SWATCH REVIEW: CHINA GLAZE TEXTURE
We’ve seen a couple different textures polishes over the last 6 months or so & were curious how China Glaze’s Texture polish would hold up in comparison. China Glaze’s formula is definitely different from the others – having a more fine sandy texture in comparison to a sparkle grit. China Glaze Texture polishes have a … Continue reading
SHOPPERS DRUG MART: NAIL THE LOOK
A few months back we were approached by Glow Magazine & Shoppers Drug Mart to create 2 looks for their upcoming campaign – Nail The Look! We had such a blast on set playing around with all the new polishes & tools. We couldn’t wait to share with you the real-deal after our Instagram teasers. … Continue reading
NAIL ART TUTORIAL: PSHIIIT X BOURJOIS
When we first launched PolishYouPretty, almost 2 years ago now, we stumbled across the amazing website Pshiiit. Although we couldn’t understand what she was saying (thank-you Google Translate!) we were so in love with her pictures. Such amazing use of light & we loved the incorporation of rings & jewellery. We have had the opportunity to … Continue reading
SWATCH REVIEW: ESSIE SUMMER 2013
We received the Essie Summer 2013 collection all the way back in March. It was so bright & shimmery – 6 shades that we’ve never seen paired together in a Summer collection before.

#ALMAYPRETTY
When we were little we used to get into our mothers makeup bags and sure enough, she’d always have it filled with Almay products.

Since then we’ve always associated Almay with a more… mature feel, … Continue reading
BANK BREAKER {OR} MONEY SAVER: SUNNY DISPOSITION
We often find that we are able to reuse past summer shades – brights are always in! If you are a true nail polish addict then you’ll remember this yellow Chanel shade that swept the polish nation in the Summer of 2011. It was extremely hard to get your hands on a bottle of this stuff, not … Continue reading
NAIL ART TUTORIAL: TEQUILA SUNRISE
We are ENORMOUS fans of the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes. The brush fits our nail beds perfectly, needing only one stroke for the entire nail (ideal!). Also, the unique precision brush feels layered, distributing more polish onto the nail for better coverage. There are 2 new collection popping up – Sorbet Soiree & … Continue reading
NAIL ART TUTORIAL: BRIGHT TRIANGLES
We’ve reached our last day of Julep Week – what a fun time! We have so many great summer shades & it’s such a shame to box them up for the colder months. We love trying tutorials that incorporate these shades so we can use them into the Fall/Winter months. Step 1: After applying a … Continue reading
NAIL ART TUTORIAL: PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
The tropical theme continues… We are big fans of fruit nail art designs (See here & here), so we had to give some love to our favourite tropical juicy fruit – the pineapple! We’ve had this idea on the backburner for some time & Hawaii was the final straw to create a tutorial. Ps. Step … Continue reading
