We first caught onto the watercolour manicure after seeing it at Toronto's Spring Fashion Week 2012 at the Lucian Matis show. For some bizarre reason though, we never thought to try them out. We thought it would be too difficult to achieve the same runway look. But then we thought, 'nah! We're an adventurous bunch here at ChickAdvisor'. So we sat down and played...

At ChickAdvisor HQ, we’re just a wee bit obsessed with nails, nail polish, nail art, nail everything… Yeah, we know – shocker.

Revlon knows a thing or two about nails (confession time: I own more shades of Revlon nail enamels than I’d care to openly confess), so I was excited to hear about the new addition to their Crazy Shine™ Nail Buffer family.

Haven’t heard of the Crazy...

We're big fans of the nail sticker trend at ChickAdvisor. We love how easy they are to apply and how you can achieve gorgeous prints in just minutes. We've even used them to bling out a French mani! Of course, the downside to nail stickers is that you're limited to whatever designs are sold. 

Well, not anymore! We came across this post on DIY nail stickers and we knew we had to...

A while back, we posted a few photos of a sushi manicure hot off the runway and we could all pretty much agree that it wasn't for us. The newest craze in nail art, while not being sushi is certainly close to it. It's called the caviar manicure; so named for the little beads on the nail that imitate the look of caviar. 

For warning, while this look is kind of kooky-fun, it...

As many of you already know, I make it a point in my life to make sure everyone around me is getting enough glitter in their lives. Which, brings me to this week's nail tutorial. Lorna loves a bit of bling, but she's also very minimalist and basic in her beauty and clothing choices. So, while we wanted to test out these sparkled out nail stickers on Lorna, we also wanted to find a way to...

Jellybean Coloured Nails Pose-off
It's pretty hard writing about all of the gorgeous spring makeup this year without trying some of it on.  Especially nail polish.  It's remarkable how two coats of the right colour can totally make you look pulled together when you really aren't, wouldn't you agree? 

We tried on a selection of this spring's colours that remind us of jellybeans.  There was...

Last week we gave you an easy DIY for a homemade toner. Hopefully you've been loving the toner and the glowing skin you're getting from it! The recipe makes enough for a small bottle with a little leftover, so if you're looking for an easy way to use up what's left, why not try a scrub? 

This scrub is wonderful for your face, but I also suggest using it on your hands for...

When our fave 'It' gal and resident stylish lady, Zooey Deschanel rolled up to the Golden Globes wearing a lime green and black embellished gown, we weren't overly enthused, but her cute 'do, makeup and killer mani won us over. 


Zooey had the perfect tuxedo nail art to match the retro and quirky feel of the rest of her outfit. We thought this mani was way too cute so...
