KBShimmer NOTD

*Purchased by me*

Hey all!  I found this mani from forever ago in my photo files.  I can't believe I forgot to share it.  I started off with a base of KBShimmer Turbulence.  It dries matte but I love it with topcoat.  After that was dry I used a chevron strip from Nail Vinyls and used KBShimmer I'd Rather Be With Blue.  These polishes were basically made to be worn together.

I hope you all really like this mani.  Have a great day!

Until next time...

New Year's Nails

Hello everyone!  Today for your viewing pleasure I have my New Year's nails.  Now since I suck at nail art and didn't have a ton of time I went pretty simple.  Almost too simple because the glitter curves were not visible in a lot of settings.  I used Essie Mesmerize as my base color.  Two nice even coats and it was perfect.  I think this polish just needed to age a bit because the first time I ever wore it the application was super streaky and uneven.  This time it was fabulous.  Then once that was dry I used french tip guides turned sideways to add some glitter sparkle in the form of Elevation Pitaraq.  I did two quick coats of Pitaraq and then topcoated it all.

I hope you all had a great New Year's!

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...
