Good morning darlings & happy Sunday! & happy December 1st! I hope you’re having a beautiful start to the month. & happy belated Thanksgiving to my American friends.
Today I’m so excited because Victoria at NailStuff.ca has once again released some new beauties as part of her NailStuff Essentials line. This time, we have 3 beautiful cream shades; White Dove, Raven & Cardinal. & I’m lucky enough to be able to share swatches of all three with you today!
Hello lovelies & happy Friday. I hope everyone’s had a great week so far.
The weekend is almost here & it’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada so I expect to be in a full food coma by Sunday night. I thought it would be fun, though, so start my Spooky Season nails with a fun little skull & cross bones design.
How fun as these?! Again, I got to use another one of those beautiful Essie shades I was recently gifted which is very exciting. Sadly, I wore these on a day when it was cloudy & rainy so the fun holo effect was not showing up very well.
What do you think of this fun holo skull look? Just a little dip into the Halloween nails to come. ☠️ You know me, Halloween is my favourite season for nail art, so I’m excited to share lots of fun designs with you.
It’s been a little while since my last drag marble design, & this one turned out beautifully. The colours alone are stunning, & they look like gemstones. I’m obsessed.
I had originally just painted my nails with Black & Blue, but they were feeling kind of plain, so I broke out the drag tool & turned them into something stunning. & the colours are perfect for Autumn— but truthfully I would probably wear these any time of the year!
So what do you think of this drag marble? Have you ever tried a drag marble design before? I’ve never been good at water marble, so they’ve always been my marbling go to design! & I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of how they look!
I suppose “happy” is a subjective term. But it is Black Friday, & that means that the holiday season is about to kick into high gear. I work in retail, though, which means I’m just trying to survive the weekend! So in honour of this crazy day, I thought I would create a black manicure to represent the day.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat
Top Coat: Seche Vive
Mary Kay Salon Direct Moonlight
Essence Here’s My Number
Paper Hole Reinforcements
I wanted black nails, but with a twist, & I think this nail art look was just what I needed. I used a lot of top coat to smooth out Essence Here’s My Number as it’s a sparkle sand effect polish. I think the subtle pearlescent shimmer of Moonlight pairs really well with the more obvious sparkle of Here’s My Number. It’s a very chic look, which half moon designs always are to me, but then you have the black & white pairing, which just makes it feel even more chic.
Also it’s a very easy look, that anyone can do. The perfect nail art look for going into battle for retail war.
What do you think of these Black Friday half moons? Do you think this is as chic a look as I do? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!
Hello loves — it’s Friday. I hope everyone has had a not too stressful week.
I’m definitely excited for this weekend, as there is a big Halloween celebration where I work & I plan on dressing up as Wonder Woman for work. Haven’t decided on the manicure yet, though.
Today though, I have a simple design that could definitely be used as a Halloween look. I wanted some black & red Chevron claws & I’m so happy with how they turned out!
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat
Top Coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Red Carpet
Sally Hansen InstaDri Ghouls Night Out
Snail Nails Deep V chevron vinyls
I had a bit of an internal debate over whether to do black or red for the chevrons themselves, but I’m quite happy with how this look turned out! I always love a chevron moon design, especially chevron claws. They’re fun, & look especially good when my nails are at a longer length.
It’s also a pretty simple design to do, as long as you have the patience to wait for your base to dry fully.
What do you think about my chevron claws? Do you like this combination of black & red — does it give you Halloween vibes? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to binge the new Blink 182 album. Happy Friday. 🖤
