Simple Pink & Holo Glitter Nails

Good morning lovelies & happy Monday! We’re still digging out from the snowpocalypse over the weekend but thankfully I have some manicures from last week (when I wasn’t posting) to share with you this week!

Today’s look is a super simple one, but I actually really love it. This would be a great Valentine’s Day look to wear for any fun date (or girls night!) you have planned. It’s also a super simple look to create.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat
  • Butter London Pistol Pink
  • OPI I Snow You Love Me
  • Dotting tool

I haven’t worn this pink in ages & I totally forgot how beautiful it was! I don’t often wear just pink nails on their own, so naturally I had to add a little extra sparkle. Originally, I wanted to use heart glitters — but my bottle is all dried up & needs some nail polish thinner — so I decided to go with the next best thing which is this glitter from OPI.

It gives the effect of rhinestones on your nails, without having to worry about hitting them against something & knocking them off! Just such a cute easy nail art look to wear!

What do you think about this simple chic pink nail art look? Would you wear this design on your nails? As always, I love to hear what you think in the comments so please share below!

Enjoy your Monday 🖤

Pink & Purple Half Moons

Hello lovelies & happy Wednesday! I hope the week has been treating everyone lovely so far. Today I’ve got another nail art look to share, & this time we’re going bright!

I was really in the mood for some pink & purple half moons — kind of an early Valentine’s Day look — mostly because I love a good half moon design.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Essie Expressie IRL
  • Quo Beauty Show Stopper
  • Paper Hole Reinforcements

Gosh, I will never not love a half moon design — especially when it turns out this clean! Plus pink & purple are just the perfect combination. I thought about adding a little matte top coat as well, but I think the shiny is just too good together. 💜💗

What do you think about my half moon design? Do you love the pink & purple together as much as I do? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Enjoy your Wednesday loves! 🖤

Pink Glittery Stripes

Hello loves & happy Monday! As happy as a cold January Monday can be. I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. Today I’m starting off a new week with some new nail art — because that’s what we do around here.

Today’s look was an add on to yesterday’s Swatch Sunday pick. I was digging the pink nail polish, so I decided to add onto it (& keep the pink theme going!)

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: China Glaze Calcium Gel Fortifer
  • Top Coat: Essie Speed Setter
  • Quo Beauty Show Stopper
  • Rimmel London Pulsating
  • Ardene pink glitter (missing name)
  • Ardene Kiss By A Rose
  • Revlon Nail Art Duo 350 Ulterior Motif (just the rose gold glitter striper)
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Get Mod
  • 16mm NailStuff.ca striper brush

Okay I know these are very pink, & maybe it’s a smidge too early for anything Valentine’s Day, but these January days are long & depressing, so bring in the bright pink manicures! It’s been so long since I’ve done a simple stripe look too, so this just makes me happy.

& we can all use a little extra happiness now a days.

What do you think about this pink glittery stripe design? Do you love it as much as I do? What colours are you digging right now? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

Happy Monday 💗

SWATCH SUNDAY — Quo Beauty Show Stopper

Hello lovelies & happy Sunday — the first Sunday of 2024.

Today’s Swatch Sunday pick is actually a reader request! I had someone on my Facebook message to ask if I had any pictures of Quo Beauty Show Stopper, & it made me realize I had this shade in my stash — but hadn’t actually swatched it. So immediately I had to pull it out so I could feature it for this week’s Swatch Sunday post!

2 coats + Top Coat

Quo Beauty Show Stopper is a beautiful shimmery fuchsia, with a flash of hot pink depending on how you move your hand. It’s from the Breathable line, so it’s designed to be “healthier” on the nail — allowing your nails to “breathe”.

The formula on this one was easy to apply, giving me full coverage in 2 coats. On its own, it dries down to a nice shiny finish, but I did apply top coat as I was planning on wearing it for a few days. The shimmer is absolutely beautiful, & give me early Valentine’s Day vibes.

Quo Beauty nail polishes are a Shoppers Drug Mart exclusive brand, which means it’s sold exclusively in Canada. The Breathable line retails for $13.49 CAD, although you can on occasion tucked into to clearance bin–which is, I’m pretty sure, where I picked up my bottle.

This shade can also be purchased from the Shoppers Drug Mart website if you cannot find it in store.

What do you think about Quo Beauty Show Stopper? Are you a fan of shimmery pink polishes like this? Have you already started feeling those Valentine’s Day vibes? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!

& if you ever have a nail polish you’d love to see me feature on here, reach out! I’m always down to share the nail polish love.

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!
