I see you!!!

Hello my darlings!
I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas. Mine was amazing. I couldn't be happier. I am so blessed to have an amazing family and friends.
My boyfriend got me the most amazing gifts ever. I screamed and cried when I opened up my gift.
HE GOT ME MUPPETS!!!
They are called Muppet Whatnots and are from the same company that does Jim Hensons' Muppets.
I have different eyes, noses, hair, glasses. 
He put so much thought in these gifts. 
He put them in vintage carrying cases.
If you look closely at the picture, you can see my mascara running. 
These mean the world to me.

Onto my nails of today!
Base color: American Apparel Manila
White, Black, Red, Purple, Robin's Egg Acrylic paint 
I was inspired by a dress I saw but I honestly cannot remember who made it.
Sorry!!!
This was super simple to do.
And can I just say how much I am loving this light box!?
It's amazing!!!!!

Until tomorrow my lovelies!!!!

Frosty!!!

Ok so I am not one for posting twice in a day usually. I did a quick manicure and decided to play around with the light box Chris did for me.
So I wanted to share the results.
How cute are my snowmen?
I really like the light box. I just have to get some better lighting.
During the winter, my hands get really really bad in terms of dryness.

What do you think about the light box?
Better, Worse, same?

Nom Nom Nom

Well hello my dears! I hope everyone is doing great!

Today I have a rather odd Christmas manicure for you.. I am laughing as I type this because it is kind of ridiculous. I don't know what made think of doing this. All I can say is that I am grateful for my very random though process.
Base color: Wet n Wild Black Creme
Acrylic paint for the rest.

Do you see how silly it is? I can't stop laughing. It's so silly! I love it! The tree is a bit sloppy because my blood sugars dropped drastically.

I hope you all enjoyed my manicure today. I know I did!!!

Until tomorrow my lovelies!

Gonna Find Out Who's Naughty And Nice

Hello my lovely readers, I hope everyone is well. Today's been rainy and dreary and I love it. This type of weather makes me want to stay in bed, which I plan on doing.

Today is the 7th day of Christmas and I bring to you Santa coats!
Base color: OPI Alpine Snow (2 coats)
Red and black acrylic paint
Buckle: China Glaze Cheers To You
Of course my Santa is fabulous so I added Lynnderella Ruby Red Ruby to his coat.
Bling bling bling.

Over the weekend, my boyfriend came across a photo of mt first attempt at nail art.
He told me that I have come a long way! 
I agree wholeheartedly! 
I still have a lot to learn though.
I also got my first request today for nail art!!!

Until tomorrow my lovelies!!

Deck The Halls with Boughs of Holly

Fa la la la la la la la la

Today is the 6th day of Christmas and I bring you Boughs of Holly!!! I'm going to be honest with you, my dear readers. When I first started this mani, I was sure it was going to be a fail. I prepped myself for a horrid outcome. And may I add, that I totally rocked it and didn't fail!

This is another of my pushpin manicures. I just can't seem to find a brush thin enough for my liking.

Base color: Essie Ballet Slippers (3 coats)
Black, white, red, green acrylic paint.


I am so happy with the way these came out!

Until tomorrow my lovelies!

They all shouted out with glee!

Today is the 5th day of my Christmas themed manis. I'm getting excited as each day passes. Honestly, I can't believe it's already December 5th. The past 7 months have flown by!

I have for you, those pesky little reindeer that didn't let Rudolph join in any reindeer games.
Base color: Sally Hansen Big Money
Brown, black, white acrylic paint
Rudolph's nose: Lynnderella Ruby Red Ruby

This was a lot of fun to do.
I had a smile on my face the entire time I was doing my nails!!!

The index reindeer had an eye accident as you can see. 
It's small. He was playing with a BB Gun and shot his eye out!

Until tomorrow my lovelies!!

Snowflakes are kisses sent from heaven

On the 4th day of Christmas, my true love did on me
Special looking snowflakes..

