Holiday Manicure Santa Suit Accents

Hi guys! I have my third and final Christmas manicure for you today and it features some Santa suit accents! I’ve seen this manicure all over Pinterest and I couldn’t wait to try it out for myself. I can’t believe this is my last Mani Monday before Christmas. But, I’m excited to get back to doing some every day manicures and nail art. The accent nails were not super time consuming so you could give each nail a Santa suit if you are so inclined.

Products Used:

OPI Chip Skip
OPI Nail Envy in Maintenance
OPI I’m Not Really a Waitress (2 coats)
OPI Alpine Snow (ring fingers only)
OPI Black Onyx (ring fingers only)
OPI Goldeneye (ring fingers only) Continue reading →

Hi guys! I’m back with another Mani Monday and today I’ve done a Spring/Easter theme. Although we got a ton of snow last week, I am ready for spring so I decided to use some pastel shades and added some polkadots in the mix.

Products Used:

OPI Chip Skip
OPI Nail Envy Original (1 coat)
OPI French Quarter for Your Thoughts (2 coats plus polka dots)
OPI Do You Lilac It? (2 coats plus polka dots)
OPI Polka.com (2 coats)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Fast Drying Top Coat (1 coat)

I am really happy with how this turned out, I love combining grey with a purple pastel. The colours compliment each other so well.

Mani Monday: St. Patrick’s Day Edition

Hi guys! I don’t really go out of my way to celebrate St. Patrick’s day, but I do partake in the tradition of wearing green and I usually incorporate it into that week’s manicure. This year I didn’t really feel like going too fancy, as it is hard to paint your nails when there are four dogs in the house (2 of my own, dog-sitting 2) so I went pretty basic and did green with a gold accent nail.

Products Used:

OPI Chip Skip
OPI Nail Envy Original (1 coat)
OPI Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window (2 coats on all fingers except ring fingers)
OPI Goldeneye (3 coats on ring fingers only)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Fast Drying Top Coat (1 coat) Continue reading →

Mani Monday

Hi guys! I have another Mani Monday for you today! This was actually supposed to be last Saturday’s YouTube video but the footage was completely unusable. So, here we are! I wanted to do a simple Valentine’s Day manicure that would be quick and nearly effortless.

Products Used:

OPI Chip Skip
OPI Nail Envy Original (1 coat)
OPI Hey Baby (2 coats)
OPI I Love Applause (to make the hearts on ring finger)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat (1 coat)

To make the hearts I used a medium sized dotting tool and connected two dots by gently dragging them down diagonally. It’s much easier than it looks!
