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.

Inspired by Wonder Woman (v. 2)

 You might remember last Summer, I did some Wonder Woman inspired nails. Let’s. just call this take two. 🌟 
  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI My Chihuahua Bites! 
  • Sinful Colours Endless Blue
  • QUO by ORLY Gold striping polish 
  • QUO by ORLY Black striping polish. 
  • Seche Vite.  

I created my chevron moons freehand.  I really need to create a tutorial to show you guys how I do it! It’s so simple and so much easier than taping everything off! (For me at least). Would you guys want a tutorial? Just let me know in the comments below! 💙❤️

 
So what do you think of this mani? I’ve coveted My Chihuahua Bites! for so long and I’m so happy it’s finally mine! Thank you Winners and your fantastic polish section.   And also this blue…. This blue. 😍😍😍 such a pretty blue! Now all I need is a star tiara and some bullet proof bracelets and I’ll be all set! 

Happy Friday Lovelies! 😘

Vintage roses and studs featuring QUO by ORLY water transfers. 

 As you’ve probably figured out, I love a good floral mani. REALLY love. I saw a mani by @perfectly_nailed on Instagram that featured roses on script and knew I wanted to recreate it! I picked up QUO by ORLY water transfers all the way back in October so I couldn’t think of a better time to try them out! 

  
The polishes I used for this mani were: 

  • Essie Big Spender (dark pink)
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Birthday Suit (beige)
  • QUO by ORLY water transfers in Love Letters. 
  • Born Pretty Store studs. 
  • Assortment of other pink polishes that (I can’t remember! Whoops) for the roses. 
  • Seche Vite 

 
What do you think of my roses? I really adore how these turned out. I’ve been really feeling romantic manicures lately… Maybe it’s because it’s wedding season!
