Winter Challenge: Christmas Traditions- Ornaments!

Hi Monkeys, today's challenge theme is "Christmas Traditions" so I did tree ornaments! I tried out something new today.. my skills with a dotting tool. My ornament mani didn't quite turn out the way I had in my head but meh, I'll take it. I started with a base of Essie No Place Like Chrome which is an amazing silver foil (also great for stamping). I used Zoya Sookie and Holly with Milani Black swift to dot on ornaments. I made their "hats" a little too big but the idea is really cute! Be sure to go vote on my nail art giveaway to be entered to win prizes!

Winter Challenge: Holiday Colors- dotticure!

Hi Monkeys, for today's Winter Challenge I did a Christmasy dotticure. I started with a base of SinfulColors Gold Medal, matted, followed by Zoya Holly and Rekha as dots joined with Essie No Place Like Chrome for silver dots. I am really liking this mani because of the matted gold polish... amazing.  It's a simple nail art idea to do for the holidays and looks like you've spent more time on it than you have.

Winter Challenge: Winter Nature


Today's theme for the Winter Challenge is "winter nature". I re-created a pin from Pinterest. Thhis mani is similar, I know you've seen it if you browse Pinterest for nail art .. she's holding a Starbucks holiday cup....
I started with two coats of  SinfulColors Red Eye (love this red metallic shimmer), then painted white hills, a tree and dotted some snow using OPI Alpine Snow (how appropriate). I dotted the top of the tree with Gold Medal from SinfulColors (this one's amazing to stamp with) and highlighted some areas with my favorite silver glitter- Sally Hansen's Celeb City. Simple mani, cute contrast. Be sure to peek at everyone else's manis after the jump !

Winter Challenge: White Christmas- Icicle Mani

Loving today's theme of White Christmas. I decided to do an icicle mani. I did two coats of OPI Unfor-greta-bly Blue which is a deep blue that has a hint of shimmer. I used OPI It's Frosty Outside which is a textured polish and applied it with an art brush. I saw a similar mani on Pinterest but it was upside down and a thin french tip. It looked upside down to me so this is my interpretation of it :) Enjoy!
