Holo Candy Candy Stripes

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! Trying to get back into my regular posting schedule again, with a Monday post. I feel like things are getting a bit crazy, so it’s been harder lately. But here’s hoping with the holidays coming (& holiday nail art) I can find a more consistent routine!

Today’s look is a classic holiday nail art look — candy cane stripes! Again, this is one that I repeat year after year, but I decided to spruce it up a bit with a little more sparkle ✨.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Holo Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Holographic Top Coat *
  • Essie Making Spirits Bright
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Essie Bordeaux *
  • Essie Blanc
  • NailStuff.ca 16mm Striper Brush

*PR/Gifted

Are these not giving serious Christmas vibes? I always love a good candy cane stripe design this time of year, because it’s just the right amount of holiday vibes. & they pair perfectly with the holly bush in our front yard.

What are we thinking about this candy cane stripe look? Sometimes I like to go more subtle with this design, but the glitter was just calling to me!

So when do you start your holiday nail art looks? Let me know in the comments below.

Cosy Matte Knit Nails

Good morning lovelies & happy Friday. & happy (almost) weekend! Can you believe we’re halfway through November? I know I say this every month, but it’s truly astonishing how quickly this year is coming to a close.

But I do appreciate all the nail art ideas this time of year! Because there are so many you can do! Today I was feeling some knit inspired nails. This is a design I’ve done before, & it’s perfect for a pre-holiday, late Autumn look.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Matte Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Matte Top Coat *
  • Essie Expressie Feel The Hype*
  • Essie Bikini So Teeny*
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

How cute is this knit effect? It reminds me of the sweaters & scarves I’ve been layering on because it’s been freezing lately — & I get cold easily anyways. This is such an easy look to do, too, & you can use any colour. In fact, I’m already brainstorming a fun Red scarf inspired look in my head.

It’s also the perfect nail art look for any nail length—short of long, it will look great on your nails!

What do you think about this knit inspired nail art look? Do you like the colours & pattern? What nail art are you loving right now? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Happy Friday.

Holo Spider Webs 🕸️

Happy Halloween!

I have one more Halloween nail art look to share with you, & this one is an easy to recreate one! I decided on some holo spider webs — the only kind of spider webs I will entertain.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Kimono Over
  • Ella + Mila Zephyr *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*gifted

How cute are these holographic spider webs? & as someone who is fairly arachnophobic, I feel like me calling anything involving spiders is pretty huge. Ella + Mila Zephyr is a great silver hill, & makes some beautiful lines for this design. I’m a fan!

What do you think of my holographic spider webs? Do you like this design? Let me know what you think, & what Halloween treat you’ll be snacking on tonight!

Have a fun & safe Halloween loves. 🎃

Look at his little flower crown! The cutest little ghosty ever.

I’m so happy with how these turned out. Once again I ran out of time to do as many Halloween designs as I wanted, but that’s okay. I’m still super in love with all the Halloween looks I’ve created this year.

What do you think about my ghost design? Would you wear these cutie pie ghosts? Let me know what you think of my Halloween nails, & what design you would wear on your nails.

Happy Wednesday

Hello loves & happy Tuesday!

I’m continuing on with my fun Halloween looks with another freehand design. I attempted a cute Jack o Lantern look… & this is how it turned out haha. This is definitely not my best freehand design, but I still think it’s super cute (& a good easy look for someone to do.)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Tangerine Dream
  • Ella + Mila Aurora Lights *
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Quo by ORLY striper in black
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

My thumb is definitely my favourite of my nails! It turned out how I wish the rest of the nails looked. It was my own fault though, as I used my Quo striper & it’s gotten a bit thick with use. Either way, it’s a fun Halloween look & that’s what this week is all about. 🎃

What do you think about these Jack o Lantern nails? Do you think this look is cute? Would you wear a pumpkin look like this? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below & tell me what your Halloween costume is this year!

Enjoy your Tuesday
