Nail Polish Canada OPI Venice Collection Nail Mail Haul

So, yeah. I spent a small fortune this month on polish collections from Nail Polish Canada.  One that I was the most excited about was the full OPI Venice collection.  Just like record albums from music artists, it’s rare to get a full album, or collection in this case, where you love all of them. But this whole collection made me silly for every single color!!

There is not ONE color I don’t truly LOVE! Yes, seriously they’re that good. And I’m not the only one who thinks so: OPI will actually be adding the entire collection to their CORE line. So yeah – awesomeness level of like a million.

My first test swatch using Purple Palazzo Pants I didn’t actually get a pic of  ( *facepalm* ), but I loved it so much that I actually kept it for 4 whole days, and yes – the polish lasted that long without chipping!

This time around I tried out the Be There In A Prosecco – a gorgeous warm creamy opaque nude.  I am still a newbie at polishing, so it took me to the third coat to get it on non-streaky and even. But the results I just loved.  I stamped over them with MPolish Elizabethan using MoYou London  Sailor 07‬ & Sailor03 plates, topped with a Seche Vite top coat and finished with a luscious ‪#slather of Vanilla‬ cuticle oil‬ from Cuter Cuticles.

Now, keep in mind that I am still new to polishing & stamping, so I know my swatches aren’t perfect, but I am super grateful for your time reading my post & hope that you will comment & follow my nail adventures. ❤

UberChic Beauty Nail Art Tabletop Mat

UberChic beauty has made a name for themselves in the nail art stamping industry as an indie nail stamping plates.  But now, they have gone beyond their awesome plates and have revolutionized the nail art & nail stamping industry with their new nail art stamping mat.

As a nail stamper myself, I know that my tabletop is left with a disaster zone of crumpled papertowels, cotton pads acetone & polish soaked and even small puddles of polish from decal creation…  The mat is acetone & polish proof, which means that your table won’t be left in a total mess after creating your awesome manicures.

Here’s the best part: you can use it for more than just surface protection form polish stains & remover scuffs!

Check out what else you can do with this mat:

1. Easily test out color combos on your mat
2. Protect your table from stains and spills
3. Simple Cleanup: Acetone and Nail Polish Remover proof
4. Create easy peasy stamping decals
5. Reverse stamp like a boss
6. Super flexible for easy cleanup and storage
7. Makes you feel 20% more chic
8. We just put this in here because we know we haven’t covered everything you can do with this…

This is such an awesome little tool, that everyone needs it.  And it shows – it sold out in less than 5 days after being posted for sale!

Here is UberChic’s video on how the mat works – get ready to squee with delight!!

Pueen Love Elements & Essie Nail Stamping

Being the weekend I had some time to try something new with my new Pueen Love Elements nail stamping plates collection that I just received from Nail Polish Canada. I love how quickly they ship!! I live in Vancouver & got my order 48hrs after I placed my order! And shipping anywhere in Canada is free with orders over $25. Super awesomesauce.

For this manicure I used Essie Good As Gold over a prime coat of Essie base. Stamped with Pueen Love Elements plate #46 in Konad black special polish and topped it off with a clear coat.

I am still very new to nail art & manicures so be gentle 😜
