It's Swatchtastic;; OPI Black Cherry Chutney! ♥♥

Hey all!

At school the other day my friend showed me this gorgeous colour, and I just had to try it on for size! It's definitely one I need to add to my repertoire. Something about almost-but-not-quite black colours are just so  sexy! Check this baby out...

Natural Lighting

There are more than a few colours like this out there, and I definitely wouldn't be against owning them all. It's one of those ones that people take a second glance at- "Oh, black nail polish. HEYWAITAMINUTEIT'SPURPLE!"
 So much fun!

It's Swatchtastic;; Revlon Brilliant Strength in Beguile ♥♥

Hey everyone!

So my roommate is quite obsessed with all things blue, and when asked what colour I should do my nails last time I was changing, she broke out this polish... I just had to show you guys, it's gorgeous!! Take a look...


Natural Lighting

This is only one of the many faces of this polish. Under every different light, every new scene in your day, you've got a beautiful new hue to distract yourself with.

It's Swatchtastic- China Glaze Angel Wings! ♥♥

Hey guys!

Today I'm coming to you with a gorgeous glitter polish from China Glaze's holiday collection.

May I present, Angel Wings!

(Taken with flash)

This gorgeous shimmer explosion of a nail polish had a ridiculous wear time, and was constantly changing colour with the lighting. It had me staring at my nails all week long.

NOTD;; Play With Your Polish! ♥♥

Hey guys!

The other day I decided that since I loved the technique I used in my 2 minute marble video so much, I wanted to play around with it some more!

If you haven't seen the video already, you can watch it here:


Since I did dark reddy golds the first time, I decided to go opposite and mess around with silvery blues! 
I tried out a few different colour combinations to see what would happen. These are my test results:

It's Swatchtastic! Revlon's Brilliant Strength in Hypnotize! ♥♥

Hey guys!

Today I've got swatches of an amazing polish I picked up from Revlon's new Brilliant Strength collection. Check out this colour!!


It's called Hypnotize, and rightly so. This beautiful, yellowy antique gold has an amazing effect on the nails, and glides on like a dream!

Killer Combo NOTD ♥♥

Hey guys!

So recently I got a big haul of goodies from ELF, including 8 brand spanking new nail polishes (click here if you wanna check out my haul blog!) including one named Fairy Dust. Upon seeing this polish on the website, I fell in love, and it was the first one in my cart. When I got them, while I was playing around and swatching, I thought of this combination, and when I tried it out I kinda died.

LOOK HOW PRETTY

Slight wear and tear on this shot, I'd worn this to work already, but you get the point!

It's a combination of ELF's Fairy dust layered over top of Maybelline Color Show's Twilight Rays.


It's surprising the amount of orange and gold that shows through from the Fairy Dust, definitely not what I expected by looking at the bottle, but gorgeous nonetheless.

How do you like this look? Let me know in the comments if you try it out!

Until next time, stay polished!

Much love,
Dylan ♥♥

ELF Megahaul! ♥♥

Hey guys!

So if you're an ELF Cosmetics lover like I am, you may know that they recently had a promotion where you spend $20.00 and get 8 free nails polishes.

8. FREE. NAIL POLISHES.

Within ten minutes of seeing this, my order was placed.

I was also surprised, it only took them a week to get my order shipped to Canada! I was very pleased.
Check out what I got!


Whoa, whoa, I know. Tons of stuff, right? Can you imagine that I got all this (plus a face powder and blush for my mom) for $36 shipping included?!?! Half of this is worth that much. Click on for a more in depth look at everything...

It's Swatchtastic! First Impressions: Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer! ♥♥

Hey there!

A while back I bought my first two nail polishes from Maybelline's Color Show line. I got them at a fantastic price of $2.97! For the price I wasn't expecting very much, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got around to trying them out! Here they are...



I got two different finishes to see how they would each apply, so I could get a better feel for the line.
