OOOHHH CANADAAAAA nails

Our home and native laaaaandddd.... Deux fois trompwhateverrrr.....

If you forgot, here's a reminder that I'm Canadian, eh? Happy Canada day on July 1st to all my fellow maple-syrup loving tree-hugging friends! Here's a different take on the reciprocal gradient - a gradient leaf in a gradient flag! I used maple leaf nail vinyls from Twinkled T to create this look! And you can use my code SIMPLY for 10% off your order from Twinkled T - yes, even if you're not Canadian ;)

Multi-chrome glitter sun rays... with nail vinyls!

Glittahhhhh sunshineeeee nails!

These were so challenging to photograph cause there's so much going on here: multi-chrome glitter + holographic base coat + glossy black design overlay = camera focus nightmare.

I used FUN Lacquer 'Precious' copper multi-chrome glitter (shifts from red to gold) layered on top of Color Club's signature copper linear holographic 'Cosmic Fate'. Nail vinyls from Twinkled T were used to create this sun-rays inspired design (idea first conceived by Jamylyn Nails). You can use my code SIMPLY for 10% off at anything in Twinkled T's store :)

Find me the perfect white nail polish, damnnit!

You've asked yourself this question too many times before... WHY CAN'T I FIND THE PERFECT WHITE NAIL POLISH??? Cause no one should be deprived of that perfect fresh white canvas ready for nail art and epic gradienting.

Now, I didn't test every single white nail polish in the world, cause, well, I'd be dead by the time I finished. I know there's a few other 'popular' or highly coveted white nail polishes out there that I just didn't have time to source out and include (that and I'm lazy).

BUT I do think this video reveals a white nail polish trick we never thought much about before!!

Taylor Swift 'Bad Blood' nails

Nails inspired by Taylor Swift's new music video, Bad Blood!

Pop-culture reference nail art?!?! WHO KIDNAPPED ME???!! No but in all seriousness I've been obsessed with some of Taylor Swift's recent music videos like Style and now Bad Blood, because well, HOLY MAJOR PRODUCTION. And I get weak in the knees for all the video effects and pee myself at night thinking about how I could acquire such skills and incorporate them into my nail pornos. SO. Here's some blood-dripping nails that I wear in June and don't give a if it's not Halloween.

These were super easy to create using paint drip nail vinyls from Twinkled T! Use my code SIMPLY for 10% off your order :)

piCture pOlish: Geometric right angle fun

Aussie + Canadian = FRIENDLIEST COMBO EVER

Say hello to these super fun and easy to re-create geometric nails I made using piCture pOlish products! I used three of their polishes along with Liquid Palisade latex barrier (watch my review of it and a bunch of other peel off products in this video!), and right angle nail vinyls from one of their many nail vinyl packs. Chillax yo, this mani got electric swagger!

Intricate diamond geometric design

Welcome to the first of June's weekly nail art challenge (WNAC) manis! I co-host the WNAC on Instagram along with lovely ladies Kristin of Lacquerstyle and Tracey of MissBellaTracey and basically it just forces me to do nail art at least once a week cause I get too easily distracted by NAIL PORNNNNN.

Here's some trippy geometric design inspired by one of Lucy's Stash's manis from long ago! I totally love the way it looks like a 3D cube, but I added a gradient behind the pattern and changed the orientation of the diamond strands on Lucy's original mani from horizontal to vertical.
