Christmas Nail Art Series: Santa Hats

Hi everyone! Welcome to the first day of my Christmas series! But first of all, yes, I did cut down my nails again... But that's besides the point, anyway, I wanted to start off with something festive... Santa hats!! :) I saw (THIS) post on a blog and I knew I wanted to recreate it! :)

I started off with one thin coat of a glitter topcoat, then took a christmas red and free-handed little triangles (I used the actual polish brush). Then I took a big dotting tool and using a white polish I dotted the little puff ball on the top of that hat. Afterwards I took a small dotting tool and dotted the bottom puff strip on the hat.

Thanks so much for reading and be sure to let me know what you think! :)

Poll Runner Up: Bettina #189

Hi! Today I get to show you the polish that got second place in my poll(: I wanted to use this one purple polish for the stamping but it didn't really show up :( I also tried to use the white first and line up the purple so it came on more opaque... but that failed... to the extreme. In the end I just ended up using white....simple, but cute:)

#189.... such a pretty shimmer.... #189 is and aqua-ish blue with some gorgeous green undertones packed with micro shimmer.... so much shimmer that it actually looks like a sheen. #189 is a tad but more green in real life... just a little bit... a pinch:) Formula on this was great (as usual) and dry time was fast. It's a little sheer but it's very build-able. In the photos you can see some slight VNL, but it's not that noticeable IRL. This is two thin coats.

My stamping looked a little flat so I decided it was the perfect time to use my Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat! I must say... I am in love!! I definitely want to start using glitter more often. It's gorgeous:) 

Also, I have so many ideas I want to try out!! I am starting to think this is going to be a good week....

Anyway, let me know if you like(:

Candy Cane Nails

 Hi everyone :) Yesterday I decided to paint my nails in a candy cane design. Not sure how I feel about these yet...

The thumb is my favorite :)

So ya, not sure how I feel about it... also, I know the tape job isn't very good, but it was my first time :)

I think the thumb turned out the best. Also, if my nails were a 'lil but longer (like my thumb) I think it would have turned out better, what do you think??

Frosbite+Sparkle Topcoat

 Today I decided to layer my sparkle topcoat by Fingerpaints over Frostbite:

Ignore my finger discoloration lol, I don't know why they look that :/

Can't decide if I like it or not, hmmm....... What do you think??
