The Polish Bar Late Summer 2015 Collection (Partial), Swatches and Review

Hello everyone! I’m back with a few polishes from The Polish Bar’s Late Summer 2015 collection. I’ve had the pleasure to review The Polish Bar several times (here, here, here, and here) and these did not disappoint. The collection consists of seven polishes named after some gorgeous beaches scattered around the globe. I reviewed four - two holos and two crellies. In short, I found the crellies slightly difficult to work with, but still very good polishes. The holos are excellent and my favourite Polish Bar polishes to date.

Lynnderella Venus in Copper, Swatches and Nail Art

Hi everyone! As I mentioned in my last post, I moved to Georgia recently. I've been here almost two weeks now, and it's been a whirlwind of getting used to the area, work meetings, and setting everything up (bank, phone, driver's license, car, yikes!). And that doesn't even include unpacking - I'm still waiting for the movers to arrive with my stuff (they said "before Christmas"...groan!). Luckily I haven't passed out from the heat, but wow, I've never been so thankful for air conditioning.

The Great Destash! How to Get Your Grab Bag!

Update: I'm no longer offering grab bags - please don't send any money, it will be returned immediately. Thank you everyone who took advantage of my offer, and I'm sorry to those of you who contacted me after I ran out. I was very surprised by the amount of emails I received regarding this, however, I'm happy that my polishes will be going to good homes. :) In total I sent out about 450 polishes, and gave away another 100-200 locally. 

Hi everyone! I mentioned in my last post that I got a new job for the fall. Well that job requires a big move - from Toronto to Georgia (USA), and in exactly two weeks, movers will be here to pick up all my beloved possessions. Moving is never easy, but I'm finding an international move has an extra level of complexity - I'll definitely be a basket case for the next two weeks!

I've been going through my stuff and paring down as much as possible, and that includes my nail polish collection. While I'd love to take all my pretties to the States with me, I just can't afford to ship 1000+ polishes. And since I don't have local friends who are into nail polish, I thought they'd be better off going back to the nail community.

Bellaluna Cosmetics Dreams Come True Collection (Partial), Swatches and Review

Hi everyone! I've been absent I know - work and life has been keeping me busy. For the last several months I've been job hunting and I'm finally happy to say that I got a full time job for this school year (I teach university). Yay! I'll be honest, I don't know what it means for this blog but I'll post some sort of update when I am able to.

The Bellaluna Dreams Come True collection is based on Disney fairy tales. These have been out for awhile but they are still available, so if you see something you like, I encourage you to check out Samantha's Etsy shop. I'll review each polish individually then offer some thoughts at the end.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Nature, Day Five: Mountain Landscape

Hi everyone! At the end of a Digit-al Dozen week I always feel exhausted, no doubt because I'm not used to posting five days a week. However, I really enjoyed this week's theme, and was happy with what I came up with. I also really appreciate everyone's comments - after my sporadic blogging these past few months, it's been nice to read all the encouraging words. So thank you!
