Anyone else scrolling through Pinterest ATM, searching for some cute nail inspo?

Guilty as charged.

While I’m more than happy to do my part and stay at home during these trying times, I’ll definitely be excited to visit my friend Mary when Gel Nail Bar in St. Albert reopens. Over the past few months, thanks to Mary and her team, I’ve rocked some pretty cute claws. Here’s a look in case you need some nail inspo for your next appointment:

1. Palm Frond Nails

Beach, please!

I was vacation-ready with these pink tropical nails, featuring a stamped palm frond design and 3D gold diamond.

2. Matte and Marble Nails

Um, how fab are these?

This was my first time trying out a matte polish and I LOVED it – especially when combined with a marble feature nail with rose gold filigree.

3. XO – Valentine’s Day Nail Inspo

Valentine’s Day nails: because I don’t need an excuse to do rose gold everything… but I’ll take it!

Loved the rose gold foil that Mary used with this set, as well as the petit ‘xo’ on my ring finger.

4. Macaron-Hued Nails

Do you notice a similarity between my nails and my snack LOL?

I loved the soft, macaron-inspired pastel hue of this set. Plus, after years of rocking long nails, it was a nice change going with a shorter length… and the added wow-factor of a rose gold charm.

Thanks again to Mary at Gel Nail Bar for making all my nail inspo dreams a reality. If you live in the St. Albert area, I highly recommend stopping by for your next appointment. In addition to being super talented, she has an amazing selection of colours and a great online booking system.

Plus, if you try out any of these looks, tag me (@chandeliers.and.champagne) and Gel Nail Bar (@gelnailbar) on Insta – we’d love to see!
