Manicure Monday #11

Hello beautiful people :)

Look it's manicure monday!

I'm really excited about this week's nail choice!

I'm going to the U.S for a week and I wanted to do something summery and playful!

These are the colours I decided to use!

Whoa, so many colours!!

On my nails I have Essie's Blanc and Playdate, Sally Hensen's Mellow Yellow and Mint Sorbet and Wet n' Wild's pink!

So many colours, and you're probably wondering what cool design I did this week!

Ha, surprise...

No design at all!

I know this seems kind of childish because when we were all little girls painting our nails different colours was so cool!

But I don't care, I like the way it looks!

I made sure all the colours matched each other and they are all Summer colours!

I think it's super playful and I'm just in love!

Let me know what you think about my choice down below :)

That's all for now!

Manicure Monday #11

Hello beautiful people :)

I told you I would be back!

So today has been a little emotional and I almost forgot to paint my nails!

But I have, so here they are!

I bought this nail polish a few days ago!

I think it's beautiful!

It is Sinful Colors nail polish in Glass Pink!

It's a beautiful faint pink with a wonderful shimmer in it.

So, this picture looks like I have nothing on and that's because I planned this poorly.

It looks better in natural light!

After three coats, you get a very subtle pink colour but it's very shimmery.

I think it's a very neutral colour and it's very simple!

I really like this :)

Manicure Monday #10

Hello beautiful people :)

Manicure Monday is back!

I don't know how I feel about my nails this week.

I bought a new polish and I'm wearing it for the first time.

All I have to say is that I'm very conflicted. 

I used this little guy this week!

It's Sally Hensen's Fuzzy Coat polish in Fuzzy Fantasy!

When applied onto your nails it gives you a very cool texture.

But you have to be careful because at times it can look extremely messy and you have to apply 2-3 coats.

This is how it turned out!

I really don't know how I feel about this...

I think if I use this again, I would apply a white nail polish underneath and see how that looks.

Let me know how you feel about this polish or if you have any tips when using this one!

Manicure Monday #9

Hello beautiful people :)

Since Today is Canada Day, I thought I should be patriotic.

The Canadian flag colours inspired my choice of nails this week.

On my nails these week are Essie's Fifth Avenue and Essie's Blanc.

I kept it really simple because I didn't have a lot of time to paint them.

I didn't want to leave them bare, so I accented my ring finger again!

If you're from Canada, let me know if you did anything special with your nails to show your Canadian Spirit.

Manicure Monday #8

Hello beautiful people :)

I've realized that I haven't been posting a lot lately, besides the 30 Day Snap Challenge.

I'm hoping that this week, despite the fact that I start my summer course, that I'll be able to post regularly.

I have loads of ideas, I just don't know why I haven't written about them.

hmmm, don't worry that'll change :)

Anywho, it's time for another Manicure Monday!

This week's is very simple, nothing extravagant.

Tomorrow is my brother's graduation and I wanted to keep my nails simple and because my nails weren't cooperating again.

hehe!

This week I used a very summery colour.

It is Sally Hensen's Coral Reef :)

This colour matches my dress nicely.

I'll do an OOTD for my brother's graduation tomorrow!

I love this colour.

It's such a pretty colour for this time of the year!

It also makes my skin look a little darker :)

That's it for now!

If you have any ideas that I could do for another Manicure Monday, leave a comment below! :)

Manicure Monday #7

Hello beautiful people :)

I am so happy that I didn't have to fight with my nails today.

Today's been a pretty good day.

So I present you with this week's Manicure Monday.

This week I have used Wet N' Wild's Wild Shine.

This colour doesn't have a name, but it's a baby pink.

I have also used Sally Hensen's Gem Crush in Showgirl Chic.

 I decided to try the glitter ombre again.

I think they turned out better than my attempt last week!

I used a small tip paint brush to apply the glitter.

It gave me more control than the original brush.

Here's a closer look at my nails.

I made sure the sparkles were thicker at the base of my nail and thinned it out as I got closer to the top.

