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. 🌸

Valentine’s Day Polish picks. 

Just in case you weren’t already aware, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. My Instagram feed has been just full of so many pretty love themed designs, and I’ve come up with a few myself. But I thought I would share a few of my favourite Valentine’s Day appropriate polishes. 

 OPI Designer Series Bold  
Pretty pink glitter. You can never go wrong with any of those things, and I love Bold because it feels super girlie to me. This is 3 glitter packed coats, which made me glad I used peel off base coat because I would not have wanted to try and remove it the old fashioned way. 

Garage Noname Neon Pink with holo micro glitters. 


First off, everyone say howdy to Cindy! Was trying to save of time by bringing her into the mix.  Way more awkward to pose though, hence the bottle shot.   

 Essie Toggle to the Top

 
I adore this beautiful Wine coloured glitter–it’s just such a sexy polish (can nail polish be sexy? Why not!) I layered my swatch over China Glaze Seduce Me (another perfect colour for Valentine’s Day!) which cut down on how many coats I needed to do.

I like glitter for Valentine’s Day, have you noticed? I picked this polish because I thought it would be fun to wear, plus the name makes me think of cupcakes, and who doesn’t like cupcakes for Valentine’s Day? 

Essie A-List


My fifth and final polish is your classic red. Gosh I love red polish have, and Essie never goes wrong with a good red. I picked this up at Marshalls in a duo pack with Sparkle on Top for $5. 
So what’s your favourite Valentine’s Day appropriate polish? Let me know in the comments below. 💗

Blingy accent nail. 

Good morning lovelies! Today I’ve got another manicure to share featuring the multi-sized crystals I was sent for review by Born Pretty (item #21586). 

 
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI Do You Have This Color in Stock-holm?
  • L’oreal Magic Top Coats The Holographic. 
  • Essie Gel Setter top coat. 
  • Born Pretty Rhinestones item #21586 

I love these little rhinestones. They’re so easy to pick up with just a damp nail art brush, and I don’t have to worry about dropping them in the bed when doing my nails (which I always seem to do haha). 

Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday! Halifax is currently bracing for ANOTHER winter storm, so I have that to look forward to at work! ❄️☃ 

Enjoy your weekend!

Matte swirl accent nails. 

January is leaving me a little slack on inspiration, leaving my nail designs feeling a little random. Today’s mani is inspired by a manicure I did back on Thanksgiving, only using a different colour scheme.  

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon manicure in Trouble Maker. 
  • Color Club Dirty Money
  • OPI Altar Ego 
  • Essie Good to Go top coat. 
  • Butter London Matte Top coat. 
  • Small nail art brush purchased from Born Pretty. 

 
What do you find yourself wearing most often in the early months of the year. I can’t wait to start playing around with some Valentines Day designs! Only a month away! 💗

Rose and Diamond nails featuring rhinestones from Born Pretty

 Good morning! Today I’ve got another manicure featuring an item sent to me for review by Born Pretty! 

 We’ve got some serious snow happening here in good ole Halifax so what better to wear on my nails than floral! And I thought these beautiful irredescent rhinestones (item #21586) would perfectly compliment my roses. 

  
Each little bin comes with 130 little stones of varying sizes. For this manicure I went with the smallest of the 3. I really love using studs and stones in my nail art as accents, and I’m very impressed with how easy these were to pick up and apply. The stones themselves are very light in weight so all I used to pick them up was a damp nail art brush. I then just put them in place over some wet top coat, then sealed everything in with another coat of top coat! Easy peasy. 

 The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Grey Area 
  • China Glaze Chit-Chat
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI
  • Sinful Colors Aubergine 
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Giant Peach. 
  • Essie Good to Go top coat. 
  • Large size dotting tool
  • Small nail art brush
