Spring-y Drag Marble

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday. We’ve actually been enjoying some reason Spring-like weather lately, which I’m loving!

So let me full on embrace the warmer temperatures with some Spring-y drag marble nails.

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 *
  • Essie Play Date
  • Essie Mint Candy Apple
  • Essie Expressie Choreo Queen*
  • NailStuff.ca dotting tool from Dotting Tool Trio (tiniest one)

**PR/gifted

Please excuse the extra tint of purple to my hands, as I took these pictures right after I dyed my hair purple again — & rinsing it out gave me a bit of a Grimace tint. BUT! Look how pretty this drag marble turned out on my nail. Isn’t it beautiful?

I will never be able to (successfully) do water marbling, but drag marble nails I can do! I just absolutely love how fancy they end up looking. They just make me so happy.

What do you think about this drag marble? Isn’t this effect just so much fun? Have you ever tried a drag marble before? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Enjoy your Wednesday!

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

Purple & Pink Abstract Stripes

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday. Can you believe that we’re almost out of March? It’s crazy this year is almost 1/4 done already, but I am definitely happy to feel Spring coming.

Today I’m pulling out one of my favourite go to designs of years past. With the exception of floral (lots, & lots of floral) I haven’t really been feeling inspired nail art wise. So I turned to nail art of years past to figure out what design to show off on my nails.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Couture Top Coat
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Color Club Bright Night
  • Color Club Pucci-Licious
  • Color Club Peppermint Twist
  • Essie Muchi Muchi *pr/gifted
  • Quo by Orly Striper in black
  • NailStuff.ca 16mm Striper Brush

It’s been a while since I did one of these abstract stripe designs, & that is just too overdue. I love the pinks & purples & blue all paired together — they’re super bright & fun!

The kind of nails you want to wear as the weather is getting warmer.

What do you think of my abstract stripe design? What kind of nail art have you been loving lately? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below, & leave me some inspiration for my next design!

Happy Wednesday

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 *

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.
