Holo Spider Webs 🕸️

*contained pr

Happy Halloween!

I have one more Halloween nail art look to share with you, & this one is an easy to recreate one! I decided on some holo spider webs — the only kind of spider webs I will entertain.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Kimono Over
  • Ella + Mila Zephyr *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*gifted

How cute are these holographic spider webs? & as someone who is fairly arachnophobic, I feel like me calling anything involving spiders is pretty huge. Ella + Mila Zephyr is a great silver hill, & makes some beautiful lines for this design. I’m a fan!

What do you think of my holographic spider webs? Do you like this design? Let me know what you think, & what Halloween treat you’ll be snacking on tonight!

Have a fun & safe Halloween loves. 🎃

Look at his little flower crown! The cutest little ghosty ever.

I’m so happy with how these turned out. Once again I ran out of time to do as many Halloween designs as I wanted, but that’s okay. I’m still super in love with all the Halloween looks I’ve created this year.

What do you think about my ghost design? Would you wear these cutie pie ghosts? Let me know what you think of my Halloween nails, & what design you would wear on your nails.

Happy Wednesday

Silly Jack-o-Lanterns 🎃

*contains PR

Hello loves & happy Tuesday!

I’m continuing on with my fun Halloween looks with another freehand design. I attempted a cute Jack o Lantern look… & this is how it turned out haha. This is definitely not my best freehand design, but I still think it’s super cute (& a good easy look for someone to do.)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Tangerine Dream
  • Ella + Mila Aurora Lights *
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Quo by ORLY striper in black
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*PR/gifted

My thumb is definitely my favourite of my nails! It turned out how I wish the rest of the nails looked. It was my own fault though, as I used my Quo striper & it’s gotten a bit thick with use. Either way, it’s a fun Halloween look & that’s what this week is all about. 🎃

What do you think about these Jack o Lantern nails? Do you think this look is cute? Would you wear a pumpkin look like this? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below & tell me what your Halloween costume is this year!

Enjoy your Tuesday

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! It’s a beautiful but oh so chilly morning. It’s also officially the countdown to Halloween, so my goal is to share a Halloween themed nail look every day leading up to Halloween.

& my first Halloween look to share are some freehand drippy blood nails!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Bourdeax *
  • Ella + Mila Everglow *
  • Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

*gifted

I always love when people post their drippy blood nails, so I had to give it a try. The red on red also looks very cool! These would be an awesome manicure to wear if you were doing like a vampire costume. Kind of reminds me of Drusilla from Buffy!

What do you think of my drippy blood nails for Halloween? Have you picked your Halloween nails yet? Let me know all your thoughts & let me know what you’ll be wearing.

Have a great Monday!

SWATCH SUNDAY — Essie Not A Phase

*pr/gifted

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! A beautiful Autumn Sunday. Today I’m sharing a lovely new shade with you I was recently gifted by my friends at Essie. They were kind enough to send me a whole slew of beautiful polishes, & as soon as I saw the dusty red (& the name!) I knew it was going to be the first swatch I had to share with you.

This is Essie Not A Phase.

2 coats + top coat

Okay, we all know my love for red is undying. What you might not know is my love of Emo & Pop punk music (especially between 2002-2010) is equally unwavering. So when I saw the name of this shade, I knew that it was going to become a favourite.

The formula on this polish is fantastic. It’s very opaque. I did two coats, but honestly I probably could get away with one with careful application. The shade is a nice change from the usual cherry red, which it’s more dusty colour. Very fitting for this time of year & the changing leaves on the trees.

Oh man, I’m kind of obsessed with this shade. It would be so fitting in an Autumn toned skittle which I may have to do soon! So if you’re looking for a different shade of red — I definitely recommend searching this one out!

Even better, this shade is in the current core collection, so you’re able to pick this polish up wherever Essie nail polish is sold.

What do you think of Essie Not A Phase? Do you love this red as much as I do? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Happy Sunday
