Bath & Body Works Peach Bellini Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap Review & Pictures

Bath-Body-Works-Peach-Bellini-Anti-Bacterial-Deep-Cleansing-Hand-Soap-Review-Pictures smallerI hadn’t heard much of the Bath & Body Works Peach Bellini Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap, but I gave it a try because a quick sniff in the store made me fall for it.

And I only came to love it more when I used it at home. This soap smells like a delicious drink! I couldn’t get over how yummy this smells!

Every single time I washed my hands with this, I wished that I could have a refreshing beverage that tasted as good as this smelled!

I’m not usually the biggest peach-scent lover, but because this is mixed with apricot and mango, I think it smells incredible.

This is a soap that’s worth checking out if you like fruity and/or cocktail-scented soaps!

Zoya Frida Swatches & Review

Zoya-Frida-Swatches-ReviewMaybe it was all the peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches that I used to eat as a kid, but I have a mild obsession with jelly nail polishes. They have depth and are sooo shiny!

So when I heard about Zoya Frida from the NYFW 2012 Collection, I was really excited to see how it would translate onto the nail.

Although I wanted to love it, I only like it. Why? Read on to find out!

P.S. Every time I went to type “Frida”, I kept typing “Friday”. Shows you where my mind is…

China Glaze Want My Bawdy Swatches & Review

China-Glaze-Want-My-Bawdy-Swatches-ReviewHave you been feeling blue lately? China Glaze Want My Bawdy from the New Bohemian Collection has, but it wouldn’t be any other way!

This blue nail polish surprised me because I thought it was going to be a duochrome, however, the finish was a straight-up chrome.

Nevertheless, this one is gorgeous, and I loved the rich contrast.

It looks magnificent especially in sunlight, although I didn’t have my camera handy when Mr. Sun decided to say hello. Still, you can see some of the magic in my photos with the camera’s flash.

And…what a cheeky name this polish has. It’s trying to use its nail-polish wiles to lure us in! 😉

Zoya Elisa Swatches & Review

Zoya-Elisa-Swatches-ReviewOkay, if you know me well, you know that I tend not to jump up and down over red nail polish. Normally I’m lying down, yawning, and dreaming of David Beckham…or more recently, Colin Farrell! 😉

(Oh my, I just saw Total Recall on Sunday night, and when he was shirtless, my eyes got bigger! Don’t know why I never paid attention to him until now…Maybe I need a new prescription for my glasses.)

However, there are the rare days when I feel ‘the itch’ to sport a classic red. And then there are some that actually get my attention because they stand apart from the generic sea of reds.

Zoya Elisa is a red that not only got my attention, but  also made me admire my nails throughout the day like a vain polish peacock!

Zoya Natty Swatches & Review

Zoya-Natty-Swatches-ReviewEven though I love sparkly and shimmery blues, my heart always seems to skip a beat when I come across dusty blues. Maybe it’s because I don’t have too many in my collection.

(The first time I realized I loved dusty blues was when I tried Sally Hansen’s Gray by Gray, but that shade’s much lighter and more grey than Zoya Natty.)

Zoya Natty is a gorgeous dusty blue nail polish from the Designer Collection, which is a subset of the Zoya NYFW 2012 Collection.

This lacquer is really sexy to me because it’s different than what I usually wear, and although it’s just a simple creme finish, I can’t think of any colour I have that’s a dupe for it.

P.S. Hope that my fellow Canadians are enjoying the long weekend! 🙂

China Glaze Unpredictable Swatches & Review

China-Glaze-Unpredictable-Swatches-ReviewLots of nailphiles eagerly anticipated the China Glaze New Bohemian Collection, and I wasn’t an exception.

Despite its name, China Glaze Unpredictable is a very predictable colour for me to wear because I’m a greeeeen fieeeend!

This one’s glowy and flashy – two nail-polish characteristics I swoon over.

Whether you admire it in direct sunlight, under the flash of a camera, or in dim natural light, this is the type of lacquer that always seems to steal the show!

Nail Art: Owl Nails

Owl Nails Nail Art PicturesYou’ll remember that not long ago, I bought the brand new Bundle Monster image plate set. The two owl designs made it a must-have for me.

To make China Glaze Elephant Walk more my style, I turned them into Owl Nails with the help of Bundle Monster Image Plate BM-309.

After these cuties were on my nails, I fell in love with the manicure. And I appreciated the grey as the base colour.

I painted the tips of my nails black with China Glaze Liquid Leather so that the owls would have something to stand on.

If you look really closely at the cute owl on my middle finger, you’ll see that he’s a bit of a show-off. While all the others have their feet on the ground, he’s balancing himself on just one leg! 😉 What an attention-seeker!

Hehe, I also like how the owls look like they’re either wearing monocles or they have shiners!
