Good morning lovelies & happy Sunday! It’s a beautiful chilly Sunday here. November is definitely in full swing. Today I have a long awaited swatch post to share with you. I originally had planned to share it last week, but I was super sick so I wasn’t up to blogging of any kind. So, without any further a due: The Ella + Mila Enchanted collection (B).

Hello my lovelies & happy Tuesday!
I know, I’ve kind of switched up my usual posting schedule but only because the last little while has been a bit crazy! But I’ve got another fun manicure to share with you, featuring another favourite October polish. & I’m really happy with how the design turned out.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:

I used to do hand painted swirl designs like this all the time when I first got into nail blogging, but it’s been a while since I did one so it felt like the right time. It’s a cross between like a paisley & a kind of lace design, I guess? I decided to add another layer of holo over my base of OPI DS Extravagance which gave it even more of a POW! effect & I love it.
Just give me all the sparkle. I really, really am craving sparkle, especially with these much shorter days we’ve been having.
What do you think of this holo swirl design? Do you like this hand painted design? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & tell me what your favourite holographic polish is!
Happy Tuesday

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! & a chilly Wednesday at that. October is really speeding along, isn’t it?
Today I’m excited because I recently received some PR from Essie & they were more than generous sending me 25 polishes (!!!) from their regular line, Expressie line & Gel Couture line. Happy early birthday to me. So naturally, as soon as I received these shades I had to grab a few to do my nails with! & since it’s been a while since I rocked them, I decided to test out some new polishes with a little abstract stripe action.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Oh man, I’m so excited by new nail polish — it’s actually hard to convey via blog post, but expect to see a lot of Essie manicures over the next little while. There are some shades I received that I can’t wait to swatch for you!
What do you think about this Autumn abstract stripe design? Are you as excited for some fun Essie manicures to come? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.
Happy Wednesday

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! & happy October!
I know what you’re thinking — no Glam Nails Challenge? As much I’ve had fun the last couple months, I decided to take this month off because I have so many Fall/Halloween designs brewing in my head, I didn’t want to feel restricted!
First design of October is pure Autumn vibes. I created a beautiful subtle gradient using a few of the China Glaze Halloween 2019 shades & then added a little bronze leaf accent on a few nails. I just love how this design came together.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
So originally I was just planning on wearing this Gradient, but even though it’s beautiful it felt like it was just missing something! The addition of a few stamped maple leaves brought everything together! & I think it looks so beautiful. It looks perfect paired with my cosy scarf — which was a necessity on a chilly day like today!
Fall is definitely in the air! 🍂🍁
What do you think about this Autumn inspired Gradient? Do you have favourite colours/designs to wear during October? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below, & stay tuned for lots of fun & spooky October designs to come!

Good morning lovelies & happy Wednesday! It’s a beautiful & slightly chilly day here on the the East Coast — very Fall-like. Makes you want to snuggle up in your favourite cardigan & sip on pumpkin spice!
Today we have another Glam Nails September look to share, for the prompt Sunflower. This one I’m very excited about because I feel like it turned out so beautifully, & it’s embodies Autumn vibes to a tee!
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Okay, how perfect is this colour combination? I’ve been wanting to apply Starrily Magma over a dark green for a while now, & I think it turned out so beautifully. It really reminds me of a leaf, mid change in the Fall. I’m obsessed.
Secondly, I just love these little sunflowers turned out. The colours compliment the base so perfectly, & they just look so perfect. 🌻 I couldn’t have asked for it to turn out more perfectly, & I honestly never wanted to take them off. I could have worn them for weeks… if I didn’t have other manicures to complete this month!
What do you think about my cute little sunflowers? Do you love this look as much as I do? Oh man, I always forget about floral for Fall, but it is beautiful! 🧡
