Good morning lovelies & happy Sunday! It’s a beautiful chilly Sunday here. November is definitely in full swing. Today I have a long awaited swatch post to share with you. I originally had planned to share it last week, but I was super sick so I wasn’t up to blogging of any kind. So, without any further a due: The Ella + Mila Enchanted collection (B).
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 *
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 Zephyris 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!
Good morning my loves & happy Wednesday! & happy Halloween Eve. Can you believe that we are so close to October being over? Or to Halloween?
Continuing my Halloween designs with a super cute ghost look! I really wanted to do a ghosty design, but with a cute twist. & I think I was successful in creating exactly what I imagined in my head.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
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.
I know, I’ve kind of switched up my usual posting schedule but only because the last little while has been a bit crazy! But I’ve got another fun manicure to share with you, featuring another favourite October polish. & I’m really happy with how the design turned out.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
I used to do hand painted swirl designs like this all the time when I first got into nail blogging, but it’s been a while since I did one so it felt like the right time. It’s a cross between like a paisley & a kind of lace design, I guess? I decided to add another layer of holo over my base of OPI DS Extravagance which gave it even more of a POW! effect & I love it.
Just give me all the sparkle. I really, really am craving sparkle, especially with these much shorter days we’ve been having.
What do you think of this holo swirl design? Do you like this hand painted design? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & tell me what your favourite holographic polish is!
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!
