Let It Snow Christmas Manicure

Posted on December 23, 2016 by admin

Here is another Christmas theme manicure.

Products used:
China Glaze – Define Good
China Glaze – Dancing & Prancing
Born Pretty Store Plate -01
Clear Jelly Stamper plate CjS C 03
Rica – Whiteout
Seche Vite

I started off with applying two coats of Define Good from China Glaze. This is a sultry shimmering red/burgundy polish, a great color for the holidays.

To add some bling, I applied one coat of Dancing & Prancing from China Glaze.

I used Born Pretty Store stamping plate 01 for the different snowflake and tree images. Stamped with Rica Whiteout.

For the phrase “let it snow”, I used Clear Jelly Stamper plate CjS C 03. Stamped with Rica Whiteout. Everything was sealed with Seche Vite.

I was very happy with the end results, a sparkling snowfall.

Christmas Sweater Manicure

Posted on December 4, 2016 by admin

December is here so it is time for some Christmas themed manicures.

Products used:
Fresh Paint – Sandy Toes
Born Pretty Store BP-L018
Rica – Whiteout
Seche Vite
Pearl rhinestone

I started off with applying two coats of Sandy Toes from Fresh Paint. This a bright, almost neon, red coral polish. The formula was good. You can find Fresh Paint polish at Five Below stores. I sealed everything with Seche Vite.

I wanted to do a Christmas sweater look. I decided to use Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-108. This plate has a cute array of Christmas style sweater patterns. Unfortunately, getting a clean image of this plate was challenging.

I stamped the image using Whiteout from Rica. I applied Seche Vite to seal the design and while my nails were still wet, I applied the pearl rhinestones.

Beauty Tips for Women: Cirque Colors – Ghost In The Machine (LE)

I was so happy to get my hands on the Meta Collection from Cirque Colors. I used Ghost In The Machine for this manicure. Cirque Colors describes it as “a shimmery chameleon that shifts from green to blue to purple”. I certainly agree with their description. I actually find the whole collection mesmerizing. I used Born Pretty Store plate BP-L003 stamped with Rica – Whiteout.
