Neon & Neutral Drag Marble

Hello loves & happy Thursday.

My posting is sporadic this week, as I started a new (second) part time job this week, so I’m trying my best to juggle everything as I get used to it. It’s a busy week for me! But I wanted to make sure I had another manicure to share, & I just love these neon drag marble nails that I did recently.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Gel Couture Gossamer Garments *
  • Essie Throw in the Towel *
  • Essie Expressie Feel the Hype *
  • NailStuff.ca dotting tool from Dotting Tool Trio (tiniest one)

**PR/gifted

My idea was to do a sheer-ish base, with a neon drag marble. But then I decided to go with a little navy blue & sort of neon. It wasn’t originally the planned design, but I think it turned out nice. Drag marbles are just some of my favourite easy designs, & they look good on any nail length (which I love).

What do you think about these drag marble nails? A little break up from the dark & gloomy nail shades I’ve been feeling lately!

Also, I did a big chop on my nails for beginning my new part time job (as a barista), so look forward to seeing lots of short nail designs in the near future!

Happy Thursday loves

January Monochrome Chevron Moons

Hello beauties & happy Tuesday. It’s a chilly, chilly here which is feeling very January. & January can be just so blah. So I thought I would make things more fun, with some monochromatic half moons with a little glittery twist.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Hue There? layered over CND Vinylux Dark Dahlia
  • Essie Expressie Feel The Hype*
  • Essie Play Date
  • Quo by Orly Black Striper
  • NailStuff 4mm Micro Detail Brush

I love a good half moon look, & I think this design turned out very cool. I went into it not sure what I was doing — just knowing what colours I wanted to paint over my base — but what I created is a great look. Also, freehand painting these lines of chevrons was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be which I’m happy about.

What do you think about these monochromatic half moons, with a little glittery twist. I feel like I’m not quite ready to let go of my glitter, but I definitely am feeling drawn to darker colours right now.

What do you think of this design? Are you loving dark shades right now? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.

Have a lovely Tuesday.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Christmas Tree 🎄

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! & happy day after Christmas. I hope everyone who celebrates had a peaceful holiday, however they chose to spend it. I know this has been a hard year for so many, & so whatever peace you need, you’ve found it.

Today I have another prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December — Christmas Tree. & I wanted to turn my sparkly base into a tree, so I added some cute simple ornaments. & I think this look turned into perfection.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Icing Stores Under The Mistletoe
  • Essie (Un)Guilty Pleasures *
  • Essie Bikini So Teeny *
  • Essie Not A Phase *
  • Sally Hansen 5 Golden Blings
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

    *pr/gifted

I thought this was such a fun look. It kind of reminds me of the Andy Warhol Flowers painting/print, but with Christmas ornaments instead. A little Christmas twist & different from the Christmas tree looks I usually go for. Plus the green glittery polish is so beautiful! I didn’t realize how much glitter coverage it actually had. So pretty!

Again, merry Christmas. & happy Hanukah to those who are currently celebrating.

& don’t forget that you can see all the beautiful designs using the hashtag #glamnailschallengedec24 on Instagram. Only a few more prompts to go until this year is over!

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Wreath 🌲

Hello lovelies & happy Christmas Eve Eve! Today we have another fun prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December — Wreath.

I can’t believe how quickly we’re speeding through these designs!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Red Carpet (one coat layered over China Glaze Slay Bells Ring)
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Essie Expressie Main Character Moment *
  • Color Club What’s The Matte-r
  • Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

    *pr/gifted

I had this idea about half moon wreaths with one big wreath accent. I think this is a cute & easy look you can get done easily. The bow on my big accent finger is a little wonky, but I still think they turned out really cute. The green pops on the red, & gives off big Christmas-y vibes.

What do you think about these wreath nails? Are they give big Christmas vibes? Let me know what you think? & don’t forget that you can see all the beautiful designs using the hashtag #glamnailschallengedec24 on Instagram.
