Neon Dry Brush and Chevron moons. 

Good morning lovelies! Today I have a fun and bright and colourful dry brush to share with you. It’s finally starting to feel like Spring after the harshed winter, so I am all about the Spring colours now! 

 

Who doesn’t love a good dry brush! The polishes I used for this design were: 

  • OPI Angel with a Leadfoot (white base)
  • OPI Unfrost My Heart (silver)
  • OPI Muppets World Tour (glitter)
  • China Glaze purple panic, Plur-ple, shocking pink, for Audrey, and Flip Flop Fantasy (dry brush) 
  • Zoya Blu (dry brush)
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in Black (chevron moon) 
  • Seche Vite 

And my midi ring is from Kristalized Designs. 

     

Bring on the sunshine, bright colours and pretty dresses! So happy that Winter is finally over for good. So what are you wearing on your finger tips in honour of Spring? ☀️

Glittery half moons featuring NOPI polishes. 

  

The other night I visited my local Lawtons who have a large selection of their Nicole by OPI polishes on sale for $4.99–so naturally I needed to add a few to my stash. 

For the mani I used:

  • Nicole by OPI I’ll have the Salmon (peach)  
  • Nicole by OPI I lilac Gumdrops (purple)
  • Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment (extra glitter) 
  • Essence French Manicure top guides. 
  • Seche Vite Quick Dry top coat. 

I’m loving combining glitter and crepes in half moons/colour blocks lately. Plus you know how I feel about glitter. 💖💖💖

Pastel Half Moons. 

 Edit  

I’ve written before how much I love a good half moon mani—they’re easy and can change up a manicure quick. Also I love coming up with fun and different colour combinations! I really wanted to do a half moon where the moon was darker so I decided to give it a try. 

For this mani the polishes I used were: 

  • ACO by Ardene Sweet Tarts (pink textured polish) 
  • Essie Garden Variety (blue-ish half moon.) 
  • Sally Hansen Nail Art pen in Navy.  
  • Seche Vite quick dry top coat. 
  • Essence French Manicure tip guides. 

It was super easy to create this look. Paint your nails with your base colour, and apply quick dry top coat to speed up the process. When that is dry, you just put the guides a little above where you want your moon to go, and fill in the space with your darker colour and remove! Then I just took my Sally Hansen nail art pen and drew a small line between the two colours. And bam! You are done. 

     

What do you think of this mani? The Mr. says it reminds him of Easter. 🐰 I just love the Spring colours and how bright they are!

Abstract drybrush and polka dots. 

   

You know what I kind of love? Neon! 😎 especially neon polish. I wore this neon dry brush mani a couple weeks back for a full two day because I loved them so much! 

  

The polishes I used for this mani were: 

  • OPI Angel with a Lead Foot (white base)
  • ACO by Ardene Sorbet
  • ACO by Ardene Bright Lights, Big City 
  • Sinful Colors Boogie Nights 
  • Sinful Colors Hip to be Square 
  • Sally Hansen I Love Nail Art pen in black. 
  • Seche Vite quick dry top coat. 

 

I loved this mani so much–it’s one of the best dry brushes I’ve ever managed! And even more exciting it was featured by @craftyfingers on Instagram! 🙀 serious exciting moment in my nail blogging life!

Polka dots and studs. 

What’s your favourite go-to mani?! Mine is polka dots. Not only are they always stylish but I super quick and easy too! 

    

For this mani I started with a base colour of China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le. All it took was an itty bitty dotting tool and OPI Angel With A Lead Foot to create my polka dot pattern. After I had dotted the whole pattern in white, I went back using China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy and my Sally Hansen I Love Nail Art pen in Black to colour in some of the white dots in random places. Then I sealed the whole look in with quick dry top coat (I’ve been on a Seche Vite kick lately because it dries SO quick!) 

After I finished, I kind of felt like the mani was lacking a little, so I grabbed some of my gold studs purchased from Born Pretty Store (item number #8644). I applied them by dabbing dots of Seche Vite onto the base of my nail then used a damp nail art brush to pick up the studs and apply. Finished off everything with another coat of Seche Vite and done! I really feel like the studs gave my mani a little extra something so it wasn’t just another polka dot manicure. 

 

So tell me–what’s your favourite go to mani for when you need something quick and easy?