I think the blue sparkles look really nice against the pink base.

Manicure Monday #6

Hello beautiful people :)

Today has been a battle with my nails.

The amount of nail polish remover I have used today is ridiculous.

I have tried five different designs and none of them have worked.

I'm just having an off day with my nails.

But don't worry I do have a Manicure Monday for you all!

I will warn you now that I'm not in love with them.

But the longer I look at them, they kind of grow on me.

The colours this week are an assortment.

I have used four different colours and you'll see why very soon.

I have Sally Hensen's Mint Sorbet as a base colour and I have also used Sally Hensen's Mellow Yellow, Essie's Play Date and a mysterious blue colour. 

I have no idea where the label went...

I got this idea from Pinterest

The finished product.

It doesn't look like the Pinterest one, but I don't care.

To do this, I placed a dot of each colour (one by one) in the corner of my nail and used a toothpick to spread the colour outwards.

It looks like paint splatters and I kind of like it.

Although this wasn't my initial plan, it's growing on me.

Things don't always work out and I definitely figured that out today!

Haha!

Leave a comment below and let me know what you think of this look!

& Hopefully next week my nails will cooperate with me!

Manicure Monday #5

Hello beautiful people :)

Hope you are all doing well and having a fabulous start to your week!

This is surprising because I haven't posted a Manicure Monday this early.

But today has been kind of a productive day!

Go me!

I have gone very pink and girly this week!

Pink and sparkles?

I am just loving this combination! aha!

This week I am using Sally Hensen's Bubblegum and O.P.I's Teenage Dream.

This wasn't my initial plan for this week's Manicure Monday.

I wanted to do a glitter ombre, but it just wasn't working out for me.

But I am still pleased with my nails.

The pink, itself, is very girly and the sparkles just make it even more girly and fun.

What I really like about the O.P.I polish is that there are very tiny sparkles and larger ones that provide a nice combination. 

The larger sparkles catch the light very nicely.

I've only had my nails painted for an hour and I'm spending most of my time staring at them whilst the light shines on them.

They are very feminine  and fun.

It's like a party on my nails!

Well, that's all for now!

If any of you know how I could successfully do a glitter ombre please share below, so I can try it again! :)

Manicure Monday #4

Hello beautiful people :)

I apologize for the delay in Manicure Monday this week!

Today ended up being a little busier than I had anticipated!

But don't worry, I have not forgotten and it is here :)

*insert applause*

;)

This week I chose two pretty colours :)

I have Essie's play date and Essie's blanc on my nails.

I use to really like Essie's blanc, but I'm finding that when I apply it, it's very chunky and the consistency isn't the same.

It can be quite annoying because there will be blobs on my nails or it can look very stringy. 

However, Essie's Play Date is my favourite to apply.

The colour is so soft and very easy to put on.

It goes on very smoothly and evenly, which I love in a polish :)

How did I paint my nails, you ask?

Well here is what they look like!

So on Instagram and Pinterest there have been a lot of pictures with nail designs like this!

I really like the way this looks.

I think it's something different!

I've been wanting to try this for a while, but I've been a little scared to actually do so.

But I did it anyways and it definitely came out better than I thought!

With this being my first time, I hope to get better at doing this.

But I do think that I did pretty darn good for my first time!

Manicure Monday #3

Hello beautiful people :)

So I had a tough time deciding what I wanted to do with my nails this week.

I changed my mind about three times.

The first two options just didn't work and what I finally picked was very simple.

I just want to say there is a beautiful thunderstorm happening as I write this.

I'm normally quite scared of them, but there's a certain beauty about this one that is making me enjoy it.

Anyways back to my nails :)

Nice. Simple. Spring.

I decided on Sally Hensen's 340 Mint Sorbet.

Apparently, I only own Sally Hensen nail polish...I need to widen my nail polish brands.

This has been my favourite colour to wear during the summer for the past two years.

I am obsessed with this colour and this polish goes on so nicely!

