Christmas Nail Art Series: Christmas NOTD

Hi everyone! Here is my Christmas mani! :)

I started off with two thin coats of OPI Designer de Better. A gorgeous silver foil with copper particles mixed in. It made it look sort of a rose gold color... very pretty. Formula was spot on and dry time was fast. 

Anyway, thank you so much for reading and let me know what your wearing on your tips this Christmas day!

Merry Christmas everyone!
xoxo

Readers Request: Silver and Gold

Hi everyone! Time for another Reader's Request! Holiday edition! Ok, so Doxieil requested something for the holiday's using the colors silver and gold. She requested this a while ago but I couldn't make anything work until I got this idea.

This is my second attempt at a moon manicure. I think it turned out ok :) I freehanded the moons so they are a bit funky, but the overall look is ok :)

Well Doxieil, I hope you like it! If any of you have requests be sure to let me know! :)

Christmas Nail Art Series: Christmas Ornaments

Hi everyone! Only a couple days till Christmas! Todays nails were inspired by the ornaments on a Christmas tree :)

I started off with two coats of Bettina Mojito. A gorgeous green! Formula was spot on, dry time was average, and Mojito dried shiny!! I love it!

I then stamped an ornament image using a red polish, and the filled in the ornament with the same red polish to make it "pop" more. Afterwards I grabbed a bunch of colors that resembled my actual ornaments on my Christmas tree, and then dotted them on using a small dotting tool to represent lights and other ornaments.

So ya, super simple but I hope you like it nonetheless!

Anyway, that's it for today! Thanks so much for reading and be sure to let me know what you think! :)

Christmas Nail Art Series: Sleigh Ride

Hi everyone! Today's nails were inspired by Santa's sleigh ride. I apologize for the quality of the pictures. I literally retook them 3 times because they kept on turning out blurry!! As for the middle finger, that one is a little messed up because for some reason my stamp wouldn't transfer, and I already re-did that nail twice so I didn't want to re-do it a third, so I just put a little remover on it and it turned a bit "cloudy". Oh well.

I started off with one coat of Bettina Indigo (to represent the night sky), and then layered Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat (to represent the stars) over it. Using a silver polish I stamped on a little sleigh and then on the other fingers I stamped on a little stag type image which was supposed to represent the reindeer. The yellow dot is supposed to be the moon.

Thank you so much for reading and be sure to let me know what you think!

Christmas Nail Art Series: Christmas Pudding

Hi everyone!! Today's nails were inspired by one of Indigonova1's tutorials.

First of all, I apologize for the lighting, it was cloudy all day :(

I started off with a purple color. Bettina Haze is a gorgeous light lavender/lilac color. I love it!! Formula was nice, dry time was fair, and it dried shiny! This is three thin coats.

Then taking a brown color I drew a semi circle. After I took a random white and using a dotting tool, I outlined the brown and while the white was still wet, I dragged it down in some areas. I then took a red and put two dots, then took a green and made little leaves.... well, they don't really look like leaves :/

So there you have it!! Christmas pudding topped with some berries! :)

Christmas Nail Art Series: Gingerbread Men

Hi everyone! Today I got to try out my first Color Clubs(:

Red-ical Gypsy is a stunner. It's a gorgeous red with perhaps some beet colored undertones... so pretty! The formula on this was perfect. It almost had a jelly consistency to it, it also dried super shiny. This is two coats.

Then I stamped on cute little gingerbread men using a silver chrome polish. I wanted to use a gold one but sadly, I don't have a stamp-able gold :( Afterwards, using a toothpick, I dotted little green dots for the "gumdrop buttons" :)

I was hoping it would be a bit more Christmas-y but I still like the way it turned out! Despite having to use silver. What about you??

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! :)
