Simple gold dotticure

  

Happy Friday! I have just a quick manicure to share today. 

I love gold. I love gold SO MUCH! It really does look beautiful with anything. For this manicure I paired Zoya Harlow with Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Lo and China Glaze Meet Me in the Mirage. 

What’s your favourite colour to pair with gold? Mine is purple (obviously) but I love it with a deep blue! And red! Haha see it’s perfect with everything. 

Half moons featuring Essie Vested Interest! 

 It’s sweater weather! 

In honour of the chilly Nova Scotia mornings, I’ve been playing with my Fall-themed polishes. I wanted to pull away from my obsession with pinks and purples and blues and wear something a little different. 

Essie Vested Interest is from their fall 2013 collection, and it’s a deep greyish green  creme. It’s not a typical colour I usually reach for, but it’s definitely the perfect fall colour. 

  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Essie Take it Outside
  • Essie Vested Interest 
  • Stripe Rite striping polish in Gold. 
  • Seche Vite 

 
I really, really love how these turned out. This may be one of my best half moon manicures I’ve ever done! 

What do you think of this manicure? 

What’s your all time favourite Fall polish, either current or previous collection? 🍂🍁

Freehand triangle accent nails. 

I’ve wanted to create a mini triangle patterned nails for a while now, but I’m no good with striping tape! So I decided to give them a try with my striping polish! My freehanding has been getting better with practice so I’m very happy with how these turned out. 

   
The polishes I used for this manicure were: 

  • Yves Saint Laurent Nail Lacquer in Violine Surrealiste 
  • Yves Saint Laurent Nail Lacquer in Violet Baroque
  • Essie Mochacino
  • Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low
  • QUO by ORLY striper in White
  • Seche Vite 

 

  

What do you think of this mani? I absolutely adore how my triangles turned out! I wore this mani for a full two days which almost never happens. I would have kept it on another day but they started to chip thanks to work (darn stock days…). I will definitely be trying this design again soon! 

Simple gold stripes over pink. 

 Good morning lovelies! 

Hope you’re enjoying your Wesnesday. Here in Halifax it’s been pretty darn hot… Which normally I wouldn’t complain about but our air conditioning at work has been broken a couple weeks so it’s been a little rough. Thank goodness for maxi dresses and Iced Coffee! 

You know what else makes up for super hot Summer days… Nail polish! I recently picked up a few pretty Essie polishes  on some awesome deals ($3.99) which I can never say no to! 

  
Today’s mani features the super pretty Brides No Grooms. As soon as I spied this pretty reddish pink hiding in the clearance bin, I knew I had to own it! I decided to compliment it with some simple gold stripes created using my QUO by ORLY Striper in Gold. The topped everything with a nice coat of Seche to seal everything in. 

 
Is there anything that doesn’t go well with gold? 😍😍😍 did you pick up any of the Essie bridal polishes? I’m still hoping to stumble across Happy Wife Happy Life in the clearance bins! I love red, and the name is too cute as it’s what my fiancé always says to me. 💗

Inspired by Wonder Woman (v. 2)

 You might remember last Summer, I did some Wonder Woman inspired nails. Let’s. just call this take two. 🌟 
  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI My Chihuahua Bites! 
  • Sinful Colours Endless Blue
  • QUO by ORLY Gold striping polish 
  • QUO by ORLY Black striping polish. 
  • Seche Vite.  

I created my chevron moons freehand.  I really need to create a tutorial to show you guys how I do it! It’s so simple and so much easier than taping everything off! (For me at least). Would you guys want a tutorial? Just let me know in the comments below! 💙❤️

 
So what do you think of this mani? I’ve coveted My Chihuahua Bites! for so long and I’m so happy it’s finally mine! Thank you Winners and your fantastic polish section.   And also this blue…. This blue. 😍😍😍 such a pretty blue! Now all I need is a star tiara and some bullet proof bracelets and I’ll be all set! 

Happy Friday Lovelies! 😘
