Emoji Inspired Nails 💋💗🌈🌸 (Easy Nail Art)

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! It’s hot, sunny & beautiful lately & feels just like the kind of Summer days I like.

Today I’m sharing a new manicure & a bit of a nail art hack. I’ve posted before about my absolute love of nail art stickers.

Recently I was in my local Dollarama & found these massive sheets of small foil emoji inspired stickers for $1.25 & thought they would be perfect for stick on earrings for my daughter. But then I realized they were the perfect size to potentially work for nail art stickers & so naturally I bought 2.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Here to Stay
  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter
  • China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely
  • China Glaze Everglaze Optimal Opal
  • Dollarama Small Foil Emoji Stickers

Okay I’m really really impressed with how easily these stuck to my nails, & adhered to my already dry base. They were fairly flexible & easy to stick on the nail, or adjust slightly if needed. I used tweezers to pull them from my sheet, & attach them to my nails, & most of the stickers I picked were easy to apply.

For removal, it was just as easy to take off. I did have a few stickers which were lifting by the end of the day, but that could be avoided with a thicker top coat.

Over all, I think these stickers were perfect for easy nail art at a great low price. Obviously, I want to support small businesses that sell nail art stickers, but times are tough right now, & I think everyone deserves to have beautiful nails so if you can find cute stickers to use on your nails at an affordable price — you should totally take advantage of it!

Would you want me to do a post featuring other Dollar Store items I’ve found for doing your nails? Let me know down in the comments below!

Happy Thursday!

Half Moons & Nail Art Stickers

Good morning lovelies & happy Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful week! It’s almost the weekend, which is looking to be wet & rainy. Not so much fun for summer. But I have a fun, bright Summery look to share with you!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Here to Stay
  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter
  • Essie Swoon in the Lagoon
  • Essie In The Cab-ana
  • Assorted nail art stickers (including some from Olive & June)

Okay, I’ll be honest — I’m not a 100% sure how I feel about this look. I love my half moons, because I always love a good half moon design, but I’m not sure how I feel about the addition of my little nail art stickers. I’m not sure if they mesh together, or clash, but I really wanted to do something different.

What do you think about this sticker half moon design? I’m really trying to come up with newer nail art designs, but after 10 years of this blog, I’m getting a bit stuck on what to do. Maybe I should break out my stamping plates again, & see what fun patterned nails I can come up with!

Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend!

Easy Christmas Party Nails (with NailStuff.ca)

Contains PR/gifted product from NailStuff.ca

Good morning & happy Thursday! I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their day. It’s windy, cold, & icy here — so I’m probably going to skate to work!

I know I don’t usually post on Thursdays, but I decided I wanted to try & squeeze in a few more manicures before Christmas! Today’s look is a super simple one, using another set of nail art stickers I received from NailStuff.ca.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Dimension Nails Pygmy Sloth (c/o: NailStuff.ca) — such a good shade for Christmas
  • NailStuff.ca Merry Christmas (Gold & White) Nail Art Sticker

First off… yes my nails are super short again. I have a break on my thumb down super low, so I had to trim it down to avoid disaster, so I trimmed them all down for a fresh start. I swear, the same thing happened this exact same time last year too.

But HOW CUTE are these stickers?! I thought this gold & white set would be perfect over my red base, & I was right! These are perfect for last minute party nails, or any occasion for a little extra pizazz (without a lot of extra time!)

Stay warm today! 🖤

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER—Poinsettia

Contains PR/gifted product from NailStuff.ca

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. I’m excited today because not only do I have the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December to share, but it’s featuring some goodies from my favourite nail art site NailStuff.ca!

She recently added some new nail art stickers to her site for Christmas. I’ve used her stickers a ton, so I knew I needed to added some fun Christmas ones to my stash. & Victoria was so kind as to send me 6 new sheets of nail art stickers to play with!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

How cute are these little poinsettia stickers?!

I was so happy these arrived in time for me to be able to use them for this prompt. I already had my nails painted with this base colour (Dimension Nails Hooded Seal topped with Starrily Space Debris) so it was super easy just to pop these stickers on top of my existing manicure! & once I topped them with top coat, you couldn’t even tell they were stickers.

What do you think about these poinsettia nails for Glam Nails Challenge December? Are you enjoying the manicures so far? Are you a fan of nail art stickers for quick & easy nail art?

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER — Reindeer 🦌🎄

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday!

It’s a snowy, snowy Wednesday here on the East Coast — very festive & perfect for this time of year. I really want to go drive around & look at Christmas lights. But today, I’m keeping with my Glam Nails Challenge December manicures with the next prompt: reindeer. & I was super excited, because it finally gave me a chance to use some Christmas nail art stickers I recently picked up from my local Dollarama.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

So you might remember how obsessed with the Halloween stickers that I had picked up at my local Dollarama, so I was super pumped when I saw new Christmas nail art stickers. I knew these Reindeer stickers would be perfect for this prompt! They are just so cute. Sadly, they didn’t seem to hold up on the nail as well as my Halloween ones, but they did (mostly) last the day at work.

What do you think about these fun reindeer nails? Are you fan of nail art stickers for fun nail art looks? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below, & let me know what your favourite nail art sticker brand is! I’m always looking to add new ones to my stash.
