Crackle & Vintage Roses 🌹

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! It’s a beautiful warm –albeit foggy — start to my Friday, but I’ve been enjoying the very Spring like weather so far. Finally, I’m able to break out all my favourite Spring dresses that have been waiting in the closet for me all Winter. Today, though, I have another floral design to share with you.

Maybe I should change the name of this blog to Coffee, Nail Polish & Floral?

I did do a little mini-vote on my Instagram to see what people wanted to see for my next blog post, & roses were the clear winner! I will say, when I wore this design I got so many compliments about them — including from a male cashier when I went to buy a slushy one night — so they definitely have been a favourite design I’ve recently worn.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Matte Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Matte Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Heather Hustle
  • Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat Snow Blast
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Berry Fancy
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Racing Rose
  • Sally Hansen Good. Kind. Pure.  Eco-Rose
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri SCRAM!
  • Sally Hansen I ❤️ Nail Art Pen in Green
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Me, My Elf, & I
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio
    Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

This design was definitely one of those take took a while but the end result just ends up being totally worth it! I started with a base of crackle over my pale purple because I wanted to give the effect of almost a lace background, then I added my vintage roses overtop. & the end result just looks so pretty, & a bit romantic. I love it!

Hopefully you’re not getting tired of floral, because I’m definitely not going to be tired of it anytime soon — & I do have another floral coming up on my recently broken nails. But I also plan on sharing some non-floral nail designs as well, don’t worry!

What do you think about this crackle & vintage roses design? Are you a fan of this overall look? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below, & share what kind of designs you’d like to see coming up soon!

Happy Friday!
