The polish was custom made for Accio Lacquer by Silly Bee’s Chickadees.  The polish was inspired by the movie A Christmas Story.

Beauty Tips for Women: Chinese New Year 2014 Manicure

Happy Chinese New Year! I was inspired to try my hand at a Chinese New Year manicure when I looked at Jior Couture – Light The Festival.  Light The Festival is beautiful gold polish with small glitters of green, red, pink and silver. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 325

For the stamping portion of this manicure I used Bundle Monster BM-H15 and used Sally Hansen Rapid Red to stamp the image.

I then stamped the images.  It was a bit difficult to stamp since I am down to nubs but I managed to get the images in.

Beauty Tips for Women: Nicole by OPI – Am I Making Myself Claire? And Jior Couture – Coming Through Manicure

I was feeling like a purple manicure but with a bit of glitter bling.  I wanted something simple because lately I have been pressed for time, so here is what I came up with.

I did two coats of Nicole by OPI – Am I Making Myself Claire? from their Modern Family collection.  The color is so lovely; it is a grayish pastel lilac.  The application was a bit on the streaky side.

To add the bling, I added a coat of Jior Couture – Coming Through.  Coming Through is a blue, purple, and bronze color glitters in a clear polish.
