Cool Colour Block Stained Glass

Hello loves & happy Wednesday.

I hope everyone’s week has been peaceful so far. Summer is in full swing, & the weather has been… up & down. But I’m trying to enjoy the Summer none-the-less.

Today I have some actual nail art to show with you. I know — who is she? It feels like a while since I’ve been fully inspired in my nail art endeavours, so I was happy when I started this design & ended up loving it. That doesn’t always happen lately, so I was in love with this look when it just came together so perfectly.

Also, my nails are finally growing out after that bad break on my ring finger. Thank goodness!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Gel Setter Top Coat 
  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifier
  • Essie Gel Setter Sheer Fantasy *
  • Essie Handmade With Love *
  • Essie Butler Please
  • Essie Swoon in the Lagoon *
  • Essie In My Cab-Ana
  • Essie Expressie Take The Espresso *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

**pr/gifted product

I cannot begin to explain how much I love how these turned out. I started off with the block of colour, but it just felt like it needed something a little more to make it pop. & outlining it with the dark brown of Take the Espresso was definitely the right choice. I am very pleased with how these turned out.

&, if we’re being honest (always), it truly didn’t take as long as you would think it would take. No more than an hour from start to finish.

What do you think about these fun colour block, stain glass looking nails? Do you think this look turned out as good as I think it turned out? I’d love to know your option, or if you would wear it too! Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below.

Happy Wednesday!

Vacation Neon Ruffian Nails 💛💜

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I’m back from vacation, & very refreshed from my weekend away. We had a great time, & enjoyed a ton of time visiting family. Now it’s back to the real world, & I’m excited to show off the nails I chose to wear for our vacation. I had done an Instagram questionnaire wondering what nails I should wear for my vacation, & the biggest winner was neon yellow.

So I thought I would do a fun neon yellow ruffian for my vacation nails, & I’m just obsessed with how they turned out.

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 90s Toadally Buggin’ •pr/gifted•
  • Color Club Art Club Striper Passion Flower

Please excuse my dry cuticles, haha, as I took these photos after reaching our destination & hadn’t had a chance to reach for my cuticle pen. Even still, I think this look is such cute for a vacation mani! The purple of Color Club Passion Flower kind of went a bit grey against Toadally Buggin’ but that’s okay. I really like my little ruffian outlines, & this was the perfect nail art look for vacation.

Bright & colourful, which is just what I wanted!

Are you enjoying your Summer so far? I can’t believe how quickly September is approaching, & back to school. Crazy. & I can’t lie — I have definitely felt myself grabbing a few darker polishes lately without really thinking. I think the Autumn vibes are starting to seep in!

But I promise… I won’t go full Pumpkin Spice quite yet. I’ll still slip in a few Summery shades & manicures before then!

Have a fantastic Wednesday!
