Springy Floral Skittle (using new Madam Glam polishes🌸)

*contains PR/Gifted Product

Hello lovelies, & happy Friday!

I swear that this isn’t just a floral blog now, but I’ll be honest — I’m really loving doing all sorts of floral designs right now. So it’s what I have to share with you! I did these nails a few weeks ago, before I had another nail break, & I think they turned out so pretty.

I used all of the beautiful Madam Glam nail polishes I was gifted as they are all stunning Spring shades.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Madam Glam Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Madam Glam Top Coat *
  • Madam Glam Purple Rain *
  • Madam Glam Pastel Love *
  • Madam Glam Spring Breeze *
  • Madam Glam Minty Green *
  • Madam Glam Warm Up *
  • Madam Glam Mimi Pink *
  • Madam Glam Birds Fairy *
  • Madam Glam Sweet Sunshine *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*gifted/PR

I’m obsessed with how beautiful these Spring-y shades are. Madam Glam also has the whole collection as a bundle available on their website! I’ve been really impressed with the formula on these nail polishes — so smooth, which you really want when applying pastels.

Also these little accent flowers make me so happy.

What do you think about my pastel floral skittle? Do you love these shades for Spring? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Summoning Spring with Vintage Roses 🌹

Hello loves & happy Wednesday!

Hard to believe how quickly this month is going & it’s been so, so hard personally. But we are inching closer to Spring & Spring weather & I’m so ready for beautiful days & sunshine & all my cute Spring dresses. So in the meantime, while we wait for warmer days, how about some more floral.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter 
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Essie Home By 8 *
  • Essie Nail Art Studio Mystic Marine *
  • Ellen Tracey Hot Pink (no name)
  • Ellen Tracey Dusty Pink (no name)
  • Essie The Girls Are Out!
  • Essie Muchi Muchi *

  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio

I really like this combination. I think it looks so pretty, romantic & vintage looking. It actually reminds me of a design I did early in this blogs life which was totally unintentional, but I nice throwback — even if those ones were “Fall floral” & these ones are giving me a Spring vibe.

Let’s be honest — it doesn’t matter the season, floral is always a good idea.

What do you think of this look? I’m not sure what designs I’m really craving as we approach Spring; I’ve been feeling very uninspired. I’d love to know what designs or colours you’d like to see coming up! I’m always open to suggestions.

Enjoy your Wednesday

Pink Holo Half Moons 🌙

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday.

Trying to post all the designs I did during my hiatus from posting, & I thought this was a fun & easy design. You know I adore half moons, & I love how this one turned out.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Top Coat: Essence Colour Shield Top Coat
  • Wrenn Polish Ruby Slippers
  • Essie No More Film
  • Essie Leggy Legend
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio (smallest size)
  • Paper Hole Reinforcements

Half moons are such an easy look. I added my little gold dots to make it a bit more exciting, & I really like how they turned out. Mostly I’ve been leaning into the Spring shades in my collection, but every so often I reach for something darker.

What do you think about these half moons? Do you like this combination of colours?

Cutesy Valentines Nail Art (Using Nail Stickers) 💗💘

Good morning loves & happy Thursday. I know, I know. It’s been a while. Remember when I said February was going to hopefully be an easier month? Well… not so much. Just not in the way I was expecting.

Anyways though — let’s not worry about that & instead focus on my nails! Because that’s why everyone is here, isn’t it? & it’s almost Valentine’s Day, which means I get to show off some V-Day inspired nails. 💅 💘 & I have lots more love inspired looks to come.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Essence Colour Shield Top Coat 
  • Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway *
  • Ellen Tracy Gold Glitter Topper (no name, my mum got it for me in a set from Winners)
  • Valentine’s Day Nail Art Stickers (I don’t remember the brand, but I bought them at Indigo on clearance for like $5)
  • Kiss Products rainbow & heart stickers

You would not believe the amount of nail art stickers & decals I have at my disposal that I onlh get to bring out a few times of years. But I do get excited when I have an excuse to use them! Stickers are such a great option when you’re short on time, or tired, or just feeling uninspired or lazy.

That’s why they’re one of my favourite nail art tools!

What do you think of these quick & easy Valentine’s Day nails using these cute graphic stickers? Do you love them as much as I do? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below, & share your favourite brands of nail art stickers in the comments below.

Happy Thursday

Dark Blue & Pink Glitter Gradient ✨

Good morning loves & happy Tuesday. A chilly, cold, wet January Tuesday. But crazily enough, this month is almost over! So hard to believe that February is almost here, & in turn, lots of Valentine’s Day looks. Well, at least a few.

Today though, I’m keeping with the bit of a blue trend I’ve been feeling this month with a quick & easy glitter gradient. Working two jobs has meant less time for fun nail art, & I’m still working on finding a good balance so I have “Me time” for nail art! (I’m desperately craving some floral on my nails, I just need the time & energy.)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Essence Colour Shield Top Coat 
  • Finger Paints Queen for a Night
  • Revlon Nail Art Duo 350 Ulterior Motif  (just the side with the pink glitter)

I really forgot how pretty Finger Paints Queen for a Night was. I just love a beautiful jewel toned blue on my nails. While purple is my favourite colour in regular life, & red is my go to I-Don’t-Know-What-to -Wear nail polish colour, blue has always been one of my favourite colour to grab in general. Next to red, it’s probably the colour I own the most shades of! & I always love how it looks on my nails.

Also I swear that I used to buy Finger Paints polishes every time I went to Sally Beauty. Does Sally’s still sell Finger Paints? I’ll have to go check.

What do you think of these glitter gradient nails? I feel like we all need a little extra glitter in our lives during these dark winter months — jazz up the moody days. It may not solve all of the problems in the world, but it certainly makes me feel better!

Happy Tuesday
