Hello lovelies & happy Saturday! I know what you’re thinking — I never do Saturday posts. But this is not just any Saturday… today is Coffee & Nail Polish’s 11th birthday!

Hard to believe it, but this blog has been around for 11 years already. 🥹 It’s seen me through so much life experiences & we’re still going! So thank you so much for joining me on this journey & I hope you’ll stick along with me for whatever is to come!

The polishes I used for this manicure are:

  • Madam Glam Birds Fairy *
  • Madam Glam Purple Rain *

  • Madam Glam Minty Green *
  • Madam Glam Warm Up *

How cute did these Mini Egg inspired nails turn out? Using a very thin brush of that Sephora glitter worked perfectly for the specks!

I also thought it would be the perfect look to celebrate this big blog birthday! Plus you can never go wrong with Mini Eggs — they’re the best part of Easter! (Now if only they would come out with a dairy free version…)

SWATCH SUNDAY — Revlon Ultra HD Snap Blue My Mind

Hello lovelies & happy sunny Sunday ☀️

It’s a beautiful Spring-y day here on the East Coast, which is good because I’m pretty sure we have a bunch of nasty weather heading our way. So naturally, I needed something bright & beautiful to wear on my nails.

I picked up a couple of the Revlon Ultra Snap HD shades last year (I think) but I haven’t really pulled them out to wear. But I thought this bright blue would be the perfect shade to show off. This is Blue My Mind.

2 coats + Top Coat

First thing I noticed about this shade is the formula is really smooth, & really easy to apply. It’s thick enough it doesn’t flood your cuticles but thin enough it applies smoothly on the nail. The formula boasts a quick dry time, too, which I love. I did apply top coat over it, but even without it did seem to be pretty speedy on drying.

This colour reminds me a lot of Essie In My Cab-Ana, which is one of my favourite Essie blues of all time. I just love a bright blue!

Revlon Ultra HD Snap shades are available wherever you buy your nail polishes. Mine were purchased at my local Shoppers Drug Mart & they retail for $10.49 CAD when not on sale.

What do you think of this bright & beautiful blue? Does this shade made you think of Sunny days too? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Happy Sunday

Purple & Pink Abstract Stripes

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday. Can you believe that we’re almost out of March? It’s crazy this year is almost 1/4 done already, but I am definitely happy to feel Spring coming.

Today I’m pulling out one of my favourite go to designs of years past. With the exception of floral (lots, & lots of floral) I haven’t really been feeling inspired nail art wise. So I turned to nail art of years past to figure out what design to show off on my nails.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Couture Top Coat
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Color Club Bright Night
  • Color Club Pucci-Licious
  • Color Club Peppermint Twist
  • Essie Muchi Muchi *pr/gifted
  • Quo by Orly Striper in black
  • NailStuff.ca 16mm Striper Brush

It’s been a while since I did one of these abstract stripe designs, & that is just too overdue. I love the pinks & purples & blue all paired together — they’re super bright & fun!

The kind of nails you want to wear as the weather is getting warmer.

What do you think of my abstract stripe design? What kind of nail art have you been loving lately? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below, & leave me some inspiration for my next design!

Happy Wednesday

Simple Blue Dotticure (Featuring Madam Glam!)

*contains PR/Gifted Product

Hello lovelies — long. time no see! This month has been a rough one, & sadly that meant I had to take a very unplanned break from blogging. But I’m back, & ready to share all the pretty designs I was creating during my impromptu hiatus.

Today, I am excited because I have some new products to share with you I was gifted from the very kind Madam Glam. They reached out to me about sending me some of their nail polishes & products, & I jumped at the opportunity! You might remember I did a post sharing some of their gel polishes a very years ago, so when I found out they were now doing non-gel nail polishes, I couldn’t wait to try them out! It look a while to reach me (thank you Canada Post strike), but I’m very excited to share all these goodies with you. First thing I did? I’ll have a full swatch post of what I received, but I couldn’t wait to try out some of the goodies & decided to create this fun dotticure design!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

I’m sure you’ve heard me gush about my love for nail art pens before (especially for easy polka dot nails!) so when I saw they now had them in their collection, I knew I needed to try them out! You just open the pen, press down on the tip, then give the pen a shake until you start to see colour. Then draw to your hearts desire!

Super easy, & something I always love for creating nail art. I’ll have many more designs to share using these pens coming soon!

What do you think about this polka dot design I created? I love this pale blue for Spring, even if it is still very much Winter outside my window. Those warmer days are coming, so I’m ready to fully embrace all the Spring vibes I can get my hands on

Hope everyone has a fabulous Thursday!

Dark Blue & Pink Glitter Gradient ✨

Good morning loves & happy Tuesday. A chilly, cold, wet January Tuesday. But crazily enough, this month is almost over! So hard to believe that February is almost here, & in turn, lots of Valentine’s Day looks. Well, at least a few.

Today though, I’m keeping with the bit of a blue trend I’ve been feeling this month with a quick & easy glitter gradient. Working two jobs has meant less time for fun nail art, & I’m still working on finding a good balance so I have “Me time” for nail art! (I’m desperately craving some floral on my nails, I just need the time & energy.)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Essence Colour Shield Top Coat 
  • Finger Paints Queen for a Night
  • Revlon Nail Art Duo 350 Ulterior Motif  (just the side with the pink glitter)

I really forgot how pretty Finger Paints Queen for a Night was. I just love a beautiful jewel toned blue on my nails. While purple is my favourite colour in regular life, & red is my go to I-Don’t-Know-What-to -Wear nail polish colour, blue has always been one of my favourite colour to grab in general. Next to red, it’s probably the colour I own the most shades of! & I always love how it looks on my nails.

Also I swear that I used to buy Finger Paints polishes every time I went to Sally Beauty. Does Sally’s still sell Finger Paints? I’ll have to go check.

What do you think of these glitter gradient nails? I feel like we all need a little extra glitter in our lives during these dark winter months — jazz up the moody days. It may not solve all of the problems in the world, but it certainly makes me feel better!

Happy Tuesday
