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.

Beauty Tips for Women: Sinful Colors – Rebel Sinful Shine with Gel Tech Swatch

Posted on November 21, 2013 by admin

Beauty tips for women swatch and review of Sinful Colors – Rebel Sinful Shine with Gel Tech. This polish is a rich chocolate brown colored polish. It is a nice color to change to for the fall.

I found that Rebel was a bit streaky during application. It took two coats to get coverage without streaks and I truly was expecting this one to be a one coater since it is such a dark color. The formula was good and I found no difference between the Sinful Shine with Gel Tech to their regular formula.
