Chic Autumn Maroon Dotticure 🤎🍁

Hey beauties & happy Friday the 13th. A spooky day to some, but I’ve always considered it a lucky day for me.

However — we’re currently dump from an incoming Nor’Easter! Thankfully, our part of the province isn’t being beat down with snow, but it’s a great reminder that it’s on the way! Winter is definitely coming.

But I’m really trying to embrace some Autumn vibes before it’s time for holiday nails. & a quick dotticure always is a good option!

The polishes I used for this manicure are:

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Hardener
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Essie Good To Go
  • Sinful Colours Quick Bliss Black Cherry
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mauve Over
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool (small)

I like this colour combination a lot. The cream finish of dots offer a nice, albeit subtle, contrast to the spark & shine of Black Cherry. It’s a great combo, & such as classic combination. Maybe someone will argue that it’s a little uninspired, but sometimes those are the best manicures to wear.

What do you think of this maroon dotticure? Do you enjoy this look? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments before.

& if you have any nail art suggestions, help a girl out! I feel like I’m constantly staring endlessly at Pinterest trying to inspire myself, & not getting anywhere. Maybe I should just jump straight into Holiday/Christmas designs — especially since snow is not that far away.

Enjoy your Friday!

Halloween Inspired Dotticure Accent Nails 🎃

Hello lovelies & happy Friday!

Can you believe it’s October?! How did that happen?

I’m already getting excited for Halloween designs, but haven’t quite narrowed down what I want to do. I thought I’d start off with a fun easy look.

You can never go wrong with a dotticure accent look, & I had the idea of doing one with all the colours associated with Halloween.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • China Glaze Up All Night topped with Private Side Eyes
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Feelin’ Grape
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Pump-kid
  • China Glaze Shore Snuff
  • NailStuff Essentials Raven
  • Small Dotting Tool (also NailStuff)

Close up of my dots. I think they’re super fun, & the colours really compliment each other. They’re a great pop of colour.

A simple look for the beginning of October. I will admit, though, I’m very excited to start on some Halloween looks… I just don’t know where to start!

Enjoy your weekend loves!

Chic Red & Gold Fall Dotticure

Hello loves & happy Wednesday. I hope everyone’s had a fantastic start to their week so far. To say I’ve been enjoying the Fall weather & chill in the air would be an understatement.

I’m also enjoying all the deep, dark Autumn polishes. This is the time of year where my nail art creativity thrives. I want to do all the designs! Today’s one is a simple look, but chic & classic.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Strengthner
  • Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Essie Speed Setter
  • Quo by Orly Trust Fund over Berry Cobbler
  • Morgan Taylor Just Tutu Much
  • NailStuff.ca dotting tool

Oh I love a good dotticure. They’re just so classic. & I’ve been in a real red polish era lately.

Red nail polish will always be my favourite.

What do you think about this classic red dotticure? Do you love the simplicity & chicness of this design? Let me know what you think, & if you’d also wear this design!

Purple & Gold Dotticure 💜✨

Hey beauties, happy Wednesday!

It’s another snowy Wednesday here, which is making this December feel very festive. I think this is the most snow we’ve had in a December in longer than I can remember. Now if only I could get enough holiday spirit to get my shopping finished.

Today I’m sharing a pretty holiday-esque design. Not outright Christmas, but using some older season Holiday polishes so I feel like it counts! Plus it wouldn’t look out of place at a Holiday party while you drink too many eggnogs!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Cure
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Morgan Taylor Plum-thing Magical (2017 Little Miss Nutcracker collection)
  • OPI Rolling in Cashmere (Gwen Stephanie Holiday 2014 collection)
  • Small-ish dotting tool

Oh goodness, I just adore a good dotticure. The gold looks lovely against the purple-y plum base, especially with its shimmer. This is such a simple look to do, but eye catching at the same time. I love it! & sometimes I just need to rock a colour other than red or green, you know?

What do you think of the glam dotticure? Would you wear a design like this? Can you believe we’re two weeks away from Christmas Eve, & 15 days away from Christmas morning? Crazy!

Happy Wednesday

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER 2025 — Candy Corn

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! & Happy October 1st. It is officially my favourite season, & I can’t wait for all the spooky fun that this month will bring. Give me pumpkins, & ghosts & all the treats!

Today though, I’m excited because I’m officially committing to Glam Nails Challenge October for this month. It’s been… a while. It’s been a long while. But I think what I need to get out of my nail art slump, & create some beautiful designs, in honour of my absolute favourite month. & the first prompt of Glam Nails Challenge October is candy corn! I, for one, am a huge fan of candy corn (when I can find it that is gluten free) so I was pumped to paint it on my nails. & I thought I’d do something similar to a design I did a few years ago, where I did a candy corn themed dotticure.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Good To Go Top Coat
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
  • Essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss Blush Jelly *pr
  • Madam Glam Nail Art Pen White *pr
  • Madam Glam Nail Art Pen Orange *pr
  • Madam Glam Nail Art Pen Yellow *pr

How cute are these itty bitty polka dots? I used some of my Madam Glam Nail Art pens, & they worked perfectly for the finest dots. I love them!

&, I also got a ton of compliments on this look over the weekend when I wore them to work, which always makes me so happy. Whenever I’m at work at someone notices my nails, it gives me such a sense of pride, & really does make my whole day! So I was very excited when I got multiple compliments on my nails.

What do you think about my candy corn inspired nails for the first prompt of Glam Nails Challenge October? All the prompts for this month are so exciting & fun, & I can’t wait to really dive into the challenge & come up with fun & creative designs — & share some super cute new nail art stickers I bought just for this month!

Enjoy your first day of spooky season!
