I was invited to get Glam for TIFF at the beautiful Byblos Restaurant, right around the corner from the TIFF Bell Lightbox. The room was bustling with excitement as film buffs and social butterflies put on finishing touches before hitting celebrity central at the Toronto International Film Festival. With the wine flowing, jazz quietly playing and the lights dimmed, this was a perfect place to spend an exciting Saturday afternoon, finding out who saw who and what they were wearing.

Leheta, CND Education Ambassador and semi-finalist in this year’s Contessa Awards, invited me to sit down with my Prosecco and get comfortable for a little beauty treatment. She showed me the array of Vinylux nail polish colours that I could choose from, ranging from shimmering frozen pastels to surreal glacial hues. I explained that I’ve never had shellac before and she said I’m in for a treat – the polish will last at least two weeks. That sounds fabulous to me! I selected the Nordic Lights and Liliya advised me that it a transparent colour so I needed to select a base colour. She walked me through my choices and I finally picked Rock Royalty.

Liliya and I discussed everything from the Vegetarian Food Fest to celebrities at TIFF as she gave me a manicure.

I received an amazing gift bag filled with all these goodies. So far I’ve spritzed my hair with some ultra-conditioning Revlon Uniqone Coconut, which gives dry summer hair a vacation – makes it soft and silky and smells so lovely. It repairs dry and damaged hair, does frizz control and protects hair from heat.

My surprise gift bag also contained Vinylux® Weekly Polish which lasts a week. It dries in minutes and provides 7-day, chip-resistant wear.

I took home Vinylux in Nordic Lights, Winter Glow, Glacial Mist and Tundra, which will work gorgeously with my fall and holiday season wardrobe.

I look forward to changing my manicure often with these glistening shades in CND® VINYLUX® Weekly Polish.

Make sure your hair and nails look fab and wear something that turns the confidence way up. #TIFFstyletip #RevTheRedCarpet2015
