China Glaze Holly-Day & Bundle Monster 04

Merry Christmas loves! Here's what I wore for Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. I used China Glaze Holly-Day and stamped using BM 04 in China Glaze Passion. My accent nail is China Glaze Angel Wings. Hope everyone had a lovely holiday and got lots of nail polish!

Peppermint Candy French Tips

Merry Xmas Eve everyone! Short post today because I have 3 family parties to go to today. For this mani I used Zoya Purity and stamped using Red Angel RA 110 in Konad Red. Hope everyone has a lovely day with their family and friends!

China Glaze Winter Berry & Bundle Monster 314

Happy Friday everyone! Today I decided to use an image I've wanted to use for a long time, but I guess I've kind of been "saving it." Do any of you ladies ever do that when you like an image so much, but don't want to just use it for a random mani and "waste" it? Maybe I'm just a little crazy. For this mani I used China Glaze Winter Berry and stamped using BM 314 in Essie Good as Gold. My accent nail is OPI DS Indulgence, it's such a beauty!

China Glaze For Audrey & Bundle Monster SE1

Hi beauties! I'm totally enjoying the beginning of my break so far because I have so much time to do my nails now. I got the special edition Bundle Monster plate last week and have been dying to use it. Here's my first mani with it. I used China Glaze Glistening Snow and China Glaze For Audrey and stamped using BM SE1 in Konad White. It's so girly and sparkly!

Christmas Chevrons

YAY, I'm officially on winter break! I have one more semester left and then I'll be an RN! Anyways enough about school, I'm pretty sure my last few posts included me whining about it lol. I have been wanting to do some festive manis so I got right to it. I did this one really quickly so I can do another mani, so don't mind any imperfections =P I did a simple chevron design using A England Perceval and Zoya Holly. It's simple, but I really like how it came out.

Christmas Sweater Nails

Happy Friday! The holidays are just around the corner so I did some festive nails for today. I saw a Christmas sweater inspired mani by The Nail Network and I just had to re-create it because it's brilliant. Here's China Glaze With Love stamped using BM 14, BM 214, and Konad M57 in Konad White. I did a full mani so I ended up stamping 30 times! A little time consuming, but the end result is so worth it. My final is on Monday so you won't hear from me until after it's over. Wish me luck!

Christmas Colored Double Lightning Bolt

Merry Christmas everyone! I have a pretty cool mani to show you today. I have been scared to try out scotch tape manicures because I've been paranoid of ripping off my base colors, but I got brave and wanted to challenge myself by doing something a little more difficult. I used a tutorial from Jane at Nailside. It's my first one and I'm pretty proud of how it came out =] I used China Glaze Poinsettia, China Glaze Passion, and China Glaze Holly Day. I think I'll be trying out some more scotch tape manis in the near future! Hope everyone has a wonderful day with their loved ones!

My right hand! Haha I think ever since I started my blog I have only posted pics of my right hand TWICE.  

China Glaze Blue Year's Eve and Konad M59

Today I have a winter snowflake mani to show you. I've seen a lot of snowflake designs that look very similar, so I tried to make mine look a little different. I used a base of China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. Then I used some scotch tape to make the V-shape and painted the tips with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Silver Sweep. To make it look shimmery, I added Essie Luxeffects in Pure Pearlfection. Then I stamped with Konad M59 in Konad White. Lastly, I added some blue rhinestones. I was worried I was adding too much, but I ended up really liking the end result =]

Christmas Water Marble

I wanted to do two Christmas water marble manis, but I only had time for this one. It didn't turn out as well as I wanted it to. I think the gold I used kind of mixed with the other colors a bit, but I still think it looks pretty decent. Does anyone have any suggestions of a gold polish that works well with water marbling? My favorite nail is my index finger, I wish all of my nails turned out that way. I used a base color of China Glaze Passion and to marble I used China Glaze Passion, Sally Hansen  Xtreme Wear in Cherry Red, and Zoya Holly. Anyways, short post today, my nails are drying as I do this post. I have two more really festive Christmas nails to show in the next couple days!

China Glaze Poinsettia, China Glaze Ring In the Red, and Konad M65

I wanted to do a candy cane theme for my first Christmas mani. My first idea didn't work out, but I still succeeded! My first idea was to have a red glitter base and water marble with white and clear. The reason I wanted to marble with white and clear was so the red and white wouldn't mix together and look pink, but unfortunately the clear polishes I tried using didn't work for me. I think I should've just tried marbling using white and red. Oh well. I still wanted a candy cane look so I used China Glaze Poinsettia and China Glaze Ring In the Red for a base and then stamped using Konad M65 in Konad White. Still looks candy cane like right...right? Lol.
