12 Days of Christmas: Tinsel

I had no idea what to do for this design.  I thought about doing the string technique, but I didn't want to deal with the mess.  I Googled tinsel images and when looking at them I realized I had a stamp reminded me of it.  Bundle Monster BM-312 worked rather well!  Oh, and I am sorry the lighting isn't very good, I did this at night.

I used China Glaze Holly-Day, Millennium, and City Siren.  I wanted to stamp an ornament over the top of them with BM-318, but it didn't show up, so I filled it in.  That red blob is supposed to be an ornament. . .

One more day to go till Christmas!  I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

31 Nail Art Challenge Take Two Day 14: Supernatural

A friend tagged me in something she pinned on Pinterest, so when I saw this prompt I had to do it!  Heather, this is for you!

 Beauty Chocolate's design is easier than it looks and definitely makes a statement.  I really want to do these again around Halloween!

I used China Glaze Liquid Leather, City Siren, and White-on-White.

Don't forget to bite into the other participants designs, you are sure to get a scream!

12 Days of Christmas: Gifts

I apologize for the wear on my manicure, I had been wearing them for three days before I had a chance to take a picture.  I honestly don't know if I will be able to finish this challenge seeing as how I have a week to get everything done before I leave for my cruise.  Eek!  I guess I can only take it a day at a time.

So I didn't do anything out of the box or extravagant for this design.  I love the colors though.  I used China Glaze Rare & Radiant and City Siren.  R&R is a lovely duo chrome that shifts from green to gold.  The pictures didn't capture it accurately, but it is very festive.  The bow was stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 317

I hope you like it and that you check out the other designers!

12 Days of Christmas: Christmas Tree

So I joined another challenge.  I know what you are thinking, that I am crazy with the 31 one day challenge going on as well.  I couldn't help it, seeing as it is a Christmas challenge plus I have over 2/3rds of the 31 day challenge written and 4 more manicures done and waiting to be blogged and scheduled.  I think I can make it work.  I will still have to double up on weekends, but I really want to try.  So, the Christmas challenge posts will be more real time.

Something horrible happened yesterday and I ripped my thumb nail.  It wasn't a just a break.  It was painful and bled.  It still throbs today.  So last night, before I did this manicure, I filed down all my other nails, not as short as thumb, so goodbye long pretty nails.  They are still long, just definitely not as long.  I also have a band-aid on my thumb, so you will see that in the background.  I didn't even bother painting my left thumb, so the pic later on is my right.

So the theme today was Christmas trees.  I Have A Cupcake did an awesome design and tutorial a couple of days ago.  In fact this design was the reason I decided to do this challenge, because it gave me an excuse to do it.

I did my own take on it and used loose glitter stars from Artclub to top the trees.  I also just used green glitter for the actual trees, because I wanted them to sparkle.  Sad thing is I couldn't capture the gorgeous sparkle due to the icky weather we are having.

The polishes were China Glaze Red Satin, Winter Holly, and City Siren which was the background dots.

Don't forget to take a look at all the other participants.  There are a lot of gorgeous manicures!

Tootles!
