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

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!

Hard to believe how quickly this month is going & it’s been so, so hard personally. But we are inching closer to Spring & Spring weather & I’m so ready for beautiful days & sunshine & all my cute Spring dresses. So in the meantime, while we wait for warmer days, how about some more floral.

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

Pink & Purple Stained Glass Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Friday.

I won’t lie — this has been an incredibly difficult week personally. But I’m pushing through, because if one thing painting my nails (& blogging) does, is it helps my mental health. & pretty nails always make me happy.

Today’s look was a quick stained glass look I did the other night featuring Essie. I’ve been wearing a lot of the Essie in my stash lately! They just have such a beautiful variety of colours to choose from.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Essie Flowerista
  • Essie Swoon in the Lagoon
  • Essie Expressie Choreo Queen *pr
  • Quo by Orly Striper in black
  • Small dotting tool (to fill in) NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio

I think these turned out so pretty. I love these colours together. Pink & purple are always my favourite colours to combine. & I think this is such a pretty Spring-y combination — that isn’t floral. Don’t get me wrong, I love floral (& I have a ton of floral to come!)

What do you think about this geometric look? Would you wear a design like this? Let me know in tbe comments below what you think.

Neon Print Floral 🌸 (Featuring Madam Glam Nail Art Pens)

Contains PR/Gifted Product

Hello lovelies & happy Monday!

I’m not sure about your part of the world, but here in mine we’ve been stuck in a frozen wasteland for a while. It’s been a rough Winter (& it’s only the beginning of March) so I’ve been wishing & dreaming for Spring a lot lately.

& what do I do when I’m wistfully wishing for Spring? Paint flowers on my nails, of course. & floral was the perfect excuse to really test out my new set of Madam Glam Nail Art Pens I was recently gifted by them.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

How absolutely adorable did these turn out? Honestly, it’s been a while since I really used nail art pens so I was a little rusty, but I think I created a very cute Spring-y look with these Madam Glam nail art pens. They definitely took me a bit of practice, but I do find it you matte-ify your base colour with a matte top coat, it makes it less slippy for drawing your design. It is like using markers on a sheet of paper versus a white board — you get an easier less slippery surface to draw on.

Over all, I’m really impressed with these nail art markers. They make drawing quite simple, & I look forward to testing them out for more designs! Highly recommend!

What do you think about this cute floral look? Have you ever tried nail art pens for creating nail art? Let me know what you think down in the comments below, & what looks you might like to see me attempt with my new collection of Madam Glam Nail Art pens!

Happy Monday!

Simple Blue Dotticure (Featuring Madam Glam!)

*contains PR/Gifted Product

Hello lovelies — long. time no see! This month has been a rough one, & sadly that meant I had to take a very unplanned break from blogging. But I’m back, & ready to share all the pretty designs I was creating during my impromptu hiatus.

Today, I am excited because I have some new products to share with you I was gifted from the very kind Madam Glam. They reached out to me about sending me some of their nail polishes & products, & I jumped at the opportunity! You might remember I did a post sharing some of their gel polishes a very years ago, so when I found out they were now doing non-gel nail polishes, I couldn’t wait to try them out! It look a while to reach me (thank you Canada Post strike), but I’m very excited to share all these goodies with you. First thing I did? I’ll have a full swatch post of what I received, but I couldn’t wait to try out some of the goodies & decided to create this fun dotticure design!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

I’m sure you’ve heard me gush about my love for nail art pens before (especially for easy polka dot nails!) so when I saw they now had them in their collection, I knew I needed to try them out! You just open the pen, press down on the tip, then give the pen a shake until you start to see colour. Then draw to your hearts desire!

Super easy, & something I always love for creating nail art. I’ll have many more designs to share using these pens coming soon!

What do you think about this polka dot design I created? I love this pale blue for Spring, even if it is still very much Winter outside my window. Those warmer days are coming, so I’m ready to fully embrace all the Spring vibes I can get my hands on

Hope everyone has a fabulous Thursday!
