Snowflake Tips

Yes! Another tipped manicure! I should start calling it Tipmania :-p

Today's inspiration came right from I'm Feeling Nail-venturous. Came across her manicure and again, like last nights mani, couldn't get it out of my head. Certain ideas just get stick there and I have to try them or else it will bug me! I'm so glad I did them because WOW! She had such an amazing idea and even on me, I think it came out awesome!

The goodies to get this done

*2 tip coats of China Glaze Bahamian Escape

*2 tip coats Sinful Colors Hottie

*1 coat China Glaze Fairy Dust

*Stamped with Bundle Monster plate 14 in SH Insta-Dri Whirlwind White

*Off brand blue rhinestones

More goodness

I added the rhinestones for a lil extra bling so I wasn't totally copying IFNV and plus, I've been really enjoying rhinestone accents lately.

Hottie applied in a gel-like application. It made my tips a bit thicker than the rest of the nail bed but a thick top coat kind of evened it out. It turned out beautiful over Bahemian Escape and Fairy Dust over it though :-)

Sugar Plum Presents

Bought this Color Club Sugar Plum Yum a while back and have been needing to use it. 

I'm kinda impressed with the scent. Even with a thick top coat, I can still smell the fruitiness of it!

Chunky as all get out though.

I also added a present accent nail. The purple base seemed to bleed into the silver ribbon though so it looks like purple silver :-s 

Darn manicures never come out the way I intended! Still eye candy though!

Check her out!

Holly Tips

Came across a gorgeous manicure picture, but of course, I've since forgotten where I saw it.

Decided to give it a try. Granted my Holly leaves came out looking nothing like the real thing, the berries have saved the look so you can actually get the idea of what I was trying to accomplish lol. Still came out pretty. Very feminine to me.

The products I used

*1 coat ORLY Twilight

*1 coat Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White tips

*Sinful Colors Envy + Color Club Object of Envy for Holly leaves

*Off brand red round rhinestones for berries

Holiday French Tips

I felt like a simple manicure tonight after so many crazy lengthy ones.

Borrowing the idea from Chalkboard Nails although hers are so much cuter. Love her green!

After seeing hers, I couldn't get it out of my head. The color and gloss/matte combo just drew me in.

Anyway, here's my attempt.

The base color, China Glaze Gussied Up Green

Base with matte

Red tips added in Avon Golden Wine

Christmas Lights

Inspired by multiple manicures, I added a few twists to mine. Tedious work but so darn cute!

With skipping outdoor lights this year, this has helped ease that craving.

Mini lights on my nails!
EDIT: I finally found the blog of my inspiration! Yay!

The red and green glitter tips with painted lights came from another gal but that picture doesn't have a tag on it :-( Darn me for not remembering! If it's your idea and you read this, please let me know so I can link you!
