Simple Pink & Holo Glitter Nails

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! We’re still digging out from the snowpocalypse over the weekend but thankfully I have some manicures from last week (when I wasn’t posting) to share with you this week!

Today’s look is a super simple one, but I actually really love it. This would be a great Valentine’s Day look to wear for any fun date (or girls night!) you have planned. It’s also a super simple look to create.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat
  • Butter London Pistol Pink
  • OPI I Snow You Love Me
  • Dotting tool

I haven’t worn this pink in ages & I totally forgot how beautiful it was! I don’t often wear just pink nails on their own, so naturally I had to add a little extra sparkle. Originally, I wanted to use heart glitters — but my bottle is all dried up & needs some nail polish thinner — so I decided to go with the next best thing which is this glitter from OPI.

It gives the effect of rhinestones on your nails, without having to worry about hitting them against something & knocking them off! Just such a cute easy nail art look to wear!

What do you think about this simple chic pink nail art look? Would you wear this design on your nails? As always, I love to hear what you think in the comments so please share below!

Enjoy your Monday 🖤

Blue Marble

Hello lovelies & happy Friday. I know it’s been a quiet week here. I’ll be honest, it’s been a rough week on my end, so blogging hasn’t really been my main priority. But—it’s almost the weekend & I’m feeling better, so let’s share some nails, shall we?

Today’s look is an easy marble effect I did using my favourite Saran Wrap splatter effect. These are giving deep space/ deep ocean vibes, & I quite love it.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Ardene Electric Chic
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Cosmic Blue
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • Crinkled Saran Wrap

I went a little heavier with my dabbing for this look, layering the colours over one another, which is what I think gave it the cool marble effect.

Chic Gold Stripe Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! The weekend is almost here.

Today I’m sharing a quick & simple look with you I’ve been wearing for the last few days. I have posted a few different versions of this look over the years, & it just never gets boring to me. You can freehand you lines, like I did here, or use striping tape/straight nail vinyls for a little bit of ease. Either way, it’s a not too difficult design that looks chic & classic — & always eye catching.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Milani Nail Polish Deep Thoughts
  • Bourjois Paris Perle Illusion
  • Sally Hansen Five Golden Blings
  • Nailstuff.ca 16mm striper brush

You can’t really see the holo sparkle of Five Golden Blings but it’s there! I really like this simple single line. I was also really excited with how straight my lines turned out! That isn’t always the case. Even though I’ve come a long way with my straight nails, that doesn’t mean they’re always perfect! So when I do get them right… oh boy, does it make me excited!

Probably the reason why this manicure is on day three!

What do you think about these simple gold stripes? Do you like this chic design? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below. & share which colour combination you’d wear for a simple stripe design like this.

Have a great Friday loves ♥︎

Pink & Purple Half Moons

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I hope the week has been treating everyone lovely so far. Today I’ve got another nail art look to share, & this time we’re going bright!

I was really in the mood for some pink & purple half moons — kind of an early Valentine’s Day look — mostly because I love a good half moon design.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Essie Expressie IRL
  • Quo Beauty Show Stopper
  • Paper Hole Reinforcements

Gosh, I will never not love a half moon design — especially when it turns out this clean! Plus pink & purple are just the perfect combination. I thought about adding a little matte top coat as well, but I think the shiny is just too good together. 💜💗

What do you think about my half moon design? Do you love the pink & purple together as much as I do? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Enjoy your Wednesday loves! 🖤

Purple Abstract Stripes

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! We’ve made it to the end of the week. Today I’m sharing a quick easy look I did the other day that I thought was a nice pop of colour. You know how much I love some abstract stripes, & purple, so I combined the two into a bright fun look!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • OPI Sickeningly Sweet
  • OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI
  • OPI Turn Off The Northern Lights
  • OPI One Heckla of a Color
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPi
  • NailStuff.ca 16mm striper brush

Loving this combination of colours. I’ll admit, January is probably my most uninspired month after all the fun holiday manicures. But this one definitely makes me happy. I’m also planning on some floral soon, which always makes the day better too. I really want to do a black roses design soon!
