Bourjois So Perfect base coat - anti-yellowing base coat that works! 'nuf said (lol) Available at Shoppers Drugmart - boutique
Formula X for Sephora - love the variety that this line offers. Choose from Metallic to glittery to sparkly to Neutrals - you name it they have it! My personal fave is Love Chemistry (exact dupe is by Maybelline Brocades) (CA $13)
Nails Inc Gel effects - love that you don't need to buy a kit to get the gel effect on your nails. This applied very opaquely after 2 coats. Super shiny and there were no visible brush strokes at all. Lasted for more than a week with very minor wear. My picks are "Kensington High Street" and "Porchester square". Sucks that they only have 4 colours... (CA $17)
Revlon Parfumerie - lets just talk about the packaging on these for one second... The bottle is pretty and its good enough to display on your vanity. Unfortunately, these are limited edition (but these are still available on some drug stores last I checked a couple days ago). These are scented nail polishes - and I know it sounds very gimmicky but I bought them to test them out. Whats kind of neat was you need to wait for the polish to dry, and then you will smell the scent (depending on which colour you get) -some lasted for more than a day! Lots of colours to choose from as well :)
Deborah Lippmann - this is a brand that does glitter nail polish right. Its super sparkly and pretty and does not feel gritty whatsoever. Definitely worth the price, and I highly recommend it! My absolute favourite is called "Glitter and be gay" (CA $22)
Maybelline Brocades - now if Deborah Lippmann is not in your budget, Maybelline is your friend. The Brocades nailpolish are limited edition(unfortunately) so be sure to check them out. The effect is super sparkly and glittery. A shade which is my most favourites is called "Gilded Gold" which is an exact dupe of Formlu X for Sephora called "Love Chemistry" (CA $6)
