Cosy Matte Knit Nails

*contains PR

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 🕸️

*contained pr

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

Silly Jack-o-Lanterns 🎃

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

*PR/gifted

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

& my first Halloween look to share are some freehand drippy blood nails!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Bourdeax *
  • Ella + Mila Everglow *
  • Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

I always love when people post their drippy blood nails, so I had to give it a try. The red on red also looks very cool! These would be an awesome manicure to wear if you were doing like a vampire costume. Kind of reminds me of Drusilla from Buffy!

What do you think of my drippy blood nails for Halloween? Have you picked your Halloween nails yet? Let me know all your thoughts & let me know what you’ll be wearing.

Have a great Monday!
