Beauty Tips for Women: Kindergarten Christmas Party Manicure

My 5 year old daughter wanted her nails done for her Christmas kindergarten party. She was very specific about what she wanted; red nails with an accent nail in white full of glitter, snowman and Santa.

She went about selecting the colors for her manicure:
Orly – Torrid
Salon Perfect – Sugar Cube
Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer – St. Nick’s Sweet Treats
Fing’rs Holiday Nail Art Decals #31038

Did one coat of Torrid and one coat of Sugar Cube.Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 492Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 493

Placed St. Nick’s Sweet Treats over Sugar Cube and then the added the decals. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 494Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 495Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 496Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 497

Beauty Tips for Women: Happy National Chocolate Day!

National Chocolate Day is on October 28th, so to celebrate the occasion I did a manicure.

For this manicure I used Nicole by OPI Promises In The Dark and Nicole by OPI Carrie’d Away.

I did two coats of Promises In The Dark.  I found this formula a bit problematic, very streaky.  For Carrie’d Away, I did three coats.

A simple manicure that reminded me of the Hershey’s golden kisses with almonds, which are my favorite.

Beauty Tips for Women: Fall into autumn with Nicole by OPI – Better After Dark

Autumn is here and what better way to welcome the changing of the seasons but with a manicure.  I love chocolate colors and that was the first color to pop into my mind for an autumn manicure.

For this manicure I used Nicole by OPI Better After Dark.  Better After Dark is a sultry brown with pink shimmer.  I used two coats and topped with Seche Vite.  I took some pictures using my OttLite.
