Glitter Gradient Sparkle Nails ✨

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope your week has been not too stressful — it was back to school week here, so it’s been busy-busy. But it’s feeling like Autumn, & I’m excited to break out my favourite Fall fashion items.

Today’s nail art look feels very Autumn to me. Give me all the shimmers & all the glitters. I love a good glitter gradient, so I really enjoy this one. Plus it gave me a chance to use the 2nd of the LA Colors Colour Shifting toppers I recently bought!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Good To Go Top Coat
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Zip Wine
  • LA Colors Color Shifting Topper Nova
  • ‘Ard As Nails Fairy Flakes

I’m obsessed with this combination. First off, Nova is a gorgeous topper which transforms a cream polish. The glitter then gives it an extra pow! & sparkle. It creates a beautiful purple-y colour. Very Autumn-y.

& of course, I got lots of compliments on this look while working, which always makes my whole day! There is nothing that makes my day more than random compliments on my nails.

What do you think about this glitter gradient? Do you love it as much as I do?! You have to let me know what you think!

Happy Friday

Autumn Tonal Skittle 🍁🍂🌻

Good morning loves & happy Wednesday. We’re mid-week through the first week of September! & tomorrow marks the first day of school around here. So it’s a very exciting week all around!

It’s also feeling very Autumn-y, so I’m excited to share some skittle nails which match the mood. (& would be perfect to wear while sipping some apple cider or a pumpkin spice latte!) 🍁🍂

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Good To Go Top Coat
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
  • China Glaze Buffalo Bills Bills Bills (thumb)
  • China Glaze Modern Auburn (index)
  • China Glaze Spice to Meet You (middle)
  • China Glaze Loves You A Latte (ring)
  • China Glaze The Snuggle is Real (pinky)
  • Essie Separated Starlight *pr

I think China Glaze is one of my favourite brands for Autumn nail polish releases. The colours, the formulas — just perfection.

I love a good Fall tonal skittle. It’s so much fun combining some of my favourite Autumn shades for a quick & easy look — & the use of the glitter brings everything together even more!

What do you think about this Fall skittle look? Do you love this combination of colours as much as I do? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.

SWATCH SUNDAY — Sally Hansen InstaDri Just In Wine 🍷

Good morning lovelies & happy Sunday! What a beautiful last day of August. Can you believe that tomorrow is September 1st, & the (unofficial) start of all things Autumn! Give me all things pumpkin spice, cinnamon, apple crisp, knee high boots & crunchy leaves.

Today I’m keeping with that theme with a very on season nail polish colour. It’s also from my favourite colour family: red. This is Sally Hansen InstaDri Just in Wine.

2 coats + top coat

If you’re looking for a stunning red adjacent shade to wear this Fall, look no further than this gorgeous cream that falls somewhere between a burgundy & a cranberry. The formula goes on smooth, & dries to a nice finish. & a swipe of top coat gives it a beautiful extra glossy finish.

I looked this beauty up online, & it looks like it’s no longer in circulation which is a shame. It’s such a stunning colour, & I love the Autumn vibes it gives off. Sally Hansen InstaDri certainly has a few dupe-worthy shades that fit this Autumn aesthetic, so definitely check out the others in the line!

What do you think of InstaDri Just in Wine? Are you a fan of this Autumnal shade? Would you wear it? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below, & let me know what shade you’re excited to wear!
