Christmas challenge Gingerbread

Hi friends!  I was not going to do a blog post for Gingerbread men because I didn't like how they turned out but they were a big hit over on Instagram. I have the best most supportive followers.

 I don't really have a true gingerbread color for polish.  Darker deeper browns look best on me so I used coffee by Sinful Colors for the little guy.  The red is obvious with the bottle.  China Flower is beautiful and I love it in the bottle.  I just do not think it is for me as the main color.  The green is also from Revlon.  It is lime basil which I love!  It was not so smart to use two different scent polishes. lime Basil was sitting right there so I didn't even tho k about using it.  The White is Sally Hansen White on.  I am really enjoying our Christmas challenge!  Happy polishing!!

Christmas Challenge Christmas Lights

Today is the third theme on our little Christmas no rules challenge list.  Christmas lights are always fun!  I have already seen many strand of lights manicures going on and they are adorable!  I wanted to try to make mine a little different and go with nontraditional colors again and do one big Christmas bulb but maybe it looks like an ornament instead???

The base is White on from Sally Hansen and I went with a new to my collection Funky Fingers in Lady Charlotte which was supposed to be sort of twinkling lights.  The bulb is Sinful Shine in slick which, looks very purple in the bottle but this sponged in bulb over  white is looking very blue or blurple. The gold on the bulb is Funky Fingers Golden Grace. I added a matte topcoat over the ring finger which made it kinda frosty.  Even though this was not where I was going exactly I am really happy with how it turned out.  Lots of girls are doing this challenge on Instagram so be sure to search the tag #xmasnorules to see some more cute manicures! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!!

Mani Monday Snowman

Happy Mani Monday friends!  This week the theme is snowman.  I love snow people.  They  take over my house once the decorations go up for Christmas and some get to hang out all winter!!  

Here are my nontraditional snowman lady nails!  I have a fuzzy sweater that is a soft purple and it may be silly but if I can I like to match my manis if I can, so I decided to try some soft girly snowman nails. 

I used Sally Hansen Hard as nails in No Hard Feelings for the purple nail and polka dots.  The light blue base is Sally Hansen x-treme wear in Breezy Blue.  The glitter is Loaded Lacquers North of the Arctic Circle.  The snowman is White On  from Sally Hansen 

x-treme wear.  Be sure to check out the other Mani Monday girls and their snowmen nails on facebook! Thank you for stopping by and Happy polishing!  

Christmas challange Snow

Better late than never!  I got these done on time and up on Instagram but neglected to put up a blog post.  I love snow!  In general I like cool crisp weather and add a beautiful blanket of glistening frosty snow and I'm thrilled!  I know it can be a pain but for me the beauty and crisp clean scenery outweighs that. 

This is Loaded Lacquer 40 below over Funky Fingers Galactic Blue and Ruby wing Moonstone.  I added loose glitter snow flakes and a matte topcoat.  Thanks for stopping by and Happy polishing!!
