Christmas Watermarble

What's better than a watermarble....a Christmas watermarble!  All the fabulousness of a watermarble with a little bit of holiday spirit.  Glorious.

I submitted these to Nail It! Magazine for their Nov/Dec Holiday issue and they were chosen to be featured!  This is the third issue my nail art has been featured in and I am so excited/proud/humbled by this! (allthefeelz)

St. Patrick's Nail Art Round Up

Even though St. Patrick's Day is almost over, I wanted to share all of my St. Patrick's Day Manis from 2014!  I'll keep this short & sweet.

Below are the top 2 manis that I didn't do individual posts on.  You can see the bottom two manis here and here.  

The first one is the dotticure I wore today.  Polishes used are: Sally Hansen White On, Essie Mojito Madness, Revlon Minted, and Seche Collected Moments.

For the mani below I used: OPI Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow, OPI Pure, and Essie Beyond Cozy.  

I hope everyone had a fun and safe St. Patrick's Day!

Twin nails: St. Patrick's Day Theme Nail Art

Jen (aggiesdoitbetter) and I decided to do some twin nails together. She had the idea to do a St. Patrick's theme, which I thought was great! We put our heads together and came up with these adorable skittles nails.

Top: My Nails, Bottom: Jen's Nails

Polishes I used: Sally Hansen White On, Essie Mojito Madness, OPI Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow, Color Club Holiday Splendor, and L'oreal Amazon Flash. 

I used a dotting tool to create the shamrock and dots. I used a very very small paint brush to hand draw the lines. 

You can check out Jen's blog (click for link) or her instagram @aggiesdoitbetter for more information on her mani. 

How fun are these?! I love doing holiday themed nails. Holidays make it so easy to come up with cute nail art. Thanks for stopping by!

December Mani Challenge: Day 1 Red & Green

The instagram nail community is so amazing.  Every time I check IG, I find 10 more people who are so amazing at nail art.  Last night as I was browsing through pictures, I came across a group of girls on IG who created a December Mani Challenge for anyone interested in participating.  I was apprehensive at first because I like to polish my nails when I feel like doing it, not according to someone else's schedule.  The nice thing about this challenge schedule is that it gives you a few days to complete each challenge (instead of a new challenge every day.)  So I said, what the hell. Let's give it a try.

I am a few days behind, so I have some catching up to do.  Day 1 was on November 26 and the theme was red and green.  I chose to do a skittles of different red and green patterns.  

For anyone interested, the challenge goes as such:

Nov 26: red & green

Nov 29: snow

Dec 2: Christmas Lights

Dec 5: Gingerbread men

Dec 8: Christmas Tree

Dec 11: Holiday Movie

Dec 14: Elves

Dec 17: Candy Cane

Dec 20: Gift

Dec 24: Santa Claus

Shaded Natural Light

Sunlight

Artificial Light

Polishes Used: Essie Marshmallow, Essie Snap Happy, Essie Mojito Madness, Sinful Colors Holiday Rebel

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanks for stopping by :)
