Glittery Chevron Claws

Hello beauties & happy Friday. It’s kind of a miserable day here in Halifax, with another rainfall warning. Blah. But I’m not going to focus on the drab weather — instead I’m going to obsess about a fun manicure I wore this week!

It’s been forever since I last rocked some chevron claws. Once upon a time chevron moons/claws were my manicure go to, & I kind of miss those days. So I was happy to pull out this old favourite to rock once again!

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
  • Essie No Ex-pectations
  • Nicole by OPI Kendall on the Katwalk
  • Snail Vinyls Deep Chevron Vinyls

Look at that sparkle! I kind of like how it’s sort of a peek-a-boo look because the purple in the glitter matches pretty closely with my base shade. I probably could have went with something with more of the bang, but I like this look better!

& yes, my shade selection lately has definitely been going more cooler/Autumn toned. I tried to fight it, but the pumpkin spice is just calling to me. I’m already using my Halloween reusable cup, & I’ve been wearing tights with dresses. I’m a Fall girlie at heart, always. 🖤🎃

What do you think of my chevron claws? Do you like the subtlety of the glitter over the similar toned based shade, or do you prefer more of a pop? Let me know all your thoughts down below!

Happy Friday!

Enjoy your weekend!

Spring-y Chevron Accent Nail (Featuring Quo Beauty)

Hello loves & happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is having a lovely start to the week. It’s March Break here which means work has been insane — but at least it makes the day go by quickly! They’re also calling for another Winter storm over night, so that’s fun.

But regardless of what it’s doing outside, I’m going to be wearing some Spring-y designs & colours on my nails. & today is no different!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Glow & Shine 
  • Top Coat: Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat
  • Quo Beauty Tint of Mint
  • Quo Beauty Birthday Suit
  • Quo Beauty Just Peachy
  • Quo Beauty Heaven Sent
  • Snail Vinyls Stacked Chevron Vinyl
  • Small dotting tool

I had this idea in my head of a Springy colours chevron accent nail, & I think it turned out pretty spot on to what I had imagined! The pop of peach/orange are so much fun against the pale pastel of the mint & baby blue. I am pretty much in love with the whole colour pallet!

& I forgot how much I love playing with my nail vinyls. I definitely need to use them more often. I have a pretty big collection, & it makes me sad I don’t use them nearly as much as I should.

What do you think of this Spring-y accent nail? Do you think I should have done all 10 fingers with this pattern? Let me know what you think down below.

Have a killer Tuesday guys! 🖤
