Chevron Moons featuring Essie Lounge Lover And Pool Side Service. 

Good Morning Darlings!

I don’t know about where you are, but Spring finally seems to be hitting Halifax! So in honour of that, I’m sharing this mani using a couple of polishes from Essie’s Spring 2016 collection.

 I was at my local Lawtons the other night, and found a huge display of Essie on clearence for $2.54 each… So naturally I bought 6! I couldn’t wait to play around with my new polishes, so I grabbed some vinyls from MyNailsDid and created some Springy chevron moons. 

The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Essie Lounge Lover
  • Essie Pool Side Service
  • Essie Peach Daiquiri
  •  ORLY Scenic Route
  • Essie Gel Setter 
  • MyNailsDid nail vinyls (chevrons)

What’s your favourite Spring 2016 polish so far? I absolutely need to find Shades On from this collection… Such a pretty purple! 💜 have a great day lovelies.

Colour blocking sideways chevrons (inspired by @lenareitz)

Good Evening! 

I’ve had a busy day so I’m big late on posting, but I really wanted to share this colour blocking mani because I just love how it turned out! I was inspired by @lenareitz who posted a negative space sideways colour block that was just stunning.

   
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI!
  • China Glaze Jungle Queen
  • Essie Where’s my Chauffeur?
  • Essie Good to Go
  • My Nails Did Right Angle Chevron nail vinyls. 


I just love that pop of turquoise against the purples. I also debated making these matte but love how they look with gloss. 

 I’m trying to play around with new designs and styles to keep things different! Only so many ways you can do chevron moons haha.

 If you have any suggestions for manicure ideas, let me know in the comments below! I’m currently saving some fun Valentines ideas to tackle!

I just can’t get enough… Chevron nails. 

 Anyone else remember the days of freehanding my chevrons that were sort of lopsided (but don’t get me wrong–I’m still super proud I even did them!) 

Thank goodness for nail vinyls–they make nail art so crazy easy. I’ve been playing around with then a lot lately and found Kiss Products Design Perfection Tip Guides at Wal-Mart for something like $1.99. I love trying new products so I decided to pick them up. They come with 4 different styles per sheet–moon, chevron, zig zag and French manicure. I’ve used the chevrons a couple times, but this was my first time trying out the zig zag vinyls. 

  
The products I used for this manicure were:

  • Essie Brides No Grooms
  • Essie Tuck it in My Tux
  • Essie Shine of the Times
  • China Glaze Sleeping Under the Stars
  • Essie Good to Go
  • Kiss Products Design Perfection Tip Guides
  • Sally Hansen I Love Nail Art Studs

 
I’m super sad Shine of the Times didn’t really show up. If I had been thinking I would have used it over both Tuck it in My Tux and Sleeping Under the Stars. Also how cute are these little studs from Sally Hansen?! Picked up their nail art studs set on sale at Shoppers and I’ve been having fun playing with them. They’re just so itty bitty.
