Beauty Tips for Women: Precision Nail Lacquer – Holiday Edition

Posted on March 5, 2014 by admin

So I am still trying to catch up with posting my Christmas manicures of 2013. I did this manicure on 12/21/2013.

I had the great luck of winning the Holiday Edition from Precision Nail Lacquer. The colors are Twinkle Toes, After Dinner Mints, and Shiny Disco Ball. On my ring finger I did three coats of After Dinner Mints. On the rest of my fingers I did two coats of Twinkle Toes.

To make the Christmas Tree I used tape to make the shape and then stripping tape to make the zigzag design within. I then applied a coat of Shiny Disco Ball. After carefully removing the tape I then applied some dots using After Dinner Mints. I had to do it three times to get it opaque. I then fished out a star from Wet n Wild Hollywood Walk of Fame and place it at the top.

I still wanted to add something else to it. I decided to stamp Merry Christmas! Using Konad M12 plate using Konad White polish. Sealed it all up with topcoat.

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.
