Meowy Catmas nails

Happy Boxing Day everyone! Hope Santa was good to you. I’ve been enjoying family time the last couple days but I wanted to share the nails I did for a collab organized by @journailism on Instagram.  

 
You can check out the hashtag #xmascollab15 for all the girls who participated! The idea was to create a manicure that represented something you love most about the season. For my manicure, I decided to finally using some kitty vinyls I bought from @mynailsdid! This was the first Christmas I’ve spent with the hubbys fur babies so this manicure represented that! 

 
Polishes I used for this mani were:

  • Nails Inc The Thames
  • YSL Beauty Gris Underground
  • QUO by ORLY nail art striper in Red
  • Art Club Nail Art Duo in White
  • Small nail art brush from Born Pretty
  • Smallest size dotting tool. 
  • Essie Gel Setter top coat

Hope you’re having a great holiday, and enjoying you’re time with family and friends.

A little Christmas inspiration. 

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!

Easy glitter gradient featuring OPI Starlight collection. 

 Last month, I was lucky enough to to be sent some gorgeous OPI polishes by Preen.Me from the 2015 Holiday collection. If you follow my Instagram, you’ve probably seen a few designs I’ve posted using the six gorgeous polishes I was gifted with. Today I have another fun manicure using these pretty holiday polishes to share. 

  
 
The two polishes I used for this manicure were In The Moon for Love and Infrared-y to Party. To accomplish this look I started with a base of In the Moon for Love, and applied a coat of Seche Vite to speed up the drying process. Then, using the brush in Infrared-y to Party, I applied the beautiful glitters at the base of my nail, spreading some glitter upwards lightly. Let dry slightly, then seal everything in with your quick dry top coat and bam! You have pretty sparkly nails to love and enjoy.

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.

  • China Glaze Boho Blue
  • China Glaze X-Ta-Sea
  • QUO by ORLY striping polish.