Whenever I am deciding on what colour to paint my nails, I always end up picking up this one.

It's a perfect colour for both spring and summer.

I'll definitely be wearing this more than once this season.

My hands look much more tanned with this colour on.

Although they look quite white with the light shining on them, without it the tan is there.

I promise ;)

& because I haven't done much tanning yet, making it look like I have a tan is great :)

That's all for this post :)

Leave a comment below and let me know what your go to nail polish is for the spring and summer seasons :)

Hope you all had a fantastic day!

Manicure Monday #3

Hello beautiful people! :)
I hope that all of you had a spectacular Monday!
I really need to post these Manicure Mondays earlier in the day!

Today's Monday hasn't been the best considering how the Toronto vs. Boston game 7 went...but I'll look past that soon enough, hehe.

For this week I used a familiar colour that has been used before.

BAM!

This week's colours are Essie's blanc and Sally Hensen's Mellow Yellow.

Since my Monday was a little gloomy, I wanted to use the yellow because I knew that it would brighten my mood.

Now, this yellow looked like a dark yellow after applying one coat.

Luckily, it got brighter as I added more layers :)

 I used the Essie nail polish to add polka dots.

The colour yellow and polka dots automatically make me happy.

So I thought adding the two together would just make everything better :)

& I was correct.

I used the end of a bobby pin to add the polka dots and applied them randomly.

This is the first time that I've used polka dots, so they aren't perfect but I tried my best :)

My left hand looks quite funny, which is why I have featured my right hand in this blog haha

Overall, I am really happy with how my nails turned out.

They make me smile every time I look at them.

I hope you like them!

Manicure Monday #2

Hello again beautiful people :)

Look at this, two posts in one day! What!!

But it is Manicure Monday so I have to make an update on my nails!

So if you read my Walmart Haul post you know that I purchased two new Sally Hensen nail polishes.

So for this week I chose to use both colours :)

The yellow is called Mellow Yellow and the Coral is called Coral Reef.

Together they remind me of Pink lemonade, which reminds me of the summer :)

The colour comes on quite beautifully, but you have to apply enough layers.

Depending on how you apply it, it can come on streaky but can be easily fixed by adding another layer.

(Sorry for the awkward hand position, I ain't no hand model)

Anyways, this is what the polish looks like when it is on!

The yellow really pops, which I love because it really accents the ring finger.

I know that I did the same style as last week with different colours, but I just loved both of these colours. I couldn't choose!

Every time I look at my nails, all I think about is summer and the warm weather and they instantly make me happy.

I promise that next week I'll do something a little more creative :)

Leave a comment below if you like these colours or what you are rocking on your nails.

Manicure Monday :)

Hello beautiful people :)

So, I'm going to start doing a Manicure Monday on this blog.

With my summer already started, I find myself repainting my nails every week.

& I figure that it would be a great idea to show all of you what I've decided to paint my nails for the week.

Hopefully, as the summer goes on I will start trying new nail designs that I find on pinterest.

I will guarantee you that, they will not always turn out perfect, but hey at least I tried ;)

For this week's manicure, I decided to use two different colours of nail polish.

The first colour being L'Oreal's Greycian Goddess, number 560.

& the second colour being Sally Hensen's Bubblegum Pink, number 470.

I'm spending most of my week searching for a job and I wanted to pick a colour that shows maturity and sophistication whilst being playful and girly at the same time.

I used the Greycian Goddess colour on all four of my fingers and then using the Bubblegum Pink to accent my ring finger.

 

I'm not one to buy dark colours like the L'Oreal one, but for some reason this caught my eye.

It took a while for me to like it once I painted my nails with it for the first time, but I absolutely love it now.

I was skeptical to pair the two of the colours, but looking at my nails now I love it

The Greycian Goddess is very simple and mature, in my opinion.

Whereas, the Bubblegum Pink is very playful and girly.

To me, this shows the best of both worlds :)

Let me know what you guys think about my nails!

I hope you all had a beautiful Monday :)
