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?

Neon Print Floral 🌸 (Featuring Madam Glam Nail Art Pens)

Contains PR/Gifted Product

Hello lovelies & happy Monday!

I’m not sure about your part of the world, but here in mine we’ve been stuck in a frozen wasteland for a while. It’s been a rough Winter (& it’s only the beginning of March) so I’ve been wishing & dreaming for Spring a lot lately.

& what do I do when I’m wistfully wishing for Spring? Paint flowers on my nails, of course. & floral was the perfect excuse to really test out my new set of Madam Glam Nail Art Pens I was recently gifted by them.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

How absolutely adorable did these turn out? Honestly, it’s been a while since I really used nail art pens so I was a little rusty, but I think I created a very cute Spring-y look with these Madam Glam nail art pens. They definitely took me a bit of practice, but I do find it you matte-ify your base colour with a matte top coat, it makes it less slippy for drawing your design. It is like using markers on a sheet of paper versus a white board — you get an easier less slippery surface to draw on.

Over all, I’m really impressed with these nail art markers. They make drawing quite simple, & I look forward to testing them out for more designs! Highly recommend!

What do you think about this cute floral look? Have you ever tried nail art pens for creating nail art? Let me know what you think down in the comments below, & what looks you might like to see me attempt with my new collection of Madam Glam Nail Art pens!

Happy Monday!

Valentine’s Day Heart Glitter Placement 🤍💜🩷💙

Hello beauties & happy Tuesday. What a Tuesday it is… it’s getting so chilly here. Ugh. Have I mentioned I’m really, really not a winter person? So why not brighten things up a little bit, & maybe start early on the Valentine’s Day looks!

I picked up a Nails INC gift pack at my local Shoppers Drug Mart on clearance for $10 recently, that I thought would be perfect for Valentine’s Day! While the gift pack was meant for Christmas, the colours just scream V-Day to me — especially this heart glitter topper.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Essence Colour Shield Top Coat (I ran out of my NailStuff one & need to make an order!)
  • Nails INC Nutcracker Nouveau
  • Nails INC Heartfelt Holidays
  • Small dotting tool for glitter placement (I use the NailStuff.ca dotting tool from Dotting Tool Trio)
    **PR/gifted 

Firstly, this light pink shade, Nutcracker Nouveau, is absolutely stunning & a great pre-spring shade. I love a good pastel. Secondly, these heart glitters are too freaking cute.

I will be honest, they were not the easiest to fish from the bottle — there are lots in there, but it took me a few tries to pull some out on my brush. That is part of the reason why I went with placing my glitters individually, rather than brushing them up. The other was wanting to make sure I got a different variety of colours on each nails. & I think the end result is adorable.

I’m such a sucker for glitter toppers, especially in unique shapes like these hearts!

What do you think of these easy & adorable Valentine’s Day nails? These are honestly something so quick easy & fun you can rock for the occasion. & you know I just love a festive manicure with a theme!

Let me know what you think of this design! & Enjoy the rest of your day loves.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Jingle Bells

Hello loves & happy Wednesday! & happy first day of Glam Nails Challenge December! I couldn’t end this year without participating in this challenge, & I’m excited for the nail art looks to come (I always get so inspired by these challenges!)

The first prompt of our challenge is Jingle Bells 🔔, which was the perfect excuse for these cute nail art stickers I got last Christmas from NailStuff. I really wanted a fun look to start our designs this month, & I think I made it happen!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Expressie Mic Drop-If-Low
  • Sinful Colours Pride
  • Nail Stuff Christmas Holly & Jolly Nail Stickers

Do these not feel like a celebration to you? The bells are so cute, & the glitter from my glitter gradient sort of looks like confetti falling.

These are giving party nails for sure, which is the perfect manicure to start off our challenge this month! & there are so many fun looks to come for December. I’m really excited for all the prompts — hopefully they get me in a more festive mood.

What do you think of this look for my first prompt of Glam Nails Challenge December? Don’t forget that you can follow along with all the designs this month with the hashtag #glamnailschallengedec24.

It’s so hard to believe that we are in our last month of the year, or that Christmas is only 3 weeks away. 2024 has been a whirlwind.

Happy Wednesday

Sparkly Holographic Swirls

*contains PR

Hello my lovelies & happy Tuesday!

I know, I’ve kind of switched up my usual posting schedule but only because the last little while has been a bit crazy! But I’ve got another fun manicure to share with you, featuring another favourite October polish. & I’m really happy with how the design turned out.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • OPI DS Extravagance
  • NailStuff Essentials Holographic Top Coat *
  • Essie Home By 8 *
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush

*gifted

I used to do hand painted swirl designs like this all the time when I first got into nail blogging, but it’s been a while since I did one so it felt like the right time. It’s a cross between like a paisley & a kind of lace design, I guess? I decided to add another layer of holo over my base of OPI DS Extravagance which gave it even more of a POW! effect & I love it.

Just give me all the sparkle. I really, really am craving sparkle, especially with these much shorter days we’ve been having.

What do you think of this holo swirl design? Do you like this hand painted design? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & tell me what your favourite holographic polish is!

Happy Tuesday
