Anyone else so excited for Spring?! I definitely am. Although we’re getting some less than pleasant weather (snow in April? 😧) I thought I’d embrace some bright colours. And it’s been a while since I wore a half moon mani, so I thought it would be fun to pull out a few of my favourite bright colours.
The polishes I used for this mani were:
What colours are you loving for Spring? 🌷
I’m kind of over snow and winter, so I decided to go with something bright and colourful on the nails. I decided to play around with some of my favourite bright and neon colors.
The polishes I used for this manicure were:
What do you wear on your nails when the January blahs take effect?
Morning lovelies! Hope you’re not having a too rough or caffeine deprived Monday. Today I’ve got a manicure to share with you today featuring Fish Scale nail art stencils (item #23535). 
I’ve come to discover my love affair with nail vinyls and nail stencils in the last year so I was very excited when I was contacted to review some items by Born Pretty. I’ve always had very good expirences with their products and these nail stencils were no different.
Each sheet comes with 12 stencils all attached on a clear backing. I pre-cut the six stencils I was going to use, then one by one applied each over my base colour that was completely dry. These stencils are much thinner than I’m used to with other vinyls (they’re made of a thin holographic material) but we’re very easy to place and apply.
Once I had my stencils where I liked them, I trimmed the excess off the tips and started sponging on my colours of choice.
The polishes I used for this manicure were:
Once all your colours have been sponged on and you feel good about them, quickly remove the stickers from the nail leaving behind your scale pattern. Apply top coat (I used both quick dry top coat and a matte top coat for mine) and it’s time to enjoy.
I just absolutely adore how this mani turned out, and I feel like the matte top coat just brings the whole mani to the next level.

You may be noticing lots of versions of the shattered glass manicure popping up online. I’ve been really wanting to give it a go, but cutting up teeny slivers of irredesant paper seemed a little overwhelming. So instead I pulled out my bottle of Color Club Diamond Drops for a little glitter placement.
Polishes used for this manicure were:
This mani is super easy to do. You start off with a dry base colour (I used China Glaze Don’t Get Elfed Up from the Cheers 2015 collection). Once dry, I used a small sized dotting tool to fish out different sized glitter shards from Diamonf Drops and create the shattered glass patterns. When I had filled in the patterns on all my nails, I sealed everything in with two coats of Seche Vite–although I probably could have went with three as some glitters were still sticking up in some places!
I love these. So much, I had to wear them for two days! Diamond Drops has the most incredible holo effect, I couldn’t stop staring at my nails! This would definitely been a fun design to wear to any holiday parties coming up, or even New Years Eve!
So what do you think of this version of Shattered Glass nails? Have you given this technique a try yet?
When it comes nail art, I find inspiration can be everywhere. Today’s mani was inspired by a pair of flip flops at work. When we first got them in way back in March all I could think was NAIL ART! Took me until the end of August but I did it!
The polishes I used for this mani were:
So what do you think of my mani? My company is having a “most stylish employee” contest right now so I used this for my first entry. I’m probably going to do a few entries like that just for fun!
Happy First Day of September everyone! 🍁🍂☕️
