Candy Cane Glitter Nails

It's almost here you guys Christmas!!!! I haven't got all my shopping done yet but I still have four days plenty of time! haha. For this design I used Essie's "Really Red" which is pretty similar to their "Lollipop" color but a bit darker. Then I used a white stripier and a gold glitter stripier to do the lines across my nails. Don't be afraid to try different glitter colors for this design. I'm positive that they would look good with different ones and textures.




This next color I absolutely adore! China Glaze has amazing colors and best of all, the colors don't get thicker while sitting in the bottle if you don't use them. This is "Ruby Pumps" from their Wizard of Oz collection. Enjoy!


 
 Hope you ladies enjoyed this design Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! All the best in 2012:)

Holiday Color and Topcoats

Season's Greetings!

I've been really excited to use these holiday top coats from Essie's Holiday collection. They all have different textures which I love. The one that I'm using in this post is called "Set in Stones" and it's silver. I also did an accent nail to give this mani a holiday feel:)




I've grown to like pastel colors. I didn't so much before because I thought they looked awkward on my fingers nails. But you just have to find the right shade. I used Essie's infamous "Mint Candy Apple" and "Lollipop" has the accent nail polish. I love this top coat. So far I only have two out of the five top coats from the collection I will probably get the whole collection eventually.

Some New Goodies

Hello Everyone,

Look what I got in the mail last week!:

KONAD STAMPS!


I'm super dooper excited to start using my new treasures!!! I've heard and seen a lot about these products so I said to myself, self you gotta get on this Konad train and enjoy the ride! haha ANY WHO! for this design I wanted to do some cute snowflakes on my nails because winter is here and I really love the look of glistening snow. It's very pretty to me and one of the only things I like about winter.


The blue polish I used is China Glaze's "Frostbite" it's a deep pearl luster blue and added the snowflake stamps. Enjoy!

A Very Matte Christmas

Hey Guys Happy Holidays!!

I've been thinking of cute Christmas designs to put up and I thought of this Christmas paint splatter Matte design. It's really eye catching and goes good with Christmas party outfits. Which is what i'll be wearing to a Christmas party ill be attending:) Since paint dries matte, I used Essie's  "Matte About You" polish (which makes any polish go from shiny to matte) to give my design that paint effect. Here are the other polishes I used:

China Glaze's "Ruby Pumps, Swing Baby and Essie's Going Incognito"

Here's the turn out:


 The Thumb was my favorite so I did a close up for that one. I also mixed up what colors I put on my fingers. I was going to try and put all three colors on all my fingers, but my nails beds aren't big enough. Next time I do this, I am going to make smaller dots on my fingers. Hope you ladies enjoyed this design. See you soon!
