Floral nails featuring a whole lot of #EssieLove

Good Morning & Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom’s (&Fur Moms!) out there!

When I was a little girl, we always used to give my Mom breakfast & flowers on Mother’s Day morning. & Even though my Mom lives far away now, I always think about those Mother’s Days we had as a kid. So in honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I would share some floral nails I did last week.

 

The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Essie Brides No Grooms
  • Essie Tuck it in my Tux
  • Essie Lounge Lover
  • Essie Sunshine State of Mind
  • Essie First Timer

Floral accent nail featuring China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le

Good morning lovelies. Hope the weather is beautiful where you are. 

Here in Halifax, Mother Nature is playing a nasty late April Fools joke on us and has been giving us weather better suited to Early March!  So what better what to combat the chill then with some pretty floral? 🌻

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI 
  • Unnamed Cosmetic Arts Peach polish 
  • Unnamed Cosmetic Arts Pink polish. 
  • Essie In the Cabana
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow. 
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in green. 
  • Essence The Green and the Grunge
  • Essie Good to Go 
  • Sally Hansen Nail Art studs. 

 

Have I mentioned how ready for Spring I am?! Really, really ready. The weather may not be agreeing, but at least these nails can help me play pretend for a while. 🌸

Spring-y Floral 

Is anyone else seriously ready for Spring?! I definitely am. This winter hasn’t been nearly as rough as last year, but I am still so ready for Winter to be over. In honour of that Spring feeling, I thought I’d pull out some brighter colours. 

I was at Shoppers the other day with the hubby, and he picked me out Essie Chillato to add to the stash, which is a pale pistachio green and nothing like anything I have in my stash. I’m not usually into greens, but I’m seriously digging this colour. And since I’m trying to break out of my comfort zone, what’s a better colour to do it with! 

And since I was going with such a fresh Spring-y colour, I thought some floral was in order.  

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Essie Chillato
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in purple
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in green 
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in magenta 
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in turquoise
  • Essie Good to Go 

Oh yes, bring in the floral. It’s been a long winter, and I’ve missed playing around with my floral manis. I’m also kind of obsessed with my Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pens again. I forgot how easy they are to use to create fun designs! I have a feeling I might be adding more to the stash come next pay day! 
Anyone else craving Spring as much as I am? What are you wearing on your nails lately?

Rose and Diamond nails featuring rhinestones from Born Pretty

 Good morning! Today I’ve got another manicure featuring an item sent to me for review by Born Pretty! 

 We’ve got some serious snow happening here in good ole Halifax so what better to wear on my nails than floral! And I thought these beautiful irredescent rhinestones (item #21586) would perfectly compliment my roses. 

  
Each little bin comes with 130 little stones of varying sizes. For this manicure I went with the smallest of the 3. I really love using studs and stones in my nail art as accents, and I’m very impressed with how easy these were to pick up and apply. The stones themselves are very light in weight so all I used to pick them up was a damp nail art brush. I then just put them in place over some wet top coat, then sealed everything in with another coat of top coat! Easy peasy. 

 The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Grey Area 
  • China Glaze Chit-Chat
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI
  • Sinful Colors Aubergine 
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Giant Peach. 
  • Essie Good to Go top coat. 
  • Large size dotting tool
  • Small nail art brush

Bestie Twin Nails with @jazzynailedit

Good morning loves! I had the opportunity to do another Bestie Twin Nails manicure with one of my very talented fellow nail artists @jazzynailedit! We created a floral based on a manicure originally done by @justagirlandhernails, just gave it a Fall spin! 

  
Aren’t Jasmine’s flowers amazing?! You should definitely check out here page if your on Instagram! Her nails are always impeccable! 

 
For my version of this manicure, the polishes I used were:

  • ACO by Ardene Day Dreamer 
  • OPI Just BeClaus 
  • China Glaze High Hopes 
  • Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow 
  • Seche Vite

I created all my little flowers using a small dotting tool which was surprisingly easier than I thought it was going to be! 

   


What do you think of this Fall mani?  I’ve been trying to come up with new seasonal manicure inspiration! I’m just really excited to start Halloween manicures! 

Have a great day loves!
