Last two holiday manicures.

I'm so behind on blogging! Lots going on here. We are moving to a new house in the next couple weeks so I won't be doing manicures with all the packing! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and happy new year!

Jingle bells, jingle bells...

For a Christmas party last weekend, I wanted to do another Christmas inspired manicure. I hadn't used the bells on one of my Monster plates, so I decided gold bells with red ribbons would be perfect for the night!

It's been a week since I blogged?

Oops! I better post these last few Christmas nails before Christmas is over!

Let it snow!

Happy Holly-days!

I wanted to use some more Christmas stamps from my Konad and I loved the holly berries. In my head, I saw a light green base with dark green holly and red berries so that's what I tried. The green on green didn't show up well and the berries looked black. Without removing that, I painted a white base so I could try a light green holly and that turned out so much better. Even the berries looked healthier!

Candy cane tips.

Still feeling in the Christmas spirit, I did these candy cane inspired tips for the weekend. They were cute and really easy to do free hand.

Tis the season!

For holiday nails!

I had gotten this red glitter polish, Finger Paints Santa Kisses, awhile back at Sally's. It's a great glitter but it took a lot to get a thick coat because I didn't use a base coat.

Then, using a toothpick that I had cut to make a flat end, I dotted on some white polish to make the puffy cotton parts and voila! A Santa hat. Very festive.

Rainbows and butterflies...

Minus the butterflies. I'll paint those later!


I decided to do a rainbow manicure after my last striping one. I liked the different colors and I figured I could add a couple more and just make it as close to a rainbow as I could get with only five colors.

I went with the colors shown - red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. I could have gotten a purple in there, too, but I like the different nails changing into the rainbow so I didn't have anywhere to add the purple.

This manicure turned out cute. I had a hard time getting equal sections of colors on my thumb, as you can see, but it didn't really ruin the rainbow effect for me. I still liked it!
