Apple Nails!

I did these nails awhile ago, but I forgot to post them! Silly Brianna.  But these are apple nails, and I absolutely adored them.  They were so easy, but so cute at the same time.  I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and used Revlon Fire and a green that I can't remember.  Hope you enjoyed this delicious mani haha!

Christmas Nails!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! I tried to make these nails santa-y for the last day of the challenge, but I decided to do a random Christmas mani with a couple of santa-related nails. I used China Glaze Running in Circles for the green, The red is Sally Hansen Unbreakable Heart, and the White is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and also a black striper brush.  I also have my nails inspired by Cold December Night by Michael Buble, because I love them so much! Here's the Original Post






I hope you all have a great holiday! Merry Christmas!

12 Days of Christmas: Day 10- Inspired by a Christmas Song

 I actually did a gradient, but I forgot to take a picture, and it got all messed up in the morning.  It didn't look good enough for me to re-do it, so I just focused on the next item.  For a Christmas song, I wanted to do Cold December Night by Michael Buble.  I LOVE this song, it's one of my favorites for this time of year.  Here's a link to the song on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxjsJ-TU8LA.   I originally wanted to do ten different things on ten different nails, but I settled on just four.  The green is China Glaze Running in Circles, and I am in love with it, and I hate the color green, so that really shows how special this polish is.  The red is Sally Hansen Unbreakable Heart, and the White is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I love how my left hand came out! The lines I used were "Let's cozy on up by the fireplace, and dim those Christmas lights" which is the Christmas lights. "I'll wear you like a Christmas sweater" is the sweater design.  "The mistletoe says stand in line" which is maybe my favorite line of the song, I love it! And the last design is "A tree that smells of pine". 


I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did! This was so much fun! I'll definitely do more mani's like this in the future.

12 Days of Christmas: Day 7- Candy Cane

Who doesn't love candy canes? They are just a great holiday snack.  I love peppermint and sugar, so naturally I'm a huge fan of candy canes.  I painted my nails white, then added some striping tape and painted them red.  I really liked this, it was on my nails for a while it felt like, because I couldn't change my nails during finals, I was too busy studying.

12 Days of Christmas: Day Five- Snow

I skipped the holiday movie, one because it would take longer, and two because I couldn't really think of a good idea.  For my "snow" nails, I just used a pretty blue polish and added silver glitter to get the snow effect.  It's kind of cheating, but I was really busy and this was cute to have on my nails for awhile.

12 Days of Christmas: Day Three- Tape Mani

I'm finally done with finals! I have been doing some of the challenges, but I have been crazy busy with studying and writing papers and finishing schoolwork.  I only did some of the challenges, but now I should be back on track to finish.  I'm actually really excited to do the inspired by a christmas song, I have such a fun idea that I want to happen.  For the tape mani, I painted my nails white, then added red and green striping tape.  They REALLY annoyed me, so I peeled off the tape and it left a residue that looked really cool.

12 Days of Christmas: Day Two Penguin

Who doesn't love penguins? If you don't you should watch happy feet because that movie is adorable.  Today's theme was penguin nails, so I painted my nails black and then added a little white almost semi-circle, then added eyes and a beak and feet.   These were really easy, and I love how cute they look!

12 Days of Christmas: Day One Red and Green Only

Technically yesterday was the start of this challenge, and I did paint my nails, but I didn't have a chance to post this as I was super busy yesterday. I'm also having some difficulty uploading my pictures into blogger, and I'm trying to settle that issue. I'm really excited for this challenge, I have some super fun ideas! For this, I just painted my nails red and added one coat of a snowman glitter polish, and then another coat because I wanted it to be more sparkly.  I LOVE this look, it definitely got me into the Christmas spirit. The first pictures have one coat, the ones after the snowman have two.  Which do you like better?
