Stamper Skeleton Nails 💀

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope everyone is having a lovely week, & obviously excited about the weekend.

We are now half way through October — somehow! — & that’s just insane to me. The kids costumes are figured out, but I’m still trying to decide what I want to be for the big night! When it comes to Halloween, I’m definitely a last minute costume kind of girl. But, thankfully, I always have something on my nails.

I just found my stamping kit items in a box, so I was excited because I love my Color Club skeleton stamping plate. Quick but cute nails, especially without much time.

The polishes I used for this manicure are:

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Base Coat
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • Essie Gel Couture Tailored by Twilight topped with Quo Beauty Midnight Magic
  • Morgan Taylor Dreaming of Gleaming
  • Color Club Skull Stamping Plate
  • NailStuff Scraper & Stamper Set

As you can see, I might have been in a bit of a rush so my silver got a bit smeared when I applied top coat, but that’s kind of a vibe — right? Not my best job, but I still have 1/2 a month left of October to redeem myself. & I really liked to silver over purple, so I had to share.

& from far-ish away, you can barely tell I mucked them up with top coat!

What do you think about this skull & cross bones design? Do you think they’re a fun Halloween look? Let me know what you think, & what Halloween nail art look you think I should attempt. I’ve been thinking about doing cute pastel ghosts, so I think that’s going to be coming up soon!

Chic Red & Gold Fall Dotticure

Hello loves & happy Wednesday. I hope everyone’s had a fantastic start to their week so far. To say I’ve been enjoying the Fall weather & chill in the air would be an understatement.

I’m also enjoying all the deep, dark Autumn polishes. This is the time of year where my nail art creativity thrives. I want to do all the designs! Today’s one is a simple look, but chic & classic.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Strengthner
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Essie Speed Setter
  • Quo by Orly Trust Fund over Berry Cobbler
  • Morgan Taylor Just Tutu Much
  • NailStuff.ca dotting tool

Oh I love a good dotticure. They’re just so classic. & I’ve been in a real red polish era lately.

Red nail polish will always be my favourite.

What do you think about this classic red dotticure? Do you love the simplicity & chicness of this design? Let me know what you think, & if you’d also wear this design!

Glow-in-the-Dark Inspired Stars ⭐️

Hello lovelies & happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a beautiful start to your week.

I’m starting my week off (ish) with a fun nail art look. It feels like absolute ages since I attempted any kind of nail art on my nails… I’ve mostly just been wearing solid colours, press on nails, or maybe like a glitter accent nail (very 2013). So it was kind of fun to dig into my nail desk box, find my good nail art brushes, & give some art a try.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Strengthner
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat
  • Essie Bell Bottom Blues
  • OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops
  • OPI That’s Hula-rious
  • Essie Bikini So Teeny
  • Quo by Orly Breathable De-stressed Denim
  • NailStuff Mermaid Tail Brush
  • Bobby Pin (couldn’t find my dotting tools haha)

So the inspiration behind this nail art look are glow-in-the-dark stars. Truthfully, I was seeing way too many videos of Hilary Duff’s Glow in the Dark star dress she’s wearing on tour, & this blue base was the perfect not-black shade, that I really wanted to see if I could freehand some stars on my nails!

& even though it’s been forever since I did any freehand designs on my nails, I’m so obsessed with how these turned out! Plus, I got complimented on them while out & about, so I feel pretty awesome about this nail art. They look exactly how I imagined them in my head!

What do you think about my glow-in-the-dark inspired star nails? Do these remind you of being a kid, like they do me? Would you wear this look? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below & if you love them too!

Happy Wednesday darlings.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER 2025 — Haunted House

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a lovely & safe week so far. It’s a busy week as we prepare for Halloween, but we have one more prompt for Glam Nails Challenge October, & I couldn’t wait to share my design with you — even if I’m posting it a bit late in the day!

The final prompt for October is Haunted House, & I’m super proud of my spooky haunted house design I created.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle) 
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Sugar Fix
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Beatnik
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Dark Hue-mor
  • Quo by Orly Nail Art Striper in black
  • Wet n Wild Nail Art Stickers Trick Me, Treat Me style
  • LA Colors Crackle Top Coat Black
  • NailStuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm Liner Brush

I tried my best to create an atmospheric spooky background for my design, & painted the graveyard/spooky background. Then, I had a Wet n Wild nail art sticker that was a haunted house that I placed on my ring finger — which saved me from having to handpainting it! & the pink moon just seemed like a fun little touch to add as well.

& with that, we are done Glam Nails Challenge October for another year! Crazy to think that we are so close to the end of 2025. It’s been a crazy year, so I’m excited to close out the year with some fun designs.

If you’ve been following along with this challenge thank you! I had so much fun painting my nails this month, & sharing all my Halloween design with you!

Have the lovelies rest of your day!

Pastel Geometric Lines

Contains PR

Hello loves & happy Thursday!

I hope everyone’s week has been going well. It’s be hot hot hot here on the East Coast, which I will never complain about! I love me a hot Summer day. Today it’s definitely cooler & just kind of muggy.

But you’re here for nails, not weather reports — & I have been busy trying to come up with fun nails to share! I’ll admit, after 11 years it can be hard to come up with brand new nail art designs for you. So, instead, I guess I’ll keep reinventing my old favourites.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter Top Coat 
  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifier
  • Madam Glam Mimi Pink *
  • Madam Glam Minty Greek *
  • Madam Glam Birds Fairy *
  • Madam Glam Warm Up *
  • Quo by Orly Black Nail Art Striper

**pr/gifted

You can never go wrong with a dry brush geometric design!

These were so easy to do. Started off with the dry brush as my base using my 4 Madam Glam pastels–which blended together so well–& then used my striper to create the geometric design. The hardest part is probably drawing the black lines & making sure they don’t end up too thick (always my struggle, at least), but no matter what I think this is a striking design to do & wear!

What do you think about these pastel geometric design? She’s an oldie but a goodie!

I’m still on the hunt for new nail art designs to try, so feel free to share any designs you’d love to see me attempt! I’m trying not to go straight into craving Autumn designs (my favourite season for nail art) so help a girl out! I would be eternally grateful.

Happy Thursday!
