Frozen

My littlest dude is incredibly obsessed with Elsa and everything Frozen. He watches YouTube videos every day. He sings and dances while pretending to be Elsa. So, I had to create these pretty Frozen Elsa nails to show him.

Zoya Matte Velvet

Zoya has brought back their popular Matte Velvet line! As soon as they were released, I called Ulta to make sure it was in stock and bought 3 of the 6 colors. I'm hoping for a sale or promotion so I can order the rest from this collection. 
The Zoya matte velvet nail polishes are not meant to be long lasting like regular nail polish. You'll get tip wear and chipping much quicker than usual.

Christmas Tree

4 new polishes to play with!

Maybelline Color Show Brocades in Emerald Elegance is a gorgeous glitter emerald. 2 coats for opaque color. Really pretty and perfect for my Christmas tree nail art. 
Maybelline Color Show Brocades in Gilded Rose has gold fine glitter with larger pieces of pink glitter. 2 coats for opaque color. 
Revlon Parfumerie in Wintermint is a scented polish. After your polish is dry, it smells like mint candy. It is light green with green glitter. 2-3 coats for opaque color.
Sinful Colors in Gogo Girl is the perfect creamy red. This is my first Sinful Color nail polish and I can't believe how great their formula is. Almost opaque in 1 coat. 

Pinky and thumb has 2 coats of Sinful Colors in Gogo Girl and Maybelline Color Show in Gilded Rose for glittery tips. 
Ring has 2 coats of Sinful Colors in Gogo Girl. Christmas tree is Maybelline Color Show in Emerald Elegance, Maybelline Color Show in Gilded Rose, and Nicole O.P.I in Always A Silver Lining. 
Middle and index has 2 coats of Revlon Parfumerie In Wintermint. 2 dots of Sinful Colors Gogo Girl.

Snowflakes... again

The best time to practice nail art is right before you remove your old polish. In this case, I liked it so much I decided to keep it for a little while longer. 
I recently purchased a pack of Winstonia brushes (available at Amazon) and what a difference! 
For colors and info please check my previous post.

Here I applied 2 coats of Berry Sweet from Nicole O.P.I for my pinky, middle, and index fingers.

For my ring finger and thumb I applied 2 coats of Mer-Maid For Each Other from Nicole O.P.I.

Messy Snowflakes Cute Penguin

December is here! Get ready for lots of winter themed nails this month.

I really messed up these snowflakes. I thought I could finish it nicely before my littlest one woke up from his nap. Right after I finished my cute penguins, the little guy woke up. Lesson learned - no nail art until the boys go to bed at night.
My penguins have 1 base coat of Licorice from Essie. 2 coats of Blanc from Essie for it's tummy. Dotting tool to make the beak and feet using Sunkissed from Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear.
2 coats of Bikini So Teeny from Essie and 1 coat of Disco Ball from Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear for my snowflake's backdrop. Blanc from Essie to make my messy snowflakes.
