Spring-y FloralĀ 

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 ā™„ļø Nail Art pen in purple
  • Sally Hansen I ā™„ļø Nail Art pen in green 
  • Sally Hansen I ā™„ļø Nail Art pen in magenta 
  • Sally Hansen I ā™„ļø 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 ā™„ļø 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!

Floral nails Inspired by @just1nail and @wonderouslypolished

I just love floral. It’s kind of verging on obsession. 

 I saw this manicure on Instagram by @just1nail (who was originally inspired by @wonderouslypolished) and thought it would be the perfect floral for Fall. So naturally that meant that it needed to be recreated! 
  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI Just Be-Claus
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI 
  • Essie After School Boy Blazer
  • Essie Where’s My Chauffeur!
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow (original formula)
  • Quo by ORLY Striper in White. 
  • Seche Vite

I went with a darker blue (Essie After School Boy Blazer) for a more Fall toned manicure…. and I love them! Also I have rarely been wearing red polish lately and now that fall is here that is definitely about to change! This was my first time wearing Just Be-Claus since I picked it up, and it’s such a pretty berry red! 

 
Let me know what you think of this mani in the comments below, and I hope you have a fabulous Monday!

My wedding nails!Ā 

So I had a fairly exciting weekend–the Mr and I got married!  Obviously when we started talking wedding I couldn’t help but trying to figure out my wedding mani. I knew I wanted blue incorporated, and I knew I wanted floral. In the end they ended very different from what I had originally intended to do, but I simply loved them!

   
 
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-ke
  • Maybelline Color Show Crystal Disguise 
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI 
  • Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Lo
  • OPI My Favourite Ornament 
  • Essie Big Spender
  • Icing Poppin’ Cherry
  • Sally Hansen Tickled Pink
  • Yves Saint Laurent 46 Poivre Noir
  • Sally Hansen I Love Nail Art pen in Green. 
  • Seche Vite

I also wore Sally Hansen original formula Pacific Blue on my toes which peeked out from my wedding shoes. 

And for those curiously what I wore with my pretty wedding nails, here are a couple casual shots from the day. 

  

  
   
 

 Have a beautiful week my loves! šŸ’—šŸ’—šŸ’—
