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.
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. ☀️

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.
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
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!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend so far. We celebrated my daughter’s birthday this weekend (her birthday is today) with a mermaid themed party, so it’s definitely been busy! But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have time to paint my nails for this weekend’s Swatch Sunday — especially since I received the most epic nail polish package from Essie on Friday! So obviously, I couldn’t let this weekend pass by without painting my nails with at least one colour!
Today’s pick: Essie Willow in The Wind from the Swoon in the Lagoon collection (I also received Swoon in the Lagoon & Frilly Lillies as well.) This colour is so out of my usual comfort zone, but I couldn’t get past how beautiful & unique this shade was, so I had to wear it first!
2 coats + top coat
I would describe this green as a kermit green, which is so far outside my usual go to shades, but there is something so vibrant & fresh about this shade! This is two coats, but the formula was pretty flawless, so I feel a bit like my second coat was more of a “comfort” coat than anything else — with the except of a few sparse spots that needed another coat. The wide brush on the Essie bottle made it easy to apply the polish to my whole nail in one quick swipe, which is always a good thing.
So squishy & lush! This is definitely going to be a part of my regular nail art arsenal for floral, because I feel like this is the perfect green for leaves! Is it a shade I’m going to wear on it’s own on the regular? Probably not. But as part of some nail art, I think it’s going to be amazing. & who knows… maybe I’m becoming a green girl!
Essie Willow in the Wind should be available anywhere Essie shades are available, including these online stores:
