Christmas nails

I wish I had more time to do detailed nails, but unless I wanted to stay up past midnight to do them, I just have to make do with really simple designs. Like this one. I've seen it floating around Pinterest and Facebook and it looked easy enough to me!

Sorry for the awful lighting. I forgot to take a couple pictures at home, so I had to snap one quick at the office. I'm spacing on all the names, but they are all Sally Hanson polishes. The base is the shimmery Triple Shine in two coats. The silvery glitter is Sinful Colors. I added a holo-ish glitter to the tree to kind of look like lights. It's hard to see though. If I had Fairy Dust by China Glaze I think, that would have worked better! I've always loved the look of that polish, but I've never seen it to buy it. 

Hopefully I'll get some time to do another Christmas design before Christmas is over!

Halloween

It took me a while to figure out what to do for my Halloween nails. When I finally did decide, I kept messing up and when I finally got done, I spilled a bottle of polish on my table. I was cleaning up and when I checked to make sure it wasn't anywhere else, sure enough there was splashed polish across two of my finally finished nails. So once again, I had to redo them. At least it was on the clear part so all I did was wipe off the base coat, but left the tip. It worked out just fine. Can't even tell :)

I had a more elaborate idea with spooky trees and bats and ghosts, but I just didn't feel like going all out. This was simple and cute and I like how it turned out. I was going to do ghosts on the tips, but they just weren't turning out out right. So pumpkins it was!

I used Sally Hanson- Flawless as my base, it's just a clear coat. The Black is Wet N Wild- Black Creme, orange is Wet N Wild-Sunny Side Up and the silver is Wet N Wild-Silvivor. It's my favorite silver!

Simple Nail Art

I finally found some time and motivation to do some nail art! It didn't turn out exactly like I wanted, but I was kind of in a hurry. I might just have to try something else tonight!

On the pointer finger, you can tell that I smeared it a little. I was impatient and didn't let the black fully dry. I had to use two coats of pink because one was a little too opaque. But it's my favorite pink! The design turned out to be a little harder than I had thought because it was hard to get them to look even and the same, but I still like the simplicity of it.

Gray and Black

I bought a new gray recently and I really wanted to try it out. The other grays I have are more like silver so I was excited to find this color! It is more of a soft gray, I think this is only one coat, so it is pretty light.

This was my inspiration for this art. In the picture I think a stamp was used. I've never tried stamping, but I think I'll stick with freehand. It makes it more of a challenge.

I did a black flower design and added some silver glitter polish, like the bottom picture, but less glitter.You can't see it very well. But I still like it! My nails are also really long! Well, long for me, they will be shorter for the next post :) I also need to work on better lighting.
