Holiday
Mani-A!
Happy Holidays everyone! I am sharing today some holiday manicures I have been doing the past month. I made sure to do my holiday shopping a head of time so I could have time to put these together. :)
So, first up I will be showing a quick pictorial on how to get those candy cane nail designs you may have been seeing around. Step 1, paint your base color after painting a clear base coat and let sit for about 2 min. I used Rica Polish: Whiteout for my base. Step 2, apply your nail strips according to how you want. I did one large strip at the bottom corner of my nail then proceeded with a small and then medium and so on with just medium and small. I purchased these strips from www.NailVinyls.com (IG: @Teisom) Step 3, paint on your desired color. I used here Sinful Colors: No Text Red. After applying the polish, immediately but carefully remove the strips using a tweezer then let it sit to dry for a few minutes and clean up your edges of excess polish. Step 4, you can touch up if its needed. If the design came out perfect then just top coat the design using your desired top coat and the design is completed. :)
Below I have a manicure showing Polished By KPT: Naughty and Nice on four of my nails. It is a red thermal polish with scattered holographic pigments and blue iridescent. It changes from Red when cold, to a pink when warm. On my middle nail I have used a holiday sweater pattern from HD-I Bunny Nails brand stamping plate. My ring nail is of a green spearmint candy cane and my pinky has one coat of Serum No.5 Yule Light Up My Life. Base coat used underneath is Dream Polish: Smooth Gem base coat and for top coat I used their Gem Glam top coat.
Below is my right hand; also known as my Cinderella hand. :D I have on still Polished By KPT and a red peppermint candy cane design on my accent instead of the green, and only my pinky has on Serum No.5: Yule Light Up My Life.
Next up is a new brand I just purchased from called Nvr Enuff Polish. I have here Extraterrestrial. It is a beautiful dark blue holo polish. I used flash to take this photo so you can the holographic pigment shine through. It took me three coats to build opacity and used Dream Polish: Gem Glam top coat. My accent nail is two coats of Azature: Peal diamond. It really does resemble a pearl and is absolutely gorgeous.
Below I added art to Extraterrestrial and Pearl Diamond. I used Bunny Nails: HD-I stamping plate for the snowflakes.
Again for the candy cane design I used Nail Vinyls by Linda (IG: Teisom). How to can be found above as well as link to the site for purchasing.
Lastly, on my right hand, I have on two coats of Dollish Polish: I Am The One Who Knocks (Breaking Bad inspired) on my pinky nail. It is suppose to resemble Walter White's Blue Sky drug, but it also is great for resembling the Winter season. :D On my accent nail I just have on Azature: Pearl Diamond. Middle nail has Sinful Colors: Ruby Ruby, and I did an ombre on my pointer nail using Polish My Life: Breakfast On Fifth and Rica Polish: Whiteout and stamped on dark blue snowflakes using Bunny Nails: HD-I stamping plate.
I had a great time creating these designs and hope you have or had a great holiday! As always links to websites are posted below! If some are closed keep up to date by following that brand on their social medias. Happy shopping! <3
