Hi guys! Today's mani is for Dec.13 of the Glam Nails Challenge, and the theme was Poinsettia. I know I'm late with the challenges again, but I plan on finishing this. So I apologize to those of you that don't want to see holiday manis anymore, but expect more of them. Lol. Anyway, I started off with a golden yellow holo for my base and began to look for an image that would help me achieve the look of a poinsettia. I didn't have any poinsettia images, so I took a leaf image and used that. I first stamped it on with a green polish and added a lighter green to create the leaves. I then used a dark red polish and added red to make the petals of the flower. It could've come out better to be honest, I did regret not adding some white to the back of the flower. It would've popped more. Last thing I did, was add some golden dots near the middle of the flowers, let that dry, and added top coat.

Well I hope you guys still like these, even though they do look a bit weird. Thanks for stopping by, until next time.

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.

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.

Hi guys! Today's mani is a recreation of one of Kristi's manis. She's having a giveaway at the moment, so this recreation will be an entry to that. Anyway, she did a cute little Halloween mani back in October which I had to recreate. I know Halloween came and went, but I picked it because I've been missing it so much, lol. I was so sad when I had to take down all of my Halloween decorations. So, this makes up for that in a way.
Alrighty, so I started with a couple coats of an orange jelly polish. I didn't have a creme polish that resembled the one in her original mani, so I went with this one. I then picked out a dusty purple to stamp with. I stamped on the bats on my middle and ring finger, and added some dots on my other nails to finish the look. The last thing to do was to add top coat.
Close-Ups:
Original/Recreation:
The manis don't look exactly the same, and after seeing how sheer the stamping turned out with the purple, I wish I had used a black stamping polish instead. This orange was also very difficult to capture, it looked a bit lighter in real life, maybe a bit similar to the creme Kristi used. Well, it still looks pretty nice, I hope you all like it.
As always, thank you for stopping by. Until next time.

Hi guys! I know I'm super late in starting the challenge, but I still wanted to catch up and do some fun manis. Even if they are late, lol. Anyway, the theme for Nov.01 of the Glam Nails Challenge was Peacock. I started with a pretty purple base, and did some reverse stamping with a peacock feather image. Pretty simple right?
Close-Ups:
Well I hope you like the mani, I know it's not the best.
As always, thank you for stopping by and until next time.
