Last two holiday manicures.

I'm so behind on blogging! Lots going on here. We are moving to a new house in the next couple weeks so I won't be doing manicures with all the packing! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and happy new year!

Jingle bells, jingle bells...

For a Christmas party last weekend, I wanted to do another Christmas inspired manicure. I hadn't used the bells on one of my Monster plates, so I decided gold bells with red ribbons would be perfect for the night!

It's been a week since I blogged?

Oops! I better post these last few Christmas nails before Christmas is over!

Let it snow!

Happy Holly-days!

I wanted to use some more Christmas stamps from my Konad and I loved the holly berries. In my head, I saw a light green base with dark green holly and red berries so that's what I tried. The green on green didn't show up well and the berries looked black. Without removing that, I painted a white base so I could try a light green holly and that turned out so much better. Even the berries looked healthier!

Candy cane tips.

Still feeling in the Christmas spirit, I did these candy cane inspired tips for the weekend. They were cute and really easy to do free hand.

Tis the season!

For holiday nails!

I had gotten this red glitter polish, Finger Paints Santa Kisses, awhile back at Sally's. It's a great glitter but it took a lot to get a thick coat because I didn't use a base coat.

Then, using a toothpick that I had cut to make a flat end, I dotted on some white polish to make the puffy cotton parts and voila! A Santa hat. Very festive.

Nicole holiday polish

I did my next manicure with the Nicole Brrr Brrr Burgundy. This is such a pretty red polish. I took a picture with and without flash so you can really see the color.


I had been experimenting for a friend who wanted a manicure to do on her daughter and came up with something that reminded me of a gift.

The black stripes look to me like ribbon on a box. I will probably do another version of this with gold or silver when it's closer to Christmas.

Holiday polishes.

In Target the other week, I came upon this pair of holiday colors by Nicole. The red is Brrr Brrr Burgundry and the glittery one is Come in from the Coal'd. The Sally Hansen is Bronze Ablaze.

I wanted to use the glittery polish so I started with two coats of black and then topped it with the new polish. I really liked the outcome. The Nicole polish is very glittery. It was even a little tough to remove with all the glitter but the manicure was so cute I didn't mind the clean up.

I have a couple upcoming manicures with the two other polishes, plus, I just went crazy at Sally's this week and grabbed a few more to add to the collection.
