Floral accent nail featuring China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le

Good morning lovelies. Hope the weather is beautiful where you are. 

Here in Halifax, Mother Nature is playing a nasty late April Fools joke on us and has been giving us weather better suited to Early March!  So what better what to combat the chill then with some pretty floral? 🌻

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI 
  • Unnamed Cosmetic Arts Peach polish 
  • Unnamed Cosmetic Arts Pink polish. 
  • Essie In the Cabana
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow. 
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in green. 
  • Essence The Green and the Grunge
  • Essie Good to Go 
  • Sally Hansen Nail Art studs. 

 

Have I mentioned how ready for Spring I am?! Really, really ready. The weather may not be agreeing, but at least these nails can help me play pretend for a while. 🌸

Retro abstract Stripes. 

So I think retro abstract stripes are my new favourite. They’re so easy to do and there are so many colour options. This mani was inspired by my brand new Spring tank top from Ardene. 

   
  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Essie Haute as Hello
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in Bubblegum Pink
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in White. 
  • Milani Nail Art Percision Brush in Black. 
  • Essie Good to Go. 

  
   
Is this not the cutest shirt ever? 🍍And it goes so perfectly with my nails! I hope I’m not the only one who matches her nails to her outfits!

Pink and Purple half moons. 

Anyone else so excited for Spring?! I definitely am. Although we’re getting some less than pleasant weather (snow in April? 😧) I thought I’d embrace some bright colours. And it’s been a while since I wore a half moon mani, so I thought it would be fun to pull out a few of my favourite bright colours. 

   
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Color Club Pucci-licious 
  • China Glaze Purple Panic 
  • Essie Good to Go 
  • Paper Hole reinforcers 

   
What colours are you loving for Spring? 🌷
