Fun Pastel Abstract Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday!

I hope you’re having the most wonderful week so far. It’s surprisingly chilly today, albeit sunny, so I’ll try to enjoy that. Today I have a fun nail art look I created on a whim, that I couldn’t wait to share. Abstract nails are such an easy nail art look to do, because there is no “right” or “wrong” way to do them. You just basically get to throw some polish on your nails, & you end up with something fun! I love manicures like that.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Tutu At The Ballet
  • Essie Muchi Muchi
  • OPI Infinite Shine Sickeningly Sweet
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Gloss-Sea
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Ghouls Night Out
  • Quo Beauty Stormy Night
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

How much fun! I’m not sure what kind of art I was going for, but these kind of remind me of like early 90s TV opening. A fun look to wear.

Spring Drag Marble

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!

Y2K Inspired Half Moons & Floral 🌸

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
  • Essie Swoon in the Lagoon
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pretty Peony
  • Essie Muchi, Muchi
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

I think these turned out so, so cute!

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!

What do you think about these half moons? Do you like the combination of nail art? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below, & share what nail art trends you’re loving right now!

Enjoy your Friday. 🖤

Purple Abstract Stripes

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! We’ve made it to the end of the week. Today I’m sharing a quick easy look I did the other day that I thought was a nice pop of colour. You know how much I love some abstract stripes, & purple, so I combined the two into a bright fun look!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • OPI Sickeningly Sweet
  • OPI Dutch Ya Just Love OPI
  • OPI Turn Off The Northern Lights
  • OPI One Heckla of a Color
  • OPI I Cannoli Wear OPi
  • NailStuff.ca 16mm striper brush

Loving this combination of colours. I’ll admit, January is probably my most uninspired month after all the fun holiday manicures. But this one definitely makes me happy. I’m also planning on some floral soon, which always makes the day better too. I really want to do a black roses design soon!

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER — New Year Celebration

Good morning & happy New Year! 🍾🎆 It’s officially 2024 & I hope everyone had a safe New Years Eve. I’m very excited for things to come, but before we focus on a brand new year, I still have one more manicure from Glam Nails Challenge December to share!

The last prompt is New Year Celebration.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Essie Make Spirits Bright
  • Ardene Style Icon
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Ghouls Night Out
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Goldie Rocks
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Let’s Snow
  • Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio

I really wanted to do a fun year inspired design, especially because 10 years ago I did a similar design for New Year’s Eve. Plus, I’m really hopeful for 2024. Last year had some rough moments for me personally, so I’m hoping that 2024 holds better things.

Obviously, I needed a lot of sparkle. & I added a little dotticure on my thumb to look like confetti.

What do you think of my New Year’s Eve design? Did you wear something sparkly to ring in 2024? ✨🍾
