Black and White striping tape mani. 

 I’ve expressed my issues with striping tape before… I’m not very good with it. But I’ve been trying to practice with it more (okay my straight nail vinyls have disappeared…) so I pulled it out to play with. 

  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original formula)
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • Icing Steel My Heart 
  • Essie Good to Go 
  • Striping Tape from Icing. 
  • Sally Hansen Nail Art Studs.

Floral accent nail featuring China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le

Good morning lovelies. Hope the weather is beautiful where you are. 

Here in Halifax, Mother Nature is playing a nasty late April Fools joke on us and has been giving us weather better suited to Early March!  So what better what to combat the chill then with some pretty floral? 🌻

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI 
  • Unnamed Cosmetic Arts Peach polish 
  • Unnamed Cosmetic Arts Pink polish.

Have I mentioned how ready for Spring I am?! Really, really ready. The weather may not be agreeing, but at least these nails can help me play pretend for a while. 🌸

Retro abstract Stripes. 

So I think retro abstract stripes are my new favourite. They’re so easy to do and there are so many colour options. This mani was inspired by my brand new Spring tank top from Ardene

Is this not the cutest shirt ever? 🍍And it goes so perfectly with my nails! I hope I’m not the only one who matches her nails to her outfits! 

Pink and Purple half moons. 

Anyone else so excited for Spring?! I definitely am. Although we’re getting some less than pleasant weather (snow in April? 😧) I thought I’d embrace some bright colours. And it’s been a while since I wore a half moon mani, so I thought it would be fun to pull out a few of my favourite bright colours. 

   
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Color Club Pucci-licious 
  • China Glaze Purple Panic 
  • Essie Good to Go 
  • Paper Hole reinforcers 

   
What colours are you loving for Spring? 🌷

Spring-y Floral 

Is anyone else seriously ready for Spring?! I definitely am. This winter hasn’t been nearly as rough as last year, but I am still so ready for Winter to be over. In honour of that Spring feeling, I thought I’d pull out some brighter colours. 

I was at Shoppers the other day with the hubby, and he picked me out Essie Chillato to add to the stash, which is a pale pistachio green and nothing like anything I have in my stash. I’m not usually into greens, but I’m seriously digging this colour. And since I’m trying to break out of my comfort zone, what’s a better colour to do it with! 

And since I was going with such a fresh Spring-y colour, I thought some floral was in order.  

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Essie Chillato
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in purple
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in green 
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in magenta 
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in turquoise
  • Essie Good to Go 

Oh yes, bring in the floral. It’s been a long winter, and I’ve missed playing around with my floral manis. I’m also kind of obsessed with my Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pens again. I forgot how easy they are to use to create fun designs! I have a feeling I might be adding more to the stash come next pay day! 
Anyone else craving Spring as much as I am? What are you wearing on your nails lately?
