Good morning lovelies & happy Sunday! It’s a beautiful chilly Sunday here. November is definitely in full swing. Today I have a long awaited swatch post to share with you. I originally had planned to share it last week, but I was super sick so I wasn’t up to blogging of any kind. So, without any further a due: The Ella + Mila Enchanted collection (B).

Good morning lovelies. I hope everyone is feeling okay-ish this morning. I know things are feeling pretty down for a lot of people right now so I’m sending love.
Today I’m sharing an easy November look. One of the things I feel myself drawn to this time of year is jewel tones. Even though I’m not feeling full on holiday nails quite yet, I do enjoy holiday nail polishes from years past. So I thought I would combine a few fun ones from years past into a gorgeous skittle.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
How gorgeously do these polishes compliment each other? I feel like I’m always trying to create the perfect skittle look, & finally feel like this one is it! The jewel tones, the added glitter. It just all came so together so perfectly — probably why I’ve been wearing this look for over 4 days! See

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! & a chilly Wednesday at that. October is really speeding along, isn’t it?
Today I’m excited because I recently received some PR from Essie & they were more than generous sending me 25 polishes (!!!) from their regular line, Expressie line & Gel Couture line. Happy early birthday to me. So naturally, as soon as I received these shades I had to grab a few to do my nails with! & since it’s been a while since I rocked them, I decided to test out some new polishes with a little abstract stripe action.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Oh man, I’m so excited by new nail polish — it’s actually hard to convey via blog post, but expect to see a lot of Essie manicures over the next little while. There are some shades I received that I can’t wait to swatch for you!
What do you think about this Autumn abstract stripe design? Are you as excited for some fun Essie manicures to come? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.
Happy Wednesday

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
I’m feeling rested from having the whole weekend off work, & ready to take on another week. Now it’s time to ready for (Canadian) Thanksgiving next weekend! Maybe I’ll sneak in some kind of Thanksgiving themed nail design sometime this week.
Today, though I’m sharing a super easy Fall design with you all. It’s been a while since I rocked a skittle look, so I thought I would pull out a few Autumn-esque Essie polishes for a quick skittle look!
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
How well do these shades pair together? I always find that’s my struggle when I’m trying to create a skittle look, is finding the shades that look best together. I think this collection of shades really flatter, & I love it. The colours are slightly muted, with a few bits of shimmer thrown in. I’m actually obsessed with how well they go together!
What do you think of this Essie Fall Skittle look? It’s like an Autumn rainbow!
Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below, & I hope everyone had a lovely start to their week.

Good morning lovelies, & happy Monday! I hope you had a beautiful weekend, & got to enjoy something fun. Today, I’m continuing with my Glam Nails Challenge September posts, & the next prompt is Fox. 🦊
Now, animal designs have never felt like my strong suit, but the more I wore this look, the more the design grew on me. & considering I went into these unsure what I was even really doing, I must say I’m happy with the end result.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
I was feeling a little self conscious about these nails when I wore them to work, but I got two compliments on them so that definitely made me feel a bit better!
Like I said, animal themed nails are not my strong suit, but doing this challenge is all about challenging myself to get out of my comfort zone. So, I can’t let myself get scared by nail art I’m not used to. I’m really proud of my little foxes, even if they’re not “perfect”.
What do you think of this design for this prompt of Glam Nails Challenge September? Do you like my little fox? What nail designs do you find the most intimidating? Let me know down in the comments below!
