12 Days of Christmas: Snowflakes

Another quick post! Today's theme of the Christmas Challenge is Snowflakes. I used this Youtube tutorial by IndigoNova1, make sure to check out her channel! Hers are way more beautiful, but I am quite pleased with mine too. No, I actually really love them. They came out waaaay better than I had expected, yay!

So I used Bourjois Blue Water as a base colour, I drew the snowflakes with a white polish: Only You White French and these nail art brushes from Born Pretty Store. After that I added some ILNP Matthew Peri glitter around the snowflakes and I topped it all with my all-time favourite topcoat: Essence Top Sealer.

You can buy your own I Love Nail Polish bottles here! Barbra just released a new collection: the New Year's Collection, so make sure to check it out!

12 Days of Christmas: Gifts

Quick post!
Yep, I am late, AGAIN. But I am catching up, or at least I'm trying. I don't have a lot of time to design something complicated, so this cute bow has to do the for the theme of today (actually of Friday), which is Gifts!

I used Ooh La Lacquer - Beware of the Plastics as a base colour. For the bow I used Kiko - 236, NYC - City Blackout and nail art brushes from Born Pretty Store.

Oh yeah, you can buy Ooh La Lacquer on Etsy!

12 Days of Christmas: Snowmen

Yes, yes, I know, I'm ridiculously late with the Snowmen nails. Normally, I had to post these on Sunday and today I had to post my nails inspired by a holiday movie. I'll post my holiday movie nails tomorrow, pinky promise.

So, for this manicure I used:
  - Bourjois Bleu Water
  - Only You White French
  - Acrylic paints
  - Nail art brushes from Born Pretty Store
  - Essence Top Sealer

And I used this tutorial for the snowman. And I used the sponge technique for the gradient!

12 Days of Christmas: Candy Canes

Today's challenge is... Candy Canes! Really excited about this one, because I used my first Essie EVER and because I used a superstunning indie Polish: Moon Shine by Forever Polished. The lovely Ashley from Forever Polished sent me a few of her gorgeous polishes and I will post a swatch every week, and that for FIVE WEEKS!

Alright, onto the Challenge! So today's Candy Canes and I was so happy with this theme. I wanted to do a candy cane pattern for so long, but I never got to it. So today was the perfect day!

As I already mentioned, I used Essie's Leading Lady on my thumb and my pinky. It's my first Essie and it didn't dissapoint me at all. Great application, great colour, quick drytime and I only needed two coats. Then for my index finger and my ring finger I used Only You - White French, H&M - Cherry and nail art brushes from Born Pretty Store. Then for my middle finger, I painted on a layer of Only You - White French and I topped it off with 2 coats of Forever Polished - Moon Shine.

Who of you likes candy canes? Everyone? Duh..

12 Days of Christmas: Holiday Song

Today's the second day of the 12DoC Nail Art Challenge. The theme is a Holiday Song. From the first minute I saw this theme I thought RUDOLPH! So these are my Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - nails. They're quite abstract, but they're so stinkin' cute!

I used Only You - Geisha, Essence - Café Olé as a base colour, NYC - City Blackout, Only You - White French, Kiko - 324 for the antlers and H&M - Cherry and Essence - Glamourous Life for his nose!
I also used dotting tools and nail art brushes from Born Pretty Store. To seal in the design, I painted on a layer of Essence - Top Sealer.

What's your favourite Christmas song?
