Bestie Twin Nails with @jazzynailedit

Good morning loves! I had the opportunity to do another Bestie Twin Nails manicure with one of my very talented fellow nail artists @jazzynailedit! We created a floral based on a manicure originally done by @justagirlandhernails, just gave it a Fall spin! 

  
Aren’t Jasmine’s flowers amazing?! You should definitely check out here page if your on Instagram! Her nails are always impeccable! 

 
For my version of this manicure, the polishes I used were:

  • ACO by Ardene Day Dreamer 
  • OPI Just BeClaus 
  • China Glaze High Hopes 
  • Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow 
  • Seche Vite

I created all my little flowers using a small dotting tool which was surprisingly easier than I thought it was going to be! 

   


What do you think of this Fall mani?  I’ve been trying to come up with new seasonal manicure inspiration! I’m just really excited to start Halloween manicures! 

Have a great day loves!

Matte Chevron Moons

What are your favourite Fall colours? For me I tend to reach towards your Navy blues, deep maroons and dark purples. And matte top coat! Ohhhhh I’m so Matte obsessed right now. 

It had been a while since I’d worn any kind of moon manicure–my favourite go to when lacking inspiration–so I decided on a pretty combination of some Fall beauties.  

   

The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Nicole by OPI Shoot for the Maroon
  • Essie After School Boy Blazer
  • Stripe Rite  Striper in Gold 
  • Seche Vite 
  • L’oreal The Matte Velvet matte top coat. 

Shoot for the Maroon was a recent buy (the husband picked it out) and holy amazingness when Matte! It’s pretty normally but add some Matte top coat and it’s a whole other level! I love it! 

  

  
Also I can’t stop obsessing about Essie After School Boy Blazer–it is by far my favourite Navy. I need to try it out with my ACO by Ardene Crystal Fog because I think the combination would be incredible!

Subtle Dotticure. 

Good morning fabulous people and happy Friday! Today I have a subtle dotticure featuring a couple more Essie favourites. 

I picked up Frock N’Roll from the Essie  Fall 2015 collection the other week. I hadn’t worn it yet, so when I finally put it on I was trying to figure out what to pair this gorgeous polish! You can never go wrong with a dotticure, so I grabbed Essie Coat Couture and a small dotting took and created this vampy Fall look. 

  
 
I love how this looks. From fall away it just looks like dark nails, but when you get up close you see the lighter grey dots. Coat Couture just goes so well with Frock N’Roll–I love it! 

   
 
I’m all about the Dark Fall colours. I want them all! I thought I would be more drawn towards Essie Bell Bottom Blues from the fall collection but nope! This is the real winner. 😍 what do you think? Have you found this beauty yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! 💗

More Fall Tribal (featuring OPI)

Happy first day of Fall! 

Can you believe it… Summer is officially over! I’ve been in a Fall state of mind since Mid-August and craving all things dark, cosy and pumpkin spice! 🎃

You know what else I love? Tribal Print! I wore this Fall toned tribal print the other day, and love how they turned out! Even better? They were surprisingly easy to do thanks to my striping polishes. 

  

The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • OPI Sleigh Parking Only 
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI 
  • Stripe Rite in Gold
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in Bubblegum Pink 
  • QUO by ORLY striping polish in Black 

They turned out better than I ever could have imagined. The thing I love so much about Tribal Print manicures is that they turn out so unique everytime! 

   
 

What do you thing of this mani? Let me know in the comments below! 

I’ve really been digging pulling out all my dark and vampy Fall colours (especially quite a few untrieds such as OPI Sleigh Parking Only). I just love this dark maroon with the pop of pink!

Essie Dive Bar 

 I’ve been dreaming about Essie Dive Bar ever since I saw it at Shoppers two years ago on clearance, and didn’t buy it. When I went back to get it because I had to have it it was gone. And I was sad. 

Thank goodness for Marshalls. A few weeks back I spotted it and suffice to say–it’s MINE! And I love it so much. 

  

 Started off with two coats of perfection (aka Dive Bar) and topped with top coat. I should have taken a picture but whoops! After it was dry, I grabbed my gold Stripr Rite striper and created a few geometric stripes.  I then Sealed everything in  with top coat again, and then thought “I bet this would look beautiful mattified”. I had to  grab my L’oreal The Matte Velvet top coat and… 😍. You can see the end result. 

Even more perfection! Is there anything that matte top coat doesn’t make more beautiful?! 

  

 

I even (unintentionally!) matched my dress to my nails because I’m cool like that.   
 
What is #1 polish on your I Need To Own That list? Now that I finally own Dive Bar I’ll need to find a new one! I’ve been on a serious quest for Essie Bell Bottom Blues from their Fall collection and it keeps slipping out of my grasp! I want it so bad! Let me know yours in the comments! 

Have a lovely day! 💗
