Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! We have another rainy one today, which is quite disappointing. But you know what can turn a lame, rainy day around? Cute floral nails!
Yep! We’re back to some shorties again. At this point, it’s inevitable! I work in retail, & retail is rough on your nails! But I do kind of like these rounded shorties. & you know I am always going to love when I paint floral on my nails.

Hello lovelies & happy Tuesday! Another beautiful sunny Tuesday to enjoy (at least here!) today I’m sharing a design I haven’t done in what feels like ages… with a Spring twist. In fact, this pretty manicure was pretty in close in colour to the flowers beginning to pop up in our garden! 🌿🌸
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
Top Coat: LA Colors Rapid Dry Top Coat
OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
OPI Sickeningly Sweet
OPI Nature Strong Cactus What You Preach
Quo Beauty Bluebell
Essie Muchi Muchi
NailStuff.ca 4mm detail brush (I couldn’t find my really thin dotting tool I usually use)
So I’m not going to lie — my top coat of choice for this manicure (the LA Colours rapid dry top coat) is not a good choice for a layered polish design like this, & you can see why on my thumb. It gave it a weird wrinkly look which I was not happy about.
However, over all I love love love this design! A drag marble is always a good idea, & the Spring-y colours in this one really bring the design all together. It feels very 2000s Pucci-like, & I mean that in the best possible way!

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope your week has been going beautifully. The weather has been pretty stunning the last couple days (minus the rain currently falling) & it’s feeling like Spring. So let’s break out the Spring nail art designs!
Today’s look is a combination of a design I quite love (half moons) with a little twist. I was checking out 2024 nail art trends, & saw that Y2K was trending — so, as a millennial who grew up during the height of Y2K — I wanted to relive my pre-teen/teenage years.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
Top Coat: LA Girl Rapid Dry Top Coat
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Red It Online
When I paired the red & pink together I was a little scared it would look a bit Valentine-y, but with the added flowers it came out super cute. & I think it channels Y2K without being too over the top. It is also giving Spring vibes, which I’m here for. I’ve been wearing a lot of my floral dresses lately, so it pairs perfectly!

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! It’s a sunny, albeit chilly, Monday here which gives me hope that maybe Spring isn’t as far off as it feels. Today, I’m summoning Spring with a pretty floral design because…. I’m so over Winter.
I painted this look over yesterday’s Swatch Sunday pick, & I have to say even though it’s not blatantly a Spring colour scheme, I love how it came out.
I just love how these turned out. Usually, my go to floral is a rose design, but I’m trying to brand out of my comfort zone. Originally, I had planned just to do a few accent nails, but it looked so good I did all 10 nails instead! I really like this light peach over the dark base — it really makes it pop!
Over all, one of my absolute favourite designs I’ve done in a while.
I’ve been feeling so stupid & meh when it comes to my nails lately — especially after my serious nail break — but as soon as I did these I just few renewed again. It’s true, floral makes everything better.

Hello lovelies & happy Valentine’s Day! 💗 I know today is not a day everyone enjoys, especially if you’re not currently in love, but it is a great day for nail art, & naturally I needed to do something themed for today. I really, really wanted something red & pink to wear, & this was the look I decided on!
How cute are these little cuticle hearts? This is definitely a simpler Valentine’s Day nail art look, but I think that’s why I love it so much. It gets the point across, but isn’t over the top. Simple & chic, which is what I feel like my nail art has really been leaning towards lately! I think I’m due for some fun over the top nails soon.
