Purple Triangle Geometric Accent Nails

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! The weekend is almost here.

Today’s nail art look is feeling unintentionally Autumn inspired, even though I swear I’m still in a Summer state of mind. I was feeling more nail vinyls, & remembered these geometric triangle vinyl as I still had from TheBaseCoat, & knew I needed to put them to good use.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glossy Top Coat
  • OPI Infinite Shine Sound of Vibrance
  • OPI Infinite Shine Mariachi Makes My Day
  • OPI Cannoli Wear OPI
  • OPI Press * For Silver
  • The Base Coat Vinyls
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio

I really didn’t think these nails were going to lean so dark & Autumn, but that’s okay — I love them anyways. I would have done all my nails with my vinyls, but I’m starting to get low with this pattern—it’s one of my favourites—& they’re not in production any more.

It just looks so cute! & I added the little tiny dots as accents, & I think it just gives it something a little extra. Yes, early Autumn vibes — but I’m not mad about it! It’s just a little taste.

What do you think of this accent nail design with these geometric triangle vinyls? Are you a fan of accent nail art like this? What kind of nail art are you loving right now?

Barbiecore Chevron Moons 💗🌙

•contains pr/gifted product•

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a lovely week. It’s (almost) the weekend!

I’m super pumped because I am going to see Barbie tonight for a Bachelorette thing — my first time to the movies since I was pregnant with my now six year old! I’m so excited for this movie, so naturally I had to do some Barbie pink nails for the occasion. & I knew that the new pink shades in the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 90s collection were the perfect choices for my vibrant Barbie look!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glossy Top Coat
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Glazed Top Coat (over my base coat)
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nostalchick
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Beet Me At The Mall
  • TheBaseCoat Stacked Chevron vinyls

I truly think that chevron moon designs (like this) still remain one of my all time favourite nail art looks! & it’s been so long since I did one, which is kind of crazy.

But if there was ever a perfect Barbie nail art look, this one might be it. & I’m very excited to show off this nail art look when sipping my Diet Coke at the movies tonight!

What do you think of my Barbiecore chevron moons? Are you excited for the Barbie movie? Will you be painting your nails special to see it in theatres? Let me know in the comments below!

Mediterranean Inspired Tile Nails (Featuring Olive & June)

•contains pr/gifted product•

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far. The sun is finally peaking out, & I’m excited for another break from the rain. We’ve definitely been having a very rainy Summer so far. It has me dreaming of vacation. Maybe it’s the fact we’ve been binge watching Below Deck: Sailing Yacht, but I definitely have been wishing I could take a trip somewhere Mediterranean.

So obviously when I received those beautiful new Olive & June shades, I knew I wanted to try & create something inspired by Mediterranean tiles. The colours were perfect for a Summer vacation on my nails — even if the farthest I’ll be traveling this Summer is to another province.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Olive & June Long Lasting Top Coat
  • Olive & June Not A Cloud
  • Olive & June House of O&J
  • Olive & June Flowerpot
  • Olive & June How Do You Spell Bougainvillea?
  • Olive & June Bocce Ball
  • What’s Up Nails Moroccan Stencils
  • Large Dotting Tool (NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio)

How freaking fun are these? I wasn’t sure how the colours were going to go together until I started, but I really like how they look! When I applied the top coat, it blended the polishes together in an interesting way that made it look a bit faded — which helped with the over all aesthetic I was going for. I really, really love it. I may not be traveling on a super yacht, but at least my nails can give me those vibes.

Also this was definitely the first idea that popped in my head the second I saw this collection.

What do you think of these nails? Are they giving you vacation vibes? Are you a fan of these shades together? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Happy Canada Day Nails 🇨🇦

Good morning lovelies & happy Friday!

It’s almost the weekend. & here in Canada, it’s almost our nation’s birthday. So obviously, I needed some cute Canada Day nails to celebrate the occasion (& the day off work!) I still have a good haul of my Canada Day vinyl stencils from a few years ago, so I decided I should put them to good use.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel x Friends He’s Her Lobster
  • Sally Hansen MG x Friends A Moo Point
  • Sally Hansen MG Red It Twice
  • What’s Up Beauty Canada Flag Stencils (c/o: NailPolishCanada circa 2018)

Please excuse the raindrops on my nails — I took these between bouts of torrential rain. But even the damp conditions couldn’t take away from how cute these turned out! & they were so easy to do with my nail stencils! I definitely couldn’t think about freehanding these maple leaves.

& I got so many compliments when I wore them to work! Which always makes me feel good.

What do you think of my cute Canada Day nails? Let me know in the comments below. & to my fellow Canadians — enjoy your holiday tomorrow!

Holo Mermaid Vibes 🧜🏼‍♀️

Hello lovelies & happy Monday!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend — the last full weekend of June. This means we are almost officially half way through this year, & I just need to slow down a smidge. But I thought we could, & should, start this week off on a sparkly vibe with the nails I wore this past weekend to celebrate my daughter’s 4th birthday. She decided on a Mermaid Princess party, & naturally that means I needed my nails to match.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Londontown KUR Nail Hardener & Base Coat 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vive Fast Dry
  • Essie Gel Couture Princess Charming
  • Essie Expressie FX Iced Out
  • Color Club Bewitched
  • Color Club Crystal Baller
  • Color Club Eternal Beauty
  • Color Club Trick of the Trade
  • Beyond the Nail Mermaid Vinyls

I think these turned out absolutely magical & they were perfect for the theme of the party & the whole day. It was a beautiful sunny day, so the sparkle really came out — which I was hoping for! Originally I was thinking you couldn’t really see the scale pattern, but they got noticed for sure. & my little girl was excited about them!

I don’t have pictures, but she rocked a fun combo of Essie Bikini So Teeny & Birthday Girl for her birthday manicure, with a few nautical themed stickers as accents. The perfect look for my birthday princess.

& a quick pic of my with my birthday princess. My nails almost matched her new special bathing suit!
