Hello lovelies & happy Tuesday! A busy Tuesday at that! Even though January can sometimes be the worst month, this one is definitely turning out to be a crazy one for me.
So my nail art is tending to fall on the easy side of things. As you could probably tell from my previous post, I did a big chop on my nails. Not only do I like to start a new clean with a fresh canvas, I also started a second job working at a cafe as a barista, so I wanted to trim back my nails as I get used to that (after 2 years being away!)
But just because I have short nails doesn’t mean I can’t have cute nail art!
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
- Top Coat: Essence Colour Shield Top Coat (I ran out of my NailStuff one & need to make an order!)
- Essie Expressie Take The Espresso
- Essie Skirting the Issue
- Essie Sable Collar
- Londontown USA Opal
- Quo by Orly Black Striper
- NailStuff 4mm Micro Detail Brush

How cute are these short little stripe-y nails? The colours are also kind of dark & gloomy, great for these gloomy days. & I do love a dark nail. The combination of Essie Skirting the Issue over Expressie Take The Espresso makes for such a dark Ox blood red. I adore it.
What do you think of these moody stripes on my new shorties? Do you like these darker manicures? We’re a month away from Valentine’s Day, so I’ll have to start thinking up some designs for that now!
Have an amazing Tuesday.

Coffee & Nail Polish 
That’s a super lovely look on you! Sorry it’s been a hectic start to the month for you and one of your loves (nail art) is having to take a back seat (same here – BOO! I want some fun on my tips!!!). I hope the look you’re sporting today at least brings you a smile!
Hugs & blessings,

Thank you so much! Trying my best to still paint my nails, but sometimes you’re just too tired for full crazy nails. Definitely will need to do something extra fun, but I think Valentine’s Day will be the push I need! ❤️💖 Thank you always for your kind words.
