#XMASNORULES: Snow

This is the second day in the #XMASNORULES challenge and the theme is Snow. I love snow! Especially when I'm inside, warm and toasty and there's no need to go outside, unless I just want to take a walk through the snow. Unfortunately, I usually have to make my way to work and somehow it seems my little country just isn't equipt for snow, because after a good snow fall, all...

Color Club Nouveau Vintage

When I first saw this polish, I was immediately drawn to the unusual color combination. In the bottle, it's a bronze brown shimmer with a green shimmer vaining running through it. The name, Color Club Nouveau Vintage,  is perfect for this polish, because it totaly looks like a bronze statue with the green petina caused by aging running through it.    The...

#XMASNORULES: Red and Green

Today is the first day of the #XMASNORULES Christmas Mani Challenge and we start this month off with Red and Green. I chose a green that I always gravitate towards around Christmas. It's just so pretty and sparkly, Color Club Holiday Splendor. For my red, I chose a true Christmas red, China Glaze Phat Santa. It's a red cream and I use it a lot in holiday mani's (and other mani's,...

Mani Monday's: US Thanksgiving

  Another Monday, another Mani Monday theme! This time it's a familiar one: Thanksgiving. I didn't even know there was a difference in the Candadian and US Thanksgiving, but apparently there is (not really, they only happen on different days, but still... it's a difference!). I had trouble coming up with an idea for the Canadian Thanksgiving theme and this time it was no...

Hare Dog Day Dream and OPI Dim Sum Plum

You're in luck today! Two polishes in one post! Both can be worn alone, but I just love them so much paired together. They compliment eachother nicely and combined they give my mani a sophisticated bling look, without being over the top. The first polish is OPI Dim Sum Plum, a pinktoned plum cream that has a gorgeous formula. Opague in just 2 coats, it levels nicely...

Barry M Red Black

I've heard a lot about Barry M polishes, but since they are not available over here, I never tried one. That is, untill my friend decided to order just a few and asked if I wanted to join in. I thought long and hard for about 10 seconds before I said YES! I chose 3 to start with, so I could see if I liked this brand or not. When I got my polishes, I instantly loved the colors...

OPI It's my year

When I ordered my first OPI polishes, I did a lot of research to see which polishes I wanted. They just have so many nice colors, I didn't just want to choose randomly. I looked at so many swatches of so many different polishes, My head felt like it was going to explode and finally I gave up and I just picked a few that I liked and clicked order. Today, I have one of those...

Dior Diorific Vernis 995 Minuit

A while back, I saw a press release for the new Dior Golden Winter collection and instantly fell in love with one of the polishes. But unfortunately Dior isn't cheap and I had to think about this very carefully before splurging on this polish. Luckily, I had about a month before this collection hit stores here, so plenty of time. I went back and forth, get it, it's gorgeous,...

Cuccio Manhattan Mayhem

I love red polish as you probably all know. I was doing a little window shopping on nailsupplies.us when I saw this polish. I loved it and immediately turned to google for swatches. Oh my... heaven on a nail! Of course it was out of stock, so I couldn't order it. Isn't that always the way it goes? When I was doing a little order for me and a friend a while later, I noticed this...
