Pretty Spring Floral (with Butter London) 🌸

*contains PR/gifted items

Hello beauties & happy Wednesday!

We are back up & running, & I’m trying my best to keep my posting routine going.

I’m hoping today’s nail art look is going to encourage Mother Nature to get her stuff together. The calendar may say Spring, but the weather is screaming December. So maybe. simple floral look will encourage some warmer days — because I want to wear my Spring dresses again!

Today’s look uses my two new Butter London shade for Spring 2026 — Bloomsbury & Posh Petal.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Growth
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Gel Like Top Coat
  • Butter London Pure Colour 21X Bloomsbury
  • Butter London Pure Colour 21X Posh Petal
  • Acrylic Paint
  • Small Nail Art Brush

I love floral nails so much! These were done while I was away from my stash, so I used acrylic paint for my floral instead — because that’s what I had available. I also didn’t have my usual favourite nail art brush from NailStuff, but I think I this look really came together for a beautiful Spring look. I love love love Posh Petal as the sheer base for my flowers, & I think it works perfectly for this naked, but not really naked, effect.

What do you think of this floral look using my new Butter London Spring 2026 shades? Do you like this combination as much as I do?

Sadly, this was my last look I did before breaking two of my long nails, & needing to trim them all down to a much shorter length! I enjoyed having my nails super long, but it’s fun to start over & come up with some cute nail art looks for my baby nails.

Happy Wednesday!

Spring Robin’s Egg Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Monday.

Starting off this full first week of Spring… with a snowstorm. & oh, how I wish I were kidding. But it isn’t going to stop me from rocking some Spring inspired nails! & what is more Spring like than some robin’s eggs? I recently score a killer deal on an Essie shade at my local Shoppers ($1 clearance!), & it was the perfect Spring-y blue, so I knew it would be perfect for some speckled egg nails.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Maximum Grow
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Gel Like Top Coat
  • Matte Top Coat: NailStuff Essentials Matte Top Coat
  • Essie You Do Blue
  • OPI That’s What Friends Are Thor
  • Small nail art brush

I won’t lie, these nails are actually super super easy to do. All you need to do is create some messy specks using a nail art brush — the messier the better. But the real trick to this look is obviously the matte top coat to give it that eggshell finish. & bam! Instant Spring inspired Robin’s egg nails.

&, obviously, if you paint you nail a selection of pale pastel shades, you could create Mini Egg inspired nails easily (as I have done in years past).

What do you think of my Robin’s Egg nails? Would you wear a simple nail art like this to channel Spring? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below!

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday. It’s… been a while.

I was super excited to find two brand new Pure Colour 21X shades waiting for me, & now that the calendar is reading Spring, maybe some pretty Spring nails will help encourage Mother Nature a little more.

Check out these gorgeous new shades down below!

Burgundy Reindeer Sweater Nails 🦌

Hello lovelies & happy Monday! I hope everyone had a stellar weekend — the first weekend of November. I know mine was definitely a busy one at work. You can feel the holiday spirit already seeping into the air. Also, Starbucks Holiday cups are back — as is the gingerbread latte! — so that really makes you realize how quickly the end of 2023 is approaching.

But I’m staring off this week with some sweater nails, done prior to my big nail break on Friday. You know me — I love a good sweater inspired manicure. As soon as the weather gets that extra bit of chill, I’m all about the sweater nails.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essence Colour Grip Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Ruby Do
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Ski Bunny
  • Sally Hansen CSM Pat On the Black
  • Sally Hansen InstaDri Ghouls Night Out
  • Discontinued Born Pretty Store stamping plate
  • Nailstuff.ca clear stamper & scraper set
  • Nailstuff.ca metallic studs (no longer available)

It’s been a while since I pulled out any of my studs, & I kind of missed how they complete a look! Of course, I wore in retail so I banged mine up really quickly, but you can’t even notice from far away.

I also feel like this design is a good in-between look before we start getting into our more Christmas-y designs. I would be prepared for a whole lot of Sweater nails this month! I always find November my hardest month for nail art inspiration, because it’s half way between Fall & Winter, I don’t want to do Christmas too soon, & I’m never quite sure what I want to wear on my nails.

What do you think about my sweater nails? Do you think these are a fun November look? What kind of nail art do you gravitate towards in November? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below & let me know what kind of nail art you would like to see!

Have a fantastic Monday ♥︎
