Cherry Dots

Did this simple cherry look the other day and am currently wearing it. The base is Zoya "Purity" (vegan). The red is Zoya "Sooki" (vegan) and the green Bettina "Mojito"

For this look I used Color Club "Revvvolution" (vegan) and topped it with Julie G "Dots n Stripes" (vegan).  Simple but I loved it!

Color Me Monthly

This purple polish is something new. I stumbled across the brand Color Me Monthly which is a subscription service that sends you a bottle of polish each month. It was only $1 so I thought I'd give it a try. Normally it is $7 a month. This shade is called "Summer Tryst" (vegan). It's a very pretty shade and it does have a bit of rose coloured shimmer to it. It is a bit sheer but obviously not overly so or else this nail art wouldn't have worked out.  I used nail striping tape to get this look. It's a bit time consuming cutting the strip and putting them on but overall it's a pretty easy look to do. I recommend putting all of the strips on at once except your thumbs but only paint one finger at a time. Once it's painted pull of those strips right away. If you let it dry, it'll start to pull at the paint and mess up your design.  The base colour here is a franken.

This was a bit tricky to do just because my black polish (Wet n Wild "Black Creme" (vegan)) was giving me problems. It's supposed to look like ribbons. The pink is a favourite of mine, Zoya "Shelby" (vegan). It just screams Barbie to me!

More Gradient Nails

I never grow tired of gradient manicures- love them! I started with a base of Color Club "Alias" (vegan) which has this gorgeous blue flash to it! It was hard to capture in pictures but it's very noticeable in person, especially in the sun.  Then I used a sponge to add Zoya "Noot" (vegan) to half of te nail. Finally, I added Zoya "Aurora" (vegan) to give it some gorgeous holo sparkle! 

This look was inspired by this one. I started with Zoya "Purity" (vegan) as the white base. Then I added some nail striping tape. Finally I used a makeup sponge to dab on Zoya "Maya" (vegan), OPI "Planks a Lot" and Zoya "Zuza" (vegan).  I think it's a pretty cool, unique look!

Party Mani

This is the crazy looking manicure I wore in Vegas. I didn't plan it out, just new I wanted random neon designs over a holographic polish.  It actually wasn't all that sunny in Vegas, just super hot, so the holo didn't make a big appearance. But I love me some neon!  The base polish is Color Club "Worth the Risque" (vegan). The pink is China Glaze "Flip Flop Fantasy" (vegan), yellow is Sinful Colors "Neon Melon" (vegan), black is China Glaze "Liquid Leather" (vegan) and the peach shade is Julep "Teri" (vegan).

For my birthday I wore this. I'm feeling the animal print lately! On my nails anyway. The  base is Zoya "Maya" (vegan) which is a jelly polish. The white is Julep "Kate". Both studs are from Born Pretty Store.

Independence Day Nails

- Currently on vacation. Follow me on Instagram for updates! -

Happy 4th of July!

I added onto my Canada Day mani to create this look. The blue is Zoya "Natty" (vegan) and the glitter is Julep "America" (vegan).

Easter Nails

I started off the week with this tribal look. The base is NYC "Lexington Yellow". I used a Bundle Monster plate and the polishes Zoya "Natty" (vegan) and OPI "Dutch Ya Just Love OPI". 

Easter nails! I did a simple pastel skittle and then added the bunny and carrot this morning.

Index: Color Club "Blushing Rose' (vegan) but it chipped so quickly so I switched to Sally Hansen Insta-Dry "Pink Blink".

Middle: Julep "Shenae" (vegan).

Ring: Julep "Simone" (vegan)

Pinky: Essie "Borrowed and Blue"

For Sale

Two manicures sees to be the norm for me these days! I also realized I'm pretty sure I've only bought one bottle of polish so far this year! That's pretty awesome considering I used to buy multiples bottles a week! Polish addiction has been broken. Not say I don't still love and enjoy the hobby, I have just cured that desire to buy buy buy and I'm happy about that. I have just over 200 bottles of polish and have no desire to raise that number so I keep trying to sell/give away some in order to make room for the new.

First look is featuring this little mini polish from Walgreens that has no name. I got it in a Halloween clearance pack. I was hoping it would be this opaque hot pink but nope, it's quite sheer. Still, I really like the glitter. For a base, I used Zoya "Kimmy".

 Loved this look! The green shade is Sinful Colors "Mint Apple" which has a beautiful shimmer to it. The pink, not surprisingly, is Zoya "Shelby".  The glitter is Sparkles by Julie "Dots n Stripes".  She is actually closing her shop (ending her business) so her polishes are on sale right now! Only $2.50 for minis and $5 for full size!

Also, I will be updating my shop soon! Here are a few items that you will be seeing but if interested, feel free to email me. Prices are negotiable and shipping charges will be applied.

Oscar Night

I wore this manicure pretty much all week. Loved it! It took a while to grow on me though. I used striping tape to achieve the look. I started with just one coat of Julep "Pippa", added the tape and then did one thick coat of Zoya "Cynthia".

I quickly put this on today in honour of the Oscars. Julep "Rachel" and then an accent nail of Julep "Oscar".  

 Are you excited for the Oscars tonight? I am. I always look forward to the Grammy's, Oscars and Golden Globe Award shows.  I think Seth McFarlane will  be a great host tonight!  I haven't seen all of the nominations but Les Miserables blew me away so I really hope it does well. I'd love to see it win Best Pic, Best Supporting Actress (Anne Hathaway) and Best Actor (Hugh Jackman). I'd like to see Jennifer Lawrence win Best Actress (although I don't think she will) because I kind of love her haha And I definitely want Christoph Waltz to win Best Supporting Actor  because he's amaaaazing.

Nail Art

You already saw a peak of this manicure but here's a better look. I used Zoya "Purity", "Natty" and "Cynthia" to create this sponged gradient. 

Yeah, I did a Valentine's Day look in January. haha I really liked it. The base is Sally Hansen "Blink Pink". The glitter is Zoya "Kissy". I stamped using Julep "Cameron". The dots and stripes are Color Club "Wing FliNG".

Vacation Manicures

I brought a few bottles of nail polish on our WA trip. I brought Zoya "Jules", Julep "Vivien", Zoya "Logan" and Icing "Glamorous".
