12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Glittery Candy Canes

Hellooooo everyone! Today's theme is GLITTER. First I wanted to do Piggieluv's fun glitter manicure, but then I thought: hmmm maybe I want to do something more Christmassy.

Ahhhh, glitter!

Essie - Leading Lady
Sinful Colors - Snow me White
Only You - Diabolique

12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Minion Santa!

Hey all! Today's prompt is Santa of Elves. I was sure I wanted to paint Santa, but I did not really want a reaaal Santa. So I randomly start searching on Google when I stumbled upon Minion Santa!

For this mani, I was inspired by Nailstorming. I thought it was so cute and I just could not resist re-creating it.

Polishes used for this mani:
Sinful Colors - Snow me white
Catrice - Black to the Routes
Catrice - Birdy Reloaded!
Only You - Diabolique
Kiko - 328

As always, make sure to check out some more Santas or Elves below. And let me know what you think in the comments!

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: Holiday Movie

Gotta be having déjà vu?! Yes, I was lazy and I used this manicure as a base for my Snowmen nails.

So what Holiday Movie inspired me? Well, it's Blauwteen Het Kerstelfje, or Bluetoes The Christmas Elf!

It was my favourite Christmas movie when I was little and it's just super cute and hmm!

And for the ones who don't know who Bluetoes is, check him out here!

Oh yeah, my nails represent his blue toes, OBVIOUS.

So I basically used the same as yesterday, minus the acrylic paints and nail art brushes.

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..
