Holiday Mani-Madness Day 1

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first day of Holiday Mani-Madness.

Last year I ended up doing 10 different holiday themed manicures

throughout the month of December and I had a lot of fun doing it.

But this year I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of all month long I 

will be posting a different holiday manicure every day for the next five days (the 23rd to the 27th).

Each day is inspired by a different piece of holiday decor

and you will not know what they are until I post.

So! here we go with Day One:

Gold & Green Ornaments 

This look was inspired by some of my favourite ornaments from my Christmas Tree.

I decided to do a skittle manicure and then I added Zoya's Solange to do the upside down french.

Solange is just beautiful with topcoat. 

(From Index to Thumb)

Enchanted Polish - Electric Feel // Zoya - Logan // NYC - High Line Green

Revlon - Spanish Moss // Zoya - Hunter

I was really happy with how these turned out. Just enough glam.
Let me know what you think of the look!
& I will see you tomorrow for day 2.

Much love, D.

Mossy Turtle

Hey everyone!

The last few days have been really trying mentally and academically.
I've written two papers already and I still have two more 

that I need to write before the end of the month.
So this manicure was done as an escape from responsibility.

I used Revlon Colorstay - Spanish Moss as the base coat 

& then I used A England - Saint George for the stamp.

This was my third attempt at a manicure that day. 

The first two ideas were abandoned because they were just not working. 

So I let them be and decided on this later in the day.
I was really pleased with attempt 3.

& then the next day I accidentally ended up wearing a 

green sweater that went perfectly with my nails.
It made me feel like it was worth all the effort.
Best part: they remind me of a turtle's shell.

Anywho that's all for now.
Hopefully your week is less stressful than mine and that 

where ever you are there is sunshine making your day brighter.

Sweet Valentine

Hey everyone!

So for part 2 of my triple shot of love I decided to go sweet.

For me that means brighter colours and keeping it simple.

Scroll on down and tell me what you think.

To set the mood:

 For these nails I used Revlon - Mad About Mango, 

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Pink Blink, 

& Maybelline Color Show - Porcelain Party.

 

 My favourite part? The fact that I used a scented Revlon polish. 

I wouldn't say it smells exactly like mangos, 

more like super sugary candy that's mango flavoured. 

They smell awesome!! 

I wish there was a way I could demonstrate it to you. 

If you're interested in trying out the Revlons I would highly 

recommend it. I own 2 and they both have really great scents.

Right Hand.....

Left hand....

bottle comparison.

I feel like the scent really adds to the theme. Do you agree?
Feel free to comment!
Next post will be on Friday.
Enjoy your week!!

December Nails 2012 Theme 10: Water Marble

Hey Lovelies.

Remember when I left one theme open for you guys?
Well I decided to go with water marble and to see what I could do with it.
Personally I love the result. The colours really work nice together and I love that each finger is unique.

Let me know what you think!
