We were invited to an event, that could called a nail polish and nail art lover’s dream event! Shoppers Drug Mart invited us to an exclusive preview of the Quo by ORLY fall collection, which featured special guests ORLY founder, Jeff Pink and celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees. And. It. Was. FABULOUS!

We sat attentively as Jeff Pink gave us the juice on ORLY’s new at-home Gel Nail Colours and tools, as well as introduced us to the new Quo by ORLY Smart Gels LED Lamp- the newest way to achieve a professional gel manicure without having to leave the comfort of your home! It’ll be available in mid August at Shoppers Drug Mart, and will retail at $85. Then Kimmie Kyees told us all about she started doing manicures as a little girl for her family and friends, to becoming one of the most sought out celebrity manicurists in Hollywood.

After the presentations were over, we were free to mix and mingle, sip cocktails, snack on tasty hors d’oeuvres, and we even got to get our nails by the amazing manicurists of Pinky’s nails. The best part though? We were given an empty paint tin can, and told to fill it up, then we were given an LED lamp, that we could get customized! It was awesome-sauce!

Where does one start when there’s so much goodness to get into?!

It was a beautiful sunny day, and the view was EVERYTHING!!

There was just so much nail polish I couldn’t contain myself.
