12 Days of Christmas Challenge- Day 9!

Hey everyone!

Day 9- Candy Canes!

This is one design that i wanted to do super bad this holiday season! I think they turned out good, although the top coat smudged them a bit. Candy Canes are super tedious, but I think the result was with it!

I started with two coats of OPI Alpine Snow. Then I taped off the stripes and used Revlon Revlon Red.

What do you think of these? I can't believe Christmas is almost here! Thanks for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas Challenge- Day 8!

Hey everyone!

I know I'm still a little behind on this challenge, but I'm trying to find time to get caught up! The Christmas season is always so hectic! I still can't believe that it is only 6 days until Christmas and then shortly after we start a new year! 

The eighth prompt in this challenge is reindeer! I was so excited to do this mani! I always have bad luck with top coat though, and it smeared just a tiny but. Oh well.

Aren' they so cute!? Some of their eyes are lopsided, but I think that makes them cute! And, obviously, Rudolph is on my ring finger!

To make these little guys, I used Zoya Louise and Flynn, OPI Alpine Snow, Revlon Revlon Red, and Wet n' Wild Black Creme.

It is getting closer and closer to Christmas! Have you done any Christmas nails? Thanks for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge- Day 7

Hey everyone!

So I'm still one day behind on this challenge, but I am determined to catch up this week! Before we know it, the challenge is going to be over! The challenge ends on Christmas, which is in 9 DAYS!! I love the Christmas season!

Today is Christmas free style! I decided to go with blue and silver because I wanted to get away from the traditional red and green for a day!

The blue is Orly Stone Cold. I made the different sized dots with Salon Perfect Diamond Dust. I think the Salon Perfect is just gorgeous! You can kind of see some of the holographic glitters on my thumb!

This was a last minute idea, and I like the way it turned out!! What do you think? Thanks for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge- Day 6!

Hey everyone!

So I know that I am a day behind, but I'm going to catch up! The challenge for December 12 was snowflakes! I decided to go with a nude polish, sparkles, and snowflakes!

My snowflake is a little wonky, but it think its cute! For the base I used OPI Don't Burst my Bubble, China Glaze Fairy Dust, and OPI Which is Witch. I used a nail art brush and white acrylic paint for the snowflake! The glitter kind of reminds me of the snow when the sun hits it!

Do you like these snowflake nails? Thanks for stopping by!!

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge- Day 5!

Hey everyone!!

So I know that this is a day late, but I'm still getting this post up! Day 5 of the 12 Days Challenge is here! A wreath! I am still loving painting my nails for this challenge!

Cute and simple! For the base I used one coat of OPI Alpine Snow topped with one coat of China Glaze White Cap. For the wreath I used a small detail brush and China Glaze Running in Circles and Revlon Red.

I hope you all are enjoying this challenge so far! Thank you so much for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge- Day 4!

Hey everyone!

Today's Christmas challenge is lights! I love driving around and seeing houses all decorated with lights! I also love seeing a tree all lit up and pretty with lights! Now my nails are part of all the festivities!

I LOVE how these came out! They are super easy and fun to do! For the base I used two coats of OPI Don't Burst My Bubble and then added a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust. I used Wet n' Wild Black Creme to make the electrical cord. And for the lights I used Sinful Colors Endless Blue, Revlon Red, Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow, and an un-named polish from Garage.

What do you think of these? Thanks for stopping by!

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge! - Day 3

Hey everyone!!

So today is yet another day in the 12 days challenge! Today's theme is glitter! I bought a glitter some time last year from Loreal, but I never got the chance to use it around Christmas! I thought I would pull it out for this challenge! It consists of small red and gold glitters in a red tinted base!

Loreal Fancy Me just seemed perfect for the occasion! To get full opacity I used 3 thick coats and a thick topcoat. Excuse my oily fingers, got to keep them moisturized some how!

Thank you guys to so much for stopping by! Are you enjoying this challenge? If you did it on your blog, link it down below and I will go check it out!

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge- Day 2

Hello everyone!!

It is December 4th, which means day/prompt 2 is here! I am still full of motivation to finish this challenge! Today's theme is Green! I still decided to go with something simple for today!

I started with two coats of OPI Jade is The New Black and then added NYC Matte Me Crazy top coat. For my ring finger, I made the lines using striping tape and China Glaze I'm Not Lion.

I think that green and gold together make a pretty festive pair! I'm getting more and more into the Christmas spirit everyday! What about you?

Thank you for stopping by!!

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge! - Day 1

Hello everyone!!

So today I have something exciting to share with you all! I have been wanting to do all kinds of holiday nail art, so to tackle that I thought I would try a challenge! I was looking through some December/Christmas challenges, and I couldn't find one that I really just loved. So, I decided to make my own!! I thought it would be cool to make/have a challenge for myself!

If you couldn't tell by the title, I decided to go with a "12 Days of Christmas" challenge! This has twelve themes that will be done on the days leading up to Christmas! Here's what I came up with!

I think its pretty cute! I think that this can be done! I'm going to post this picture on my Instagram too! Anyone and everyone can do it! I say the more the merrier! If you do it, be sure to tag your picture/post with #12DOCchallenge 

Instead of having two posts, I decided to just go ahead and do day one! Day 1's challenge is red. I decided to go with something simple and use Zoya China. This is one of Zoya's pixie dust polishes! I absolutely love this red and the glitter inside it!

Why is this so beautiful?!?! I think it is safe to say that I just love all Zoya polishes!! This is two coats no top coat. 

Thank you all so much for visiting my blog! I hope you join me for this challenge! Please help spread the word! 

XOXO
