GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Wreath 🌲

Hello lovelies & happy Christmas Eve Eve! Today we have another fun prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December — Wreath.

I can’t believe how quickly we’re speeding through these designs!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Red Carpet (one coat layered over China Glaze Slay Bells Ring)
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Essie Expressie Main Character Moment *
  • Color Club What’s The Matte-r
  • Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

    *pr/gifted

I had this idea about half moon wreaths with one big wreath accent. I think this is a cute & easy look you can get done easily. The bow on my big accent finger is a little wonky, but I still think they turned out really cute. The green pops on the red, & gives off big Christmas-y vibes.

What do you think about these wreath nails? Are they give big Christmas vibes? Let me know what you think? & don’t forget that you can see all the beautiful designs using the hashtag #glamnailschallengedec24 on Instagram.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Ornaments 🎄✨

Hello loves & happy Friday. It’s a busy Friday here, & Christmas is so close. It is also time for the next prompt of Glam Nails Challenge December which is ornaments. & I had the perfect nail art stickers from NailStuff to create this easy look!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

How cute are the holographic gold & white nail art stickers?! I chose a darker base shade so they would really pop against it & show off! & then used a thick & glossy top coat to seal them in best I could so no edges would be pulled. & I just think they look so beautiful — plus they were simple easy to do. & that holographic finish really catches people’s attention.

What do you think about this ornament nails (poised perfectly in front of my own decorated Christmas tree)? I do love a simple nail art look sometimes & there is nothing less time consuming than nail art stickers!

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Christmas Plaid

Hello loves & happy Monday! It’s a sunny albeit chilly Monday here. Definitely feeling like December — although a sprinkling of snow might have been nice. But today is the next prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December, & it is Christmas plaid.

I’m not 100% sure what a Christmas plaid is, though I would assume one done in your typical Christmas colours would make sense. So that’s what I did for today’s look! & they are certainly feeling Christmas-y.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Santee Magnetic Nail Polish Sandburst
  • Essie Bordeaux*
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • NailStuff Essentials White Dove *
  • Quo by Orly Black Striper
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • Largest size from NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

*PR/gifted

Ooooh I love how these look. I tried to give this magnetic shade a velvet finish. Honestly think I might have to invest in one of those fancy U-shaped magnets in the new year if I’m going to be playing with my magnet shades more frequently.

I love the hold with the plaid pattern over top, as opposed to using the gold as an accent.

What do you think about my Christmas plaid nails? Are you a fan of this look? Let me know all your thoughts on this look, & if it feels Christmas-y to you.

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Santa Claus 🎅

Hello lovelies & happy Friday! Today is exciting because it’s our second prompt of Glam Nails Challenge December!

Todays prompt is Santa Claus & I’m laughing at myself because I thought this look was totally a genius idea — turns out it’s exactly the same as the Santa Claus look I did last year (only with a bit more sparkle added!) I guess what they say is true — if it’s not broken, don’t fix it!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Good Cheer-y
  • NailStuff Essentials White Dove *
  • Essie Making Spirits Bright
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio 

*PR

Please excuse the red staining of the negative space part of my nails — a leftover from the pink polish in my previous post. But I love these regardless — even with the déjà vu of it all. I do think I’m more drawn to the shimmer & sparkle this year though. Just give it a little more Holiday Magic!

What do you think of my Santa nails for Glam Nails Challenge December? Don’t forget that you can follow along with all the designs this month with the hashtag #glamnailschallengedec24.

Happy Friday!

Hello loves & happy Wednesday! & happy first day of Glam Nails Challenge December! I couldn’t end this year without participating in this challenge, & I’m excited for the nail art looks to come (I always get so inspired by these challenges!)

The first prompt of our challenge is Jingle Bells 🔔, which was the perfect excuse for these cute nail art stickers I got last Christmas from NailStuff. I really wanted a fun look to start our designs this month, & I think I made it happen!

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Expressie Mic Drop-If-Low
  • Sinful Colours Pride

Do these not feel like a celebration to you? The bells are so cute, & the glitter from my glitter gradient sort of looks like confetti falling.

These are giving party nails for sure, which is the perfect manicure to start off our challenge this month! & there are so many fun looks to come for December. I’m really excited for all the prompts — hopefully they get me in a more festive mood.

What do you think of this look for my first prompt of Glam Nails Challenge December? Don’t forget that you can follow along with all the designs this month with the hashtag #glamnailschallengedec24.

It’s so hard to believe that we are in our last month of the year, or that Christmas is only 3 weeks away. 2024 has been a whirlwind.

Happy Wednesday
