Barbiecore Chevron Moons 💗🌙

•contains pr/gifted product•

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a lovely week. It’s (almost) the weekend!

I’m super pumped because I am going to see Barbie tonight for a Bachelorette thing — my first time to the movies since I was pregnant with my now six year old! I’m so excited for this movie, so naturally I had to do some Barbie pink nails for the occasion. & I knew that the new pink shades in the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s collection were the perfect choices for my vibrant Barbie look!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glossy Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glazed Top Coat (over my base coat)
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nostalchick
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Beet Me At The Mall
  • TheBaseCoat Stacked Chevron vinyls

I truly think that chevron moon designs (like this) still remain one of my all time favourite nail art looks! & it’s been so long since I did one, which is kind of crazy.

But if there was ever a perfect Barbie nail art look, this one might be it. & I’m very excited to show off this nail art look when sipping my Diet Coke at the movies tonight!

What do you think of my Barbiecore chevron moons? Are you excited for the Barbie movie? Will you be painting your nails special to see it in theatres? Let me know in the comments below!

SWATCH SUNDAY — Olive & June Summer 2023

•pr•gifted•

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! Today I’m super excited because I have a brand new (to me) nail polish brand to share with you that was recently gifted to me.

Olive & June is a nail polish brand that sells both nail polish & press on nails. They have an extensive range of 15-free nail polishes in a ton of exciting colours, so I felt super blessed to be send their Summer box which contained everything I need for the perfect summer manicure. While I’ve used their nail art stickers before, I’ve never tried their nail polish!

The summer collection contains 6 polishes — 5 cream/crelly shades, & one shimmery topper.

Barbie Glitter Nails 💗

Hello lovelies & happy Friday!

It’s a beautiful sunny Summer day here, & I feel like these nails are perfect for a Summer day. I actually wore this look most of the week, which is very unusual for me, so I figured I had to share! It’s a simple look, but also is a little extra fancy compared to just a plain design. & it’s giving me serious Barbie vibes.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry
  • Essie Worth the Tassel
  • ACO by Ardene Pop To It

I was actually debating which glitter I should apply over Worth the Tassel, as I have a few neon glitters from Ardene. But as soon as I applied this pink, I knew I made the right decision. & come on, you can totally picture Malibu Barbie wearing this manicure!

What do you think of this glitter look? Would you rock a Barbie-esque manicure like this? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below.

& enjoy the weekend vibes!

Sparkly Glitter Gradient ✨

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! A beautiful, sunny & warm Monday. It’s feeling like Summer today, & I’m loving every moment of it.

Today I gave a super simple, easy nail art look that anyone can do! I love a good glitter gradient, & it is such an easy way to spruce up a relatively plain manicure.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry
  • Essie Revenge’s A Beach
  • Sinful Colors Pride

What I love most about a glitter gradient is you don’t really need any tools. Obviously, you can sponge on the glitter, but I usually just apply it using the brush as I find it easiest (& least messy).

These are definitely the look you need to do if you have a special occasion you want fancy nails for, but aren’t too comfortable with nail art. I swear, anyone can rock this look easily! In fact, I’m already planning another one in my head featuring a few glitters I don’t use too often — stay tuned!

What do you think about this fun glitter gradient? Also yes — that is the same polish from yesterday’s Swatch Sunday post. Crazy how different lighting can make it look different! Natural light vs Light Box.

Have a fantastic beginning to your week loves! 🖤

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE APRIL — Butterfly 🦋

Hello lovelies & happy May 1st! Can you believe we’re almost half way into this year? It’s crazy. But before I jump head first into a new month, I want to finish off Glam Nails Challenge April with the last prompt — Butterfly.

There were so many ideas that popped into my head with this prompt, but in the end I decided I wanted to do a neutral, almost naked, base with a little sparkle & shimmery butterflies. & I’m so beyond happy with the end result.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Glow & Shine 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry Top
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Frill Seeker
  • Color Club On The List
  • Starrily Vantablack
  • Essence Violet Voltage
  • OPI My Gecko Does Tricks
  • Nailstuff.ca clear stamper & scraper set
  • Unknown stamping plate (which I bought as part of a set at Dollarama years ago.)

How pretty did these turn out. I just knew I wanted my butterflies to have a little bit of colour & I adore the shimmery purple & green together. It’s a very pretty combination. Works very well with the little bit of holographic glitter on the base shade. It’s subtle but also eye catching at the same time.

I’m kind of obsessed!

I can’t believe another month is behind us! Kind of crazy. I had so much fun with the challenge this month, & I hope you enjoyed all the manicures too!

Happy Monday!
