Simple Sunday Dotticure. 

The other day I was at my local Winners and discovered a new (to me) polish brand: Orchid! I’ve never heard of this brand before, but as they had a 7 pack on sale for $5 I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try it out. 

  
The colours I used for this manicure were: 

  • Orchid Nail Polish Teal Me a Secret 
  • Orchid Nail Polish Steel Guitar
  • Butter London Matte top coat. 

This mani was in part inspired by a recent manicure by @polishandbeyond who posted a matte teal mani that I was just in love with. What is it about matte nails that just scream perfection? 

Have a fantastic Sunday loves! ☕️

Matte swirl accent nails. 

January is leaving me a little slack on inspiration, leaving my nail designs feeling a little random. Today’s mani is inspired by a manicure I did back on Thanksgiving, only using a different colour scheme.  

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon manicure in Trouble Maker. 
  • Color Club Dirty Money
  • OPI Altar Ego 
  • Essie Good to Go top coat. 
  • Butter London Matte Top coat. 
  • Small nail art brush purchased from Born Pretty. 

 
What do you find yourself wearing most often in the early months of the year. I can’t wait to start playing around with some Valentines Day designs! Only a month away! 💗

It’s all about Christmas on my nails lately, and I was lucky enough to get to team up with Jessica from @mynailpolish_addiction! We went with a mani originally by @cocoasnailss. 

   

The Polishes used for my mani were:

  • China Glaze For Audrey 
  • OPI Pink-ing Of You

I just love the combo of the blue with the polka dots then the Candy Canes. I’m having fun coming up with new Christmas designs this year!

Mani swap with @armstrongnails

 

I was lucky enough to partner with @armstrongnails  on a mani swap! I always have fun swapping with others–it’s exciting to try out someone else’s brain for a mani! Amber has some amazing manicures to chose from, but in the end I had to chose her patterned nails to recreate. The holo accent just sold me!  
 
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Sally Hansen Big Teal
  • L’oreal Holographic Pearls
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in White
  • Seche Vite 

I love this mani so much! From the sparkle to the herringbone pattern it’s just perfection! 

If you’re not already following @armstrongnails on Instagram, you definitely should be!
