Christmas NOTD: peppermint nails

I'm such a terrible blogger! I guess I just haven't felt very inspired lately. I'm not to proud of these..I really wanted to to a swirly peppermint water marble but I just couldn't get what I wanted, so I just started randomly marbling. Some looks better than others so bare with me..


I did this one first..my index, middle, and ring turned out very much white + red..and the rest started looking more like those cinnamon peppermints...pink, red, and white! haha..

Sometimes I liked these...sometimes I hated them...Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm not dead.. I should have another post up sometime today. One that I actually like!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

Holiday Nails: Candy Canes

Hey guys and dolls!
I'm baaaack! And I come bearing a single holiday mani. Sorry for the serious lack of updates. It's not always easy to make time for elaborate mani's during school, especially at the end of the semester - lots of Insta-dri and glitter is involved! So I'll try to get a few posted before I go back! I didn't think this would turn out as well as it did..but I'm actually really happy with it. I'm kind of in love..

What I used:
China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses as a base
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White Out for the whites of the candy canes
Isa Dora True Red (I think) for the stripes, with
China Glaze Ruby Slippers over the Isa Dora to add some sparkle to the red







I really dig this mani... hope you all do too!

xo,
B
