Day 17 - Glitter

LOVE GLITTER!! I had a hard time trying to figure out which glitter nail polish to use but I just bought this Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polish in Red Carpet. It's a gorgeous red with tiny glitter in it that makes the nail polish look like glass. Omg I love! I wish they had a million colors like this one. I figured I would make it a Christmas design too. I've been wanting to do a Christmas design and I thought this would be a good color to use. Here are the pics: 

 

Here is the link for the tutorial I got the idea from to do the bow: MissChievous Christmas Gift Wrap Nails For the rhinestone I used one of the Hello Kitty sticker decals that are sold at Sephora.

Day 12 - Stripes

The challenge for Day 12 is stripes. I just got the Victoria's Secret magazine in the mail and for the holidays they do a red and pink stripe design. On the first page was a picture of a pair of pajamas with this exact design (I tried to find a picture but I couldn't find one). My index finger came out the best but I think it's because I concentrated on that one the most. I was being a little lazy. These are girly & perfect for the holidays :) I used Milani Neon in Pink Hottie, Anise in Lady Dangerous, and Kiss Nail Art Paint in silver.

Day 11 - Polka Dots

For this challenge I was inspired by Minnie Mouse! When I heard polka dots she was the first thing I thought of. I loved Minnie Mouse when I was little. I had a stuffed animal of her and I never put it down! For the red I used Anise (I don't know if anyone has ever heard of that brand but they sell it at Annie Sez and I absolutely love it) in Lady Danger. It's only one coat. I used a dotting tool for the polka dots and the ears. I made a curved black tip on my ring finger for the top of Minnie's head. I wish my nails were just a little thicker so I could've spread the ears further apart but it gives you the idea. Oh, and I filed down my nails. I hate having long nails I feel like their constantly in the way of things & I like the way my nails look so much better short.

Day 1 - Red Nails

If you know me, you know I absolutely HATE red nails. I know, I know - shocking right? Who hates red nails? I don't know what it is about them but I hate the way they look on my nails. BUT! Thanks to this challenge I used a nail polish I've had for the longest time that I never used. I actually had to open the bottle using my teeth because it's been that long. I didn't even care if I ruined my teeth that's how much I only care about my nails. Just kidding. I probably would've cried, but at least my nails would've looked nice :) So for this manicure I used a red from the OPI Alice in Wonderland Collection. When this came out I was obsessed with the colors. Don't ask my why because there's two reds in it and I don't wear red. I loved the glitters though. And I love Alice in Wonderland. So my sweet boyfriend who feeds into my obsession bought me the mini collection. And this is the first time I'm using it. I had to have had this for maybe 2 years. I don't even remember when it came out.

I could NOT get a perfect picture of this color. These pictures do the color no justice. How cute is the wittle bottle? I love. I thought maybe I would be able to get a good picture of the color from the bottle, but NOPE. It's a shimmery, dark red. It looks like silk or foil. I think it's perfect for Christmas time too. Now I wish I would've tried this color when the collection came out so I could've bought the bigger bottle. I guess I'll have to check Amazon or Ebay. Oh, I almost forgot. The color of this nail polish is called 'Thanks so Muchness'
