Bello! Me Want BANANAnanana!

Hello beautiful people!

Sorry, I've been away for so long. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much with my nails because of school/work requirements. But lately I've found the time to start working on my topolishornot jewellery again! Check back here and at my Etsy store often for updates on new pieces! 

For now I leave you with this amazing set my friend Anisha did! I can't wait till the minion movie comes out!

Thanks for stopping by,

NOPI ~ Be Awesome - Some awesome glitter placement looks bloggers have done!

The other day I was in Shoppers Drug Mart and stumbled upon this interesting NOPI glitter. Its called

Nicole by OPI ~ Be Awesome

This polish really is awesome. It has multicoloured diamond glitters in a clear base. I would have taken it home if it wasn't for the $10.99 price point.

Anyways, since I don't have a swatch to show you guys, I figured I'd highlight some amazing glitter placement designs that other bloggers have done using NOPI ~ Be Awesome. I've never done glitter placement myself, I don't think I have the patience!

These looks are all incredible! Click on the pictures to go check out their blogs and posts.

NOPI ~ On What Grounds?

Hello Everyone!

Today on the way home I stopped by Shoppers and found these interesting Limited Edition NOPI "Roughles" polishes. There were 4 spring textured colours. I decided to grab the teal: 

"NOPI ~ On What Grounds?"

I would have grabbed all 4 (yellow, pink, purple, teal) but they were $10.99 a pop =(

On What Grounds is a teal texture "Roughles"?? polish with darker teal and grey specks. It looks both bright and pastel depending on the lighting. 




The instructions tell you not to use a top coat. This is to allow the textured effect to show!

The finish starts of pretty rough, but as it wears it gets smoother. I would recommend not wearing delicate snagable fabrics while wearing these polishes.

So what do you think of it? I'm on the fence. I love the colour and I think it's definitely better than plain creme textured polishes, but I'm not sure if I'm sold. I asked my mom what she thought of it and she said it looks like concrete =( I think it somewhat resembles candy speckled eggs! 



I wore 2 coats of "On What Grounds" without a base coat and a week later it still looks perfect! It's just a bit sanded down and smoother now, but there were no chips and only slight tip wear which is expected.

I think I'd like to try a few of the other colours from this collection, if only they were cheaper! Well hopefully they go on sale lol...

Do you like this polish??

Can anyone tell me what "Roughles" means???
I get that it's a play on words of "rough" but "ruffles" still doesn't make sense to me for this polish... lol oh well

edit** I found a full display the other day so I snapped a pic. Here you can see the other colours =)

Nabi 3D ~ Navy Blue

Nabi Holograms might not be new or recent, but they are still gorgeous!! A cheap alternative to pricey holographic nail polishes, I got a bunch of Nabis last summer for around $2 a pop! Here is:

Nabi 3D-Rainbow Effect in Navy Blue













I find this colour in particular is more of a scattered holographic. The linear qualities don't show up as well in the dark colour. 
I love how bold the colour is though! A contrast to the bright colours of summer. I can't wait until summer...

Anyone else looking forward to summer???

Nails Inc. ~ Hammersmith

Today I have a gem to share with you. I got this polish on sale at Sephora for $7! It's nails inc. Hammersmith from the nails inc. Special Effects 3D Glitter collection. 

I love nails inc. polishes, but they tend to be quite pricey. Regular price for them here is about $11.50 for only 10ml. As a comparison, OPI is about $9 for 15ml, at salons. 

Anyyywayys, Hammersmith is a gorgeous combination of multisized teal and silver glitter. It's so sparkly that it's blinding in the light. I was very impressed with the polish. I already have Marylebone, the pink from this collection, which I used here. I also bought Maida Vale which I will show you in an upcoming post. 

So basically, if you love glitter and don't have this polish already, go and grab it before it's gone!
