Tis the Season

So it's been a while since my last post, between work and more work plus holiday shopping and celebrating everyday normal activities took a bit of a backseat. Here i have Candy Cane inspired design where using nail taper i was able to create a really clean design.

My pointer finger was just an experiment with a different design and my pinky was a mistake but Im actually really happy with how this turned out ^_^

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...!




So I was really excited to do a Christmas tree and Ta-Da! It's a really simple design but I like how it turned out.











What I used:
Milani- "Twinkle"
Seche Vite (Top Coat)
Brucci Acrylic (Basecoat)
Nails Inc- "Chelsea"
China Glaze- "Four Leaf Clover"
OPI- "Be-Claus I Said So" (ornaments)














       

As usual there's the issue of properly trying to capture glitter on camera

In this up close shot you can see the purple glitter more clearly

Right hand


In other news my Bundle Monster case came!




Happy Polishing!

Let it Snow Let is Snow...


HAPPY DECEMBER! I truly love this season. The lights, the music the warmth and the SNOW! Well... there's no snow yet but hopefully my gradient attempt can inspire mother nature. :)
















Here's what I used: 




I was trying to do a bit of a snow effect to jump start my Christmas nail chain using the gradient effect from The Nailasaurus. Also, because I wanted my base to be dark I used Konad nail stamping polish as  the lighter blue so it would be opaque enough.

Thanks for your time!
