New nail polishes again!!

Essie Spring Collection 2011! I bought the mini set again (for about 20$ CAD) which includes 4 colours that I love!
Topless & Barefoot and Coat Azure.
Nice is Nice and French Affair.
To be honest, I've never been a fan of Essie. I find their formula so so...but their colours are just lovely! The first one I tried is a creme baby purple colour. It is definitely my type of colour, so I love it!! This is 3 coats.
I am so excited!! It's been "a while" I haven't gotten myself nail polishes.. there are so many for me to try on now!! Nails Inc.. Bourjois.. OPI Katy Perry.. and now Essie Spring Collection!!
This is it for now! Next post: Essie Coat Azure!

French Nail Art

Hello everyone!

A few weeks ago, I told you that Bourjois products could not be found in Montreal. It turns out I am wrong. You can buy Bourjois cosmetic products and a few nail polishes here, but only in one drugstore. There are Pharmaprix everywhere, but only one (or really few ones) carries this brand's products.

Since my l'Oreal french manucure nail polish has become thick and bad, I had to buy a new one and decided to try Bourjois's. The bottle doesn't look like the one my friend got me from England and the brush is a thick one.
I used Bourjois French Manucure on my tip and added a coat of PA pink shimmer so my nails look nicer. (They are more pink in real life d= ) It's been a while I haven't done this classic french mani on my nails. I used to (and I still do!!) love it so much! Simple amd elegant, isn't it?

Some change on my Orly manicure..

Since I was not very satisfied with the colour application on my nails, I decided to add a stampling to hide the imperfections. I have done this design before already, but I just like it! Does it look nicer?

Finally, I went to that open house thingy at Spa Oasis for a skin test. I brought a friend and my mom, and we all found that there was nothing impressive. The esthetician or skin specialist had a machine to look at our skin..but everything she told us was so o-b-v-i-o-u-s! I mean, I don't need anyone to tell me that eating too oily isn't good for me! And she doesn't point out anything more than what we said already. I know I have blackheads on my nose.. I mean, I told you that! What really bothered me was that lady, who kept pushing my mom to buy this and that. It was a new brand to us, so I'm sorry, I'm not willing to try all 10 products suggested to me, especially when they all cost near 100$! I would not even buy all of them even if it's my favorite brand! Another thing that I really hate is when people have to say how other brands are bad to show how good their products are. Estee Lauder is not good for anti-aging products? Shiseido is not of quality? Yeah right! Ok, I must say not everyone was like that..The majority of women there were actually very nice.. but that lady is enough for me to say NO for a next time!

Rescue Beauty Lounge Diddy Mow

Hey readers,

Here's another quick update. I wore RBL Diddy Mow all of last week, and absolutely loved it!

Army green creme- reminds me of camouflage! Application was easy and smooth, as with most Rescue Beauty polishes. All in all, I really liked this one! Will definitely be wearing it again!

Manicure @Spa Oasis

As I mentioned, I really couldn't stand those dead skin anymore.. so I went for a manicure to rescue my dehydrated hands!

Spa Oasis is very small when you look from the outside. But as soon as you put your feet in the store, you see it is a place for spa!! Very nice and comfortable place.. and they have 2 floors! The owner took my jacket and gave me shoes to change..almost like a high-end spa! My boyfriend came with me because we planned to go dinner right after. He came to the room for mani and pedi with us and there were nice sofa and TV for him.

The colour I picked was a sky blue from Orly. I remember the name was Rose-Coloured Glasses, but after I googled it.. isn't it a pink colour?? Anyway, I have to say that I was disappointed because application was not very impressive..I noticed that the lady didn't paint my whole nailS! I have to emphasize nailS because it is on almost every nail!! In my pictures, they are not very visible, but trust me, in real life, you do see them!! Seriously, how can this happen at a professional salon?

Nevertheless, there is still something worth recommending. The manicure was not THAT bad because she spent over an hour to remove all my bad cuticles! Usually, you soak your hands in water once..but I did 3 times yesterday! The person really took her time and I greatly appreciated that (I came mainly for this right?). She was also very friendly and sociable. As I was the last customer, she gave me a mini tour of the place and I was really amazed by what I saw behind those black doors! She also told me they have an open house this Thursday, and of course I signed up for it =) Hopefully, I will be able to take some pictures of the place and show to you all!

Lunch @ Chez Cora

Chez Cora is a very famous restaurants for breakfast in Montreal. Near the area where I live, there are two of them =) I don't know why it took me so long to try it... Plates are beautiful, ingredients are fresh and of big portion, inside the restaurants are filled of colourful decorations and you see a lot of names of those famous plates they serve. Here are some recent pictures of food from the lunch menu. The lunch set includes a coffee (and the staff keeps filling your cup!!) and a soup.

This is what my boyfriend ordered: chili wrapped in a crepe, topped with cheddar cheese, served with a bread and salad.


This is the delicious plat I had: chicken cassoulet with asparagus, potatoes, caramelized onions, served with bechamel sauce and mozarella cheese. DELICIOUS!

I highly recommend!!
