12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Christmas Trees

Only 3 more days remaining in the challenge guys! Today's theme is Christmas trees, and since I've featured trees in 2-3 of my manicures already, I didn't want to make a long winded post about them. I did a tape manicure starting off with Milani Silver Stilettos as the base color and China Glaze Glittering Garland as the trees. After that I drew some red ornaments o, threw on some holographic stars for the top of the trees and called it a day! What do you think?

12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Lights AND Santa

It's the last week of school before Christmas Break, YAAAAY! School is kicking my butt right now, but this semester is almost over so that's good! I'm pretty sure everyone doing the challenge fell behind after what took place on Friday, so in order to catch myself up I combined two of the days into one manicure. Theme for Saturday was lights/ornaments and today's theme is Santa which is my accent nail.

Peace & Love,

12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Snowmen

Hi guys! This was my manicure I did for yesterday's theme in the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge which was snowmen. This manicure was inspired by Robin Moses a.k.a my long distance nail inspiration/teacher. Check out her Youtube to see some of her awesome work!

The base for my manicure is Rock Solid by Orly and everything else was drawn using acrylic paint. I think this manicure is very cute and easy to do and I would recommend it to anyone getting into the holiday spirit!

Peace & Love,

12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Holly/Wreath

Today's 12 Days of Christmas Challenge theme is holly/wreathes. At first, I attempted to do wreathes thinking it would be easy but sadly I was mistaken. So then I looked up holly on google because I had no clue what it was to be honest and gave those a shot. My base color is Signature Gold by Milani and it is topped off with Dreamy by Darling Diva Polish. The holly itself and berries were hand drawn with acrylic paint. Here is the final results:

12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Candycane

Good afternoon! Today's post is yesterday's 12 Days of Christmas Challenge that's been delayed. My cold got the best of me and the smell of nail polish was making my head worse (that's when you KNOW its bad!) ! The theme for the day was candy canes and I was a little nervous because I didn't have striping tape and had no cups to do a water marble like I did last year so I did a free hand over Milani's White on the Spot. I'm pretty pleased with the final look!

Peace & Love,

Time to Trim the Tree!

Sorry for the late night blog post, but it's worth it I promise! Today I did some nail art for the final week of the Nail Polish Canada nail art competition and the theme this week is Trim the Tree!

"Lights, ornaments, tinsel, frosting, heck, even popcorn on a string if that's your thing. Let's see your nails all dolled up like a Christmas Tree!"

My base color for this manicure is Silver Stilettos by Milani and everything else is hand drawn with acrylic paint. On my index finger and pinky are holiday lights, on my ring finger is ornaments, and on my middle finger is a decorated Christmas tree covered in snow. 

I really love how this turned out! If you liked this manicure please vote for me & share it with your friends, greatly appreciated! :D

12 Days of Christmas Challenge: Snowflakes

Quick little post for today's 12DoCC. Today's theme was snowflakes. My base color is Glittering Garland by China glaze (which I have been wearing all week with no chips!) stamped (horribly might I add) with my Cheeky plate using Milani's White on The Spot.

12 Days of Christmas Challenge Day One: Red

You read the title right, I've joined another nail art challenge but this one is Christmas related. Thanks Iced Lacquer for creating this challenge and giving me something to occupy my time hahaha. Last month has been mostly reviews (and I still have a few more coming this month), but this month will be more nail art for you guys and hopefully I'll give you some inspiration.

The theme for day one is red. I decided to keep it simple since most of the challenge days are nail art and I didn't want to overlap any ideas. The base color for my manicure is Emberstone by Orly, and to spruce it up a bit I did a red border with my glequins from the Born Pretty Store.

Can't wait for the next days to come!

Peace & Love,

World Diabetes Day

Good afternoon ladies and gents! Today's manicure is dedicated to World Diabetes Day. Diabetes as long as cancer and high blood pressure is very common to my family unfortunately, so I decided to show my support by painting my nails blue as other bloggers are doing as well.

The colors I used for this manicure are:
*NYC - Water Street Blue
*Darling Diva Polish - Dreamy
*OPI - Swimsuit Nailed It

The stamping plate I used are these cute little circles on CH48 that reminded me of the World Diabetes Day logo.

Peace & Love,

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Favorite

It's been fun guys, but the HNAC has officially come to an end. The final theme was to re-create your favorite manicure or create a Halloween manicure of your own. My nails technically weren't apart of the challenge, but they are a re-creation. I re-created my killer manicure which can be seen Here, and the tutorial for it is here.

Peace & Love,

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Ghosts

Hello to all! We are slowly approaching the end of the Halloween nail art challenge *cries*, but its okay because I had so much fun doing all of the different themes. Today's theme was ghosts.

At first I was going to do a cute lil Casper the friendly ghost, but by time I got home from football I was tired as heck and took the easy way out. I think these ghosts are sooooo cute yet simple. What do you think?

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Spiders

I was on the bus today on my way home from school, when this girl tapped me on my shoulder and was freaking out. I had no idea why until she told me there was a HUGE spider climbing on me. I slapped that sucker off so quick and ran for my life. I'm deathly afraid of pretty much any insects, but I guess that was its way of reminding me to do today's Halloween nail art challenge theme which is indeed spiders.

 I used one coat of China Glaze's Liquid Crystal over one coat of Ozotic 743, and hand drew the spiders with black acrylic paint.

Check out the other awesome manicures!

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Bats

Hey guys! Today is another Halloween nail art challenge day and I took a different route with my nails that I have never done.

I promise you I tried SO HARD to draw today's theme which is a bat, but that was an EXTREMELY epic fail. So then I thought of cutting out a stencil of a bat instead, but I made it waaay to big. So then I got this bright idea.....

I just stuck that sucker on with some nail polish and it worked like a charm. I personally love the originality of this and the look it gave my nails because I'm not one to try crazy things with my nails, but I think I should try more often. Tell me what you think :).

Don't forget to check out these other awesome manicures!

Halloween Nail Art Challenge: Tombstones

Oh my gosh guys I completely forgot about today's nail art challenge! I thought it was tomorrow instead of today and I felt horrible when I logged on and seen everyone's beautiful manicures. So I literally JUST slapped something together in five minutes just to have the post up in time.

Today's theme is tombstones, so I just drew a bunch of tree's and tombstones over my current manicure. I actually like this color as a background, seems very magical!

Check out these other blogger's designs!

Peace & Love,
