Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! It’s a rainy Wednesday here, which is a tad disappointing. But I have some fun vibrant nails to share to shake things up a smidge because I’m so over Winter, & I want all the bright colour.
These were super simple to create. I started with my shimmery purple base, then just drew some wavy lines in a brighter, lighter shade overtop. So easy!
What do you think of these purple & turquoise wavy lines? It’s an easy look to do, but definitely catches the eye. I’m still trying to create fun nails, but lacking in inspiring (even after perusing Pinterest for far too long) but hopefully as the days get warmer, I’ll feel more like painting my nails & creating fun looks!
Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! Sorry for my absence on Monday — this has been a rough month, creatively speaking. I’ve really had to push myself to want to do nail art, which isn’t like me at all. But today I have a fun nail art look I did on the weekend. This was actually the last nail art look I did before an epic nail break, so expect super short nails in upcoming posts!
This is such a fun look, & it was so easy to do. Like I said, I’ve been dealing with a lack of creativity when it comes to my nails, but a colour block look never disappoints. Usually I only stick to 3 colours, but I decided to do four for this one & I think it looks awesome!
What do you think about this colour block look? Are you a fan of this design? What is your favourite go to nail art look when you’re packing in inspiration— let me know in the comments below!
Good Morning lovelies & happy Sunday! It’s the last Sunday of November which is kind of crazy. Yesterday was one month until Christmas Day, so I think it’s time to kick the Christmas nail polish content officially into gear.
Today I have a polish from the 2015 China Glaze Cheers collection. This glitteryblue/greenish shade is called I Soiree I Didn’t Do It.
2 coats + top coat
China Glaze I Soiree I Didn’t Do It is a jelly green base filled will blue, teal & silver glitters. The base is surprisingly dense with glitter, which was nice as I managed my manicure in only 2 coats. I was fully expecting that I was going to need 3-4 coats.
Obviously, you do still see some natural nail peaking through from behind the glitter, but with something as sparkly as this it kind of distracts so the average person isn’t really noticing. I also used one coat of I Soiree I Didn’t Do It layered over a darker shade on my pedicure, & it works great as a glitter topper as well to add a bit of sparkle.
A close up to show off the different glitters all packed into the base. There is definitely holo glitter in there as well. Like I mentioned, this was only two coats, & I was fully expecting I’d need another coat at least. I am glad that I didn’t have to apply another coat though, because this polish was definitely difficult to remove with all that glitter!
I did use my Olive & June polish remover pot •PR• — which I’m overdue on doing a proper review of — which made the process slightly easier.
Now because this is an older special collection shade, it’s not in regular circulation — however, I did find the Gelaze version listed on the China Glaze website, so that’s definitely an option for those who prefer using gel!
& for the non-gel users, China Glaze I Speak Glitterfrom last years Holiday 2022 collection is very similar in colour as well, except it appears to have some other glitters added to the mix as well. For anyone who owns that shade ( or both), I’d love to know how the two compare!
What do you think about China Glaze I Soiree I Didn’t Do It from the 2015 Cheers collection? Do you remember when this collection was released ? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.
I’m definitely feeling the glittery holiday vibes now, so I’m going to find all the glitter shades I can to share over the next few Sundays!
Today is our last prompt for Glam Nails Challenge October! Can you believe it?! This is kind of crazy. But I’m very excited because the prompt is Zombie & it gave me an opportunity to recreate a design I saw earlier this month on the Essie instagram.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: Essence Colour Grip Base Coat
Top Coat: Seche Vive
Matte Top Coat: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Matte Top Coat
When I saw I’m obsessed with this design, I am obsessed. This turned out better than I could have ever imagined, & totally gives off the zombie design I was going for. This is a fantastic Halloween look, & it might be my favourite of all the designs I’ve done this month!

Hello loves & happy Sunday! I know we may be sick of the Sally Hansen x InstaDri content this week, but I’m just so excited to share the shades from this collection with you!
The Sally Hansen x Sesame Street InstaDri collection consists on 10 polishes — 4 creams, 2 glitter toppers, 2 metallic/shimmery shades, & 2 jelly glitters. It’s a great assortment of different shades brought together under one great collection. There is also a fun set of press on nails as part of their Salon Effect Perfect Manicure line (although I won’t be featuring those as part of my swatches.
Each shade is based around a corresponding Sesame Street character (or, characters) which is a fun idea. & I think all the polishes fit perfectly!
