Girlie roses and polka dots inspired by 25_sweetpea and Martienails

I love a good floral, especially when the weather outside is less than Spring like. So since my floral Spring dresses are still currently packed up I thought a pretty floral mani was in need. Today’s mani inspired by  @25_sweetpea and  @martienails. The second I saw their girlie roses and polka dots it jumped right to the top of my to-do inspiration list! 

  

The polishes I used for today’s mani are:

  • Sally Hansen Big Teal (base colour)
  • China Glaze Feel the Breeze (base colour) 
  • ACO by Ardene Pink Parfait (roses) 
  • Sally Hansen Tickled Pink (roses) 
  • China Glaze Purple Panic (roses) 
  • China Glaze Be More Pacific (leaves)
  • Sally Hansen I 💗 Nail Art pen in green (leaves) 
  • Sally Hansen I 💗 Nail Art pen in white (polka dots) 
  • OPI I Snow You Love Me (round holo glitters) 
  • Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. 

 

So what do you think of these girlie roses and polka dot nails? I love the blue and pink colour combo–and of course anything with floral makes me happy. 🌹and I hope you lovelies are enjoying more seasonable weather than we are here! Spring can come any day now!

Cartoon nails. 

Super excited to share my cartoon nails that I did as part of a twin nails collab with some awesome girls on Instagram organized by my girl @sassafrassnails.

Peek-a-boo Stained Glass Nails. 

The Mr and I are getting ready to move next week so I’ve been preoccupied slightly. However I am still painting my nails so I HAD to share this cute manicure I’ve been wearing for the last two days.  
I love the look of stained glass nails. They’re just so pretty! Plus you can use all sorts of colours at once! I was in the mood for a kind of peak-a-boo look over a nude polish base. 
For this manicure, the polishes I used were: 

  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Bare it All
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in Black. 
  • Zoya Blu 
  • OPI My Favourite Ornament 
  • China Glaze Plur-ple 
  • China Glaze Purple Panic
  • China Glaze Shocking Pink 
  • Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat 

  

 

So what do you think of my peak-a-boo stained glass nails? I think the colours go so well together!

Spring dotticure. 

  

Is there anything better than starting your day with pretty polka dot nails and a soy latte? Wearing Essie Haute as Hello which is my new favourite coral for Spring, with polka dots of Sally Hansen I ❤️ Nail Art pen in White and OPI My Favourite Ornament. 

I love how much these nails scream Spring! 🌻 what’s your favourite colour for Spring? I’m really loving corals and pinks right now!

Pastel Half Moons. 

 Edit  

I’ve written before how much I love a good half moon mani—they’re easy and can change up a manicure quick. Also I love coming up with fun and different colour combinations! I really wanted to do a half moon where the moon was darker so I decided to give it a try. 

For this mani the polishes I used were: 

  • ACO by Ardene Sweet Tarts (pink textured polish) 
  • Essie Garden Variety (blue-ish half moon.) 
  • Sally Hansen Nail Art pen in Navy.  
  • Seche Vite quick dry top coat. 
  • Essence French Manicure tip guides. 

It was super easy to create this look. Paint your nails with your base colour, and apply quick dry top coat to speed up the process. When that is dry, you just put the guides a little above where you want your moon to go, and fill in the space with your darker colour and remove! Then I just took my Sally Hansen nail art pen and drew a small line between the two colours. And bam! You are done. 

     

What do you think of this mani? The Mr. says it reminds him of Easter. 🐰 I just love the Spring colours and how bright they are!
