Happy New Year!

Well we made it! I survived Dec. 21st, ate my way through Christmas and now all that's left is to ring in the new year! These nails are my favourite for new years. I do them every year!

I started off with a base colour of Sally Hansen Black Out.

Next I used Stripe Rite Turquoise, Misa Nail art What a Wonderful Day, Relax Don't Do It, and Gold rush to make my fireworks! To make them, just make little bursts on your nails. They don't have to be perfect! As you can see I made a mess of my fingers. None of your fireworks should look the same either!

Finally I added Stripe Rite Silver Sparkles and Misa Nail art Viva Las Vegas to add some sparkle, and took Misa Nail art Going Co-co Nut to write 2013!

I wanna wish everyone a Happy New Year! My resolution this year is to try new things, even if they scare me. I'm going into a big career change and I have to be brave and confident!

This is the last post for 2012! See you all on the flip siiiiiide.

Lots of love,

Let it Snow!

Sorry this took so long to get up! I worked like crazy the past two weeks, but I promise I'll post at least 2 more after this before christmas!
Here in Ottawa, there's not a lot of snow yet. In hopes of getting more for Christmas, I decided to paint my nails in a "snowy" fashion!

I started off with Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, Revlon Waterfall and China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le.

Next I used my Misa Nail art Going Co-co Nut to add snowflakes and the start of my snowmen to my nails. The sparkles I added behind the snowflakes is NYC Starry Silver Glitter.

To add the detail to my snowmen I used Misa Nail Art Point of No Return. For the hats I just used the brush, but for the details of the eyes and mouth I used a toothpick.

And to finish off I used a few other colours to add details to the face. These were very easy to do, you just have to take your time!

And voila! And as I'm writing up this post... It's snowing! What a coincidence!

Hope you're all having a great holiday season so far!

Lots of love,

Red and White

Merry Christmas! (or Happy Hanukkah! Or Merry Kwanza?) Which ever you all celebrate happy holidays to you! Now for me, I personally celebrate Christmas. Lets say you have an awesome Christmas party to go to, but you only have two colours of nail polish (RED and WHITE). Well you're half way there!

Here's two different designs I've done (one a little more challenging than the other) using only red and white polish!

For the first one I used Xtreme Wear White Out and Misa Nail Art Sexy Back. These were really easy to do. You can even just do the stripes and they would still look awesome! Nothing like candy cane nails to make your fingers look delicious. These are probably the easiest Christmas nails I'll be doing.

Let's say you want to get a little classier with your red and white polish. For this hand I used OPI Big Apple Red and Misa Nail Art Going Co-Co Nut. The best place to wear these nails? An ugly sweater party to match your ugly sweater! I got so many compliments on these nails, and they really weren't that hard! They just took a little more time and creativity than the others.

And there you have it! Two different designs using ONLY red and white polish. I'll try to be posting more soon, I've just been super busy with both my jobs! But there's definitely more Christmas nails to come! And I'll be doing new years nails at the end of the month.

Thanks for reading! I really appreciate all you guys!

Lots of love & Merry Christmas,
