Neon polka dots. 

I’m kind of over snow and winter, so I decided to go with something bright and colourful on the nails. I decided to play around with some of my favourite bright and neon colors. 

   
 
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI (white base colour)
  • Color Club Disco Dress
  • Essie Strut Your Stuff
  • Sinful Colors Dream On 
  • Essie Good to Go top coat 
  • Smaller size and Larger size dotting tools. 

What do you wear on your nails when the January blahs take effect? 

Layla Thermo Polish Effects No.5

I’ve written before about my love of thermal nail polishes, and so I thought I would share this mani I did using Layla Thermo Polish Effects No.5. This one of the Layla Thermo Polish Effects I picked up on clearence at Lawtons Drugs and probably my favourite of all the thermals/”mood” polishes I own. 

   

For this mani, I used Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Lo for my base, and applied right angle chevron vinyls from My Nails Did when the polish was completely dry. I applied my Layla polish over top of each nail–one base coat, and then a second coat. After each second coat was applied, I immediately removed each vinyl. Using a Stripe Rite striper in pink, I applied a small freehand chevron to the top of each of my chevrons and then sealed everything in with top coat.  

 
Top picture show how Layla Thermo Effects looks when hot (pink) and cold (purple) and in the bottom picture you can see the transition between the two. So wicked!

I’m not sure if any of the Layla Thermo Polish Effects are still available, but if you ever stumble across any–definitely pick some up! You will not be disappointed. 

Blingy accent nail. 

Good morning lovelies! Today I’ve got another manicure to share featuring the multi-sized crystals I was sent for review by Born Pretty (item #21586). 

 
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm?
  • L’oreal Magic Top Coats The Holographic
  • Essie Gel Setter top coat. 
  • Born Pretty Rhinestones item #21586 

I love these little rhinestones. They’re so easy to pick up with just a damp nail art brush, and I don’t have to worry about dropping them in the bed when doing my nails (which I always seem to do haha). 

Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday! Halifax is currently bracing for ANOTHER winter storm, so I have that to look forward to at work! ❄️☃ 

Enjoy your weekend! 

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! 💗

 

Rose and Diamond nails featuring rhinestones from Born Pretty

 Good morning! Today I’ve got another manicure featuring an item sent to me for review by Born Pretty

 We’ve got some serious snow happening here in good ole Halifax so what better to wear on my nails than floral! And I thought these beautiful irredescent rhinestones (item #21586) would perfectly compliment my roses. 

  
Each little bin comes with 130 little stones of varying sizes. For this manicure I went with the smallest of the 3. I really love using studs and stones in my nail art as accents, and I’m very impressed with how easy these were to pick up and apply. The stones themselves are very light in weight so all I used to pick them up was a damp nail art brush. I then just put them in place over some wet top coat, then sealed everything in with another coat of top coat! Easy peasy. 

 The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Grey Area 
  • China Glaze Chit-Chat
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI
  • Sinful Colors Aubergine 
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Giant Peach. 
  • Essie Good to Go top coat. 
  • Large size dotting tool
  • Small nail art brush
