Hello Lovely Ladies,

I had to see my Grandma off to the Airport yesterday; her month long visit went by so quickly!  Goodbyes are so darn hard- especially when I know it may be another few years since I see her again.  I will say that the visit restored the important sense of family in my heart, and allowed my children to really get to know their great-grandma; I am certain they will now each have special moments stored up to cherish as they grow up.

I wept enough yesterday, but was able to gather myself enough to put together this post…

… It all started with my inner need to wear OPI Warm & Fozzie again:

Hello Lovely Ladies,

Today is Victoria Day in Canada; I hope all of my Canadian friends and readers are enjoying a nice long weekend.  Though I am working this morning, I intend on spending the rest of the day with my family, with a nice BBQ dinner; my grandma is leaving for Poland tomorrow… thus today is bitter sweet: we will be celebrating her being here with us, but we know that as of tomorrow she will be traveling back home.

Today’s post is a fun one, I hope you enjoy this look as much as I did:

Hello Lovely Ladies,

Another gorgeous start to the week.  Today I want to show you a manicure that I wore to pick up my Grandma from the airport at the end of April… honestly, it feels like just yesterday that she came to visit, and already -in one week’s time- we will have to say our farewells.

(I will also be announcing the two winners from the Fake Tattoo giveaway at the end of this post)

Hello Lovely Ladies,

 You might remember my recent PUEEN plate set review… well PUEEN has come up with a new 24 plate set and I am soooo excited to review it here for you!  Whereas their previous set of plates was predominantly geometric-shapes, this LOVE ELEMENTS collection has a more romantic, softer, floral collection of designs

Hello Lovely Ladies,

It is no secret that I get all giddy around a peach cream polish… I swear, if someone was bored enough to study my pupil size, I bet they dialate to record size   While I am trying to keep my personal nail polish collection away from having too many dupes, there is one shade that I will hoard- and that is soft cream peach shades

Today I would like to show you the very very VERY lovely piCture pOlish Peaches n’ Cream:

(this look is fully inspired by the talented Michelle from Michelle in Wonderland)

Hello Lovely Ladies,

This mid-week post is dedicated to a few swatches from my Amiga’s newest collection: Colores de Carol The Mother’s Day shades.  Carolina is a mommy of two handsome young men herself, and it is evident that a lot of thought and love was poured into this collection.

This collection has four lovely glitter shades -with sweet and sentimental names- perfect for any Mother, or as a special treat for yourself

* I wish to apologize that today’s post only includes swatches- no nailart- but I am just getting the feel of being back-in-school and simply ran out of time … Carolina, and these lovely shades deserve more… I just ran out of time *

Hello Lovely Ladies,

I have had this Cult Nails collection in my greedy little hands for a few weeks now and have been dyyyyying to show you these shades and my swatches.

I have to say, that as far as this collection goes, this is probably my favourite, and most cohesive, Cult Nails collection to date.  I will just let the shades do their own talking- they are honestly THAT pretty

Caution… picture heavy post …
