Negative Space Colour Blocking. 

I’m in love with the Spring weather lately. And with all these warm days that means I need Bright colours on my nails. 

I’ve been killing Essie In The Cab-Ana a lot lately…. It’s just such a perfect blue. So I decided to grab it, and ORLY Scenic Route (from their Sprinng 2016 collection) to create a fun negative colour block! 

The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI My Point Exactly
  • ORLY Scenic Route
  • Essie In the Cab-Ana 
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in Paisley Blue
  • Essie Gel Setter 


This mani turned out even better than I had pictured in my head! I just love when that happens. I always forget how much can I love negative space nails until I wear them again! 

What’s your favourite polish/colour to wear this time of year?

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.

Hellos loves! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend. 

Sharing some more bright and colourful nails with you today! I’m all about the neon right now! It’s all my craving on my nails. It’s also giving me a chance to pull out more my MyNailsDid Nail Vinyls!  I’m back to being a wee bit nail vinyls obsessed… Again. Once we move I need to make a big order!

   

The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Color Club Pucci-licious
  • China Glaze Purple Panic
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI
  • Essence Lets Get Lost
  • OPI Life Gave Me Lemons
  •  Essie Gel Setter 
  • MyNailsDid X-pattern vinyls. 

Are you a fan of nails vinyls? Which ones are you obsessed with right now? Obviously chevrons have my heart, but you have no idea how much I want to get my hands on some of those kitty nail vinyls that I keep seeing around! They’re so amazing!

Freehand Tribal Accent Nails. 

I’ve been slacking on the blog front thanks to work stress and an impending move. No time to sit down and concentrate on blogging. Hopefully I’ll have more time soon, but in the mean time I thought I’d share some tribal. 

I love tribal/Aztec print… I might even almost love it more than floral. It’s been a while since I shared a tribal print mani, so I knew I needed to do some! I adore how these turned out. 

  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI Gelato on my Mind
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • Essie In the Cab-Ana
  • China Glaze Plur-ple
  • Essence Back in Black 
  • Essie Gel Setter 
  • Circle stickers from Dollarama
  • Born Pretty Store small detail nail art brush. 

   

Finally weather in Halifax is getting warm and Spring like! I can finally break out the Spring dresses… Even if I still need some tights for the mornings. Makes me excited for warm summer days and pretty bright nail polishes!

Black and White striping tape mani. 

 I’ve expressed my issues with striping tape before… I’m not very good with it. But I’ve been trying to practice with it more (okay my straight nail vinyls have disappeared…) so I pulled it out to play with. 

  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original formula)
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • Icing Steel My Heart 
  • Essie Good to Go 
  • Striping Tape from Icing. 
  • Sally Hansen Nail Art Studs.
