OPI Holly-Day Nails + Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014 Swatches

December is here and you know what that means.....Holiday nail art galore!  Really, why would you wear any other kind of nail art this month?  You wouldn't.  That's what I thought :)

I created these "Holly-day" nails using all OPI polish!  I also have swatches of a few polishes from the Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014 Collection.  Follow the jump below to see these pictures up close.

Gray Jelly Sandwich + Metallics

I recently did this super easy nail art. It required no tape, no dotting tools, and no paint brushes.  See - super easy!

Sometimes life gets busy, sometimes I get burnt out.  Sometimes I just don't feel like painting my nails.  *GASP* Yes, it's true.  Sometimes I just don't feel like painting my nails at all.  When I get into these funks, I find some polishes I haven't used in a while and I do something really easy.

Alas, from my funk I give you a gray jelly sandwich + metallics.

OPI Push & Shove Swatch and Review

I wasn't going to purchase this polish.  I thought it was trendy and that I wouldn't really wear it that much.  But I kept seeing swatches of it on Instagram and it kept calling to me.  Yes, it was calling my name.  "Buy meeeee"  "You know you want meeeee"  …..is this creepy yet?


Alas, I was at Ulta last weekend and picked this one up.  I thought I would regret it if I didn't add it to my collection.  I was right.


I applied the base coat that comes with Push & Shove.  It's called Lay Down That Base.  Then I applied 2 coats of Push & Shove.  No top coat needed.

See how shiny it is?  It's very reflective in person.  It was hard to capture the reflectiveness through photograph.  I'm not going to say you need this.  But you NEED this.  Really.  

Til next time,
