Nail Polish Collection...

After decluttering here's what I ended up keeping...

What I consider to by my Holy Grails...will continue to repurchase (except the Chanel May)

Opi Big Apple Red (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Limited Addiction (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Mademoiselle (I use this for hands only)

Essie Cute as a Button (I use this for feet only)

I'm drawn to pinks for the cheerfulness and prefer reds when I want to feel sexy and sassy. My go to colors are Essie Cute as a button and Essie Limited Addiction.
I love a baby pink for everyday, but have yet to find the Holy Grail. Opaque but still light enough to not look milky.

Spa Ritual Cuticle Quench

Spa Ritual Nutri-Thick Calcium Nail Builder (old label)

Spa Ritual Fluent Lacquer Remover (old label)

Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock Basecoat (found this recently at Winners)

Product Highlight: Spa Ritual
Had the opportunity to use this line during school and love the philosophy behind the line. Color range is huge and each has a meaning.

From their site;
"Our nail lacquers and nail care essentials are vegan and formulated without DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin."

Spa Day...Tranquility Organic Spa

Recently I tried a spa that offered organic treatments...

Soaking in the Lavender Milk...

My Verdict: On the fence... I had googled natural products/organic spas and found Tranquility Organic Spa. I called in the day of and was able to book a manicure and pedicure. The ladies were super nice, however the treatment itself was questionable. The exfoliant created in house was wonderful, as well as the lavender milk soak. I do have complaints about colour application, I left with bubbles and patchy areas. There was a language barrier so it took forever to explain a square with rounded edges nail shape. It was 2 hours and I was hungry by then, so staying longer to get a better colour application was out of the question(not to mention the expensive Yaletown parking). Also within the day I already had chipping, as she didn't cap the nail. The shoulder massage at the end while under the dryer was a nice touch and I do love the products, but I guess it's a hit or miss who you book. I would try again, but will need to find another aesthetician or nail tech with better application.
