X-pattern Accent Nails 

Hellos loves! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend. 

Sharing some more bright and colourful nails with you today! I’m all about the neon right now! It’s all my craving on my nails. It’s also giving me a chance to pull out more my MyNailsDid Nail Vinyls!  I’m back to being a wee bit nail vinyls obsessed… Again. Once we move I need to make a big order!

   

The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Color Club Pucci-licious
  • China Glaze Purple Panic
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI
  • Essence Lets Get Lost
  • OPI Life Gave Me Lemons
  •  Essie Gel Setter 
  • MyNailsDid X-pattern vinyls. 

Are you a fan of nails vinyls? Which ones are you obsessed with right now? Obviously chevrons have my heart, but you have no idea how much I want to get my hands on some of those kitty nail vinyls that I keep seeing around! They’re so amazing!

Freehand Tribal Accent Nails. 

I’ve been slacking on the blog front thanks to work stress and an impending move. No time to sit down and concentrate on blogging. Hopefully I’ll have more time soon, but in the mean time I thought I’d share some tribal. 

I love tribal/Aztec print… I might even almost love it more than floral. It’s been a while since I shared a tribal print mani, so I knew I needed to do some! I adore how these turned out. 

  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI Gelato on my Mind
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • Essie In the Cab-Ana
  • China Glaze Plur-ple
  • Essence Back in Black 
  • Essie Gel Setter 
  • Circle stickers from Dollarama
  • Born Pretty Store small detail nail art brush. 

   

Finally weather in Halifax is getting warm and Spring like! I can finally break out the Spring dresses… Even if I still need some tights for the mornings. Makes me excited for warm summer days and pretty bright nail polishes!

Moroccan Tile Accent nails inspired by @PolishPeach

Today I have another manicure inspired by one of the amazing nail artists on Instagram! This time, I took inspiration from @polishpeach and the stunning Moroccan Tile manicure she did a couple weeks ago (she also has a tutorial on her page for anyone who also wants to recreate it!)

  
First off, how cute is my new reusable Valentine’s Day cup from Starbucks! The hubby bought it for me the other day. I just love it! Also look how well it goes with my manicure! 

The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Essie Big Spender
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI 
  • OPI Miss You-nerverse
  • Large and tiny dotting tools (I purchased mine from Amazon)
  • Smallest size nail art brush (purchased from Born Pretty) 
  • Essie Good to Go top coat. 

 
 I didn’t have any Moroccan tile nail vinyls left to use, so I dotted the pattern myself. When I was first dotting my pattern, I was scared it wasn’t going to come together, but once the white lines and blue dots went down it looked perfect! And I really love how it turned out, and I’m going to have to try it out again in different colour combo! 

  
Have a great day lovely! I have the day off today to do some nail stuff (like a blog post showing off my favourite polishes for Valentines Day!) and prepare for the impending blizzard heading out way. Is it Spring yet? 

💗☕️

Bestie Twin Valentines Day nails with @mynailpolish_addiction

 Happy Monday…and February 1st! You know what that means…. Time to start the Valentines Day manicures! Starting off with some bestie twin nails I did with my my girlie @mynailpolish_addiction. It’s become our tradition to do bestie twin nails every holiday, and so I was super excited for us to come together for Valentines Day Nails.  
 This time, we created manicures based on this napkin I saw last year and really wanted to recreate!   When I showed Jessica she was totally up for the challenge and both manis turned out so awesome! 

 
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • OPI My Chiuhuha Bites
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI 
  • Deborah Lippmann Between the Sheets. 
  • Sally Hansen I Love Nail Art pens in white, red & pink. 
  • Essie Good to Go 
  • Born Pretty small nail art brush. 

 
So what do you think of this manicure? Are you a fan of Valentines Day? Personally, I’m strictly in it for the nail art possibilities. Plus any chance to wear red or pink on my nails is a good thing in my books! 

Have a great Monday! 💗
