Nail craving: I’ve been in need of wee bit of sparkle as this polar vortex weather is beating me down.
How I satisfied that craving: New this year in the Revlon Nail Enamel Classic Collection is Rich; the glitter particles are small making it sparkle subtly. So it’s less preteen and more sophisticated.
How this nail polish makes me feel. Dub, rich. And gorgeous (and it reminded I have this little red book from Smythson to use!). The polish is actually very close to the Shellac Steel Gaze used in my shine-bright-like-a-diamond mani, except Rich has a touch more greeny-gold to it.
Love it or hate it: Love. I recently edited my nail polish collection and this earned a spot in my collection of 80 nail polishes. (Yes, 80).

Nail craving: With a break between gel manicures, I’ve been playing with the bottles I’ve got at home and with dreams of a beach getaway on my mind, I grabbed the Essie Resort 2014 collection (In the photo below, from left: Cocktails & Coconuts, Resort Fling, Find Me An Oasis, Under the Twilight).
How I satisfied that craving: With the nude Cocktails and Coconuts — how’s that for neutral? (I did try the peachy Resort Fling colour first, but it went on rather sheer and by the time I put on three coats, my application was rather thick and I ruined it when I went to bed before it had completely dried).
How this nail colour makes me feel: satisfied, zen feeling after a yoga class. I love my bold superhero manis and Comme des Garcons nails, but neutral can be nice.
Love it or hate it: Love.

Nail craving: With a Vinylux giftcard (thanks CND Vinylux!) expiring at the end of 2013, I trekked over to the spa at the Four Seasons Toronto to get a new colour just in time for New Year’s Eve. I wanted subtle sparkle — and one simple colour was fine after having gold leopard print nails for the past three weeks.
How I satisfied that craving: With Vinylux in Midnight Swim, a deep navy shade with tiny sparkles so it’s quite subdued in terms of its glitter factor. The photos I’ve take here aren’t doing it justice.
How this shade makes me feel: Ready to ring in what I expect to be a super duper year!
Love it or hate it: Love. And I love the Vinylux formula. It actually lasts longer than other nail polishes on my chip-prone digits.
