Vacation Neon Ruffian Nails 💛💜

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I’m back from vacation, & very refreshed from my weekend away. We had a great time, & enjoyed a ton of time visiting family. Now it’s back to the real world, & I’m excited to show off the nails I chose to wear for our vacation. I had done an Instagram questionnaire wondering what nails I should wear for my vacation, & the biggest winner was neon yellow.

So I thought I would do a fun neon yellow ruffian for my vacation nails, & I’m just obsessed with how they turned out.

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 90s Toadally Buggin’ •pr/gifted•
  • Color Club Art Club Striper Passion Flower

Please excuse my dry cuticles, haha, as I took these photos after reaching our destination & hadn’t had a chance to reach for my cuticle pen. Even still, I think this look is such cute for a vacation mani! The purple of Color Club Passion Flower kind of went a bit grey against Toadally Buggin’ but that’s okay. I really like my little ruffian outlines, & this was the perfect nail art look for vacation.

Bright & colourful, which is just what I wanted!

Are you enjoying your Summer so far? I can’t believe how quickly September is approaching, & back to school. Crazy. & I can’t lie — I have definitely felt myself grabbing a few darker polishes lately without really thinking. I think the Autumn vibes are starting to seep in!

But I promise… I won’t go full Pumpkin Spice quite yet. I’ll still slip in a few Summery shades & manicures before then!

Have a fantastic Wednesday!

SWATCH SUNDAY — Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s Collection (& new Miracle Gel Top Coats)

•contains pr/gifted product•

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! I hope you’re ready, because I have quite the swatch heavy post ready for you today. As I’ve previously mentioned, I was gifted part of the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s collection, & I’m really excited to share these shades with you!

As a child of the 90s, this collection hits me right in the nostalgia. So I was pumped to be able to share these shades with you. The actual collection contains 8 funky 90s inspired shades, & I have 5 of them to share today! I was also lucky enough to receive two of the new Sally Hansen Miracle Gel special effects top coats, to add a little extra sparkle to your manicure.

These limited edition 90s shades can be found wherever you buy Sally Hansen. I’ve found them at my local Shoppers Drug Mart & Walmart stores — both in special edition displays.

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. ☀️

SWATCH SUNDAY — Olive & June Summer 2023

•pr•gifted•

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! Today I’m super excited because I have a brand new (to me) nail polish brand to share with you that was recently gifted to me.

Olive & June is a nail polish brand that sells both nail polish & press on nails. They have an extensive range of 15-free nail polishes in a ton of exciting colours, so I felt super blessed to be send their Summer box which contained everything I need for the perfect summer manicure. While I’ve used their nail art stickers before, I’ve never tried their nail polish!

The summer collection contains 6 polishes — 5 cream/crelly shades, & one shimmery topper.

Lush Green Dotticure 🌿💚

•PR/Gifted•

Hello loves & happy Tuesday! I know, a post on a Tuesday…. not my usual posting schedule. But the rain & grey has me all out of sorts, so I ended up skipping posting yesterday. I just was not feeling it.

I’m back today though, & I have a cute & easy dotticure to share with you featuring on of the new Essie shades I received recently. I’m still obsessing over this beautiful green Willow in the Wind & I decided to use it as the base for a luscious green dotticure. \

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Essie Off Tropic
  • Essie Blanc
  • NailStuff.ca small dotting tool (NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio)

Yes, I’m still obsessed with this green. I don’t know what it is about it — it’s just a very Summer-y green & I really love it. I haven’t yet had a chance to use it in a floral/cactus look yet — which I very much want to — but I thought it worked so well for this simple dotticure.

What do you think of this green dotticure? Are you a fan of Essie Willow in the Wind as much as I am? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & what you think about a simple dotticure!

Enjoy your Tuesday!
