Silly Jack-o-Lanterns 🎃

*contains PR

Hello loves & happy Tuesday!

I’m continuing on with my fun Halloween looks with another freehand design. I attempted a cute Jack o Lantern look… & this is how it turned out haha. This is definitely not my best freehand design, but I still think it’s super cute (& a good easy look for someone to do.)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Tangerine Dream
  • Ella + Mila Aurora Lights *
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Essie Willow in the Wind
  • Quo by ORLY striper in black
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*PR/gifted

My thumb is definitely my favourite of my nails! It turned out how I wish the rest of the nails looked. It was my own fault though, as I used my Quo striper & it’s gotten a bit thick with use. Either way, it’s a fun Halloween look & that’s what this week is all about. 🎃

What do you think about these Jack o Lantern nails? Do you think this look is cute? Would you wear a pumpkin look like this? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below & tell me what your Halloween costume is this year!

Enjoy your Tuesday

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! It’s a beautiful but oh so chilly morning. It’s also officially the countdown to Halloween, so my goal is to share a Halloween themed nail look every day leading up to Halloween.

& my first Halloween look to share are some freehand drippy blood nails!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Bourdeax *
  • Ella + Mila Everglow *
  • Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

*gifted

I always love when people post their drippy blood nails, so I had to give it a try. The red on red also looks very cool! These would be an awesome manicure to wear if you were doing like a vampire costume. Kind of reminds me of Drusilla from Buffy!

What do you think of my drippy blood nails for Halloween? Have you picked your Halloween nails yet? Let me know all your thoughts & let me know what you’ll be wearing.

Have a great Monday!

Easy Halloween Skittle with Ella + Mila

*contains PR

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! The countdown is officially on — we have one week until Halloween! Guess it is time to sneak in as many Halloween manicures as I can!

Today we’re starting off easy with some Halloween nail art stickers on a skittle. I was recently gifted some beautiful polishes from Ella + Mila, & I thought they would be a fun base for some new Dollarama nail art stickers! So I paired the colours together with a few simple stickers & I think it turned out so fun. Chic & simple.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Ella + Mila All About The Base (Base Coat) *
  • Top Coat: Ella + Mila In A Rush (Top Coat) *
  • Ella + Mila Oasis *
  • Ella + Mila Dragonfly *
  • Ella + Mila Violet Skies
  • Ella + Mila Zephyr *
  • Dollarama Halloween Nail Art Stickers

*gifted

How beautiful are these shades from Ella + Mila? I feel like these colours are perfect for Halloween nail art that’s not typical colours. I mean, I feel like purple & orange are classic Halloween colours, but the dark purple & pink do work as well too. I will have full Swatches of the whole collection I was send coming hopefully this weekend, or the next. But I couldn’t wait to put on a few of the shades as soon as I received them! They’re just so beautiful.

& I recently found more fun new Halloween nail art stickers at my local Dollarama store, so naturally I needed to use them immediately. For $1.25 they’re such a steal!

What do you think about this manicure? Do you like this Halloween skittle? Would you wear this design? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Happy Thursday.

Frankenstein’s Monster French Manicure 🧟‍♀️

*contains PR

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! I hope everyone’s week is going well so far. Today I’m sharing another perfect Halloween manicure to get us ready! This look was partially inspired by @polished_yogi & a recent post featuring Halloween designs — but I decided to take my own spin on it.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Matte Top Coat: NailStuff Essentials Matte Top Coat *
  • Essie Expressie Main Character Moment *
  • Quo By Orly Black Striper

*gifted

I love the look of French manicures on other people, but I’ve never been able to make them look good on me. If someone knows the trick to making them look so good, I would love to know. However, I do think these are probably the best looking French nails I’ve ever attempted, & they’re fun too!

I do a version of Frankenstein’s monster nails every year, so it’s fun to try & keep it fresh. I only wish I had thought to add some glow in the dark nail polish over my tips because I did the black stitching because it would have looked really cool. Oh well, always next time!

What do you think of these Halloween-y nails? Do you like this stitched up French manicure look? Let me know what you think down in the comments below!

Happy Thursday!

Spooky Season Holo Skull & Crossbones ☠️🖤

*contains PR

Hello lovelies & happy Friday. I hope everyone’s had a great week so far.

The weekend is almost here & it’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada so I expect to be in a full food coma by Sunday night. I thought it would be fun, though, so start my Spooky Season nails with a fun little skull & cross bones design.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

How fun as these?! Again, I got to use another one of those beautiful Essie shades I was recently gifted which is very exciting. Sadly, I wore these on a day when it was cloudy & rainy so the fun holo effect was not showing up very well.

What do you think of this fun holo skull look? Just a little dip into the Halloween nails to come. ☠️ You know me, Halloween is my favourite season for nail art, so I’m excited to share lots of fun designs with you.

Enjoy your Friday!
