Hello lovelies & Happy Saturday! I know I don’t often post on Saturday, but today was a special exception with a special nail design!
I really wanted to recreate my wedding nails in honour of my wedding anniversary, especially as I’m rocking some serious shorties right now. So in honour of the occasion, here’s a brand new version of a very special design.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Strengthner
- Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Essie Speed Setter
- Essie You Do Blue!
- OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
- China Glaze Champagne Bubbles
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Good As Gold
- Essie Brides No Grooms
- Essie She’s Pampered
- Essie Into the A-Bliss
- Essie Willow in the Wind
- Essie Sew Psyched
- Essie Off Tropic
- NailStuff dotting tool
- NailStuff 7mm Liner Brush
For those curious, here are my original nails I painted for my wedding day, & my recreation I did in 2018.
I was absolutely obsessed with my original nails that I painted back in 2015 for my wedding day — it was really important to me to create a beautiful design I would love for years, & years to come. & again, when I recreated them I equally loved the design!
But you know what? I think I love them the most on short nails! Long nails look beautiful no matter what, but trying to recreate the exact same look on nails 1/2 the size really makes them pop! The only thing from my recreation I’m not 100% sold on is the much more yellow gold, but it definitely gives it a more colourful vibe. (& the right amount of sparkle! ✨)
What do you think about this anniversary look? Do you love a floral look as much as I do? I’d love to know if this design holds up all these years later. I certainly adore them as much as I did all those years ago & wouldn’t change a thing about the nails I had on my wedding day.
Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Firstly, CONGRATS on the milestone, no matter the number! In this day and age, I am always thrilled to celebrate with folks as they celebrate another Anniversary of sticking it out in the good and the bad, “forever or worse” as our vows. So CONGRATULATIONS to you two – you deserve it, to celebrate it, and to enjoy it!!!
Secondly – these nails are AWESOME! And to think you had such pretty digits on your wedding day just delights my heart!!!! (My own were non-fancy french manicure’d). This is PERFECT! Thank you so much for sharing!
May the good Lord bless you two with many more happy years to come!
