A Quick Christmas Mani

Back to doing a holiday mani....a quick one I came up with.



Started with a base of two coats of Color Blast by Orly Raging Vine.  This is two coats; no topcoat.



Added NYX Girls Emerald Forest for some glitter french tips....for some reason, I'm kinda into these funky french glitter type of mani's right now....



Neither one of these has top coat on top.



Stamped with Konad white stamping polish using SdP 83.



Added a few red dots for the holly berries. 



(Topped with SV, which is the first pix.)

Just before I took it off, I had a recently received bottle of Lush Lacquer Ho Ho Holidays sitting out and thought I'd layer a coat on just to see how it looked.




Have a great weekend! 

Thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen: Festiveness Day 4

I got a couple new plates in the mail yesterday, which happen to be fulllll of holiday images, so I thought I'd try them out for Day 4 of the challenge.  Here's what I came up with.

Started with a base of three coats of Spa Ritual Marble; this pix has topcoat.  I had bought Marble as I was looking for a different white base other than my usual white creme...forgetting I already own Nicole By OPI It's All About The Glam!  Well, now I have two sparkle/shimmery whites to use as stamping bases!

Stamped using FUN green, red and blue metallic stamping polishes, using SdP 83 (ring), HD07 (middle), Nailways 0002 (pinky), Sugar Bubbles Special 01 (thumb) and SdP 59 (index).

Topped with SV (I applied a little too much on the middle finger and it wrinkled when it was wet but it did dry flat).

A pix of after it dried ....the middle finger wrinkles dried pretty well.  (This pix was taken a few hours after I had finished...and after I had broken the middle nail.)

Here's a couple pix of the Sugar Bubbles special plates.  Oodles of holiday images on them!

Sugar Bubbles can be found on Facebook here.

Here's the other ladies Day 4 mani's if you'd like to check them out...so much creativity in the group!

Thanks for looking!

NPC Challenge: Trim the Tree

This is the final week of Nail Polish Canada's Challenge; this weeks theme is Trim the Tree.  I decided on something simple...just some garland that would trim a Christmas tree.  Here's what I came up with.

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Bride's Bouquet. (No pix as I've shown it numerous times before). Added Orly Halo for some glitter interest.  This pix has no tc.

Stamped using Sally Hansen Jumpin' Jade using SdP 83.

Dotted in some holly berries using Konad red special polish. 

Topped with SV.
