Glam Nails Challenge: Dec.06 & 10 - Santa Claus & Jingle Bells

Merry Christmas everyone! If you're celebrating, I hope you're having a wonderful time with your loved ones. If not, I hope you're having a good day regardless.

So, I know I'm really late in posting this, but I hope you like it. This mani is for the Glam Nails Challenge of Dec.06 and 10, the themes were Santa Claus and Jingle Bells. I started with a gorgeous green polish with copper flakies as my base. Then, I picked up the bell and Santa images and did some reverse stamping. After they were filled in, I waited for the polish to dry a bit so I could stamp them on. Once they were on my nails, all I had to do was apply top coat.

Close-Ups:

I really like how they came out, I hope you do too. Also, I absolutely LOVE my base polish, it's so pretty!

As always, thank you so much for stopping by. Until next time.

A Weekly Dose of Rainbows: Inspired by the Season / Glam Nails Challenge: Dec.03 - Snowflakes

Hi guys! This month's theme for A Weekly Dose of Rainbows is 'Inspired by the Season', and the Glam Nails Challenge theme for Dec.01 is Snowflakes, so I thought I would just combine them both. I chose a beautiful teal jelly with glitter as my base, and I stamped on some snowflakes. To add a bit more color, I applied some gold holo glitter on the stamping. I hope you all like it.

Close-Ups:

I'm so in love with this teal polish, I'm so glad I got it.

As always, thank you for stopping by. Until next time.

Glam Nails Challenge: Nov.26 - Sweater Prints

Hi guys! Today I have a Sweater Prints mani to share with you, it was the theme for Nov.26 of the Glam Nails Challenge. Christmas sweaters were my inspiration, so I wanted to go with traditional colors. I was planning on using some red and green holos as my base colors, but then decided to use a flakie polish to give it more of a fuzzy look. So I applied 2 coats of the flakie polish, and applied top coat. It was too pretty on it's own, that I just wanted to leave it alone. Lol. But I went ahead and stamped on the Christmas sweater print, and they looked so neat. The shift in the flakies is just so stunning, I kept catching myself staring and moving my nails to see the color shift. Anyway, the last thing to do was a bit of clean-up, and to apply top coat.

You can see the blue in there:

What do you guys think? I really hope you like them because I'm so happy with how they turned out. Also, I'm glad I ended up picking this polish, I think it did give it a fuzzy sweater feel.

As always, thanks for stopping by. Until next time.

A Weekly Dose of Rainbows: Skittles

 Purchased By Me / Giveaway Prize / Past Press Sample 

Hi guys! It's been forever since I last posted a mani for A Weekly Dose of Rainbows, which is now every month instead of every week. This month's theme is skittle manis, I hope you like what I came up with. I started with a coat of white polish so my colors would pop, once that dried, I applied my colors. For my accent nail I chose a tribal looking design from my Celebration BPX-L008 stamping plate. I picked up the design and did some reverse stamping. When I finished filling in the colors I went ahead and stamped it on my nail. Once everything was dry, I applied top coat. Unfortunately, I accidentally smeared my design. But other than that, I loved how it looked.

Close-Ups:

Well I hope you love this mani as much as I did. Thanks for stopping by, until next time.
