Barbiecore Chevron Moons 💗🌙

•contains pr/gifted product•

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a lovely week. It’s (almost) the weekend!

I’m super pumped because I am going to see Barbie tonight for a Bachelorette thing — my first time to the movies since I was pregnant with my now six year old! I’m so excited for this movie, so naturally I had to do some Barbie pink nails for the occasion. & I knew that the new pink shades in the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s collection were the perfect choices for my vibrant Barbie look!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glossy Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glazed Top Coat (over my base coat)
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nostalchick
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Beet Me At The Mall
  • TheBaseCoat Stacked Chevron vinyls

I truly think that chevron moon designs (like this) still remain one of my all time favourite nail art looks! & it’s been so long since I did one, which is kind of crazy.

But if there was ever a perfect Barbie nail art look, this one might be it. & I’m very excited to show off this nail art look when sipping my Diet Coke at the movies tonight!

What do you think of my Barbiecore chevron moons? Are you excited for the Barbie movie? Will you be painting your nails special to see it in theatres? Let me know in the comments below!

Neon Colour Blocking (Featuring Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s collection)

•contains pr/gifted product•

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday — it was a very busy week last week! I decided instead of rushing to get a Swatch Sunday post done, to use my Saturday night for some fun self care & I did something I’ve been wanting to do forever: I re-dyed my hair purple! It was a bit of a lengthy process (we needed to bleach!) so I knew I couldn’t get both done. So I picked my hair.

I’m back today, though, & sharing a design using some of the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s shades I received last week.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glossy Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen MG 90s Did I Blue That?
  • Sally Hansen MG 90s Nostalchick
  • Sally Hansen MG 90s Toadally Buggin’

Does the colour combination & colour blocking on this look remind anyone else of those 90s colour block bathing suits — the ones with the big zipper down the front? I definitely had one or two I wore as a kid.

I just thought this design would be so fun to wear, & the bright colours would look so good together, & I’m glad I was right! Give me all the Summer shades. I’m very much about the Summer vibes right now.

What do you think about this bright neon colour block look? Do you like these Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s inspired polishes. I have a bunch of free time this week so I should be able to get Swatches done of these new shades for this coming Sunday!

Have a fantastic start to your week lovelies! & enjoy the sunshine if it’s shining where you are. ☀️

Barbiecore Nails 💗

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope everyone’s week went went. It’s been a busy one for us. I feel like this whole month is speeding by quickly! It feels like Summer is almost half over; just crazy.

Today I’m pumped to show off a fun new design, just in time for the Barbie movie being released next week. Barbiecore nails have been all over my Instagram & Pinterest, so I needed to try out the theme for myself. I don’t wear all pink nails on their own too, too often, but maybe I should. These nails were very, very fun to wear!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Olive & June Long Lasting Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Neons Fuchsia Fever
  • Sally Hansen MG Neons Floresc-pink
  • Sally Hansen MG Lilac Insomniac
  • Born Pretty Stamping Plate — no longer available
  • NailStuff.ca Clear Stamper 

This pattern is reminding me of the dress Totally Hair Barbie wears, which was definitely inspired by Margot Robie’s look on the Barbie promotion tour. I thought the pattern would definitely give off 90s Barbie vibes, which was the look I wanted to portray with this manicure. I wanted you to look at it & your mind just immediately go to Barbie… which I think I managed to accomplish!

Plus it gave me an excuse to pull out some older Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Neons which was great timing because I just received a PR package featuring the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s collection! & I can’t wear to play around with those asap.

What do you think of this Barbiecore nail design? Are you a fan of the current Barbiecore trend? Are you looking forward to seeing the new movie?

Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.

Happy Friday loves!

Simple Swirls

•contains pr/gifted product•

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their week. It’s humid & sticky here today, with not much sun. Not my favourite kind of weather, but that’s okay. Today I have a fun look I actually did before Canada Day, but hadn’t had a chance to post yet. I was feeling so stripes, & ended up going a little more on the abstract side of things (as I usually do.)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry Top
  • Essie Expressie FX Iced Out
  • Essie Bikini So Teeny
  • Essie (Un)Guilty Pleasures
  • Essie Cute as A Button
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Essie Frilly Lillies
  • NailStuff.ca Mermaid Tail Brush Trio (I used the 11mm liner brush)

In case you’re wondering — yes, I’m still obsessed with these beautiful Essie shades I was gifted. I haven’t yet had a chance to do a floral yet with these shades, but I have it on my itinerary. So many nail art ideas, so little time! But I have to say, all the beautiful polishes I’ve recently been gifted for PR, I have so many ideas brewing inside my head. I’m very excited for all the nail art to come this Summer.

What do you think about this beautiful swirly line design? Such an easy design to do, with minimal time required.

Have a fantastic Monday! ♥︎

Happy Canada Day Nails 🇨🇦

Good morning lovelies & happy Friday!

It’s almost the weekend. & here in Canada, it’s almost our nation’s birthday. So obviously, I needed some cute Canada Day nails to celebrate the occasion (& the day off work!) I still have a good haul of my Canada Day vinyl stencils from a few years ago, so I decided I should put them to good use.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel x Friends He’s Her Lobster
  • Sally Hansen MG x Friends A Moo Point
  • Sally Hansen MG Red It Twice
  • What’s Up Beauty Canada Flag Stencils (c/o: NailPolishCanada circa 2018)

Please excuse the raindrops on my nails — I took these between bouts of torrential rain. But even the damp conditions couldn’t take away from how cute these turned out! & they were so easy to do with my nail stencils! I definitely couldn’t think about freehanding these maple leaves.

& I got so many compliments when I wore them to work! Which always makes me feel good.

What do you think of my cute Canada Day nails? Let me know in the comments below. & to my fellow Canadians — enjoy your holiday tomorrow!
