Holiday Nails

 so the holidays and my new years eve bash planning has been completely swamping me, i just wanted to hop on here and do a super quick post on my nail looks over the past two weeks. 

for this manicure i did a silver and gold ombre holiday nail. i used Sally Hansons Xtreme Wear Polish in Celeb City.
then i concentrated Sephora by OPI's Looks Like Rain, Dear towards the tip of my nail and tried to sheer it down towards the middle.for some reason the camera didnt pick up the ombre effect as well as it looks like it person. it seems that there is a harsh line between the silver and gold - but there isnt.
then, for added sparkle chunkage, i put a coat of Sephora by OPI's Only Gold For Me over Looks Like Rain, Dear.

next look i went for was the chirstmas lights manicure!!! **please excuse my HORRIFIC cuticles, between the cold air, hand sanitizer, and acetone...they are taking a beating -- if any one has any suggestions, let me know! im constantly using hand lotion.**
i first used Sephora by OPI's Havana Dreams and then i took a white polish and scraped as much polish off the brush as possible. then i literally patted the tips of my nails with the white to create the effect of snow. 

 then i just whipped out my nail art polish wands and there you go! christmas lights*

i hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!!! i cant believe the time has flown by so fast!!

Tis the Season for Sparkly Nails!

 Sephora By OPI Charge It and China Glaze Party Hearty
 i love the holidays, and part of what makes this season so fun is all the awesome and exciting manicures you can create!!! although i have many crazy nail design ideas for the up coming weeks, i wanted to start off with something a little more simple but still pretty badass and holly jolly.
 i started with two coats of Sephora by OPI's Charge It, which is a true metallic gold with no shimmer or glitter.
then i added one coat of China Glaze's Party Hearty, which is a glitter polish with large red flecks, medium sized green flecks, and tiny silver sparkles. SPREADING SOME HOLIDAY CHEER ONE NAIL AT A TIME!!!

I hope you all are enjoying the season and arent going crazy with your holiday shopping!!
