Christmas Balls, Part Two

I have the sparkles just dying to be seen and I have to oblige them.  I thought I would try a different rendition of Christmas balls as a way to showcase the glitter.  Which as I have said before, I am obsessed with currently.  Inspiration of late has been hard to come by, but I do like the outcome of this manicure.

I painted three coats of Orly Winter Wonderland.  I then painted these five colors in ball formation on subsequent individual nails: Meet Me Under The Mistletoe, Zoya Sarah, Orly Glitz & Glamour, China Glaze Harmony, and Entourage.  In the same corresponding order, I added these glitters from LA Splash Cosmetics to the top of those balls: Onyx, Trickery, Golden Egg, Viola, and Immature.  I topped the balls with China Glaze Millennium and lined the balls lightly and finished the topper of the balls with Liquid Leather.  I finished with two coats of Seche Vite.

Christmas manicure: water decals

Hi,

First of all, I'd like to tell you that this is my 100th post. I'm so happy for it!

And now, let me show you a Christmas manicure.

I used a nail polish from BB Cream Boutique Dear Darling Bling Bling collection

which it's called RD010.

This is 2 coats without any top coat. It's a holo-glittery color and it's gorgeous.

Then, I applied some Christmas water decals from Born Pretty

To find out more about how to apply them, visit this page. There's a tutorial for them.

This is what I got:

Aren't they just pretty?

You can buy the Etude House nail polish from their website.

You can find the stickers I used here.

Gift Wrapped

I have invested in some great holiday polishes and want to use them as much as I can.  Thus, Christmas manicures are the feature from here until the holidays are over.  I am always open to ideas or challenges if you have any to give.  Today's manicure is very simple mostly because I have no energy after shoveling the crazy amount of snow we received this weekend.  I spent at least 4 hours this weekend shoveling and am so sore right now.  Even with all the work, I still enjoy the snow and chose to enjoy the shoveling, but I'm not asking for any more inches this season, I think 17 inches over the weekend was enough.   

I painted three coats of Orly Meet Me Under The Mistletoe.  The ribbon look is made with the following colors: Orly Glitz & Glamour, Zoya Lisa, China Glaze Cheers To You.  I topped the manicure with one coat of Seche Vite.

Covered in Diamonds peach

Hi!

Today I'll show you a franken I made in the Manglaze franken jug.

I won 2 jugs a long time ago from a giveaway hosted by Pimp my Nailz and

I decided to create a color I've always wanted to wear. I wanted it to be a a peachy color.

It's not really peachy, but it's close. I added white and a reddish orange in the jug.

Here's what I got:

After, I applied a coat of Covered in Diamonds from Color Club:

It is absolutely gorgeous!

Re-Gifting

This manicure was supposed to be slated for a Jersey Shore themed party I was going to be attending. Due to snow, wind and generally bad weather here in MN, the party was cancelled and now my manicure had been re-gifted as a glorious, snow day manicure. (or at least that's what I'm telling myself and you). So happy snow day! Enjoy the glitter and sparkle of the holiday season!!! Can you tell I've been obsessed with glitter/sparkle lately. Love!!!

Sparkle Shot!

I first painted one coat for a base of color in China Glaze Shocking Pink. I then put three coats of OPI Extra-Va-Vaganza on the base of my nail. I added two more coats of Shocking Pink to the tips. I added nail art glitter from LA Splash in Golden Egg to the center of my nail (for added dimension) and the tips of the pink. Sealed the sparkles with a coat of clear nail polish and a top coat of Seche Vite.

Christmas Balls

I no longer have this manicure on my fingers but have been busy (and lazy) and thus have not posted. Sorry. This manicure evolved from a straight "polka dot" design to adding the silver lines and making it look more like Christmas balls. So now it is classified as a Christmas manicure!

I painted three coats of China Glaze Sugar Plums. With a dotting tool, I used Cheers To You, OPI Extra-Va-Vaganza!, Glow Up Already!, and Orly Glitz & Glamour. Cheers To You is also what was used for the silver lines. Two coat of Seche Vite were painted on top.
