Beauty Tips for Women: New Year’s Eve Manicure

Posted on January 4, 2014 by admin

I was pressed for time for New Year’s Eve but I still wanted to do a manicure. Here is what I came up with:

I did two coats of Wet ‘n Wild Black Crème. I topped it with two coats of Sephora by OPI in It’s Real 18k Gold top coat. For my ring finger I did one coat of Maybelline Bold Gold. I stamped a Happy New Year image from Cheeky jumbo plate 6 using Konad Black. Topped it off with Color Club Speedy top coat.

I wanted something simple to pull off but yet had some bling. I was very happy how it turned out and got some compliments at the party.

I have entered this manicure into a Adventures in Polishland 2nd Annual New Year’s Eve Manicure Contest on her Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=551728878250783&set=a.551728681584136.1073741839.303841569706183&type=3&theater
Please give my manicure a like and like Adventures in Polishland’s page. She has a cool page and blog.

The holidays have been crazy. I did several Christmas manicures and simple didn’t have the time to post up anything. I did place pictures on my instagram and twitter accounts. I haven’t decided yet if I will do a blog about them since Christmas is over. We shall see.

Beauty Tips for Women: Christmas Manicure for Kids

Posted on December 18, 2013 by admin

My four year old asked me to do her nails for her Christmas party at preschool in which Santa is going to pay a visit. Even though I am sick with a horrible cold I couldn’t turn her down. This manicure was all her design. She wanted candy canes, Santa Claus, and white snow. My mind nearly exploded with the request and this nasty head cold I have going on.

Here are the polishes I used to make this manicure: Wet n Wild Hallucinate, Wet n Wild French White Crème, Milani stripper in White Canvas, China Glaze Ruby Pumps, Piggy Polish Jingle Belle, and Cina Holiday Cheer decals.

Her pinky got two coats of French White Crème. Her ring finger got two coats of Jingle Belle. The rest of her fingers got two coats of Ruby Pumps. I let everything dry. Luck was on our side with finding a Santa Claus decal that fit her ring finger. Her pinky got a coat of Hallucinate. Using the stripper I set about making the stripes. This was a bit challenging because of her nail size but I did my best.

She loves her manicure and is very proud of her design. I’m glad to have gotten through it with this head cold and very pleased on how it came out. This is a very simple design that your kid will love.
