Hi guys! I’m back with another Mani Monday! I feel like I’m getting more inspired to paint my nails again. There was awhile where my nails were in such bad shape that I just didn’t enjoy it. Everything was chipping because of how much my nails were peeling. They still need a bit more TLC but I think they are improving. Plus, I’m keeping them shorter, or at least trying to. They grow so fast!! Continue reading
Hi guys! I’m back with another Mani Monday! Last week I included the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure shade Commander in Chic in my Drugstore Haul. I didn’t wait too long before putting this beautiful polish on my nails. It’s such a unique purple/brown/grey colour. It looks just as beautiful on the nails as it looked in the bottle.
Products Used:
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Commander in Chic (2 coats)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat (1 coat)
My only complaint with the last polish I used from this line was that it look forever to feel completely dry. Due to that I kept denting and ruining the polish while I was waiting for it to dry. This time I put a fast drying top coat on in hopes to fix that. It did help with the dry time but I noticed on my right hand (not pictured) the polish looked like it shrunk quite a bit at the tips. I’m thinking I either didn’t top coat fast enough, or I didn’t wrap the tips well enough. It was a bit weird! It didn’t look that bad though so I just left it be. Other than that, I’m much happier with the dry time and I’ve had it on for about 4 days now and just have minimal chipping. Most of which is on my right hand.

Hi guys! It’s time for another Mani Monday post! After I removed the gel polish I was previously wearing I wanted something quick and easy to put on. I’ve had this polish for years but I never wear it, but today an all-in-one polish seemed appealing.
I found this polish needed to be built up to achieve opacity so I had to use three coats. Dry time was okay, but would have been faster if I had topped it off with a fast drying top coat. I never get good wear time out of Sally Hansen so I’m sure it will be off in a few days. I find the polishes that wear the best on me are OPI, Zoya and Cult Nails.
Products Used:
Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Wet Clay (3 thin coats)

Hi guys! I just have a quick Mani Monday post for you today! Instead of doing a regular manicure, since I knew that I would be away for a week I got a OPI GelColor manicure. I got in done in OPI Ink since it is a nice “burple” that has some shimmer in it. I didn’t want to do anything too festive since I’ll be wearing it for awhile. Continue reading
Hi guys! Today’s manicure is kind of a random one. I didn’t really know what I was doing when I did it, I just started playing and went with it. All I knew was that I wanted to combine the soft pink with teal. I’m undecided if I actually like the results, but it was fun to sit down, clear my head and just play with polish. I haven’t done the in awhile.
Hi guys! I’m back with another Mani Monday! I’ve been sick so I’ve been neglecting my nails but I finally have them painted again and it makes me so happy! I dislike my nails when they are left natural, it just looks wrong to me. They are seldom left natural, but my priority lately has been napping.
I went to see the new James Bond movie last week which reminded me of the OPI Skyfall collection from 2012. My favourite shade from the collection is the title shade, Skyfall which is a gorgeous oxblood cream shade. Am I the only person who goes to see James Bond and then ends up thinking about what colour I need to paint my nails?
Hi guys! I’m sick again so I haven’t had the energy to paint my nails so instead I’m going to share some of my manicure tips with you! These are tips that I’ve picked up and learned over the past few years that have completely changed my manicure game. I hope you find this useful!
Hi guys! I’m back with another Mani Monday! I’m going to start off by saying this is not my best work. Do you ever have those manicures that just feel doomed from the beginning? You make one mistake and then a series of messes and mistakes ensue. That was today and is why there is nothing fancy about this manicure. It is just a simple vampy red. This is OPI’s Royal Raja Ruby which is one of my favourites for fall. It is a shimmery deep red that changes tone depending on how much light it catches. I love vampy shades on the nails for fall, there is just something that I find comforting about them. Is it just me?
Products Used:
OPI Chip Skip
OPI Nail Envy Maintenance (1 coat)
OPI Royal Raja Ruby
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Fast Drying & Super Shiny Top Coat (as always!)
