NAILLINKUP - Oh Christmas Tree

Hi, guys and Merry Christmas! Today I have another Nail Art Ideas Linkup (N.A.I.L.) mani and the theme is Oh Christmas Tree!


My inspiration was this mani by Marine of Marine Loves Polish. Her nail art is always amazing and I love her black, white, and silver version of this!


On my index and pinky fingers I used OPI Red Fingers & Mistletoes. The glitter on my middle finger is Philly Loves Lacquer Tinsel: Not Just for Decoration. On my ring finger I applied Pahlish Ghost in my Lungs and then stamped with M Polish Bells using the abstract Christmas tree image from the Cheeky Happy Holidays plate.


I'm somewhat bummed with the stamping because you can't really see it that well, but I'm really happy with the combination of colors and the overall holiday look and feel that this has.


One last slightly blurry picture because I really, really love this glitter.  :)

Thanks a lot for looking and I hope you have a very happy holiday! Please be sure to check out the other Christmas Tree manis, too!

NAILLINKUP - Let it Sparkle!

Hi, guys! Today I have another mani for one of this month's Nail Art Ideas Linkup (N.A.I.L.) themes - Let it Sparkle!


For this mani, I was really excited to use Ever After Polish Twinkle All the Way. I wore it by itself on my middle and ring fingers, and I applied one pretty generous coat (because I wanted to get some of those larger red glitters) over Scofflaw Nail Varnish Coniferous on my index and pinky.

I really loved wearing this mani throughout the week. It's pretty simple, but it felt very Christmas-y and very sparkly!

Thanks so much for looking! Be sure to check out the other sparkly manis, too!

Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Hi, guys! Quick post tonight of my Ugly Christmas Sweater nails.


My base polish is Stardust Polish Yes Your Majesty. I stamped with Rica Whiteout using different images from the one and only MoYou Festive Collection 06 plate. Both of these polishes were amazing to work with and I am really happy with the final look. The only challenge was getting these little suckers straight and not looking too terribly wonky!

Thanks for reading!

Hi, guys! Nail Art Ideas Linkup (N.A.I.L.) is back - YAY!!! The first theme for December is Pink Christmas.


I chose to do a delicate snowflake mani using piCture pOlish Bardot for my base. I stamped with China Glaze Check Out the Silver Fox using an image from the Cheeky Happy Holidays plate. I'm so happy with how these turned out!

I can't wait for the rest of this month's themes. Thanks for looking and be sure to check out the other Pink Christmas manis, too!

Autumn Leaves Stamping

Hi, guys! Another quick post from me today with a recent stamping mani that I did. I just had to do some fall leaves before the end of the season!  :)


For my base color I applied Duh Nail Polish Leaves Dancing in the Breeze. I just love this polish! No problem getting the right assortment of glitters on the nail and it has such a pretty shimmer. I'm also a complete sucker for square glitters! I stamped with Barry M Foil Effects Gold using an image from plate MJ XLV, available from My Online Shop.

Thanks a lot for reading. As Bill Belichick would say - we're on to winter!

Fall Glitter Gradient

Hi, guys! I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving here in the US. We enjoyed the holiday with some good friends and definitely ate (and drank) too much!


For my Thanksgiving mani I did a fall glitter gradient using Nine Zero Lacquer Pumpkin Everything as my base color. I then applied Girlosity Cosmetics Turning Leaves at my cuticles for the gradient. I absolutely loved both polishes and I thought they worked very well in this combination.

Thanks so much for looking!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black & White

Hi, guys! This weeks prompt for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge is Black & White and my assigned pattern prompt this time around was stamping.


I struggled so hard with this mani - I think I'm just really out of practice with stamping. This was my third attempt and I finally called it good. I started with a base of Sinful Colors Whiteboard. Then I stamped an image from plate Pueen49 using black stamping polish from Born Pretty.

Overall I think it looks pretty cool - I really love the simplicity of black & white nails.

Thanks so much for looking and be sure to check out all of the other black & white manis, too!
