Today’s Swatch Sunday post is a super exciting one because I have the opportunity to share with you soon to be launched (aka launching tomorrow!) products from NailStuff.ca — their very own in house brand: NailStuff Essentials. & I was lucky enough to be able to be invited to swatch these new products to share with you!
The new line contains 4 products: base coat, top coat, matte top coat, & holographic top coat. Each bottle contains 15ml of product, & is cruelty free, vegan, non-toxic & made in the USA.
You can tell that a lot of love & dedication went into the creation of this treatment line, so let’s take a look!
Hello lovelies & happy Friday. I hope everyone’s had a great week so far.
The weekend is almost here & it’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada so I expect to be in a full food coma by Sunday night. I thought it would be fun, though, so start my Spooky Season nails with a fun little skull & cross bones design.
How fun as these?! Again, I got to use another one of those beautiful Essie shades I was recently gifted which is very exciting. Sadly, I wore these on a day when it was cloudy & rainy so the fun holo effect was not showing up very well.
What do you think of this fun holo skull look? Just a little dip into the Halloween nails to come. ☠️ You know me, Halloween is my favourite season for nail art, so I’m excited to share lots of fun designs with you.
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.

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!
I know what you’re thinking — no Glam Nails Challenge? As much I’ve had fun the last couple months, I decided to take this month off because I have so many Fall/Halloween designs brewing in my head, I didn’t want to feel restricted!
First design of October is pure Autumn vibes. I created a beautiful subtle gradient using a few of the China Glaze Halloween 2019 shades & then added a little bronze leaf accent on a few nails. I just love how this design came together.
So originally I was just planning on wearing this Gradient, but even though it’s beautiful it felt like it was just missing something! The addition of a few stamped maple leaves brought everything together! & I think it looks so beautiful. It looks perfect paired with my cosy scarf — which was a necessity on a chilly day like today!
Fall is definitely in the air! 🍂🍁
What do you think about this Autumn inspired Gradient? Do you have favourite colours/designs to wear during October? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below, & stay tuned for lots of fun & spooky October designs to come!
Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! Also — happy last day of September! Crazy to think this month is over. & it seems fitting to be sharing my last design for Glam Nails Challenge September!
Today’s prompt is Autumn Nature which to me seems very abstract. So I decided to go with a beautiful Autumn toned floral for this last prompt.
How pretty did these turn out? I love how applying the Essie shades in my floral design over the dark base kind of muted them, which gives even more of that Autumn nature feel.
I was inspired to do a floral after looking at our own flower garden which is still blooming madly in this Autumn weather. Who says Fall can’t call for flowers too? With the dark base shade, I thought this was the perfect representation of Autumn nature, & I just love them!
I wore this manicure for a full 3 days until it started to chip.
What do you think of this last design for Glam Nails Challenge September? Have you enjoyed all this prompts this month? I hope so!
