Buy Buy Baby Coupons – First Christmas

The holidays are fast approaching and the buy buy baby coupons blog is gearing up to talk all about it.  If you receive the Bed Bath & Beyond flyers in the mail, you have noticed that tucked inside is a flyer for buy buy baby.  This a major change in policy considering that you had to sign up with them in order to receive a flyer and now it seems they are mailing it out automatically with the Bed Bath & Beyond circulars.  So if check with your friends to see if they have received any so they can set them aside for you.

In this November circular I got $5 of a $15 buy buy baby coupon.  This seems to be the standard coupon they offer like with Bed Bath & Beyond coupons.  The buy buy baby coupons can be used towards some great toy deals or other baby items, like strollers or car seats.  One of the items that caught my eye is the Classic Walker Wagon by Radio Flyer.  It is great for beginner walkers and who can really resist such a classic.  If you are looking for crib they have a super value deal on a Conordia Convertible Crib by Delta for $199.99.

Buy buy baby coupons blog has recommended in previous articles to sign up for the buy buy baby email list and if you have you should have received the latest buy buy baby email advertisement on the new holiday outfits.  They have an adorable Santa Fleece Footie along with a huge holiday inspired assortment of footed sleepers.  If you are looking for the “my first Christmas” clothing items, here is the place to go.  Most items are under $10 bucks, so if you apply your buy buy baby coupons you can pick up three items for the price of two.

Beauty Tips for Women – Hawaiian Christmas Manicure

Bundle Monster came out with a special edition Hawaiian Christmas plate BM-SE1.  I love all things Hawaiian, Tiki, Polynesian in theme.  I needed to get my hands on it. Bundle Monster BM-SE1

The Hawaiian Christmas plate has 7 images on it.  I immediately feel in love with the Santa Tiki.  But all the images are super cute.  I did a test stamp on paper using Konad black and all the images transferred over and were clear.  I had absolutely no issues whatsoever.

I wanted to do nontraditional colors for my Christmas manicure and try to give it an island feel. I came up with the idea of putting the Santa Tiki on the beach with palm trees. Once I decided that it was time to pick the nail polish colors.

Here is a list of what I used:
LA Colors – Sassy Sparkly
China Glaze – For Audrey
Konad – Black & White
Rimmel – Hot Coca
Color Club – Earthly Angel
Ulta – Envy
Sally Hansen – Rapid Red
Maybelline – Bold Gold
Sally Hansen – Lighening
Pure Ice – Silver Mercedes

Santa TikiI started off with doing a base coat of For Audrey.  I sponged Earthly Angel on the tip of my nail to make a little beach area.  Using Envy I painted the palm trees free hand.  I then stamped the Santa Tiki in Hot Coca but only the Tiki not the hat.  I then filled in the image completely with Hot Coca waited for it to dry and added top coat.  The reason for doing this is if I messed up placing the black image over the brown I could take acetone and gently wipe it away without taking off the rest of the polish; basically erasing the mistake.  Next used Black for the Tiki, White for the trim and Rapid Red for the hat; I lined it up as best I can and rolled.  I practiced doing this method on nail art wheel a couple of times before tying it on my nails.  So I was able to get on the first try.  Topped it off with Seche Vite.

For the middle finger I used the Christmas tree.  I stamped the tree with Eny and the flower with Konad white.  With a dotting tool I placed red and yellow dots and used a gold striper to fill in the lines.  Topped it off with Seche Vite.  Index and pinky finger I added a coat of Sassy Sparkly.  It was my intention to do it on my middle finger but totally forgot and once I but the on the Seche Vite I didn’t want to go back and mess with it.  Using Konad White I stamped Mele Kalikimaka.  For the presents on the pinky I used Silver Mercedes and Bold Gold to stamp the presents.  Topped it off with Seche Vite.

I shared my manicure with Bundle Monster via Instagram and was blown away when they shared my manicure on their facebook page.  I love their stamping plates so it truly was an honor to make it onto their timeline.

I hope you enjoyed, Mele Kalikimaka everyone!

Beauty Tips for Women – Mickey Mouse Christmas Manicure

Here is a Christmas manicure I did before heading to Disney, featuring Mickey Mouse.  I used Milani 3D Holographic in Cyber Space.  Side note, picked up the set of Milani 3D Holographic polishes on clearance at CVS for 75% off.  

I did the Mickey Mouse heads freehand using a black striper. I found it tough to get that round look but I tried my best.  Used a red striper to do the hat and dotting tool with white polish to make the trim on the hat.

I decided after wearing the manicure for two days that I wanted to add some snowflakes and some hidden Mickey Mouse heads too.  I wasn’t too happy with the way it looked.  The idea sounded better in my head.

My original idea for this manicure was the picture I did below.  My nails are not long enough to pull off the angled Mickey Mouse head and I couldn’t pull off stamping the Mickey heads in the background cause the main Mickey head would take up most of my nail.
