Freehand triangle accent nails. 

I’ve wanted to create a mini triangle patterned nails for a while now, but I’m no good with striping tape! So I decided to give them a try with my striping polish! My freehanding has been getting better with practice so I’m very happy with how these turned out. 

   
The polishes I used for this manicure were: 

  • Yves Saint Laurent Nail Lacquer in Violine Surrealiste 
  • Yves Saint Laurent Nail Lacquer in Violet Baroque
  • Essie Mochacino
  • Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low
  • QUO by ORLY striper in White
  • Seche Vite 

 

  

What do you think of this mani? I absolutely adore how my triangles turned out! I wore this mani for a full two days which almost never happens. I would have kept it on another day but they started to chip thanks to work (darn stock days…). I will definitely be trying this design again soon!

Tribal accent nails featuring Essence Lets Get Lost! 

I’ve been a little lost on nail art inspiration lately so I decided to go with one of my favourite nail art designs–tribal! I’ve always loved Aztec inspired nails, and so the other night when I couldn’t come up with any manicure ideas I decided to pull an old favourite out of my back pocket! 

  
  

The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Essence Lets Get Lost! 
  • Hard Candy Coconut
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in Bubblegum Pink
  • Essence Nothing but Lovestoned
  • QUO by ORLY nail art striper in black.
  • QUO by ORLY nail art striper in white.
  • OPI My Favourite Ornament 
  • ACO by Ardene Just Saying 
  • Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

  
   
So what do you think of this manicure? I forgot how awesome Essence Lets Get Lost! is. The formula has never let me down, and after owning it for two years it still goes on perfectly. 💙

Simple gold stripes over pink. 

 Good morning lovelies! 

Hope you’re enjoying your Wesnesday. Here in Halifax it’s been pretty darn hot… Which normally I wouldn’t complain about but our air conditioning at work has been broken a couple weeks so it’s been a little rough. Thank goodness for maxi dresses and Iced Coffee! 

You know what else makes up for super hot Summer days… Nail polish! I recently picked up a few pretty Essie polishes  on some awesome deals ($3.99) which I can never say no to! 

  
Today’s mani features the super pretty Brides No Grooms. As soon as I spied this pretty reddish pink hiding in the clearance bin, I knew I had to own it! I decided to compliment it with some simple gold stripes created using my QUO by ORLY Striper in Gold. The topped everything with a nice coat of Seche to seal everything in. 

 
Is there anything that doesn’t go well with gold? 😍😍😍 did you pick up any of the Essie bridal polishes? I’m still hoping to stumble across Happy Wife Happy Life in the clearance bins! I love red, and the name is too cute as it’s what my fiancé always says to me. 💗

Floral obsessed! featuring Claire’s Mood Polish. 

 Good morning lovelies! Today I’ve got another floral mani to share with you! I’ve been turning to floral A LOT lately and playing around with different looks. 

  

The base colour I used for this mani is one of Claire’s Mood polishes which is a blue with hidden shimmer that shifts between dark blue when cold and lighter blue when hot. I’m a huge fan of these thermal polishes — I just love them! My only (only) complaint is I wish they didn’t chip so easily! You may notice the little chip of my middle finger which I got from sleeping. 😞 
 

My floral was created super simple using my dotting tools and an assortment of blue, pink and yellow polishes and all topped with Seche Vite.
