Easy & Simple Spring Floral 🌼

Hello lovelies — & happy Wednesday!

& Happy April 1st. I hope everyone’s week is going okay. I don’t know about where you are, but here on the East Coast of Canada the weather is miserable–which is just more reason for Spring-y designs. The flowers may not be showing themselves in our garden, but at least I can wear them on my nails.

Today’s look is me wistfully wishing for some warmer, Spring-like days. Which, obviously, means floral!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Gel Like Top Coat
  • OPI Infinite Shine Mariachi Makes My Day
  • OPI Infinite Shine Shaking My Sugarplums
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Essie Off Tropic
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • OPI Where Did Suzi’s Man-go?
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Red My Lips
  • Sally Hansen Good. Kind. Pure. Peony Origins
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Montley Hue
  • NailStuff.ca 7mm Mermaid Tail Brush

This design started off as simply just a rose design, but after I had painted my roses I realized that something was missing, so I added a bit more greenery, & then a few of the white flowers (sort of daisies, but not really). & once I added my white flowers, I felt like it pulled everything together perfectly.

Is it a totally original floral look? Well, no.

Do I still absolutely adore the end result? Absolutely, yes. Especially where my nails are so short at this current moment in time, I feel like a floral design looks so beautiful & put together. Plus, the darker purple base is a little bit end of winter, with the floral adding the touch of Spring I’m desperately craving.

What do you think of this floral look? Do you like the combination of colours? Does it have you craving Spring as much as I am craving spring? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.

& if it’s feeling like Spring where you are, I’d love to know! Give me some hope so warmer, sunnier days to come.

Pretty Spring Floral (with Butter London) 🌸

*contains PR/gifted items

Hello beauties & happy Wednesday!

We are back up & running, & I’m trying my best to keep my posting routine going.

I’m hoping today’s nail art look is going to encourage Mother Nature to get her stuff together. The calendar may say Spring, but the weather is screaming December. So maybe. simple floral look will encourage some warmer days — because I want to wear my Spring dresses again!

Today’s look uses my two new Butter London shade for Spring 2026 — Bloomsbury & Posh Petal.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Gel Like Top Coat
  • Butter London Pure Colour 21X Bloomsbury
  • Butter London Pure Colour 21X Posh Petal
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Small Nail Art Brush

I love floral nails so much! These were done while I was away from my stash, so I used acrylic paint for my floral instead — because that’s what I had available. I also didn’t have my usual favourite nail art brush from NailStuff, but I think I this look really came together for a beautiful Spring look. I love love love Posh Petal as the sheer base for my flowers, & I think it works perfectly for this naked, but not really naked, effect.

What do you think of this floral look using my new Butter London Spring 2026 shades? Do you like this combination as much as I do?

Sadly, this was my last look I did before breaking two of my long nails, & needing to trim them all down to a much shorter length! I enjoyed having my nails super long, but it’s fun to start over & come up with some cute nail art looks for my baby nails.

Happy Wednesday!

Vampy Autumn Roses

Hello lovelies & happy Monday!

& hello to anyone new discovering this little blog of mine! I had some crazy traffic to my little corner of the internet last week, so I’m happy to welcome you to my little nail blog. ❤️

Today we’re starting off Monday right with some new nails. & I realized the other day it had been ages since I did any floral on my nails, so some vampy roses seemed appropriate.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle) 
  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Cure
  • OPI Infinite Shine Bring Out The Big Gems
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Red It Twice
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri The Queens Velvet
  • NYC Color Lexington Lilac
  • Essie Off Tropic
  • China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald
  • NailStuff dotting tool trio
  • NailStuff 7mm Mermaid Tail liner brush

Okay first off — I decided to paint these at 9:30pm in very minimal light, so I’m shocked they turned out as good as they did! Because trying to see those roses on this dark base colour was a challenge, I won’t lie.

Secondly, I’m obsessed! Everytime I do floral I remember why I love wearing floral so much. It’s like me in a manicure. & these vampy roses—as challenging as they were to paint—just look so beautiful against the dark jewel toned based of OPI Bring Out The Big Gems. Just perfect for a gloomy November day.

What do you think of my vampy roses? Do you like them against this dark gloomy base? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Enjoy your Monday!

Autumn Floral Accent Nails🌻🍂

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! How is everyone enjoying their week so far First full week of school for the kiddos, & today is the first day I have all to myself so I’m going to enjoy some nail painting (& much overdo room cleaning!) First up, though, I have some beautiful Fall floral accent nails I recently painted on my nails, & they turned out so beautifully. So I thought you might enjoy them!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Good To Go Top Coat
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
  • Essie Expressie Take The Espresso
  • Essie Fall for NYC
  • Essie Get Your Groove On
  • Essie Merino Cool
  • Essie Wind in the Willow
  • NailStuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailsStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio

Look at the close up! Oh, these are the nails that make me the happiest. Floral accent nails have always been one of my favourite designs. & I think the combination of colour is absolutely Autumn on the nail. Plus it matches the Brown Eyed Susans in our garden so perfectly — they made the perfect background for my pictures.

What do you think of this Autumn inspired floral design? Are you feeling the Autumn vibes as much as I am? Our neighbours have started decorating for Fall, which makes me happy to see whenever I’m out walking. This is just my favourite time of year, & I’m ready to embrace it fully.

Pink Roses & Baby’s Breath Bouquet Manicure

Hello loves & happy Friday! I hope everyone is enjoying their week so far. It’s been a beautiful week here so far, but honestly I won’t like — the nights have been giving Autumn. It’s been cool, & nice, & has me craving pumpkin everything. I’m just such a basic girl, & I’m okay with that.

But, I won’t jump into the Autumn vibe nails quite yet — I’ll wait until Starbucks releases their PSL at least. So I have some pretty floral nails to share with you.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter Top Coat 
  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifier
  • Essie Gel Couture Electric Geometric *pr
  • Essie Shine of the Times
  • Essie Princess Charming
  • Essie Mrs. Always Right
  • Essie Gel Couture Gossamer Garments *pr
  • Essie Wind in the Willow *pr
  • Essie Bustling Bazaar
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool 

I absolutely love these. I love the base with the glitter. I love how my roses turned out. I love the little bit of babies breath. I just think the whole design came together beautifully, & I truly adore them.

Also, my 10 year wedding anniversary is coming up this September, & I think I’m going to recreate my wedding nails (again) 10 years later. I did it back in 2018 so I thought it would be fun to do now… what do you think? Would you like to see me do another recreation of my original wedding nails, or maybe what I would do now if I were to paint my nails to get married?

Let me know what you think!

Do you love these romantic roses? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below. Happy Friday!
