Pink and Purple half moons. 

Anyone else so excited for Spring?! I definitely am. Although we’re getting some less than pleasant weather (snow in April? 😧) I thought I’d embrace some bright colours. And it’s been a while since I wore a half moon mani, so I thought it would be fun to pull out a few of my favourite bright colours. 

   
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Color Club Pucci-licious 
  • China Glaze Purple Panic 
  • Essie Good to Go 
  • Paper Hole reinforcers 

   
What colours are you loving for Spring? 🌷

Spring-y Floral 

Is anyone else seriously ready for Spring?! I definitely am. This winter hasn’t been nearly as rough as last year, but I am still so ready for Winter to be over. In honour of that Spring feeling, I thought I’d pull out some brighter colours. 

I was at Shoppers the other day with the hubby, and he picked me out Essie Chillato to add to the stash, which is a pale pistachio green and nothing like anything I have in my stash. I’m not usually into greens, but I’m seriously digging this colour. And since I’m trying to break out of my comfort zone, what’s a better colour to do it with! 

And since I was going with such a fresh Spring-y colour, I thought some floral was in order.  

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • Essie Chillato
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in purple
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in green 
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in magenta 
  • Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pen in turquoise
  • Essie Good to Go 

Oh yes, bring in the floral. It’s been a long winter, and I’ve missed playing around with my floral manis. I’m also kind of obsessed with my Sally Hansen I ♥️ Nail Art pens again. I forgot how easy they are to use to create fun designs! I have a feeling I might be adding more to the stash come next pay day! 
Anyone else craving Spring as much as I am? What are you wearing on your nails lately? 

 

Bright Swirly Stripes

I am so over winter. Like, so over winter. So you know what that means–time to break out the bright polishes!  I was stuck for inspiration, so I decided to pull out a favourite fallback design. 

  
The polishes I used for this design were:

  • China Glaze Flying Dragon
  • Essie Garden Variety
  • Cosmetic Arts unnamed hot pink polish. 
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in White  
  • Miliani Nail Art Striper in Black
  • Essie Good to Go

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.
