Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Here are some Christmas themed nails that I've been rocking while finishing up my Christmas shopping and last minute stuff.

I used:
Wet N' Wild MegaLast - I Red A Good Book
Wet N' Wild Fergie - No Place Like Home
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme
Wet N' Wild - Garnet! My Heel Broke
Wet N' Wild - Naughty and Iced

and I made Hello Kitty decals using the reverse stamping method and a Born Pretty Store plate.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Candy Cane Nails

So here I was, actually planning on doing another nail challenge. During one of the busiest months of the year, too. Isn't that funny?

My challenge of choice was #nailartchallengedec made by @redkoletz and @glamournailart on Instagram.

It started on the 4th day of December with Candy Cane as the theme, so I happily did it and then got happily too busy to continue, ha.

For the candy cane nails I used:

Salon Perfect - He's With Me
Snowman Polish - Green
Kiss White Striper

On my middle fingers I used:

Snowman Polish - Red & Green Glitter

And on the rest of my nails I wanted to try doing a pond mani so I used:

Santee - Peacock Green Glitter
Santee - Fuchsia Glitter
Kiss White Striper with a dotting tool

I used my Sony a5100 for this picture but I gotta admit when it comes to nails, I think I prefer my iPhone 6. I need to get more practice using it and then maybe I'll like it better but so far the iPhone is easier to hold and focuses on more. It's gotta be all in the settings.

Holiday Mash Up Nails

Hey dolls! I finally got around to doing my nails again and tried out a couple new products.

I used this gorgeous glittery pink Snowman polish in Strawberry. It does actually have a sweet strawberry scent that lingers. It reminds me to strawberry Pop Rocks. The ice cream cone bottle is really cute too.

For my accent nail I used Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme mixed with clear polish to sheer it out, with a pink skull glitter from the blue and pink skull nail deco Pumpkin Polish.

I was so excited to try these out. I broke two nails not long before Halloween and by the time everything healed and grew out Halloween was over. I got the Snowman polish before Christmas and even posted about it on Instagram:

But pink isn't a super Christmas-y color and I ended up pulling out my favorite reds and greens instead. I gave the other 3 bottles to my cousin who I always post about here and her two sisters and I'm wondering what those scents are like.

You can also spy on my ring finger a silver metallic Shimmer tattoo. It was my first time trying that out too and I liked it except it peeled off fast thanks to a lot of hand washing.

This pink is really perfect for Valentine's Day. So we got Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day here. Three holidays in one set of nails? I'm calling it a holiday mash-up.

Christmas Skittles

Hey dolls! I spent most of November with plain nails while they grew out and they're finally at a point where I feel like doing nail art again. Of course with Christmas so close, now I don't really have time for it.

I decided to do Christmas themed skittles. I like skittles. I pick a color or design, then do one nail on each hand with it, and before I know it, everything's painted.

I used some perfect Christmas polishes for this. My favorite, Salon Perfect - He's With Me for the red, Snowman Polish in Green and Red & Green glitter, Sinful Colors - Snow Me White, and Salon Perfect - Glow Pink as a base under my glitter.

Have you guys done any Christmas nail art so far?

Merry Christmas!

Here is the long overdue Christmas mani. I call this one "the little mani that could" because I think I rocked the red and green tips for most of December, then added Milani Gems on the thumbs to try it out, then finally put red & green glitter polish from Santee on Christmas morning.





Love & Beauty - Red (red tips)
Love & Beauty - Teal (green tips)
Milani - Gems (thumbs)
Santee - Peacock Green Glitter (above red tips)
Santee - Fuchsia Glitter (above green tips)

These Love & Beauty polishes have no names on the bottle but there's a name on the price tag. Red is more of a sheer red jelly with red glitter in it. Teal is more of a dark green with shimmer.

This Christmas was really fun, but the night before was hectic. Waiting till Christmas Eve to start your wrapping ain't a good idea. Then I baked cookies too, but didn't get any pics of them. Oh well, at least everything worth it cause we all had fun!
