Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! We have another rainy one today, which is quite disappointing. But you know what can turn a lame, rainy day around? Cute floral nails!
Yep! We’re back to some shorties again. At this point, it’s inevitable! I work in retail, & retail is rough on your nails! But I do kind of like these rounded shorties. & you know I am always going to love when I paint floral on my nails.
What do you think about this pretty floral? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.
Good morning lovelies & happy Tuesday… it’s been a while. This month has been so insane, & my nail painting has really fallen off. Trying my best to get back into it though, & today I have some fun (& relatively simple!) nail art to share with you.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: Essie Here to Stay
Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter
OPI Dining al Frisco
OPI Infinite Shine Sound of Vibrance
OPI Infinite Shine Shaking My Sugar Plums

How good are these blues & purples together? I definitely feel like those are my colours lately, right down to my hair colour. But I just love a good colour block, & this design is so easy to do — & you don’t even need any nail art tools!
You definitely could use nail vinyls or tape if you’re not comfortable freehanding though. I like going over my lines with the black though, because I feel like it hides any mistakes you might have done, plus makes the blue really pop!
What do you think of this colour block featuring some fun OPI shades from my stash? Do you love how these shades pair together as much as me? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments below & what you’d like to see next?
Good morning lovelies & happy Thursday! How is everyone’s week going so far? I hope it’s been filled with beautiful days.
Today I’m sharing a super easy design that was totally inspired by my daughter. I asked her how I should paint my nails, & she told me rainbow 🌈. I haven’t played with my acrylic paints in a while so I decided to use them for a splatter-y effect, & I think it turned out pretty cool!
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
Top Coat: Seche Vive
OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI
Acrylic Paint
Paint brush
Water
These nails were kind of an experiment because I wasn’t sure initially what I was going to create. I ended up applying drops of acrylic paint on my nails, then using the water to make it spread out a bit. My ring & pinky finger probably turned out my favourite of the 5 on this hand, but I definitely know what I’ll do next time to get the look I want.
These were super easy though, & because I was using acrylic paint vs nail polish I could easy erase any mistakes & start over. My only tip is make sure the acrylic paint is dry before applying top coat, otherwise you’ll end up with some smearing & transferring which kind of mucks up the final look a bit (like on my middle finger). Over all though, such a fun quick look to do.

Hello loves & happy Tuesday! I hope everyone’s week is starting off well. &, if not, that it improves from here on out.
Today I’m sharing some new nail art with you on my baby nails, & it’s a nail art design I don’t think I’ve done for a while: galaxies. 🌌 I was wearing a beautiful glittery nail polish base, & wanted to do something fun overtop. After some time browsing on Pinterest & Instagram for ideas, I decided that a pastel galaxy look was the perfect choice!
Okay I’m kind of obsessed with these. The base of Lavender Sunset topped with Space Debris is already very eye catching, & then you add this pastel galaxy over top & it’s perfection!
I’ve had these stickers from Icing forever (like 2015-ish) but I haven’t really used them. But they made creating stars for my galaxy so easy, then I just added a few dots of Buffalo Nickel so complete it! Bam — the easiest galaxy nails you can create.
What do you think of these glittery pastel galaxies? Is this a look that you would rock? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below & share what design you’d like to see next!
I hope everyone’s week has been beautiful so far. Today I’m excited because I have a pretty, sparkly manicure to show off. & with everything not beautiful happening in the world right now, sometimes you just need to be distracted with something beautiful.
I recently broke my middle finger nail, badly, so that meant it was time for a big chop. Suddenly short nails always make it a bit hard for me to focus on creating beautiful nail art, but I think these pink sparkly abstract stripes were a nice start to another short nail era.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
Top Coat: Seche Vive
China Glaze Don’t Desert Me

China Glaze Fairy Dust
Sally Hansen Insta Dri Luxe Finish Lavish Lilac

Oh man, I love this sparkly base so much. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably noticed me sharing stories of a lot of glittery nails. With all the sunshine we’ve been having, I just can’t get enough of the glitter. It makes me very happy. In fact, this was the base I was wearing when I had my horrible break, so I kept it on & added the nail art over top to wear for a few more days. & I’m glad I did because I really really like how this design turned out. It’s just so pretty!
