I stumbled upon the Revlon Nail Section in London Drug one day and found the scented nail polishes so interesting. Among 8-10 different scents, i picked “NOT SO BLUEBERRY” because of my purple addiction! LOL”

I couldn’t stop sniffing my nails after wearing those nails.

I felt my nails got BLUEBERRY DIP! hahaaaa

Availability: London Drug/ Shopper Drug Mart

To make your nails or toenails look great is not only about what color of nail polishes you put on, but also HOW YOU TAKE CARE of your nails/ toenails. Here, I am going to introduce two great cuticle moisturizers.

here is my ugly toenails with wrinkles and dry tissues . =(

I found it treatable when first hearing of cuticle moisturizers.

I tried the OPI one first, it’s great!

It hydrates those dry tissues or so-called cuticles, which makes my toenails look “younger” and “healthier”. I almost put it on every single day. Yet over time, I found it expensive because the OPI is running out within 2 months. ($ 8.99 CAD for 0.25oz)

So, I tried the Beauty Secret one. Same result with much lower price.  ($6.99 USD for 2.50oz). The product smells so good too. like almond flavor. Also, it has two functions: moisturizing your cuticles and drying your nail polish faster than air drying. wowo… I think it is really worthy. =D

Have you heard about Fimo Sticks?

Fimo Sticks are for nail decoration, just like glitters.

Fimo Sticks have been so popular over a year in Hong Kong.

But in Vancouver, we always found diffculty in buying those trendy sticks.

People mostly get them via eBay, yet the shipping fee reli costs a lot.

It will be a good news if you live in Vancouver, Richmond, or Burnaby.

I just found that some ppl are selling this on facebook.

I found this line when went shopping in London Drug last week!

Yet, no much colors left over there.

Then, I went to Shopper Drug Marts and found that there are at least 25 different colors of this line selling.

Some are very eye-catching, esp. “yellow kitty”!!!

I ended up buying “370 Commander In Chic”!! It’s still nice enough!

Here is 2 limited-edition nail color polishes!

There are totally 8 limited-edition shades in Sally Hanses Complete Salon Manicure!

3Small Special Polishes - 5ml (Red, White, Blue), 2Image Plates (M2, M3), 1Scraper, 1Stamp

A friend of mine recommended this product to me after she traveled to Indonesia. (to clarify, Konad is from Korea)

Once bought it, I loves Stamping Nail Art so much coz it saves me lots of time designing.

Just apply special nail polishes, SCRAPE and STAMP! DONE!! A piece of cake! =D

They have plenty of different and cute nail plates you can choose from! Each nail plate has 7 images!

(To take a look of nail plates, go on www.konadnail.com, search PRODUCT >> Individual items for KONAD Stamping nail art)

If you wanna give it a try, I sugguest u to buy a set as shown on the left side. It is way more cheaper compare to buying each of them individually.

If you live in Vancouver, BC Canada, you can find Konad products in Metrotown, Burnaby. It is a pop up store, located in the ground floor, facing Naturalizer Shoes store, and behind an escalator down to the parking garage. (Richmond Center used to have one, unfortunately, it is closed down for some reasons =[ )

If you live in Hong Kong, what I know so far is that you can buy Konad products somewhere in 大埔.

( I would appreciate it if someone can provide more information about it! =D )
