My REAL Christmas mani

I got this idea from Nora @ Nail of the week's Christmas tree konad. I really love what she did, but unfortunately I did not have that plate. I really thought I did, so I ended up using one the biggest star from the half-circle of stars on m3.

Here's some pic spam:

I will upload some better pics tomorrow morning. EDIT: Here are the pics from this morning:

I started with a base color of ChG Emerald Sparkle and let's see if I can get all of these colors right for the stars:
Zoya Trixie
ChG Solar Power
a Massini Fall purple holo w/no name
OPI Blue Moon Lagoon (for stars and big snowflake on thumb)
Revlon Lily Chrome
ChG Ruby Pumps
SH Radiant
ChG Frostbite
and I think that's it!

Then I topped it off with a shaken Northern Lights holo topcoat.

Hope you like it!

Have a Merry Christmas!!

One Christmas Mani

I wanted a really dark red so I wore Isadora Midnight Red for a day.

I really like this deep creme, but I had a problem with it coming off on paper and it looked like I was drawing with crayons. Does any one else have that problem?

Then I decided I wanted some kind of red sparkle so I added Miliani Spellbinding on the pointer, ChG Ruby Pumps on the middle, and Orly Star Spangled on the ring finger.

This is a different way of getting Spellbinding on with one coat instead of alone with 3 or 4 coats.

Then I reversed it. I added Ruby Pumps and Star Spangled to half of my pointer nail and added Spellbinding on top of the middle and finger nails.




On my thumb I have Spellbinding and I added Ruby Pumps as a french. Very subtle.

This was all done, just for fun and so I could see how they looked.

Then it was time for something Christmas-y and I was too lazy to take off my nail polish.

So I added a french tip with OPI Paris Couture for Sure followed underneath that with ChG Emerald Sparkle. On my ring I used PCFS, ES, RP, and Zoya Trixie to make it kinda look like wrapping paper. KINDA!!

I am hoping to do a Christmas Tree mani tonight and I will try to post it as well.

EDIT: I forgot to post that this was a b*tch to remove!!! It stained my nails like crazy! It might be because I kept packin on the layers or that this was an old polish.

Thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Thanks for posting this, Brooke! It was so much fun!

Snow on a Blue Day

Someone else did a mani like this, but I can't find it for some reason, so if anyone knows who this is, please leave a comment and I will give credit. Thanks.

I started off with Eyeko Pastel Polish for nice nails (a nice iridescent blue).

Then I added one coat of sinful colors Queen of Beauty starting at my cuticles going up on half of the nail.

The NEXT day I added a coat of ChG Polar Ice (I think) from the ChG Glitters collection that I picked up from Sally's. I thought this gave it more of a 'just-fallen-glittery-snow' feel.

Thanks for looking!

Snow and Icicles

This idea I copied from Nora @ Nail of the week seen here. My lines aren't as defined as hers, but I still like how this came out.

This is SH Salon Wine Not? as the base and Zoya Trixie for the silver and Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty for the glitter. I used a thin (but not so thin) art brush to apply.

This kinda ended up as a great way to do a french tip more than icicles.

Thanks for looking!
