I got to go shoppingggggg! At my first pro stooooore! And it was AWESOME! 

One of the things I have been looking forward to the most around nail school is that when I'm done I'll be able to get pro discounts and go to pro warehouses to get my stuff! So imagine my joy when a few classmates said we should make a trek out before we even graduated... Lemme tell you, I was SO EXCITED! 

When I get my certification I can get a permanent account set up, but until then as long as I have my student ID (and a ride way out to Mississauga) I can go whenever I want! There are of course other beauty supply places in the GTA I could visit, but for whatever reason this is the one I've decided will be my base of operations. :) 

So here's a look at my first haul! I'm not going to tell you how much I spent, because... I spent a fair amount of cash. Haha. It's an investment! 

A quick and lovely swatch for you today! We're looking at Zoya Faye which was originally released as part of the Sunshine Collection in Summer 2011. :) This is one I picked up pretty recently and I'm so glad I did - look at that gold shimmer! Drool!

Hello! It is final exam time at nail school right now so I'm a day behind, but don't worry - I will definitely finish the DD challenge this month! :)

Today I'm sharing a recreation of a look I really loved but that never got a full feature on my blog. That's because it was a guest post I did for another blogger. So now that I got a chance to recreate it I can finally fully share it with you over here, too.

How about another seasonal mani for this month's next DD look? :) This time I'm recreating an artsy leaf pattern that I originally did in 2014!

Day 2 of our DD Throwback week! Today we're recreating a fun Fall look that I did back in 2013 using one of the lesser-loved polish types... Crackle!

This month the Digit-al Dozen is doing a Throwback Week! I've decided to do recreations of manicures I did during my first 5 years of blogging, one for each year. :) I'm starting in 2012 and this is actually a recreation of the VERY FIRST nail art look I shared on this blog! Whaaaat!

Check below for a look at the original mani from 2012, and then take a better look at my 2017 recreation!

Hello loves! Today I'm sharing a nail art look and tutorial that I actually shared over on my instagram a while ago. :) It was my first attempt at doing a video tutorial on IG and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. So take some looks at the mani I put together, and then watch the vid to see how I did it!

Oh my gosh this post has been a long time coming. I'm sorry, guys! There were so many posts to write up after Indie Expo Canada this year that this one completely slipped my mind. But we're here now, so let's take a look at all the goodies I got in my VIP Bag at Indie Expo Canada.

The VIP ticket itself was about $88 CAD after tax and it included this goodie bag, early entry to the event, and some coupons! Definitely worth it, in my opinion.

Let's start with the polish!

Hello lovelies! It feels like a pink kinda day, so a pink polish is what we are going to look at! :) You know those days when it just feels like you need to wear a certain colour to match your mood and your activities for the day? No? It's just me? Haha. WELL THEN.
