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.

Beauty Tips for Women: Santa Claus Hat Christmas Manicure

Posted on December 2, 2013 by admin

It is December again, so I’m getting into the Christmas spirit. For this manicure I did a recreation of a YouTube manicure from CutePolish. Her YouTube channel is great with easy and cute nail art tutorials. You can find her at http://youtube.com/cutepolish.

So here are the supplies for my Santa Hat manicure: Tape, dotting tools, Venique base coat, Venique WingTip White, Orly Unlawful, Color Club fast dry top coat.

I started off with taping my nails in the shape of the hat to get that crisp line. I then applied Venique base coat.

I applied one coat of Orly Unlawful.

I then did the pompom top on the hat with the largest dotting tool using Venique WingTip.

Next up was the trim on the bottom of the hat. I did about two rows of dots to make the trip nice and full.

Lastly, I applied the Color Club fast dry top coat.

This manicure is so simple and cute. It definitely got me in the Christmas spirit.

Beauty Tips for Women: Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Birthday Manicure

Posted on November 22, 2013 by admin

On November 18th was Mickey and Minnie Mouse’s Birthday. To celebrate their birthdays my daughters preschool was having a party. She asked me to do her nails for the occasion.

I started off with a coat of Essie Catwalk and made white polka dots using a dotting tool. Using the smallest dotting tool I made a black bow on her ring finger and added a little rhinestone in red for a touch of bling.

My daughter loved her Mickey and Minnie Mouse birthday manicure and it was a hit at the party. This definitely a cute and simple manicure for kids. It can easily be redone for adults who love Disney.
