Hello, Reader!
Last week I tried a new polish from Renaissance Cosmetics I bought a couple months ago!
I decided to add a little nail art to it, without masking the polish itself.

52 Week Challenge - Pale Blue + Flowers
Hello!
Today's post is all about the 52 Week Challenge. I wanted to incorporate the two theme this week since they go so well together.
Earlier this week, I received my package from Renaissance Cosmetics from her last restock. I immediately wanted to wear all of them, but since it was impossible I decided to at least wear four of them. Yes. Four. They are in the blue family so they were perfect for my idea I had.
I haven't done a rose in a really long time so I thought it would be the perfect time to try again. Overall, even if it's been a long time I think they turned out pretty. I used Melancholia from RenCo for the flowers.

I started with a plastic bag base (polishes used were Reverie, Footprints in the Snow and Cursed). I was a little bit heavy-handed on the application so we can really see the difference between Cursed and Reverie. That's why I included a little bit more close-up.
Reverie is the lighter shade and Cursed is the darker shade. Can you see it?

You kinda can see Melancholia in the background. I love my new shades from Renaissance Cosmetics so much !! I'm pretty excited to try Sex, Death and Rock'n' Roll and Out of the Darkness!
Hope you loved the mani!
Happy polishing!

Nailmail Of the Week!
Hello, Reader!
This week has been rich in nailmail. I had to be on a no-buy for a few months (I know, nightmares come to life) and now that I am back in the game I went crazy and buy A LOT of new nail polishes. But that's okay, because I will use all of them soon. My mind is racing with ideas!!
Let's take a look, shall we?
My first package was from NailPolishCanada.com :
The picture is taken from my IG account. I got 2 Let It Shine Topcoat by Essie (they were half price, I think!), Resort Fling and Wicked also by Essie and Chillin' Like A Villain by OPI. They were giving a free gift with all orders, so I chose to take the detailed-brush for nail art! All others things pictured in the photo is free gift and samples: lollipops, nail file, self-tanning lotion and Gain sample. That's just how cool they are!
Second nail mail I got this week is from Renaissance Cosmetics! Let's see what I got:
I am so pleased with my order. These polishes looks so good in the bottles, I can't wait to see how they look on my nails! The mini is "Reverie" from her new collection. It will make me wait for her restock.. CAN'T WAIT.
Third package was from Beyond The Nail. I got this set, mainly because of Cristine at SimplyNailogical. She made a holo jelly skittle with these polishes and since then I was dreaming of recreating them. I took the opportunity to grab them before they were gone! The purple and the pink are waaaay more flashy in real life. I don't know why my camera don't want to capture the real color!
Lastly the fourth package was from a destash store on Storenvy. I bought four Colors By Llarowe. Two of them were on my wishlist for a while and the other two were too pretty to passed this opportunity.

Independence Day and Little Red Corvette were the ones on my wishlisht. Purple Pizzaz and Anna's Adventure are really pretty so I had no choice to take them. I swear. I'm weak, I know.
Well, that's all for the nailmail this week. I'm waiting for a gigantic order from Harlow and Co and a more modest one from Meimeisignatures next week. I'm already excited to receive the packages!
Happy polishing!

Try Those Untrieds! - Renaissance Cosmetics "Emerald Envy" Swatch
Hi, Reader!
Today I have a simple swatch for you!
It may be only a swatch but this polish is all but simple! I can guarantee you!
First of all, it's from Renaissance Cosmetics, an indie polish brand based in Toronto (which means near to me = fast shipping yeaaah!) The company is owned by one of my favorite nail artist in the community, Meghan of WillPaintNailsForFood.com.
I present you "Emerald Envy", an emerald (duuuh!) green with gold shimmer and tiny gold glitters. When I applied the first coat, I was pleasantly surprised by the opacity of the polish. I could have gotten away with only one coat, but I decided to play it safe and applied a second coat.
