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

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!

Happy Thursday.

Emoji Inspired Nails 💋💗🌈🌸 (Easy Nail Art)

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! It’s hot, sunny & beautiful lately & feels just like the kind of Summer days I like.

Today I’m sharing a new manicure & a bit of a nail art hack. I’ve posted before about my absolute love of nail art stickers.

Recently I was in my local Dollarama & found these massive sheets of small foil emoji inspired stickers for $1.25 & thought they would be perfect for stick on earrings for my daughter. But then I realized they were the perfect size to potentially work for nail art stickers & so naturally I bought 2.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Here to Stay
  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter
  • China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely
  • China Glaze Everglaze Optimal Opal
  • Dollarama Small Foil Emoji Stickers

Okay I’m really really impressed with how easily these stuck to my nails, & adhered to my already dry base. They were fairly flexible & easy to stick on the nail, or adjust slightly if needed. I used tweezers to pull them from my sheet, & attach them to my nails, & most of the stickers I picked were easy to apply.

For removal, it was just as easy to take off. I did have a few stickers which were lifting by the end of the day, but that could be avoided with a thicker top coat.

Over all, I think these stickers were perfect for easy nail art at a great low price. Obviously, I want to support small businesses that sell nail art stickers, but times are tough right now, & I think everyone deserves to have beautiful nails so if you can find cute stickers to use on your nails at an affordable price — you should totally take advantage of it!

Would you want me to do a post featuring other Dollar Store items I’ve found for doing your nails? Let me know down in the comments below!

Happy Thursday!

Half Moons & Nail Art Stickers

Good morning lovelies & happy Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful week! It’s almost the weekend, which is looking to be wet & rainy. Not so much fun for summer. But I have a fun, bright Summery look to share with you!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Here to Stay
  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter
  • Essie Swoon in the Lagoon
  • Essie In The Cab-ana
  • Assorted nail art stickers (including some from Olive & June)

Okay, I’ll be honest — I’m not a 100% sure how I feel about this look. I love my half moons, because I always love a good half moon design, but I’m not sure how I feel about the addition of my little nail art stickers. I’m not sure if they mesh together, or clash, but I really wanted to do something different.

What do you think about this sticker half moon design? I’m really trying to come up with newer nail art designs, but after 10 years of this blog, I’m getting a bit stuck on what to do. Maybe I should break out my stamping plates again, & see what fun patterned nails I can come up with!

Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend!

🖤

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER—Poinsettia

Contains PR/gifted product from NailStuff.ca

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. I’m excited today because not only do I have the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December to share, but it’s featuring some goodies from my favourite nail art site NailStuff.ca!

She recently added some new nail art stickers to her site for Christmas. I’ve used her stickers a ton, so I knew I needed to added some fun Christmas ones to my stash. & Victoria was so kind as to send me 6 new sheets of nail art stickers to play with!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

How cute are these little poinsettia stickers?!

I was so happy these arrived in time for me to be able to use them for this prompt. I already had my nails painted with this base colour (Dimension Nails Hooded Seal topped with Starrily Space Debris) so it was super easy just to pop these stickers on top of my existing manicure! & once I topped them with top coat, you couldn’t even tell they were stickers.

What do you think about these poinsettia nails for Glam Nails Challenge December? Are you enjoying the manicures so far? Are you a fan of nail art stickers for quick & easy nail art?

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER— Jack O Lantern 🎃🎃

Good morning lovelies & happy Wednesday! It’s halfway to the weekend, a little more than halfway to Halloween — it’s a good day! Today we’re continuing with our manicures for Glam Nails Challenge October, & the next prompt is Jack O Lantern.

Now, I know I literally just posted a manicure using nail art stickers, & I really try not to post the same kind of nail art two posts in a row. But when I saw the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge, I knew that I had to use these Jack O Lantern nail art stickers stickers, even if I was repeating.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat
  • ‘Ard As Nails Not Your Mama’s Pumpkin Spice
  • Dollarama Halloween Nail Art Stickers

First off, excited to be wearing this gorgeous ‘Ard As Nails shade again as its name is perfect for this theme! It has a fun hint of holo glitter, & the pumpin-y orange fits right in. & then these stickers — how freaking cute as these stickers?! Nail Art stickers really are the answer to easy nail art, & I love them. These ones, like my previous manicure, were purchased c/o: my local Dollarama store (I think last year) but you can find lots of cute Halloween nail art stickers at places like NailStuff.ca — she just got in a bunch of new arrivals — & Amazon. I’ve also seen this Wet N Wild Fantasy Makers stickers at my local Walmart as well.

I’m definitely already getting excited to stock up on some for Christmas as well!

What do you think of this Jack O Lantern design? Do you think that Halloween stickers make for a great nail art look? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below! & stay tuned because we only have a few more Glam Nails Challenge nail art looks to go.
