Happy Birthday Nails for @Brydiedoesnails

Hello lovelies & happy Saturday! Is everyone excited for Easter this weekend?

Usually I don’t post on Saturdays, but today I’m taking part in a very special birthday collab for a very special nail artist — @brydiedoesnails. Ive participated in this collab a few times, as Brydie is one of my biggest inspirations on Instagram! Her nails always look so incredible, so I was very excited to join in on this collab to celebrate her!

& naturally, I had to choose one of her floral designs to recreate!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Couture Top Coat 
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Essie Gel Couture Gossamer Garments *
  • Madam Glam Acrylic Nail Art Pen in Pink *
  • Madam Glam Acrylic Nail Art Pen in White*

** PR/gifted

How pretty are these little floral tips? As soon as I saw this design, I knew I wanted to recreate it. & using my Madam Glam nail artist pens made it so incredibly easy too! But I like that they don’t look too easy, & I love that.

You definitely need to check out all the amazing nail artists that participated in this collab:

•@raikasnails 

•@blunki_nails 

•@nutshellnails

& shout out to @neeles_nails who organized us all together to give this special birthday shout out to Brydie!

Enjoy your Saturday!

Pastel Floral Accent Nails 🌸🌱

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! A beautiful Friday at that. Today I’m excited — not just because the snow is almost completely melted away, but I have a beautiful floral design to share with you!

The weather may not seem to know it’s Spring outside, but my nails certainly do!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Couture Top Coat 
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • OPI Nature Strong Cactus What You Preach
  • OPI Nature Strong Emflowered
  • OPI Canolli On My Mind
  • OPI Sickeningly Sweet
  • OPI Check Out The Old Geysers
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool 

How pretty did this Spring floral turn out? I think it turned out even better than I pictured in my head, & I just love it. I feel like anything to distract me from the lack of real Spring weather is what I need right now.

What do you think of my Spring floral? We’re close… so close to real Spring weather. But in the meantime, at least I have my nails! 🌿🌸

Happy Friday loves!

Spring-y Pink Floral Vibes (Again)

Hello loves & happy Friday! It’s almost the weekend & isn’t that just wonderful.

Today I have more floral for you. I know — I just can’t get enough! & this one turned out especially beautiful, so I’m really excited to share it. Even though we had snow the other day, it didn’t stick & the days are definitely feeling warmer. Spring is definitely on its way, & it is lovely to feel that sunshine on your face!

So bring on all the floral nails!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Couture Top Coat 
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Hard Candy Crush On Hot Pink
  • Essie Muchi Muchi
  • Essie Play Date
  • Essie Off Tropic
  • Ellen Tracy Hot Pink (no name)
  • Ellen Tracy Dusty Pink (no name)
  • Madam Glam Acrylic Nail Art Pen in Purple
  • Madam Glam Acrylic Nail Art Pen in Green
  • Madam Glam Acrylic Nail Art Pen in Black
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

I feel like this week I’ve very much been on a purple & pink kick. They’re usually the shades I have hanging around on my nail desk, so I guess that is why I grab them most frequently. I just adore how my floral turned out though, & I’m really proud of the finished product. I also think the hot pink base is especially fun. Let’s bring on some brighter days!

So what do you think about my floral design? I’m so, so ready for real Spring days! I did break out one of my floral dresses the other day, & it felt great to wear it! I cannot wait until I can wear one everyday. That’s when it will really feel like Spring!

Happy Friday love

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!

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
