Snowman

Hi guys! I ended up moving this past weekend, so I will be on a little hiatus until I get all my stuff settled. My room is a bit smaller, so it's a pain trying to fit everything.

In the meantime, I will have a little giveaway until I come back. The prize will only be a bottle of the blue/purple glitter snowman, not the multi-glitter one.

To qualify:

Leave a comment below telling me what polishes you have on your Christmas wishlist.

& Your email.

One winner will randomly be chosen when I'm done fixing my new room.

You'll have 24 hours to respond back, or a new winner will be chosen.

Ta ta for now!

How do you pack your nail polishes?

So far I threw most of my nail polishes in a box & moved them over to my bf's home. The only polishes left with me are those in my Melmer & this rack. I shall be moving the Melmer tomorrow & taking the rack down the day after.

Enjoy my China Glaze rainbow for now :)

Candy Cane Nails

More Christmas nails! Do you guys enjoy candy canes? I like the Willy Wonka candy canes, they remind me of elementary school. Anyways, the base for my mani is OPI Mummy Knows Best & I made the strips with LA Colors Art Deco Red Glitter. My hand is a bit more steadier compared to when I tried to do candy cane last year.

The matte top coat really dulled my candy canes. Boo, matte didn't win this mani.

Minty Christmas

During the holidays, I love eating Andes Mint Chocolates & that's where my inspiration came from. Here is three coats of Orly Ancient Jade & two layers of China Glaze Party Hearty, finished off with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

Here's a little convo with the boyfriend, lol.

Bf: Are you wearing Jade is the New Black?

Me: No.

Bf: Ancient Jade?

Me: How'd you know there was Jade in the name?

Bf: I just know.

Icicle Nails

Here's my "Day 3 Icicle" nails from the 24 days of Christmas challenge. They look amazing IRL! My mom really liked this mani. The base color is Sinful Colors Midnight Blue & I made the icicles with LA Colors Art Deco in White & went over it with LA Colors Art Deco in Silver Glitter.

Snow Fall

I've been seeing the 24 days of Christmas nail challenge on a few blogs & I shall be doing some of them at my own pace.

Here is the "Day 1 Snow Fall" mani. I based my inspiration off of the banner on my blog. I left the snowman blank because I was a bit lazy. I like how it turned out though! This mani has three coats of Essie Coat Azure as the base color & the snow are Wet n Wild French White & China Glaze Shooting Stars. I finished the overall mani with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

Gift Wrapping Nails

Next of the 12 Days of Christmas Mani's are gift wrapping!

Gift Wrapping

First I used Essie Russian Roulette as the base color. I have not worn a lot of reds as my base color, but this one is my favorite so far because it's a jelly!

Russian Roulette

Then I used Bundle Monster BM201 plate to stamp my pattern in China Glaze Millennium from their Khrome collection.

Finally I added some white strips from LA Colors Art Deco because all of the image didn't transfer onto my nails. I think it's because I switched stamper. Must go back to my old one. Then I finished it with Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

Not really liking this mani, on to the next!
