Halloween Bestie Twin Nails with @25_sweetpea

 As part of #themedthursday on Instagram, @25_sweatpea and myself joined together for the graveyard prompt from some fun graveyard inspired nails! 

  


The polishes I used for this annicure were:

  • China Glaze Boho Blue
  • China Glaze X-Ta-Sea
  • QUO by ORLY striping polish. 
  • Seche Vite
  • L’oreal The Matte Velvet top coat. 

   
I’ve decided to participate in Themed Thursday’s for October to encourage myself to get out of my nail art comfort zone a little bit! I’m so happy with how my graveyard nails turned out! 

What do you think of my twin nails? Let me know in the comments below!

Polka Dot and Herringbone nails inspired by @thebasecoat. 

 I gave another pretty manicure to share inspired by one of my fellow nail artists in Instagram: @thebasecoat. She posted this herringbone and polka dot manicure a few weeks back and I thought it was so adorable I really wanted to recreate it! 

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were: 

  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Gunmetal
  • QUO by ORLY Striper in White 
  • China Glaze Rain Dance the Night Away.
  • Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original formula) 
  • Seche Vite 

   
What do you think of this mani? I got a ton of compliments at work when I wore it! 

I’m still getting used to my short nails but trying to make them feel pretty as much as possible!

Diamond accent nails. 

So as what usually happens every 6 months or so, I broke a nail. 😞 well technically I cracked my ring finger half way and knew it was going to break on me so preemptively trimmed them down. Either way, it’s back to nubs for this girl! 

So in order to keep my nails feeling pretty, I’ve been working extra hard on creating pretty nail art! 

   

 The polishes I used for this manicure were: 

  • OPI Miss You-neverse
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI 
  • Bourjois Paris Gold polish (can’t find a name) 
  • Revlon Cherries in the Snow
  • QUO by ORLY Striper in Black
  • Seche Vite  

  
What do you think if my diamond accent nails? How do you cope when you have a bad break? Let me know in the comments below!

Ask Me Anything

  
I’ve seen a few other ladies do this on Instagram so I thought it would be a fun idea to do a little Q&A!

 Feel free to ask me anything about nail art, nail polish or even life in general! You can pose your questions here, on Instagram, through my Facebook, or even via my email coffeeandnailpolish (@) gmail.com! 

I plan on posting my questions and answers come Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving)!  So if there was ever anything you wanted to ask me, this is your chance!

Purple and gold x-pattern nails. 

I’ve been seeing these x-pattern gradient nails popping up on Instagram a lot lately so I wanted to give them a try. Obviously striping tape wasn’t going to happen, so I decided to try freehanding them! 

   
The polishes I used for this manicure were: 

  • China Glaze Pondering
  • OPI Black Cherry Chutney 
  • Stripe Rite Striping Polish in Gold 
  • Seche Vite

 It took some serious patience to create the x-pattern, but I’m so happy (and SO proud) with how this mani turned out!
