Pink Glitter Snowflakes

Hello lovelies!

Happy day after (American) Thanksgiving to my American readers, & happy Black Friday! This is my first year in a while I’m not working in retail for Black Friday sales, so I’m kind of enjoying the breather.

But we can’t deny — Christmas is coming. & even though I’m feeling less than zero Christmas spirit this year, I figured it was time I at least tried to summon some Holiday/Winter spirit. So naturally I thought we’d dip our toes in with some snowflake nail art stickers.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Cure
  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle) 
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Wrapped in Love
  • Ardene Dancing Queen
  • NailStuff.ca Snowflake Nail Art Stickers

First off, I’m officially petitioning for glitter pink to become an official Christmas colour. Secondly, I love how cute these are! I’ve had these nail art stickers in my collection forever, & I love that they’re still being used for cute nail art looks.

& it was way simpler than me trying to hand paint snowflakes on my nails! The white of the stickers just pop so well against that pretty pink. Definitely giving Christmas vibes — at least for me.

What do you think about these pink glittery snowflakes? Are they giving holiday vibes? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below! & how you’re getting your nails into the festive spirit.

Happy Friday

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.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE OCTOBER 2025 — Black Cat 🐈‍⬛ (aka My Birthday Nails 💅)

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I know, this post is coming to you much later in the day than usual, but that is because it’s my birthday today! & I’ve been out & about (has to get that free Starbucks birthday drink ✨!)

But I’m so excited to share the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge October — because it’s one of my favourite things! Black Cat. 🐈‍⬛ I’ve also been holding onto some nail art stickers from Wet N Wild, which were perfect for this prompt!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle) 
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
  • Essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Blush *pr
  • Essie Swoon in the Lagoon
  • Essie Birthday Girl!
  • Wet n Wild Halloween Nail Art Stickers

Cute little black kitties, perfect for this prompt — & my birthday manicure. I went with a sponge-y pink base, compliments with Essie Birthday Girl, since it was the perfect day for it!

Maybe this is not the spookiest, scariest black cat design — but it is the perfect one for me to celebrate my October birthday with! I love the pink, I love the stickers (& the other little accent stickers I paired with them.)

What do you think of this black cat design? Do you like the colours I chose to compliment my stickers? Does it scream black cat to you? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Summer Coral Abstract Stripes

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! I hope you’re having a beautiful week so far. My August allergies have hit & hit hard so I’m sneezing my way through the days — hence why I missed posting on Wednesday. I was in an allergy induced haze.

Today I decided to go for a super Summery design, especially since I feel like I’m shifting into Autumn vibes hard.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Top Coat: Essie Good To Go Top Coat
  • Base Coat: Essie Hard to Resist (purple)
  • Essie Throw In The Towel
  • Essie Watermelon
  • Essie Peach Side Babe
  • Essie Spring Fling
  • Essie High Class Affair
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

How pretty did these abstract stripes turn out? I just love the combination of pinky corals. Very bright, very Summery. This is the perfect nail polish send off before I really transition into the Autumn vibes & all things pumpkin spice (already drinking it in my coffee!)

What do you think about these Summery abstract stripes? Are you looking forward to Fall as much as I am? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Happy Friday!

SWATCH SUNDAY — Essie Throw in the Towel 🕶️ (2020 Sunny Business collection)

Contains PR

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday! It’s a sunny, hot & humid Sunday here — & we are still without some much needed rain unfortunately.

Today though, I’m sharing a bright & summery nail polish shade with you, that I kindly received gifted from Essie. This is Essie Throw in the Towel.

2 coats + top coat

This beautiful bright coral pink is gorgeous Summery shade! The formula was a bit on the thin side, but built easily to opacity. My nails are on the shorter side right now, so if they were longer I would probably do three coats to avoid visible nail line.

The colour is very vibrant & eye catching, which I love. I used to be all about the corals on my nails in the early days of my nail addiction, but started leaning towards more blues & purples — & I’m realizing now how much I love a bright coral on me!

You can definitely see in my close up that this shade is a big on the sheer side, but it doesn’t make me love it any less. It’s light enough I don’t find that too distracting.

Essie Throw in the Towel is part of the Essie core collection, so you can purchase it anywhere you buy your Essie nail polishes. In Canada, it usually ranges anywhere between $9.99 CAD to $14.99 CAD.

What do you think about Essie Throw in the Towel? Do you love this bright coral pink as much as I do? Doesn’t it just scream Summer? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below!

Happy Sunday!
