NAILS | I Love Sephora #ManiMonday

This wasn't intentionally a tribute to Sephora, but when I added the red hearts it started looking much more familiar. I won't be seeing a Sephora bag for awhile as I am challenging myself to a no-buy beauty ban this month. I have never believed in no-buys, but a friend brought up trying it so now at least I have someone to hold me accountable if I fall off the wagon. God knows I don't "need" anything beauty-related as I am fully stocked on everything from skincare to makeup so may this be the month that I use things up, blog more and free up some space in the office!

I started off by using two coats of Sally Hansen CSM in White Here White Now*, from the Canadian exclusive Black to Basics Collection, and once that was dry I applied striping tape to all of my nails.

I then applied one thick coat of black polish like Sally Hansen CSM in Hooked on Onyx*. This is my new favourite in terms of opacity! Peel off the striping tape immediately after doing EACH nail so you don't get those funny ridges. You can either draw on the hearts or use some nail vinyls like I have here. The ones I used are from Beyond the Nail.

Finally, apply your topcoat and you are done! The vinyls have not budged for a week now so if you are looking for some seriously durable nail decorations, try these out!

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I am always so sad to see them end even though I worked on Saturday. I woke up so late this morning because I went to bed at 2am so I didn't get as much done as I had hoped, but here's to a productive week and I will see you all here or on social media!
