given to me as a gift before this one.  I'd say that this perfume is both playful and professional. There is hints of fruits and flowers perfectly blended, which is topped off by a natural vanilla scent. It really...

Nails of the Day: China Glaze's High Hopes

I actually bought this colour a while ago but never got around to using it. I've recently gotten into a very summery mood where I want to wear everything coral so I decided it was time to try it out! I'll start off by honestly saying that the colour that is on my nails was not what I expected it to be when I bought it. When you look at the bottle, it looks likes a creme coral pink that is close to a red. I fell inlove with the bottle right away because...

30 Day ChallengeDay 21 - Photo of the weather I actually went out of town for a night yesterday so I took a few pictures on my 3 hour drive home. No, I was not the one driving, so this is totally legal :P.  When I first left, although it was cloudy and windy, there was no rain. It was cold outside, probably around 10 degrees Celsius. Very chilly considering a few days ago it was 25.. WHERE IS THE SUNNNN? Then it started raining. Thanks...

30 Day Challenge Day 20 — Your favourite mascara I love this mascara so much. I adore trying out new mascaras, but I always come back to this one. I specifically like the curved brush mascara in black. I've tried the regular brush as well as the carbon black one and although they aren't bad, this one stays my all time favourite.  It kind of gives a clumpy application, so if you don't like clumpy mascaras then don't try this one. No other mascara...

Nails of the Day: Essie's Borrowed & Blue

Essie recently came out with a new Wedding Collection. I wasn't really interested in the collection with the exception of this colour. I do own a couple other pastel blues, but this one really caught my eye. This one is much lighter than any pastel blue I own, making it unique to my collection.  I really love this colour. It will be great to wear all spring and summer. I've always found Essie as the best brand when it comes to pastels. Essie...
