Happy New Years plus my first stamping mani!

I wanted to try stamping as their was this awesome star image that I thought would go perfectly with a new polish I got for Christmas. The image was pretty small so it did not cover most of my nails and this is only my first time (ever!) that I used a stamping image plate. I keep looking at my nails, they are so cute! 

 I think it is very cute for my first time. (obviously I still need to practice) In these next pictures I tried to capture the holo in the silver nail polish .

 

I used Ulta Snow White and Finger Paints Meet Me At The Met.

                                Whishing you a safe and happy New Years,

Winter Wonderland

Although where I live it has been warm, (rare!) I wanted to share with you today two of the  manicures I did that did not make it into the Christmas challenge. The first one is a "snowman" theme.

 

The blue nail polish that I used was supposed to be a glitter topper so the nail polish is a little thin. 

The next one  is a snowflake design-

I love the dark blue, this was one of the first nail polishes I used from the brand ZOYA and I am very pleased with the quality of the polish.   

                                                                       Happy new year!,

Christmas In My Country

Merry Christmas!, I can't believe that this is the last day of the Christmas challenge, and that I made it through the whole challenge.  I didn't really have any idea as to what I was going to so I looked up on  Google "Christmas in the us"  and all the pictures were of lights so I chose to paint a string of lights across my nails. 
 
Happy Holidays,

Christmas Movie

Only about 3 days till Christmas can you believe it?  All I have left is to wrap gifts.  I have been busy making cookies (and eating them) and finishing last minute Christmas shopping.  For this Christmas challenge I decided to recreate the costume that Buddy the Elf in the movie Elf wore. I think it turned out pretty  good. I painted this a couple of days ago so it does have some chips in it but I will most likely take it off    tomorrow anyway. As soon as my family has received their presents I will hopefully show you what I have been up to lately. 
Merry- Almost Christmas,

Gifts/presents

     The challenge for today is gifts/presents. I wanted to create gifts on my nails, this is how they turned out. I wasn't able to take a picture of them until three days after I painted them so they do show signs of wear. 
I used-

1. Salon Perfect- Gold Sparkle
2. Ulta- Non-stop Red 
3. Revlon Fast Dry- Emerald

Wishing you a happy holidays,

Christmas Food/candy

 For this challenge I wanted to do a candy cane/ peppermint manicure. I wanted to tryst water marbling for the first time which ended up a huge disaster. (The nail polish spread all over the bowl making a plastic-like substance that got all over my nails.) I had gotten a new white nail art polish from the dollar tree and my plan B formed. 
 I used  

1. Milani Nail Art- White Canvas
2. Ulta Non-Stop Red 

Hope you like it!,

Inspired By Christmas Colors

 Sorry this is two days late, I was painting and it got all over my nails and it wouldn't come out so I had to wait and redo it until I was done painting. Here it is! I really like how it turned out. 
 I used

1. NYC Demon
2. Revlon Dry Fast Emerald

I think my pictures turned out better since I used natural light (note to self: use natural light if possible)
See ya,
