Glam Nails Challenge: Dec.20 - Reindeer

Hi guys! Today I have some reindeer nails to show you, these are for Dec.20 of the Glam Nails Challenge. I started with a red polish as my base, which I actually got from my sister this Christmas. I then chose some reindeer images and stamped them on my nails. To finish this mani off, I added some white dots, or "snow", to my middle and ring nails. The last thing to do was to add top coat.

Close-Ups:

I like how these turned out. But I'm now kind of wishing that I had added a holo glitter topper on some parts of each nail, just for an added sparkle. Lol.

Anyway, thank you for stopping by. Until next time.

Glam Nails Challenge: Dec.17 - Christmas Wreath

Hi guys! The Dec.17 theme for Glam Nails Challenge was Christmas Wreath. I started off with red, white and black as my base colors. On my white nail, I used some round glitters and did a glitter placement to create the wreath. I only had a black/gold/white glitter mix, but I actually really liked how the colors looked all together in the end. To finish off the wreath, I picked up a bow image and made it into a decal, it actually popped up a bit because I added a second coat of top coat to it, which looked kind of cool. On my black nail, I added a gold and white glitter to complete the look. Last thing to do was apply top coat.

Close-Ups:

I really like how these turned out. I didn't use traditional colors, but I think they still look pretty Christmas-y.

Well thanks for stopping by, until next time.

First up is Psychedelic Wonderland, which is the Event Exclusive and was inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It's described as a dark green jelly with shimmering green and blue pigment, plus multi-chrome flakies. Make sure to wear a base coat with this one because I noticed it left a bit of staining behind, it wasn't terrible, but I let Emely know. I did suspect it might have been that dark green base, which she confirmed, but I just love this color too much to mind. My swatches show 2 coats plus top coat/matte top coat on ring finger.

2 coats plus top coat/matte top coat on ring finger:

Glossy:

Matte:

I also did some nail art inspired by Emely's inspiration picture.

The second polish is the VIP Event Exclusive, which Emely will also have available at her table. Deadly Romance was inspired by Emily from the Corpse Bride. It's described as a blue crelly with holo and multi-chrome flakies. My swatches show 2 coats plus top coat/matte top coat on ring finger.

2 coats plus top coat/matte top coat on ring finger:

For the nail art, I was inspired by the scene where Emily turns into butterflies.
