Hello, Another day another mani for the Advent Calendar Challenge, I am actually loving every second of it, who doesn't like to try out holiday manicures every day? I must have pulled out every green polish I own in search for the perfect shade till I ran into China Glaze Glittering Garland, once I put it on I couldn't believe this beauty has been sitting on my nail polish rack since last year and I haven't even glanced at it. Glittering Garland is a dark green almost black base with tons of green micro flakies that shine all over your nails like the lights on a Christmas tree. Once I had it on I wanted to add and extra shine so I added a coat of a Flakie green Forever 21 nail polish, the label only says Lime. Don't you just hate that they make some really pretty polishes but the names are just lame? Also I added a stamp on my ring finger using my Bundle Monster BM14 plate. Can't get more Christmas-y than this, right?

Thanks for reading <3 Hello! I have just a simple mani for today, a little red and silver to start getting in the holiday spirit and the Christmas manis :D For this I used China Glaze The Ten Man as base and China Glaze in Winter Berry and Hey Sailor for the stamp using the Bundle Monster 215 plate. Take a look: I used two different tones of red for the stamp but you can barely tell, this second picture gives you the idea of it thanks to the bad lighting haha. I like how it turned out I only wished the difference in the reds were more noticeable. What do you think?
Thanks for reading <3 Hello! Today's post has a brand new polish (for me). I got this beauty on Black Friday cause my local store had everything 40% off and I couldn't resist. This polish has a sapphire blue base, slightly frosted with small square silver glitter. I was hoping the glitter would be more noticeable but still it's a gorgeous polish. Check it out: I totally love this color for the holidays, I'll probably be using it for some nail art later on.
Did you get any new polish on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Thanks for reading <3 Hello! I have my first fall/thanksgiving nail art today. I used Sally Hansen Lava as the base color and then stamped the leaves with China Glaze Passion. I absolutely love how it turned out, the colors all compliment each other really well and after I painted my nails I couldn't stop staring at my fingers. I don't exactly remember the number of plate I used for the leaves but as soon as I do I'll update this post. Update: the plate I used is Konad M83.
Thanks for reading <3 Hey ladies, It's been a really long time since I blogged and I really miss it and I miss you so I'm gonna try to get back on the blogging horse. So in this time that I've been away I kept painting my nails and trying to take pictures and that's what I'm gonna share with you in the upcoming days. For today I have a mani that I loved. It's purple with gold stars (What's not to like?) For the base color I'm using Milani Purple Pop Art, in my ring finger I have a coat of Essie Shine of Times, hence the flakies and both star designs were stamped with China Glaze Passion and Cheeky plates. Check it out: I was seriously in love with this design I didn't want to remove it. Do you like this combo?
Thanks for reading <3 Hi, Today I have my first China Glaze Prismatic glitter on the blog. When I heard about these polishes I knew I had to get them all (which I did) and even tho they didn't live up to the hype I'm still glad I got them. The first one I tried is Full Spectrum. It's a pinkish, lavander polish with tons of hexagonal glitter in every color possible. I know these are supposed to be duo-chromes but usually you only the the color difference depending on the lighting. This one shifted from pink, to lavander to silver but. Check out the pics. On the pic above you can see how the polish looks almost like a silver glitter. This last pic was taken in the shade and the polish here looks more purpley than in direct sunlight. Bottom line the polish does shift color but you will see only one color at a time not like with regular duo chromes that you see the degrading of the colors in your nails.
If you wanna pick up this shade you can get it at Victoriasnailsupply.com for $3.50 (Where I got mine) What do you think? Did you get any of the prismatic glitters? Thanks for reading <3 Hey everyone! I have a pretty mani to show you today. I finally got my hands on the Cheeky Stamping plates from amazon yay! The designs in this set are super pretty. For my first mani using them I chose this crazy lines design from the plate CH 16. As base color I used China Glaze Kinetic Candy which was a nightmare to apply, then I stamped the first set of lines using CG Beauty and the Beach and the second set of lines with CG Rodeo Fanatic. Check it out: I wore this for 3 days and then took the pics so you might see a little tip wear in the pics.
What do you think? Did you get the chance to order the Cheeky plates on Amazon? Thank you for reading <3 Hi ladies! It's Sunday already and I have something to brighten up your day since most of you go back to work tomorrow. I was talking to Nicole @MyNailsMyPolish all week about the holo Milani polishes she got and I felt like wearing some holo polish myself. I chose Kleancolor Green Holo but I wanted something more out there. I added a couple of coats of Kleancolor Chunky Holo Clover and that did the trick. It looks a thousand times better because the green is more intense and also you get the micro holo glitter plus the orange shine from the chunky holo. Check it out: A couple of pics indoors to actually show the holo beauty in this polishes. A macro shot of how all the layering looked on my nails, isn't it a fun mix? And just for fun I was wondering how it would look with a coat of China Glaze Crushed Candy Crakle so here you go. I think I'm gonna start layering my Kleancolor Holos more often since I'm in love with the effect.
What do you think? What is your favorite layering combo? Thank you for reading <3 Hey ladies! It's Monday again and I was not ready to go back to work but here I am. For today I have another Valentine's Day manicure :) For this one I used Nicole by OPI in You're an Angel as base color, then I stamped a few patterns using a white polish. For the hearts I used some heart stickers, just the regular ones you use for scrap booking and crafts and then I painted on top with China Glaze Bing Cherry. Check it: This last pic looks more color accurate on how my nails were in real life. What do you think?
