Holiday Mani Wrap Up: Snowflakes

Happy Saturday! 

This is my 500th post! That's quite the milestone, I think! :D

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. We got snow today! Not a lot, just enough to dust the ground...but it's pretty anyway. :)

I am showing you the last of the holiday manis I wore this past week. I actually wore this one for Christmas Day. Dustin got me Butter London Scuppered as an early present (my first BL!) so that was the base for this mani. Hit Polish Noel went unexpectedly well with Scuppered, so I used that as an accent. Dustin stamped on the snowflakes and the rhinestones just tie it all together so well!

I also wanted to share a mani done by Dustin for my sister! He stamped snowflakes using some Color Club metallics and used Jordana Lunar Lights to add to the effect. I really love how this looks! I love that my husband knows how to make cute nail designs and execute them perfectly. :)

What do you think of these manis?

My Thanksgiving Mani!

Good morning!

Just a quick post to show you what I wore on my nails for Thanksgiving. A little late but that's ok! :) I did this mani sitting on the couch with my 2 year old jumping all over the place so that said, I'm quite happy with how the whole thing turned out. haha 

I did a sponging gradient with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Bronze Ablaze and Quick Brick and topped it off with Autumn Harvest from Hit Polish. My accent nail is a feather...I should have doubled up on topcoat because it's looking a little dull.

Overall, I think it looks cute. :)

Fall Nail Art ft. China Glaze Life Preserver

Hi readers!

It's getting closer to Thanksgiving and I have some cute nail art to celebrate. I really love this design. Everything came together so well!

The base is China Glaze Life Preserver (PERFECT fall shade!) and the accent nail has Sweet Potato Souffle from Hit Polish as a gradient at the tips. The colors used for stamping are Essie Good As Gold  and Sally Hansen Insta Dry Coco-a-Go-Go.

Are you guys planning on sporting a fall mani for Thanksgiving? 

Hit Polish Shockwave

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have plans for a relaxing weekend!

I have another polish from one of my favorite indie brands to show you today. This is Shockwave from Hit Polish. I believe that this was discontinued but then brought back again because of demand. I'm glad it was because I would hate to show you a polish that you couldn't get your hands on!

I layered 1 coat over China Glaze Elephant Walk. This combo is perfect! Shockwave has an awesome formula: no digging for glitter and everything placed just right on its own. This is a very eye catching polish...love it! I also layered 1 coat of Gelous over this before my topcoat and this baby was so smooth and glassy. I get too lazy to do an extra step all the time when doing my nails, but this is sooo worth it when you want your glitter polish to really look amazing.

I love all the tiny bars in here!

Are you guys loving this polish as much as I am?
