New Years Nails

Dear Polish Addicts,

I know it's not quite New Years yet but I felt like these nails were appropriate anyway.  I used 2 coats China Glaze Cheers to You (2010 Holiday Collection) for the silver base.  Then I used China Glaze Midinght Kiss (2010 Holiday Collection) for a gradient but the effect didn't pop as much as I would've hoped.  I think it lost too much pigment through the sponge or it was too much like the base color.  Either way.  Then I took some little nail confettis in silver and gold stars and I like this!  Then for my thumbs I did one with 20 and the other with 11 so when you put them together it says 2011!  yay!  I hope you all have a fantastic new year!

Nfu Oh 51

Enlarge the pictures by clicking on them to see flakies detaill.....I love this little sucker!! I'm going to marry it.  This is Nfu Oh #51 Flakies.  First I used 3 coats of Sally Hansen Purple Pizzaz (40) because flakies look best layered.  Then I used one coat of 51 and then fast forward top coat from china glaze.  It's truly amazing.  It's a jelly purple base with these copper flakes that change to green and gold in different lights.  What more could you ask for?!  Everyone needs this.  Seriously!  Here are several pictures at my attempted fail of capturing my love.  I hate my camera =P

Looks weird with flash.. :)

Candy Cane Nails

Quick Christmas post!  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all :)!

I used 2 coats of Orly Reel Him In (a great christmas red) and LA Colors art deco white for the lines and a silver glitter striper from icing!  I liked them even though they're so simple :)

Nfu Oh's are my Lover

OMG so excited.  Seriously.   So I got myself some nfu oh polishes from fabuloustreet.com for 12.50 each which is a little pricy for nail polish but they are so worth it.  GORGEOUS!  I got 6 in my first haul... but then ordered 3 more... gah this is addictive.   If you are easily addicted to things.... beware!  This is what I ordered (I am not bragging, I am doing this to show you guys what I have so you can know what I will be using in a lot of my posts)  I got the aqua base, holo #63, holo #65, lavender cuticle flower oil, flakies: 50, 51, 52, 53, 56 <3!  They are so pretty and I can't wait to do swatches because I have found some amazing layer combos that I can't wait to share!  Here are some pics and note how gorgeous the bottles are :)!

Crystal Snowflakes

Hey Polish Addicts,

Here is Zoya Crystal from their winter flame collection.  I used 3 coats and it's just got this icy look to it so I decided to add some snowflakes with konad plate m59 and special white polish.  I love this.  I just feels so wintery!

Mistletoe Kisses

Hey Polish Addicts,

This is China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses from their Christmas collection of this year (2010).  I love it!  Pictured is 2 coats but I probably could've used 3.... Anyway I added some holly with migi pens and glitter with la colors art deco in silver glitter.   Enjoy!

Peace on Earth

Hey Polish Addicts,

I've been trying to use the polishes that i own from the new china glaze collection so here is peace on earth!  It's so amazing!  It has like a glow from within and you can see that from one of the pictures.  I added some white konad with m63.  Enjoy!

Emerald Sparkle

Hey Polish Addicts,

Here is the gorgeous emerald sparkle!  I havent really had sunlight to take a picture of this so exuse the bad picture.  It's rather embarassing.  This is China Glaze Emerald Sparkle, with a konad plate m73  with china glaze passion for the stamp.  It's much prettier in person trust.

Tree Decoration Mani!

Hey Polish Addicts,

Our family got our tree and this just inspired me to do some christmas deco. nails!  I used China Glaze tinsel as the base color, then took some migi pens and made some circles with some black hooks and white reflects to make it look like the sun was hitting the ornament.   On my thumb I made a tree with a stump and everything.   I even took a little golden steel bead to make the star of the tree.  These somewhat tickled my tummy because I LOVE christmas!!

Birthday Nails!

Hey Polish Addicts,

My birthday was yesterday so I did some nails that I knew would make me happy ;)  I used OPI Show it and Glow it!  some teal blue rhinestones around the cuticle area, and some fimo cupcakes.  Hehhehe they made me happy :)

Ice Berg/Snow Bank?

Hey Polish Addicts,

I wanted to do some mani with snow so this is what I came up with.  I used 2 coats of China Glaze blue island iced tea (gorgeous!) then I did a gradient with a white and some china glaze fairy dust.  Then I added just a slight amount of a random glitter pot that reminded me of fresh fallen snow.  I like(d)... until it got smudged when I was shopping :'(

Curtain Nails?

Hey Fellow Polish Addicts!

This is probably going to be my last non-holiday themed nail design!  It is maybelline express finish nail color in Mocha Blast for the base color and I used China Glaze Passion for the konad with plate m64.  China Glaze is such a gorgeous khrome gold that I picked up at Ulta and it's permanent there!  It's not exactly the same as 2030 but for me it works just dandy!  I think it looks like an ornate curtain so that's why I called them curtain nails!
