This week has been a whirlwind, & a lot has been going on, but I refused to skip out of a final (non challenge) design of the week!
Today is an easy design that turned out so perfect — glittery chevron claws. It’s just the perfect amount of sparkle.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle)
Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Belle of the Ball
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink
Deep Chevron Nail Vinyls
Look at the close up of that sparkle — isn’t that just so pretty? Also the pinky purple blue glitter just looks so beautiful paired with the dark base of Belle of the Ball.

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! Can you believe we are only 9 days away from Halloween? Where the heck has this month gone?! It also means we only have 3 prompts of Glam Nails Challenge October to go before the end of the month. I’ve absolutely enjoyed jumping back into these month challenges, & I’m excited to finish up this month & start planning for my nail art for the rest of the year!
Today’s prompt is Trick or Treat, which is such an ambiguous prompt. But, I did pick up those Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers nail art stickers & there was some fun candy stickers, plus a few that say Trick or Treat. So I instantly knew that they would be perfect for this particular prompt, & I couldn’t wait to use them again!
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle)
Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
Colour Club Purple Haze layered over OPI Lincoln Park After Dark
Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Nail Art Stickers Trick Me, Treat Me style
How fun are these stickers? I know I said it in my previous post featuring them (my birthday nails), but I just love these stickers. I will definitely say though — you want to apply these stickers after your base is fully dry. I had a much better application this time with a manicure that was done the night previously, as opposed to a base that was still tacky & wet. They sit much flatter on the nail, & I think look much smoother as well.
What do you think about my fun Trick or Treat design for this prompt of Glam Nails Challenge October? Do you love these cute Halloween nail art stickers? I purchased my sheet at Shoppers Drug Mart for $7.99 CAD, but I have also seen them available at Walmart in previous years. I kind of wish I had also purchased the other style of stickers (with cute little Ghost Face stickers) but when I went back to find them, they were already sold out at my local store.
Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I know, this post is coming to you much later in the day than usual, but that is because it’s my birthday today! & I’ve been out & about (has to get that free Starbucks birthday drink ✨!)
But I’m so excited to share the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge October — because it’s one of my favourite things! Black Cat. 🐈⬛ I’ve also been holding onto some nail art stickers from Wet N Wild, which were perfect for this prompt!
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle)
Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
Essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Blush *pr
Essie Swoon in the Lagoon
Essie Birthday Girl!
Wet n Wild Halloween Nail Art Stickers
Cute little black kitties, perfect for this prompt — & my birthday manicure. I went with a sponge-y pink base, compliments with Essie Birthday Girl, since it was the perfect day for it!
Maybe this is not the spookiest, scariest black cat design — but it is the perfect one for me to celebrate my October birthday with! I love the pink, I love the stickers (& the other little accent stickers I paired with them.)
What do you think of this black cat design? Do you like the colours I chose to compliment my stickers? Does it scream black cat to you? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!
Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! I hope you’re having the most beautiful start to your day. Today, I’m sharing prompt # 4 from Glam Nails Challenge October for 2025: Spiderweb.
Spider’s are probably my least favourite thing, but a good spiderweb nail art look does fit the spooky Halloween vibes.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle)
Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
Sally Hansen Triple Shine Wavy Blue
NailStuff.ca Essentials Raven
LA Colors Black Shatter
OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Make It N-Ice
NailStuff.ca 16mm Liner Brush
So I tried to do a cute black gradient at the tips of my nails, but it went kind of weird so I created a fun textured effect by adding the LA Colors Shatter at the tips as well — which I like even better than my original idea for a gradient. Then I hand drew my spiderwebs on the tips, with a little extra sparkle.
Is it similar to the same design I do every year? Yes.
Do I still love how it turned out? Also yes.

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! & happy Thanksgiving Weekend to my fellow Canadians celebrating this weekend. It’s officially shifted into Fall weather (almost in overdrive) & the days are feeling cool, & the leaves are feeling crunchy!
Today’s look is one I’ve done a million (plus) times, but still remains a favourite. Nothing screams Autumn to me more than a plaid nail art look.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle)
I wanted to start off with a super dark base, so I went with my bottle of NailStuff Essentials Raven. Such a good black! (& I’ve been loving black lately.) Then using my other colours, I layered on lines to create the woven plaid look. Super easy, & comes out beautifully.
What do you think of my cosy Autumn plaid? Do you like these seasonal designs that aren’t necessarily Halloween centric designs? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below!
