Celestial Nails with Deco Beauty Stardust Stickers ✨🌙

Hello lovlies & happy Wednesday. It’s been a while.

Post-Halloween was a bit brutal, & the mid-November pre-Christmas bleakness always leaves me so uninspired. You know? When it’s too early for Christmas, & missing the Halloween vibes are over, I just don’t know what to do with myself. This time of year is a nail art black hole.

However! I recently visited a local store by where.I live–Splurge Boutique–& they sell a huge selection of Deco Beauty nail art stickers. I’ve been wanting to try them out for a while, as I’m a huge nail sticker fan, so I decided to treat myself to a few packs for those days when I feel a bit uninspired.

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
  • Essie After School Boy Blazer
  • Deco Beauty Stickers in Stardust
  • Small Tweezers
  • YSL Beauty Feuille D’Or
  • Small Dotting Tool

The first nail art stickers which caught my eyes were these beautiful celestial designs. I love the moons & stars, & the gold finish. They were super easy to apply, & I love how flatly they lay on the nail. I had no issues with lifting, & a nice coat of top coat really locked them in.

I also added a bit of gold sparkle on my middle finger, just for a little extra pizzazz. It was the perfect easy manicure to throw on & go. It created a beautiful look without much thought, & that’s why I love nail art stickers.

What do you think about this look using Deco Beauty stickers? I purchased these for $19 CAD + tax (I also got a second set on clearance that were $10) which is pricey, but they quality is definitely there, & that lasted through a whole work shift… even when the nail polish was chipping.

I’d love to know your thoughts, & if you have any expeirnce with these stickers! Also, if you have any suggestions on November nail designs, please let a girl know! I’m dying for some inspiration.

SWATCH SUNDAY — Essie High Voltage Vinyl (Essie Fall 2021 Collection)

Good morning lovelies & happy Sunday. I hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend! The weather here is perfect Autumn weather — cool enough to wear a light jacket, but not too cold I can’t still wear my favourite skirts. Definitely my favourite time of year.

So naturally, let’s show off some Fall nail polish. & I feel like I’ve found the perfect shade for the occasion: Essie High Voltage Vinyl.

2 coats + top coat

Described on the Essie site as a “warm rockin’ onyx green nail polish amped up with refined gold pearl” I feel like this colour screams early Autumn. The green is a beautiful dark green which is complimented perfectly by the bronze-y gold. The dark shimmer is really pretty, & applied surprisingly smooth with subtle brush strokes (it kind of just looks more like the finish, & less like me mucking up.)

Green isn’t usually a colour I reach for to wear on its own, but I like that this one is a little bit different & that underlying gold shimmer is doing something to me! It just screams Autumn, & sweater weather. Could you imagine this guy with a coat of Essie Shine of the Times over top? I bet it would be absolutely stunning (& I wish I had thought of it when I put this shade on… rather than when I was writing this blog post! Next time!)

Sadly, looking online it doesn’t look like this shade is available for purchase, which makes me sad because it’s such a fun shade for this time of year. I’m sure there is a beautiful dupe out there though!

What do you think of Essie High Voltage Vinyl? Do you think it’s a beautiful Autumnal shade? Would you wear this unique green nail polish?

I’d love to know your thoughts & what you’re currently wearing on your nails right now.

Happy Sunday!
