Simple gold dotticure

  

Happy Friday! I have just a quick manicure to share today. 

I love gold. I love gold SO MUCH! It really does look beautiful with anything. For this manicure I paired Zoya Harlow with Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Lo and China Glaze Meet Me in the Mirage. 

What’s your favourite colour to pair with gold? Mine is purple (obviously) but I love it with a deep blue! And red! Haha see it’s perfect with everything. 

Half moons featuring Essie Vested Interest! 

 It’s sweater weather! 

In honour of the chilly Nova Scotia mornings, I’ve been playing with my Fall-themed polishes. I wanted to pull away from my obsession with pinks and purples and blues and wear something a little different. 

Essie Vested Interest is from their fall 2013 collection, and it’s a deep greyish green  creme. It’s not a typical colour I usually reach for, but it’s definitely the perfect fall colour. 

  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Essie Take it Outside
  • Essie Vested Interest 
  • Stripe Rite striping polish in Gold. 
  • Seche Vite 

 
I really, really love how these turned out. This may be one of my best half moon manicures I’ve ever done! 

What do you think of this manicure? 

What’s your all time favourite Fall polish, either current or previous collection? 🍂🍁

Fall themed tribal print. 

   
Fall is coming quickly. The mornings are definitely starting to feel cooler already and I’m starting to reach for sweaters more than sun dresses!  So what’s better than a little dip into some more fall colours? 

  

The polishes used for my tribal print nails were: 

  • China Glaze Fancy Pants 
  • China Glaze Lets Dew It!
  • Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low
  • Hard Candy Coconut 
  • Stripe Rite striping polish in Gold
  • QUO by ORLY striper in Black
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in Neon Pink 
  • Seche Vite 

I really really love this combination of colours together! Also China Glaze Lets Dew It! is simply perfection and I love everything about it! 

  
 What are you wearing on your nails now that we’re into September? Part of me wants to hold onto Summer a little bit more… But Fall is calling me! 🍁🍂

Inspired by Flip Flops! 

  
 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: 

  • Color Club Silver Lake
  • Yves Saint Laurent Noir Primitif
  • Finger Paints unnamed mini (from the Halifax nail blogger meet up)
  • ACO by Ardene Sunkissed (floral details)
  • Essie Bikini So Teeny (floral details) 
  • Sally Hansen I Love Nail Art pen in Green. 
  • Crystals from Icing stores. 
  • Seche Vite 

 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! 🍁🍂☕️

Freehand triangle accent nails. 

I’ve wanted to create a mini triangle patterned nails for a while now, but I’m no good with striping tape! So I decided to give them a try with my striping polish! My freehanding has been getting better with practice so I’m very happy with how these turned out. 

   
The polishes I used for this manicure were: 

  • Yves Saint Laurent Nail Lacquer in Violine Surrealiste 
  • Yves Saint Laurent Nail Lacquer in Violet Baroque
  • Essie Mochacino
  • Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low
  • QUO by ORLY striper in White
  • Seche Vite 

 

  

What do you think of this mani? I absolutely adore how my triangles turned out! I wore this mani for a full two days which almost never happens. I would have kept it on another day but they started to chip thanks to work (darn stock days…). I will definitely be trying this design again soon!
