Thermal Floral 🌸🌿

Don’t hate me! I know it’s been quiet around here & I seriously suck. It’s been a busy month, & as a result blogging has been a bit paused lately. But I’m trying my best to come back! & I have a bunch of manicures saved up to share!

Today — floral. Yes, again. 🌿🌸 I’m obsessed, what can I say.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Cadillacquer Nostalgia (Thermal)
  • Sally Hansen I 💗 Nail Art Pen Pink
  • OPI Nature Strong Emflowered
  • Essie Swoon in the Lagoon
  • OPI Nature Strong Make My Daisy
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Sally Hansen I 💗 Nail Art Pen in green
  • OPI Gelato On My Mind
  • Essie All the Wave
  • Sally Hansen I 💗 Nail Art Pen Purple
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio

Originally I didn’t plan on painting floral in every finger, but once I started I just kept going & created this cute little garden on my nails. I’m so happy I did, too, because the look is just so Spring-y & fresh. I also love that the base is a thermal, so it changes depending on the temperature of your fingers.

What do you think about this floral design? Is it feel warm & Spring like where you are? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below! & tell me what your favourite Spring polish is right now.

Fun Pastel Abstract Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday!

I hope you’re having the most wonderful week so far. It’s surprisingly chilly today, albeit sunny, so I’ll try to enjoy that. Today I have a fun nail art look I created on a whim, that I couldn’t wait to share. Abstract nails are such an easy nail art look to do, because there is no “right” or “wrong” way to do them. You just basically get to throw some polish on your nails, & you end up with something fun! I love manicures like that.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Tutu At The Ballet
  • Essie Muchi Muchi
  • OPI Infinite Shine Sickeningly Sweet
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Gloss-Sea
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Ghouls Night Out
  • Quo Beauty Stormy Night
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

How much fun! I’m not sure what kind of art I was going for, but these kind of remind me of like early 90s TV opening. A fun look to wear.

Mermaid Sparkle Nails ✨🧜‍♀️

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday!

It’s a beautiful sunny day & it’s lovely. Definitely feeling like Spring more & more, & I’m just soaking it up. Today I’m sharing a really pretty manicure with you that I did recently, which was actually super easy to do! A while ago — probably sometime last year—I picked up these pretty iridescent glitters from Dollarama, & I’ve had yet to use them! So I was so excited to finally pull them out. 

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: LA Girl Rapid Dry Top Coat
  • Nailtural Keep Palm, & Swim On
  • Icing Mermaid Oil Blue
  • Dollarama Nail Art Glitters iridescent shard glitters
  • Small nail art brush (to pick up glitters)

How pretty did these turned out?! I feel like with my new blue hair, I’m all about the mermaid vibes lately. Mermaid hair just needs mermaid nails.

These were so easy to apply the glitters to my nails, & it turned out so beautiful. I really really love how they look. Of course, I did have some little peices sticking up on my nail, but I feel like a thicker top coat might help with that issue. Either way, I wore the heck out of this manicure!

Happy Thursday 💙

Blue Spring-y Stripes

Good morning lovelies & happy Tuesday!

I’m trying really hard to get back into the swing of posting again, & I’m hoping I can get back into a regular posting schedule. Today, I have a fun easy stripe design to share with you that was surprisingly easy to do!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: China Glaze Fast Forward Top 
  • Quo Beauty Stormy Night
  • Quo Beauty Bluebell
  • OPI Nature Strong Emflowered
  • BKIND Sauble Beach
  • Color Club Art Club Striper Passion Flower
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

I tried my hardest to make my lines straight, which I definitely find hardest when I’m doing horizontal lines verse vertical lines! But I think this look turned out really perfect. & I absolutely love the combination of colours. The base (Quo Beauty Stormy Night) may be quite dark, but the lighter colours really pop against it! &

I got so many compliments when I wore these at work — which is always what I base my designs on. If people start complimenting them, I know it’s a good design.

What do you think about this colourful stripe design? Do you like my freehand stripes? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Have a happy Tuesday ♥️

SWATCH SUNDAY — BKIND Sauble Beach

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday!

I know I’ve been very quiet in here lately; to be honest, I’ve been struggling a bit on what to do with this blog of mine. It’s been almost 10 years since my first blog post, & the nailsphere has changed a lot. But painting my nails has always brought me such happiness, & that is what I’m going to focus on.

So let’s start with a new to me brand for this weeks Swatch Sunday! I found this BKIND brand at my local Winners & as soon as I saw this beautiful blue I knew I needed it. This is BKIND Sauble Beach.

2 coats + top coat

How absolutely stunning is this beautiful cornflower blue? Two coats was all I needed for perfect opacity, & I added some top coat for a little extra shine. The formula was really smooth & easy to work with, if only a little thin. But after the first coat, you know exactly how much you need on your brush.

This is such a perfect colour for Spring! I’ve always been in love with blue nail polish, as we know, so I’m so happy to add this to my collection.

The brand also has some impressive stats: vegan, plant based & touts itself as being 21 free. They also have a very impressive selection of colours listed on their website! There were mostly neutral colours at my Winners, with a few blues & shimmers. I’m definitely hope they’ll have more coming in, because I’m really quite impressed with this brand after my first experience!

What do you think of BKIND Sauble Beach? Have you heard of this brand before — what did you think? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

& let me know what kind of content you’d like to see me take on as Coffee & Nail Polish approaches its next decade!

Happy Sunday 🖤
