Last minute Christmas nails inspiration! 

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Hope everyone is ready for the Big Guy to come tonight! 

I’d thought I’d post the recent Christmas manicures I’ve been doing just in case you need some last minute inspiration for your nails while sitting under the tree tomorrow morning! All polish details can be found for these manicures on their original posts on my Instagram: @Coffeeandnailpolish.

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!

And so it begins… My first Christmas-y nails of the year. 

 It’s heeeeeeeere. 

Of course I’m talking about the Christmas (or insert whatever season Holiday you celebrate! 😁) season. The malls are filled with Santas as far as the eye could see, so I thought it was about some I started some Christmas-y nails. 


The polishes I used for this manicure were:

  • OPI Just BeClaus
  • China Glaze Ruby Slippers
  • Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Lo
  • Born Pretty Store stamping plate (item #5695)
  • Seche Vite. 

It’s been a long time since I did any stamping and this was not an easy endeavour! It seriously took me about 8 tries before I was happy with how they turned out. (First world nail art problems for real!) But when I finally did get them right… I absolutely love how they turned out! Reminds me of pretty Christmas wrapping paper.

Matte Chevron Moons

What are your favourite Fall colours? For me I tend to reach towards your Navy blues, deep maroons and dark purples. And matte top coat! Ohhhhh I’m so Matte obsessed right now. 

It had been a while since I’d worn any kind of moon manicure–my favourite go to when lacking inspiration–so I decided on a pretty combination of some Fall beauties.  

   

The polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Nicole by OPI Shoot for the Maroon
  • Essie After School Boy Blazer
  • Stripe Rite  Striper in Gold 
  • Seche Vite 
  • L’oreal The Matte Velvet matte top coat. 

Shoot for the Maroon was a recent buy (the husband picked it out) and holy amazingness when Matte! It’s pretty normally but add some Matte top coat and it’s a whole other level! I love it! 

  

  
Also I can’t stop obsessing about Essie After School Boy Blazer–it is by far my favourite Navy. I need to try it out with my ACO by Ardene Crystal Fog because I think the combination would be incredible!

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! 💗
