Neon Colour Blocking (Featuring Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s collection)

•contains pr/gifted product•

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday — it was a very busy week last week! I decided instead of rushing to get a Swatch Sunday post done, to use my Saturday night for some fun self care & I did something I’ve been wanting to do forever: I re-dyed my hair purple! It was a bit of a lengthy process (we needed to bleach!) so I knew I couldn’t get both done. So I picked my hair.

I’m back today, though, & sharing a design using some of the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s shades I received last week.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glossy Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen MG 90s Did I Blue That?
  • Sally Hansen MG 90s Nostalchick
  • Sally Hansen MG 90s Toadally Buggin’

Does the colour combination & colour blocking on this look remind anyone else of those 90s colour block bathing suits — the ones with the big zipper down the front? I definitely had one or two I wore as a kid.

I just thought this design would be so fun to wear, & the bright colours would look so good together, & I’m glad I was right! Give me all the Summer shades. I’m very much about the Summer vibes right now.

What do you think about this bright neon colour block look? Do you like these Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s inspired polishes. I have a bunch of free time this week so I should be able to get Swatches done of these new shades for this coming Sunday!

Have a fantastic start to your week lovelies! & enjoy the sunshine if it’s shining where you are. ☀️

Mediterranean Inspired Tile Nails (Featuring Olive & June)

•contains pr/gifted product•

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far. The sun is finally peaking out, & I’m excited for another break from the rain. We’ve definitely been having a very rainy Summer so far. It has me dreaming of vacation. Maybe it’s the fact we’ve been binge watching Below Deck: Sailing Yacht, but I definitely have been wishing I could take a trip somewhere Mediterranean.

So obviously when I received those beautiful new Olive & June shades, I knew I wanted to try & create something inspired by Mediterranean tiles. The colours were perfect for a Summer vacation on my nails — even if the farthest I’ll be traveling this Summer is to another province.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Olive & June Long Lasting Top Coat
  • Olive & June Not A Cloud
  • Olive & June House of O&J
  • Olive & June Flowerpot
  • Olive & June How Do You Spell Bougainvillea?
  • Olive & June Bocce Ball
  • What’s Up Nails Moroccan Stencils
  • Large Dotting Tool (NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio)

How freaking fun are these? I wasn’t sure how the colours were going to go together until I started, but I really like how they look! When I applied the top coat, it blended the polishes together in an interesting way that made it look a bit faded — which helped with the over all aesthetic I was going for. I really, really love it. I may not be traveling on a super yacht, but at least my nails can give me those vibes.

Also this was definitely the first idea that popped in my head the second I saw this collection.

What do you think of these nails? Are they giving you vacation vibes? Are you a fan of these shades together? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Simple Swirls

•contains pr/gifted product•

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their week. It’s humid & sticky here today, with not much sun. Not my favourite kind of weather, but that’s okay. Today I have a fun look I actually did before Canada Day, but hadn’t had a chance to post yet. I was feeling so stripes, & ended up going a little more on the abstract side of things (as I usually do.)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry Top
  • Essie Expressie FX Iced Out
  • Essie Bikini So Teeny
  • Essie (Un)Guilty Pleasures
  • Essie Cute as A Button
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Essie Frilly Lillies
  • NailStuff.ca Mermaid Tail Brush Trio (I used the 11mm liner brush)

In case you’re wondering — yes, I’m still obsessed with these beautiful Essie shades I was gifted. I haven’t yet had a chance to do a floral yet with these shades, but I have it on my itinerary. So many nail art ideas, so little time! But I have to say, all the beautiful polishes I’ve recently been gifted for PR, I have so many ideas brewing inside my head. I’m very excited for all the nail art to come this Summer.

What do you think about this beautiful swirly line design? Such an easy design to do, with minimal time required.

Have a fantastic Monday! ♥︎

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! Today I’m super excited because I have a brand new (to me) nail polish brand to share with you that was recently gifted to me.

Olive & June is a nail polish brand that sells both nail polish & press on nails. They have an extensive range of 15-free nail polishes in a ton of exciting colours, so I felt super blessed to be send their Summer box which contained everything I need for the perfect summer manicure. While I’ve used their nail art stickers before, I’ve never tried their nail polish!

The summer collection contains 6 polishes — 5 cream/crelly shades, & one shimmery topper.

Lush Green Dotticure 🌿💚

•PR/Gifted•

Hello loves & happy Tuesday! I know, a post on a Tuesday…. not my usual posting schedule. But the rain & grey has me all out of sorts, so I ended up skipping posting yesterday. I just was not feeling it.

I’m back today though, & I have a cute & easy dotticure to share with you featuring on of the new Essie shades I received recently. I’m still obsessing over this beautiful green Willow in the Wind & I decided to use it as the base for a luscious green dotticure. \

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Essie Off Tropic
  • Essie Blanc
  • NailStuff.ca small dotting tool (NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio)

Yes, I’m still obsessed with this green. I don’t know what it is about it — it’s just a very Summer-y green & I really love it. I haven’t yet had a chance to use it in a floral/cactus look yet — which I very much want to — but I thought it worked so well for this simple dotticure.

What do you think of this green dotticure? Are you a fan of Essie Willow in the Wind as much as I am? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & what you think about a simple dotticure!

Enjoy your Tuesday!
