12 Days of Christmas: Glitter Nails

Good Morning Babes! Today is day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge. Glitter Nails is what today's poison is. Since today is Wednesday I was going to do a pink glitter, but decided to stick with the holiday mani's and maybe I will post the pink glitter later :o) . Disco Dolls by NOPI from the Kardashian Kolor Collection has a sheer gold base jammed packed with a rainbow assortment of glitter. This is one of Khloe's colors and she described it as looking like a disco ball exploded. For the swatches below I used 2 coats to reach opacity and 2 coats of SV as my tc.

What are your thoughts on Disco Dolls? I'm not a gold fan at all but I do really like this polish. Unfortunately I don't think its at all flattering against my skin tone :o( . Don't forget to head over and check out the glitta that my challenge mates posted: Tera, Marta and Carolina. Thanks for reading and see you tomorrow for our first My Choice day.

12 Days of Christmas: Candy Cane Nails

Good Morning Babes! Today is day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge. Candy Cane Nails is what we have going on today. I chose blue candy canes because those are the yummiest ones to me. My base is Bettina Vintage Jean, stamped with Blue Years Eve by China Glaze, Passion Purple by Dr's Remedy, BM ip 207, and SV at my tc. I chose this ip because the stripes aren't small like traditional candy canes, so I wanted to switch it up a little bit. Its came out as a fail because I didn't line up the stamp properly but I just didn't have enough to to completely redo the mani, so hopefully you see what I was trying to achieve. I'm still really under the weather, so please excuse this mani.

Here's an idea of how I intended to stamp across my nail so that it would look more like the stripes on the candy cane.

Do you like my blue candy canes? The blue isn't exact but its the closes I could get. Have you checked out Tera, Marta and Carolina Candy Cane mani's yet? Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you. See you tomorrow for Wrapping Paper Nails.

12 Days of Christmas: Green Nails

Good Morning Babes! Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge is Green Nails. I went with 2 coats of Holly Day by China Glaze. The formula on HD is really good. I originally opted not to get this one when I was looking at the Let It Snow Collection, but ended up going back and getting it because I don't have any "Christmas tree green" colors in my stash.


My Challenge Mates:
Carolina - Colores de Carol

Marta - Chit Chat Nails 

How are you liking Holly Day? Its just a basic green green type of green that's perfect for the holiday season. Don't forget to stop by and check on my loves Tera, Marta and Carolina, and follow their blogs if you aren't already a follower. Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow for Candy Cane Nails!

12 Days of Christmas: Silver Nails

Good Morning Babes! Today is day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge and up today is Silver Nails. I used 1 coat of Zoya Trixie and my base, layered on 1 coat of OPI Crown Me Already, and a nice thick coat of SV as my tc. I couldn't resist adding a little bit of glitta to bling out this mani. I actually bought Trixie a while ago because I didn't own a silver, and I wanted a really good one that I could paint and stamp with.

My Challenge Mates:
Carolina - Colores de Carol

Tera - Nails in Nippon

Marta - Chit Chat Nails 

What do you think of this combo? I think it would be a fun NYE mani. Don't forget to stop by to see what Tera, Marta and Carolina came up with today for their silver nails, and if you aren't already following their amazing blogs don't hesitate to click that follow button!

12 Days of Christmas: Red Nails

Good Morning Babes! Today is day the first day of our 12 Day of Christmas Challenge. Its the same ladies in this challenge as the 10 Day Challenge we did last month. Red Nails is what we have going on today, so I took the chance to finally crack open my China Glaze Let It Snow Collection. Poinsetta is my choice of red and OMG am I so happy that I chose this baby. This is my first pure red that I have ever worn on my nails. I wore a metallic red by Bettina, but this color is red red. The formula is am amazing jelly creme hybrid. Don't you just love those types of formulas? I sure do! It took 3 coats to reach opacity but I totally didn't mind because it was super easy to apply and dried very fast.

My Challenge Mates:
Carolina - Colores de Carol

Tera - Nails in Nippon

Marta - Chit Chat Nails 

Don't you just love Poinsetta?! That's with NO tc, isn't it super glossy?! I'm so in love with this that I had to just admire it, because I sure wasn't about to stamp over it. This is the sexiest red ever and it looks amazing against my skin tone! I'm so glad I have shorties right now, because I really get to enjoy dark colors and look chic. I think on long nails dark colors can be a little touch and go (black and vampy colors like Lincoln Park After Dark) at times. Don't forget to check on my amazing challenge mates Tera, Marta and Carolina to see what they came up with for today's Red Nails. Don't forget to stop by tomorrow for Silver Nails. Thanks for reading :o)
