Glittery Chevron Claws ✨🔪

Hello lovelies & happy Friday!

This week has been a whirlwind, & a lot has been going on, but I refused to skip out of a final (non challenge) design of the week!

Today is an easy design that turned out so perfect — glittery chevron claws. It’s just the perfect amount of sparkle.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle) 
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
  • Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Belle of the Ball
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Rockstar Pink
  • Deep Chevron Nail Vinyls

Look at the close up of that sparkle — isn’t that just so pretty? Also the pinky purple blue glitter just looks so beautiful paired with the dark base of Belle of the Ball.

Pink Holo Half Moons 🌙

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday.

Trying to post all the designs I did during my hiatus from posting, & I thought this was a fun & easy design. You know I adore half moons, & I love how this one turned out.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist Advanced
  • Top Coat: Essence Colour Shield Top Coat
  • Wrenn Polish Ruby Slippers
  • Essie No More Film
  • Essie Leggy Legend
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio (smallest size)
  • Paper Hole Reinforcements

Half moons are such an easy look. I added my little gold dots to make it a bit more exciting, & I really like how they turned out. Mostly I’ve been leaning into the Spring shades in my collection, but every so often I reach for something darker.

What do you think about these half moons? Do you like this combination of colours?

Bronze-y Autumn Half Moons

Hello loves & the happiest of Fridays! It’s almost the weekend — & I’m excited because we’re going to do some Halloween decorating with the kids tomorrow. It’s my most favourite time of year & I’m absolutely soaking it all in!

Today I have another fun Autumn toned design to share with you. This one is a pretty easy one I feel like anyone can recreate, & it’s definitely eye catching.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie First Base 
  • Base Coat: LA Colors Mega Grow Treatment 
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Essie Frilly Lillies
  • Essie Leggy Legend
  • Essie Kimono Over
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio (smallest size)
  • Paper Hole Reinforcements (mine are from Dollarama)

So I totally went out of my comfort zone on the colour scheme of this design, but I feel like it’s really giving Autumn. Not usually an orange/bronze all over girl — normally I probably would have used Kimono Over as my dominant colour — but I really wanted to try something different. & I have to say — I kind of over it. I’m definitely glad I didn’t stick to my comfort zone, & instead tried something new.

What do you think of this half moon look? Do you like the colour combination? Is this a pairing you would wear? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below!

Happy Friday!

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE MARCH — Butterflies 🦋

Hey beauties & happy Wednesday! I wish u could say it’s a beautiful Spring day… but March is really March-ing here in the East Coast & I hate it.

Today though, I have the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge March which is butterflies! 🦋

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: China Glaze Fast Forward Top 
  • OPI Nature Strong Cactus What You Preach
  • Ardene Dreaming
  • Ardene La Luna
  • What’s Up Beauty Butterflies Stencils
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

For this look, I painted my nails with my base OPI Cactus What You Preach topped with Ardene dreaming. When that was dry, I then peeled out individual butterflies from my stencil & applied them to the nail where I wanted my butterflies. Quickly, I painted overtop with Ardene La Luna. When I removed the butterflies stickers, you could see the blue underneath, & I went into with my nail art brush & added little bodies & antenna so they’d really look like butterflies.

It wasn’t the easiest to peel off the butterfly stickers after painting over them, but I think this look turned out too cute! You can definitely tell they’re butterflies, & that’s all that matters.

What do you think about this fun butterfly design? You can see all the beautiful Glam Nails Challenge March designs on Instagram under the hashtag #glamnailschallengemarch — there are so many beautiful designs to see!

Have a beautiful Wednesday lovelies 🖤

Pink & Purple Half Moons

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I hope the week has been treating everyone lovely so far. Today I’ve got another nail art look to share, & this time we’re going bright!

I was really in the mood for some pink & purple half moons — kind of an early Valentine’s Day look — mostly because I love a good half moon design.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Essie Expressie IRL
  • Quo Beauty Show Stopper
  • Paper Hole Reinforcements

Gosh, I will never not love a half moon design — especially when it turns out this clean! Plus pink & purple are just the perfect combination. I thought about adding a little matte top coat as well, but I think the shiny is just too good together. 💜💗

What do you think about my half moon design? Do you love the pink & purple together as much as I do? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Enjoy your Wednesday loves! 🖤
