Holo Spider Webs 🕸️

*contained pr

Happy Halloween!

I have one more Halloween nail art look to share with you, & this one is an easy to recreate one! I decided on some holo spider webs — the only kind of spider webs I will entertain.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Kimono Over
  • Ella + Mila Zephyr *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*gifted

How cute are these holographic spider webs? & as someone who is fairly arachnophobic, I feel like me calling anything involving spiders is pretty huge. Ella + Mila Zephyr is a great silver hill, & makes some beautiful lines for this design. I’m a fan!

What do you think of my holographic spider webs? Do you like this design? Let me know what you think, & what Halloween treat you’ll be snacking on tonight!

Have a fun & safe Halloween loves. 🎃

Look at his little flower crown! The cutest little ghosty ever.

I’m so happy with how these turned out. Once again I ran out of time to do as many Halloween designs as I wanted, but that’s okay. I’m still super in love with all the Halloween looks I’ve created this year.

What do you think about my ghost design? Would you wear these cutie pie ghosts? Let me know what you think of my Halloween nails, & what design you would wear on your nails.

Happy Wednesday

Silly Jack-o-Lanterns 🎃

Hello loves & happy Tuesday!

I’m continuing on with my fun Halloween looks with another freehand design. I attempted a cute Jack o Lantern look… & this is how it turned out haha. This is definitely not my best freehand design, but I still think it’s super cute (& a good easy look for someone to do.)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Tangerine Dream
  • Ella + Mila Aurora Lights *
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Quo by ORLY striper in black
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*PR/gifted

My thumb is definitely my favourite of my nails! It turned out how I wish the rest of the nails looked. It was my own fault though, as I used my Quo striper & it’s gotten a bit thick with use. Either way, it’s a fun Halloween look & that’s what this week is all about. 🎃

What do you think about these Jack o Lantern nails? Do you think this look is cute? Would you wear a pumpkin look like this? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below & tell me what your Halloween costume is this year!

Enjoy your Tuesday

Frankenstein’s Monster French Manicure 🧟‍♀️

*contains PR

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! I hope everyone’s week is going well so far. Today I’m sharing another perfect Halloween manicure to get us ready! This look was partially inspired by @polished_yogi & a recent post featuring Halloween designs — but I decided to take my own spin on it.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Matte Top Coat: NailStuff Essentials Matte Top Coat *
  • Essie Expressie Main Character Moment *
  • Quo By Orly Black Striper

*gifted

I love the look of French manicures on other people, but I’ve never been able to make them look good on me. If someone knows the trick to making them look so good, I would love to know. However, I do think these are probably the best looking French nails I’ve ever attempted, & they’re fun too!

I do a version of Frankenstein’s monster nails every year, so it’s fun to try & keep it fresh. I only wish I had thought to add some glow in the dark nail polish over my tips because I did the black stitching because it would have looked really cool. Oh well, always next time!

What do you think of these Halloween-y nails? Do you like this stitched up French manicure look? Let me know what you think down in the comments below!

Happy Thursday!

Happy Birthday Waterfall Nails 💖🧁💅

*includes PR

Hello lovelies & happy Tuesday. & happy day after Canadian Thanksgiving. I’m sure my fellow Canadians are also feeling the post-holiday food coma.

Today is my birthday, so I wanted to do some special nails for the occasion. & when thinking about what nail polish I wanted to wear, there was only one that came to mind: Cadillacquer Lavender Sunset — the NailStuff exclusive shade released earlier this year. & I finally tried layering it over a darker base, which I’ve been meaning to try for a while & it looks absolutely spectacular!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat
  • Cadillacquer Lavender Sunset
  • OPI Infinite Shine Mariachi Makes My Day (layered under Lavender Sunset)
  • NailStuff Essentials Holographic Top Coat
  • Essie Nail Art Studio Cosmic Chrome
  • Essie Separated Starlight
  • Essie Birthday Girl
  • Quo by Orly Black Striper
  • Nailstuff Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

So, with full disclosure, this was not originally the design I had planned for my birthday nails. I saw a cool manicure online that I loved, but apparently when I went back to find it… I had forgotten to save it. So when I attempted it from memory… things did not turn out the way I planned.

This was actually design attempt #4… maybe #5. I’ll be honest… I lost count.

But you know after all the hassle & frustration, I actually love how these ended up looking! So I guess it was all worth it. When all else fails, pull out some sparkly polishes & create a fun waterfall look!

What do you think of these birthday nails? Would you wear this sparkly waterfall look?

Let me know what you think! & have a beautiful day.
