Love or Hate: Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour

New nail textures are hitting the market.
Some are unique- while others are just plain bizarre.
Sally Hansen has just released one of their newest polishes called
Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour ($7.95 CDN).
Peach Fuzz
Transform your manicure with Sally Hansen’s newest nail innovation: Fuzzy Coat Textured Nail Colour. Taking inspiration from the strong textural themes at the latest runway shows, Sally Hansen has developed a new, exclusive special effect formula that makes nails the focal point of any look. Blurred, woven and marbled fiber looks resembling hand-spun yarn are combined in a multidimensional network of colour to create a matte finish with a fibered texture effect.
I've never seen anything like it before! 
I'm still debating my stance.
I do love how it looks over clear polish but it's so odd!

How do you feel?

Quo by ORLY New Fall Launch

Did you know Quo by Orly polish has become one of Canada's leading nail polish brands. With high quality like this and the price tag of $10 CDN each I understand why they are so popular. 

Back in June, I had the opportunity to attend their preview at Polson Pier and check out ORLY's new fall launches. In attendance was Jeff Pink, ORLY founder. Did you know that he invented the French manicure in the mid-1970? Also celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees was there as well on hand to speak about ORLY's partnership with Shoppers Drug Mart and Quo. 

The Orly smartGELS LED lamp is so cute! Honestly, when I first saw it I thought it was a phone case.  It's actually portable light-weight LED lamp that packs a punch. It has a timer with three settings: 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds depending on your manicure. It also charges by USB which means that you do not need to worry about batteries. The lamp is $85CDN. I love the fact that it's small enough to fit in my purse and it can come with me on my vacations.

Each lamp came with a personal touch! 
We had the opportunity to get our name on it in one of the Quo by Orly polish colours.
This August look out for shades from their fall line which features some 
lovely purples, pinks, reds and a cool blue. 

They will also have a megapixel effects line which innovative formula showcases millions of glitter pixels for a multi-dimensional finish. There are seven colors in the collection. 
You can wear it with out without a top coat. 

Are gel nails more of your thing? 
They're also expanding their GelFX line and by adding over 20 new shades. 

I have been familiar with Kimmie's work for awhile now on Rihanna.
She's totally down to earth and she even complemented my nails. 

Last but not least, Nail Techs were on hand to give us manicures inspired by Kimmie's work!

Trends: Ombre Fever

I'm obsessed with Ombre hair!
I have come to a conclusion that it looks best on others.
*sigh*

That doesn't stop me from enjoying other ladies rocking the look.
Khloe has the best ombre I've ever seen.
The look also looks great on Keke Palmer.

How do you feel about the ombre trend?

Two-Toned Nails with Glitter

I love doing my nails. If I had the time I would redo them everyday!

Nail art has become so popular lately. The idea of doing nail art on yourself overwhelms a lot of people. 
You don't need to be an artist to turn heads with your nails.

Did you know that you could use items from your local dollar store to assist you with your nail art? Like circular reinforcements that you used in elementary school for lined paper! Use them as a guideline for half moon manicures. Those triangular white makeup sponges that come in packs of 100. Cut them up and use them to create an ombre nail look with your favourite polishes. 


Whenever my manicures start to expire I just get out my glitter. 

Avon MegaWatt Nail Enamel in “Shock” and “Pop” and 
Hard Candy Nail Lacquer in “Hip Hip Hooray.”
Crystal Confetti is a collection of trend-setting nail polish shades that puts the final touch on fingertips and toes with a top-quality formula.


Hardcandy has some of the best glitters!



Currently Obsessed: Mary Kay Brush Cleaner

I'm always on the hunt for a good brush cleaner! Issues I've had in the past are overpowering scents or it takes way to long for the brushes to dry. Let me say this first- In my opinion a cleanser doesn't substitute as a deep clean.

Mary Kay Brush Cleaner ($12.00 CDN) quick-drying cleaner removes makeup and really cleans your brushes.

  • Helps to provide stay-true color between applications of different shades and textures.
  • Helps condition bristles to protect your investment.
  • Brushes feel new and perform like new after use.
  • Keeps brushes smelling clean and fresh.
  • Brushes dry in their original shape.

Directions on the bottle state that you should spray directly on the brush hairs. I prefer to spray directly on the paper towel. Then I sweep the brush back and forth to get the product out.

I really like how quick it gets the product out. Plus it smells really fresh!

I also tried it on a sponge brush. It worked but I do recommend deep cleaning sponges.

Are you a fan of brush cleaners?
