Bestie Twin Christmas Nails with @mynailpolish_addiction

  
It’s all about Christmas on my nails lately, and I was lucky enough to get to team up with Jessica from @mynailpolish_addiction! We went with a mani originally by @cocoasnailss. 

   

The Polishes used for my mani were:

  • China Glaze For Audrey 
  • OPI Pink-ing Of You
  • Essie Tuck It In My Tux
  • Sally Hansen I Love Nail Art Pen in White 
  • QUO by ORLY Nail Art Striper in Red. 
  • Essie Good to Go

 
You can check out Jessica’s page for a tutorial on how she created her version of this mani!

I just love the combo of the blue with the polka dots then the Candy Canes. I’m having fun coming up with new Christmas designs this year!

Christmas is quickly approaching and Christmas morning is only 10 days away. I’ve been on a Chrisymas mani kick the last couple days, so I thought I would share a few manis for Christmas inspiration. Let me know if you want any information on the polishes used–all details can also be found on my Instagram page!

Polka Dot and Herringbone nails inspired by @thebasecoat. 

 I gave another pretty manicure to share inspired by one of my fellow nail artists in Instagram: @thebasecoat. She posted this herringbone and polka dot manicure a few weeks back and I thought it was so adorable I really wanted to recreate it! 

  
The polishes I used for this manicure were: 

  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Gunmetal
  • QUO by ORLY Striper in White 
  • China Glaze Rain Dance the Night Away.
  • Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (original formula) 
  • Seche Vite 

   
What do you think of this mani? I got a ton of compliments at work when I wore it! 

I’m still getting used to my short nails but trying to make them feel pretty as much as possible!

Subtle Dotticure. 

Good morning fabulous people and happy Friday! Today I have a subtle dotticure featuring a couple more Essie favourites. 

I picked up Frock N’Roll from the Essie  Fall 2015 collection the other week. I hadn’t worn it yet, so when I finally put it on I was trying to figure out what to pair this gorgeous polish! You can never go wrong with a dotticure, so I grabbed Essie Coat Couture and a small dotting took and created this vampy Fall look. 

  
 
I love how this looks. From fall away it just looks like dark nails, but when you get up close you see the lighter grey dots. Coat Couture just goes so well with Frock N’Roll–I love it! 

   
 
I’m all about the Dark Fall colours. I want them all! I thought I would be more drawn towards Essie Bell Bottom Blues from the fall collection but nope! This is the real winner. 😍 what do you think? Have you found this beauty yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! 💗

Floral nails Inspired by @just1nail and @wonderouslypolished

I just love floral. It’s kind of verging on obsession. 

 I saw this manicure on Instagram by @just1nail (who was originally inspired by @wonderouslypolished) and thought it would be the perfect floral for Fall. So naturally that meant that it needed to be recreated! 
  
The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • OPI Just Be-Claus
  • OPI I Canolli Wear OPI 
  • Essie After School Boy Blazer
  • Essie Where’s My Chauffeur!
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow (original formula)
  • Quo by ORLY Striper in White. 
  • Seche Vite

I went with a darker blue (Essie After School Boy Blazer) for a more Fall toned manicure…. and I love them! Also I have rarely been wearing red polish lately and now that fall is here that is definitely about to change! This was my first time wearing Just Be-Claus since I picked it up, and it’s such a pretty berry red! 

 
Let me know what you think of this mani in the comments below, and I hope you have a fabulous Monday!
