Barbie Girl

Last summer I was fortunate enough to work with Butter London to make a design using their BUTTERxBARBIE polish duo in celebration of Barbie's 60th anniversary! In honor of the milestone, I based my design on the bathing suit worn by the original Barbie in 1959.

Neon, negative space, and matte - is a cooler combination for summer even possible?! 😍

I had the pleasure of working with Butter London for a couple projects in the summer of 2019, and this was one of those times. This scalloped-outline look features two polishes from their Springtime Romance Collection. 🌸✨

Unlike the vast majority of my designs, this one is not actually hand painted. Today I'm trying out some nail stickers that I got as a PR sample from Twinkled T!

Earlier this year Sally Hansen reached out to me about joining the #SallySquad and trying out some of their polishes along with their new matte gel topcoat. Since I've been into more minimalistic designs recently I went for this simple glitter cuticles look.

Butter London Glazen Collection Swatches

Originally posted October 9-11.

Earlier this year I was contacted by Butter London and asked if I was interested in trying out their brand new *peel-off* glitter polish collection, Glazen. As an avid hater of glitter polish removal, my interest was immediately peaked by the idea of glitter polish that you could just peel right off without having to use a special peel-off base coat.

Hey guys! I have a few swatches from Born Pretty Store for you today.

CND Glacial Illusion Collection Swatches

Now that it's December I think it's time to take a peek at some winter nail polishes! Today I'll be taking a look at CND's Winter 2017 Collection called Glacial Illusion.

CND Nightspell Collection Swatches

I'm finally getting kind of caught up with my swatches! Today I'll be taking a look at CND's Fall 2017 Collection called Nightspell! This fall line is “reminiscent of precious jewels” and the shades “blur the boundaries between night and day.”

CND Playland Collection Swatches

A few months ago the lovely people at CND sent me their Creative Play Playland Collection to try out! I don't know how other artists feel about swatching, but I always find it to be rather time consuming to swatch and photograph 8 polishes, so it took me a while to put time aside to sit and test out these polishes. With that being said, you guys may recognize some of the polishes I'll be showing you in this post because I started using them in designs way before I had the opportunity to test them out fully.

CND Rhythm & Heat Collection Swatches

Hey guys!
Last month I was invited by CND Canada to attend a launch event for their new Rhythm and Heat Collection for Summer 2017! The event was joint event with Revlon professional so in addition to getting a manicure in one of CND's new colours we also got a keratin treatment for our hair (and I have to say that my hair definitely felt softer afterwards)!

Today I'll be showing you my swatches of the 6 polishes in the new Rhythm and Heat Collection and sharing my thoughts on each of them!

Londontown Lakur Swatches

I was recently contacted by LONDONTOWN about trying out some of their lakur polishes. This is a brand that isn't available in-stores in Canada so I was curious to try it out!
The package I was sent included 4 of their lakur polishes, a base coat, a gel topcoat (no lamp required), a drying oil, and a cuticle oil.

LONDONTOWN polishes and other nail products are 9-free, cruelty-free, gluten-free, vegan, and infused with Florium complex.

CND Celebration Collection Swatches

Hey guys! A few weeks ago I received a package from CND that contained their Creative Play Celebration Collection (as well as a few other holiday polishes) and now that it's December I thought this would be a good time to show you the swatches!

CND Craft Culture Collection Swatches

Hey guys! If you follow me on Instagram you may already know that a few weeks ago I was invited to attend a launch event for CND's Fall 2016 line in Toronto as a media guest (!!). This was my first media event ever and it was really fun to go, get a manicure, and see the new collection in advance. At the end of the night were were sent home with some awesome gift bags which included the entire Craft Culture Collection. The collection is launching tomorrow, July 1st and will be available through Trade Secrets, Chatters, and CND salons (cnd.com/find-salon)!

So without further ado, let's get to those swatches!

Serendipity Polish Swatches

Hey guys! Thanks to the lovely people at Serendipity Polish I have some swatches for you today!

Del Sol Swatches

I'm finally posting these long-awaited Del Sol swatches!

I can't believe how long this has taken, from a weird mix-up with UPS which extended delivery time, to exams, to the sun not cooperating with me, these swatches have encountered setback after setback. But fear not, they are finally here!

Ciaté Swatches

If you follow me on some of my other social media platforms, you may know that I received some awesome Nail Mail from the lovely people at Ciaté about a week ago. I've had the swatches of the polishes they sent me ready to go for a while now but haven't had the time to post them because of some time-sensitive designs that had to be posted first.
Now that those post are out of the way though I can finally show you these gorgeous Ciaté polishes that I received!
