Springy Floral Skittle (using new Madam Glam polishes🌸)

*contains PR/Gifted Product

Hello lovelies, & happy Friday!

I swear that this isn’t just a floral blog now, but I’ll be honest — I’m really loving doing all sorts of floral designs right now. So it’s what I have to share with you! I did these nails a few weeks ago, before I had another nail break, & I think they turned out so pretty.

I used all of the beautiful Madam Glam nail polishes I was gifted as they are all stunning Spring shades.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Madam Glam Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Madam Glam Top Coat *
  • Madam Glam Purple Rain *
  • Madam Glam Pastel Love *
  • Madam Glam Spring Breeze *
  • Madam Glam Minty Green *
  • Madam Glam Warm Up *
  • Madam Glam Mimi Pink *
  • Madam Glam Birds Fairy *
  • Madam Glam Sweet Sunshine *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*gifted/PR

I’m obsessed with how beautiful these Spring-y shades are. Madam Glam also has the whole collection as a bundle available on their website! I’ve been really impressed with the formula on these nail polishes — so smooth, which you really want when applying pastels.

Also these little accent flowers make me so happy.

What do you think about my pastel floral skittle? Do you love these shades for Spring? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

I really like this combination. I think it looks so pretty, romantic & vintage looking. It actually reminds me of a design I did early in this blogs life which was totally unintentional, but I nice throwback — even if those ones were “Fall floral” & these ones are giving me a Spring vibe.

Let’s be honest — it doesn’t matter the season, floral is always a good idea.

What do you think of this look? I’m not sure what designs I’m really craving as we approach Spring; I’ve been feeling very uninspired. I’d love to know what designs or colours you’d like to see coming up! I’m always open to suggestions.

Enjoy your Wednesday

Pink & Purple Stained Glass Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Friday.

I won’t lie — this has been an incredibly difficult week personally. But I’m pushing through, because if one thing painting my nails (& blogging) does, is it helps my mental health. & pretty nails always make me happy.

Today’s look was a quick stained glass look I did the other night featuring Essie. I’ve been wearing a lot of the Essie in my stash lately! They just have such a beautiful variety of colours to choose from.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Essie Flowerista
  • Essie Swoon in the Lagoon
  • Essie Expressie Choreo Queen *pr
  • Quo by Orly Striper in black
  • Small dotting tool (to fill in) NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio

I think these turned out so pretty. I love these colours together. Pink & purple are always my favourite colours to combine. & I think this is such a pretty Spring-y combination — that isn’t floral. Don’t get me wrong, I love floral (& I have a ton of floral to come!)

What do you think about this geometric look? Would you wear a design like this? Let me know in tbe comments below what you think.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Christmas Plaid

Hello loves & happy Monday! It’s a sunny albeit chilly Monday here. Definitely feeling like December — although a sprinkling of snow might have been nice. But today is the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December, & it is Christmas plaid.

I’m not 100% sure what a Christmas plaid is, though I would assume one done in your typical Christmas colours would make sense. So that’s what I did for today’s look! & they are certainly feeling Christmas-y.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Santee Magnetic Nail Polish Sandburst
  • Essie Bordeaux*
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • NailStuff Essentials White Dove *
  • Quo by Orly Black Striper
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • Largest size from NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

*PR/gifted

Ooooh I love how these look. I tried to give this magnetic shade a velvet finish. Honestly think I might have to invest in one of those fancy U-shaped magnets in the new year if I’m going to be playing with my magnet shades more frequently.

I love the hold with the plaid pattern over top, as opposed to using the gold as an accent.

What do you think about my Christmas plaid nails? Are you a fan of this look? Let me know all your thoughts on this look, & if it feels Christmas-y to you.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Christmas Lights

This week has been a rough one for painting my nails & getting them posted. I’ve had a never ending headache/migraine. Plus my holiday vibes are nonexistent this year. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it doesn’t feel like almost Christmas to me.

But! I did get the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December created which was Christmas Lights. This was inspired by a look I saw on Pinterest & thought was neat. So I decided to do my own twist 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 *
  • Essie Nail Art Studio Mystic Marine*
  • Essie Frilly Lillies*
  • Essie Life’s A Beach
  • Essie Offbeat Chic *
  • Essie Making Spirits Bright
  • Quo by Orly Black Striper
  • NailStuff 4mm Micro Detail Brush

*PR/gifted

I really tried to do some kind of peakaboo snowflakes with Making Spirits Bright but they’re more hidden than I was planning on. The sparkle does look really pretty in person though.

What do you think about these Christmas light nails? Did I honour the inspiration well?
