Christmas!!!

Hey guys!!! It's officially the start of the Christmas Season! Sorry I've been too busy to blog, but I loooooove Christmas so I'm back especially for this gorgeous mani! Here's a macro of the Christmas polish I used:

It's Lush Lacquer Tree-Mendous. It's got green microglitter, pink, red, orange, yellow, and blue matte/satin glitter and gold stars. It's a Christmas tree in a bottle!

I started with two coats of Pure Ice Femme Fatale. It's a gorgeous hunter green suede with silver shimmer from their new Velour Finish Line. It's the perfect base for a Christmas tree mani, so I'll probably be using it a lot this season.

Then I topped it off with two coats of Tree-Mendous. It applied really well. I had to fish a little for stars (I wanted one on each nail) but it wasn't that frustrating. If you want a whole shower of stars, you might want to store it upside down for a little bit before applying.

This polish is absolutely perfect to get in the Christmas mood! I don't know how I'm going to take it off! IN. LOVE.

Here's a couple of macros of nails on my right hand. The first one looks like a tree with the placement of the star :) The second one is just soooo glittery!!!

So what's everyone's favorite Christmas polishes for this year?

Teal Tuesday: Gradient

This week for Teal Tuesday we're doing gradients! I'd just gotten Pretty & Polished Sand Art in the mail so I was dying to try it! I started with three coats of Icing Mr. Right Now. It's a gorgeous teal with blue and purple shimmer.

Then I did a gradient by layering Sand Art with the bottle brush. Remember sand art?! I was obsessed with it!

I love this! It's not my smoothest gradient, but this polish makes up for it :)

Monkey See Monkey Do Monday: China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard and Nail-Venturous Floam

Time for another Monkey See Monkey Do Monday! I wasn't sure what I was going to do and I saw China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard staring at me from my untried box. I love love love this polish! So fricking awesome. After I put it on, I remembered Lindsey's (Neverland Nail Blog) awesome combination and decided to recreate her mani!

Lindsey does some awesome nail art. Even though this is one of her more simple manis, it's still genius!  If some awful tyrant made me choose to only have one mani for the rest of my life, I think I'd choose this one. It's so bright and happy! 

I started with two coats of China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard. You need this polish in your life! Then I used two coats of Nail-Venturous Floam on my thumb and ring finger nails as an accent :) These two go so well together!
