New Year's Eve's Blingy Bomb

Let's try this again. Blogger wouldn't upload my photos last night.

Here was my festive NYE glitterbomb nails!

I used two very thin coats of China Glaze Icicle, one thin coat of China Glaze Blonde Bombshell. Then on top of that one thin coat of Wet N Wild Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night (black glitter) and finally finished it with Crowstoes Maxxed Out. Actually, the boyfriend got me my first two Crowstoes for the holidays and I have already worn both and loooooove them. I'll show you Her Goose Got Cooked later this week.

Super blingy. Super festive. I freaking love it.

Pure Ice Grunge from the Velour Collection

I wanted a quick mani before running out the door. Pure Ice Grunge from the new Velour collection was it. I just can't understand how a polish can be so amazing at under $2. I could not find this collection at the five Walmarts I went to so a kind friend picked up the ones I wanted the most. I did my mani and was out the door within ten minutes.

I then went to Sephora and added a coat of one of the SOPI Hollywood If I Could because, why not? I'm not normally a fan of bar glitter but I did love this and it is currently on clearance at Sephora (but wasn't in store) so I ended up getting it! Then while at Nordstrom, my eyes went to Deborah Lippman Boom Boom Pow and so I painted the tip with it (of course, I used the tester). I may need this one too! I took pictures on day two and well, with any velour/suede/matte, tip wear and chips happen faster.

I'll be back with my NYE mani later tonight!

Charlie Brown and Snoopy Christmas Nail Art

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! I actually went a different route for my holiday mani; in fact, there is barely any red and green in here! But this is what I am sporting today as I head to Mr. Ehmkay's to celebrate the holiday. I hope you love it as much as I do!

I quite enjoyed my Charlie Brown Halloween manicures here and here. So I felt I *needed* to do one for Christmas. What better than the cover of the Charlie Brown Christmas movie?

I started with a base of OPI I Don't Give a Rotterdam. I wanted it to evoke a dusty snowfall, just as the sun set. I then started with drawing Snoopy first and actually worked around him to make the proportions make sense. I zoomed in on the cover, only doing the the top part of the doghouse.

This is VERY picture heavy. I hope you love this as much as I do, and I still think it evokes holiday spirit. Merry Christmas!

So what do you think? Does it look like the cover of the movie?

Santa's Coming to Town! Santa and Candy Swirl Nail Art

I'm churning these out only because tomorrow I actually want to show you what I am wearing for Christmas! All these prior designs have been over the last week.

This one...I hated. I had started the art and then was in a rush to go out and boom, that's why my Rudolph went defunct. You can see a much better Rudolph here. They are easy to do, I just messed up my angles and then quit. I attempted to make candy swirls like I did here but in Christmas colors--I found out this process also cannot be rushed, whoops.

My Santa is the star of the show. So enjoy him!