I have a feeling that my readers might get tired of me starting the posts that way haha.
I hope everyone is doing well! Currently, I am watching The Muppets Christmas Carol.. If you have not seen it... well, what are you waiting for!? GO!
I must say, that my passion for nail art has returned. I have almost every day planned so far! I am not letting my health bring me down. A positive view is what I promise to have.

Base color: Wet n Wild Black Creme
Layered with Deborah Lippmann Stairway to Heaven
White acrylic paint for the snowflakes topped with China Glaze White Cap
I tried to make each one different because no two are the same!

I wish I could capture how much it glitters. It looks so awesome. It reminds me of that first snowfall.
The snow where no one has stepped, no cars have dirtied. 
We got our first snowfall on Halloween but it melted within a Boston.
I am hoping to have a white Christmas.
What do you like about Christmas/Winter?
What do you think of this manicure?
I love hearing your opinions!

Until tomorrow my lovelies!!!

On the 2nd and 3rd day of Christmas...

On the 2nd day of Christmas art, my true love did to me...
Special looking penguins!
Base color: MAC Seriously Hip
White and Black acrylic paint
China Glaze Peachy Keen 
I dunno what I would have done to make them look better. 
They are extremely special looking.
Eep! Even though are you special looking, my dear penguins, mama still loves you to death!

On the 3rd day of Christmas nail art, my true love did to me...
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!
Base Color: OPI Alpine Snow
Lynnderella Ribbon Candy
Black, blue, green, red, yellow acrylic paint

I like this mani alot. The Lynnderella glitter made it look like a party on my nails!
I am loving December for nail art. 
November was a rather dull month for me. 
I was diagnosed with certain things and it took it's toll on me.
But this month brings all new things.
My birthday, John Waters show, Christmas, snow, sledding!
What more can a girl ask for?

I also want to thank all of my followers.
I will be having a giveaway when I reach 200!

Until tomorrow!

Thumpetty thump thump

Today is December 1st! Today also marks the first of a month long of Christmas manicures!
Here in Boston, doesn't really feel like December. We've been having very warm weather. It's so unusual.
My birthday is December 9 and every year there has been a snow storm on my birthday. We'll see what happens.

Earlier today, I was playing Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4. The snowmen in Hogsmeade are so adorable so I decided to do a mani based on them.
As a base I used OPI How's it Snowin'? which is a Ulta holiday exclusive.
I used black, white and purple acrylic paint to freehand the snowmen
I want to make this into a feltie!
I now have a new project to keep me busy!!

Extreme close up.. WHOAAAAA 
/end Wayne's World scene
They are they cutest little things in the world!!

I have a great idea for what I am going to do tomorrow!
Muahaha

Until tomorrow my lovelies!

OPI Christmas Polishes at Ulta

Today I was nail shopping and while at Ulta, I came across some polishes that I wasn't familiar with.
There are three OPI Christmas polishes there. How's It Snowin'? Speak For Your-Elf, and A Sparkle Yule Love.
This is also my Day 16 of Untrieds. I fell behind because I was in Canada with no internet at all. But I will now resume to posting regularly now.

This is How's It Snowin'?
The pointer finger has 1 coat.
The middle finger has 2 coats.
The ring finger has 3 coats.
I love this polish (I think I say that a lot).
It starts off rather sheer but is very buildable. 
It's gray and silver glitter. (Sorry I am horrible at describing things)

Next up is A Sparkle Yule Love.
The pointer finger has 1 coat.
The middle finger has 2 coats.
The ring finger has 3 coats.
This looks exactly like Excuse Moi? from The Muppets collection.
I like be doing a comparison post later on in the week.
 It's a pink/reddish base with teal, green, silver, gold, pink and orange glitter.

Last but not least is Speak for Your-Elf
The pointer has 1 coat. 
The middle has 2 coats.
The ring has 3 coats.
This is a red based with red glitter.
We've seen these before.

Why do my nails look dirty????
It's a small collection and I am thinking it's exclusively for Ulta.
