Holiday Mani #1

Shade

Hey all!  Tonight I have a Christmas mani, hopefully the first of a few holiday manis but we shall see.  I started with a base of Zoya Trixie then added dots using Zoya Elisa and SinfulColors Pine Away.  For my accent nail I used Julie G Mistletoe, a textured polish from their Gumdrop line, and tape.  Then added a few colored dots to be ornaments.  I got a little impatient with my topcoat though and smeared some of the dots.

I hope you're all having a great night.  I'd love to see your holiday manis.  Feel free to drop them by my facebook page.  Until next time...

Sonnetarium Peppermint Kiss

Sun 

Hello lacquer lovers!  I have another Sonnetarium polish for you today.  This is Peppermint Kiss from the winter collection.  Peppermint Kiss is a slightly pink, milky jelly with several sizes of red, white and green glitter.  I didn't want to layer this and lose the squishy jellyness so this is three coats.  Like most jellys it was a tad streaky at first but built up really well.  This polish is packed with glitter.  I mean seriously packed full of glitter.

I got a ton of compliments on this at work tonight.  It really is stunning.  I'm sure it's going to be terrible to take off but I'll just have to pull out the foil.  If you'd like to check out Sonnetarium polishes click here to go to their shop.  Be sure to check out the Charity Prototype section.  I got two in the mail today and they are outstanding.

Until next time,  have a great night.

Zoya Logan & A Christmas Tree

Shade

Hi everyone!  Today I have a polish for you that I was on the fence about for a while.  I just wasn't sure if I needed it based on the online swatches I looked at.  I could not have been more wrong.  Zoya Logan is amazing.  My camera completely freaked out in the sun taking pictures of this mani.  Couldn't handle all the sparkle.  This is two coats of Logan.  The formula was outstanding.  Really, really easy to apply.  I decided to attempt a Christmas tree accent nail.  I don't remember where I saw this done first, but I've seen it all over everywhere lately.  The base of my accent nail is Zoya Ziv, another amazing formula.  Two coats gave perfect coverage.  To make the tree I used scotch tape to make the straight lines on the sides and striping tape for the other lines.  I used my dotting tool with Zoya Suri and Elisa to finish is off.

I don't do much nail art because I pretty much stink at it.  I'm okay with being a swatch only type of blog.  However I was really excited when this mani worked out just like I thought it would.  Have you done any Christmas manis yet?  Feel free to share them with me over on my facebook page.

Until next time...
