How beautifully chilly do these nails look? Are they not giving Elsa? They turned out exactly how I had pictured in my head, & I’m so happy about it. I just adore them!

If you pop on over to Instagram, you can view all the designs for this collaboration using the hashtag #icenailartmanicollab2025.

Even though things are about to get very very busy for me outside my nail life, I’m really excited for what is to come with this blog! I’m excited to continue to create fun nail art looks, & I hope you’re excited to see what I do!

Happy Friday

GLAM NAILS CHALLENGE DECEMBER (2024) — Christmas Tree 🎄

Hello lovelies & happy Thursday! & happy day after Christmas. I hope everyone who celebrates had a peaceful holiday, however they chose to spend it. I know this has been a hard year for so many, & so whatever peace you need, you’ve found it.

Today I have another prompt for Glam Nails Challenge December — Christmas Tree. & I wanted to turn my sparkly base into a tree, so I added some cute simple ornaments. & I think this look turned into perfection.

The polishes I used for this manicure are: 

  • Base Coat: NailStuff Essentials Base Coat *
  • Top Coat: Nail Stuff Essentials Quick Dry Top Coat *
  • Essie Off Tropic *
  • Icing Stores Under The Mistletoe
  • Essie (Un)Guilty Pleasures *
  • Essie Bikini So Teeny *
  • Essie Not A Phase *
  • Sally Hansen 5 Golden Blings
  • Nailstuff.ca Mermaid Tail 7mm liner brush
  • NailStuff.ca Dotting Tool Trio

I thought this was such a fun look. It kind of reminds me of the Andy Warhol Flowers painting/print, but with Christmas ornaments instead. A little Christmas twist & different from the Christmas tree looks I usually go for. Plus the green glittery polish is so beautiful! I didn’t realize how much glitter coverage it actually had. So pretty!

Again, merry Christmas. & happy Hanukah to those who are currently celebrating.

& don’t forget that you can see all the beautiful designs using the hashtag #glamnailschallengedec24 on Instagram. Only a few more prompts to go until this year is over!

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.
