New Years Eve Manicure

Happy New Years Eve! Here is the manicure that I will be wearing to ring in the new year. The design is basically what I do every year, but this time I used only nail foils! I got some nail foils for Christmas and I thought that New Years would be the perfect time to test them out. I love the results and I thought that they were so fun to work with!

Distressed Nails

Hello! Here are some distressed nails that I did recently. I originally did them for the PNMC this week, but I forgot about them until it was too late! I used China Glaze Dune Our Thing, Capacity To See Beyond, and Feel The Breeze.

A Late Christmas Manicure

 Hello! I'm a bit late with this, but here is the manicure that I wore on Christmas day. I used Xtreme Wear Golden-I and Celeb City for the bases. For everything else I pretty much just grabbed random polishes.

Gingerbread Men

Hello! Today I'm wearing this fun gingerbread manicure! The base is Zoya Neely, and the darker green is Revlon Posh. The gingerbread men are China Glaze Mahogany Magic. I originally started painting designs on the smaller gingerbread men, but they looked a bit frightening, so I just kept them plain brown. I really love these, I feel like they look like they could be a wrapping paper or something!

Winter Swirls

Hello! Here's yet another swirly design. Thinking back on it, I wish I had done a lace pattern with these colors instead, but it's too late now! The base is China Glaze Frosty, one of my favorite polishes to use around this time of year.

PNMC: Glitter Topper

For the PNMC this week I did the glitter topper prompt! For the base I used China Glaze One Track Mind. The gold is China Glaze Champagne Bubbles and the glitter topper is Xtreme Wear Set The Stage. The glitter in Set the Stage is very sparse, so in order to get full coverage, rather than applying a ton of thick coats, I sponged it on!

PNMC: Chevrons

 This weeks Pick N Mix prompt is my favorite design to paint, chevrons! The other prompt is also red and gold, so that's what I based my color scheme off of. I used China Glaze Cranberry Splash, China Glaze Champagne Bubbles, and Xtreme Wear Flirt.

Glitter Placed Borders

Hello! Today I have some glitter placement! I've been meaning to use China Glaze Be Merry Be Bright for a while now, but I just wasn't sure what to do, then this idea came to me. The base is China Glaze New Birth. I kind of wish I used a more interesting base color, but this has grown on me a bit.

PNMC: Dark Green

Hello! The prompt that I'm going for the Pick N Mix Challenge this week is dark green. The base is OPI Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow, and the glitter is China Glaze This Is Tree-Mendous. I really like this manicure, but boy was it a pain to photograph!
