12 DOC Challenge: Day 5

Hey Ladies!

So I am 2 days late on this one. I am soooo sorry!! I promise, in 2 weeks, when this semester is over and life calms down, I will be back on track...Thank you so much for being patient with me.

Anyway, the challenge for Friday was Snowman. Here is mine:


Look at my poor little nubbin of a ring finger nail. It got destroyed and I had to trim them all down to compensate :(

I used China Glaze Water You Waiting For from their Cirque du Solei collection for the base. GORGEOUS!!! Then I sponged and dotted on Snow Me White for the snow. And also used it for the snowman.


And here are the ladies who actually posted theirs on time:

12DOC Challenge: Day 4

Hello dears!

I am a day late on my day 4 nails. I was busy all day yesterday *trying* to do homework, but ultimately failing. Now I get to do exactly the same thing today.

Anyway, day 4 is Christmas Lights. I had some ideas in my head, a Pin I found and pinned on Pinterest almost a year ago, but that didn't pan out. This is what I came up with.


These are the other ladies participating in the challenge:

China Glaze: Champagne Kisses

Hello dears!

O my goodness I am blown away with the polish I am wearing right now. It is China Glaze Champagne Kisses and I think it is part of their holiday line. It is a gorgeous gold-bronze glitter-bomb with scattered holo glitters.

Take a look and prepare to have your breath taken away.


Beautiful isn't it? This is three coats alone.


I took a blurry photo to show the sparkle

This polish has completely blown me away. Have you ever had a polish take your breath away?

12DOC Challenge: Day 3

Hello lovelies!

Today is day 3 of the Christmas challenge.


Christmas movie...I struggled with this one for so long and I nearly just gave up and thought I was going to skip it.

Then Elf came on TV and I saw his hilarious green and yellow outfit he wears and I had my inspiration!


So incredibly simple, but I am just happy I was able to do this one. I used Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and Ulta Limelight.

Here are the other bloggers also doing the challenge.

12DOC Challenge: Day 2

Hello dears! I hope you checked out my giveaway going on in the previous post.

It is day 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge. Snowflakes!

I am so thrilled with this mani! I think it is my favorite one I have ever done. It turned out so wonderfully that people have asked if it was the stickers. (please dont think I am bragging. I am just really proud).


I used Orly Snowcone for the base and then Sinful Colors Snow Me White and a nameless stamping plate to stamp on the snowflakes.


I normally never ever show off my thumb but I am just so pleased :) Even my right hand turned out beautifully.

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge: Day 1

Hello ladies!! So it is almost December, but not quite. It definately seems like it here in Minnesota though. I think it was 19 degrees yesterday. Brrrr.....

I am starting a new challenge for December which I am really excited about. I like doing month long challenges because it keeps me on track for doing my nails and posting on the blog. But it also takes the guesswork out of what I should do on my nails (mostly).

This challenge was created by Nicole over at Dipped in Lacquer and started today.


So today, being day 1, is only red and green, I instantly thought Gradient!


I used Zoya Logan and Butter London Chancer to create this sparkly look.


I just love it! I think it is my favorite gradient I have ever done. I don't know how I will bring myself to take it off for Friday. Lol.
