Most Festive Green?

Festive Green! that's today's theme... more from the 31 day Christmas challenge

 My most festive/christmasy green is Emerald City by Revlon. it's a Matte/Suede polish and the finish is beautiful! here's a little secret, this is the first time i've worn it, i got it for 99 cents on black friday. what up cheap nail polish!

i wasn't really sure if i should do any art with green.. or just green. but here's a quick swatch of Emerald City by itself, and then i added glitter...!!!

pretty pretty pretty. here is a rare glance at my right hand. the nails on my right hand are super long compared to my nubbins left hand. so i thought i'd show it off.

glitter gradient featuring Sinful Colors Nail Junkie. funny name for a nail polish. :/

double secret, this is the first time i've used Nail Junkie too. what the heeeeckkkkk... i quit counting my un-tried nail polishes. i know it's a high number, but i'm trying to use them! i am!

so that's day 9... Thanks for looking!

Snowflake sandwich!

Once again I'm doing today's challenge from the 31 days of christmas hullabaloo! 
Day 8 is snowflakes. Um, i sorta had high hopes for myself on this one since i just bought 6 sizes of dotting tools, and 5 new nail art brushes (yes! brushes that are actually for nail art instead of eyeliner, water colors or dog teeth brushing. okay i made that last one up.)


so lets see what i came up with! be prepared there are more layers than meet the eye.

What we have here is: SH insta dry Whirlwind White, Models Own Juicy Jules, Blush Blue, Barry M Blue Moon

Okay, here are the nails, i bet you're asking yourself, where did that holo glitter go!? it's between two layers of Blue Moon. sassy huh?

Now you're wondering, hmm that blush blue looks really dark, how does that fit in?

no? you weren't wondering that? well it's a super sheer polish, a jelly, if you will. and i layered it OVER the white snowflake art. it gave the art a subtle look. and i liked it!

the glitter sandwich gave it all a little bit of texture that looked pretty fun, sorta like snow clouds, with a hint of sparkle. 

blamo! there's my snowflake art. it was adorable while it lasted, but with all those layers, and a load of wet laundry in the washer calling my name, i took it off after i photographed it. so sad.

Candy Cane Time!

I'm doing my best to be a part of the Purple Crumpet  Fairy Challenge... that's a mouthful. it's called 31 days of Christmas. There is a list you follow, and you post new nail art every day, or corresponding art to whatever day it is. which is what i'm doing, and i've already missed 6 days! :O

today is candy cane day and here's what i did. i was totally and completely inspired by these, from chloe's nails.

I used SH Lavender Cloud, and Julep Brooklyn, and scotch tape cut into strips. also i used tweezers to take the tape off, and it was SO much easier than using your other hands finger nails (too dangerous!)

BTW, side note, that Julep polish dries ever so slightly  matte, you'd be surprised! 

Thanks for reading!
