Once Upon a Winter Midnight

 Purchased By Me / Press Sample 

Hi guys! Today I have a swatch and some easy nail art with nail stickers. So let's get to it.

This is Once Upon A Winter Midnight, a Limited Edition polish by MDJ Creations. I purchased this beauty during Melissa's Black Friday sale, and I'm so glad I did. It's a dark navy blue jelly polish with white and silver holo glitter. The glitter mix contains snowflake, moon, diamond, circle and hex glitters. Since this polish has a lot of large glitter, I flipped the bottle upside down for some time. I applied 2 coats with no problem, and I didn't really have to fish for the glitter. The pictures show 2 coats plus top coat.

I just love the glitter mix. Don't you?

For the nail art part, I just decided to place some Christmas nail stickers over my swatch. I got the stickers at the 99 cents only store during their holiday clearance sale. I was hoping they would be good, but unfortunately, they didn't stick on too well.

The stickers do look adorable, but I did struggle with keeping them down on my nail. Even after I added the top coat, they kept lifting, so I had to hold them in place with my orange wood stick until the top coat dried.

Well I hope you guys liked the swatch and mani. I know the holidays have been over for some time already, but I wanted to try these nail stickers out.

Thank you so much for stopping by, until next time.

Christmas Kiss

 Giveaway Prize / Press Sample 

Merry Christmas everyone! If you're celebrating, then I hope you're having the most beautiful time with your families.

Here's a holiday mani I did, I was inspired by MsCharliesNails on Instagram. She did a mistletoe design and I remembered I had a lip charm that would be perfect for it. My design isn't exactly like hers, but I was inspired after I saw it. I love the outcome, check it out.

I used Envy Lacquer's "Berry Pop" and "Apple Pucker" as my base colors, and they're absolutely beautiful. On my middle finger I painted on some mistletoe with acrylic paints, and I added the lip charm on my ring finger. A very simple but pretty mani.

"Kinda Jazzy" Snowflakes

 Giveaway Prize / Press Sample 

Hi guys, can you believe we're less than 10 days away from Christmas? That's just insane. Anyways, today I have a holiday mani to share with you, I hope you like it.

Holding Love, Angeline "Topped With Love":

I started off with Stardust Polish "Kinda Jazzy" which is absolutely gorgeous. Each time I put it on, I fall in love with it all over again. I did 2 coats and added top coat, then I painted on the snowflakes with gold acrylic paint and a brush. I finished off with top coat once everything dried.
