New Years Eve Nails! 2013

Hey everyone!

I think that New Years Eve nails my be the most fun nails to do! you can use as much glitter as you want and no one can say anything!! Thats the look I decided to go with! There are so many different ways that glitter can be used!

For my ring finger I placed some studs from Winstonia Store using a toothpick. For the rest of my fingers, I taped off the tip of my nails, put some topcoat on, sprinkled some glitter on, and then peeled off the tape. I used the silver glitter from a 12 pack I picked up at Walmart.

What are you wearing for New Years? Again I want to say thank you for supporting me, making it an awesome year!!

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!

Lush Lacquer- Clowning Around

Hello everyone!

Today I have the famous Clowning Around from Lush Lacquer to show you! This polish is absolutely gorgeous! There are so many different ways that this polish could be worn! After seeing Vanessa's (@mrslochness) post on Instagram wearing it over glitter, I knew I had to try that combination!

Look how gorgeous this is! I started with a base of Salon Perfect Diamond Dust, and then one coat of Clowning Around. I lightly dabbed this polish on, but it can be applied normally. I just wanted to get the bigger glitters where I wanted them.

I absolutely love this polish combo! Clowning Around can be purchased on Lush Lacquer's etsy. What do you think about this combo? Thanks for stopping by!
