I know both of these polishes are old, but I haven't had a chance to update my stash in awhile and I still like poking around in there and discovering new combinations. As I've mentioned before, the holiday season is very inspiring for me and I love coming up with fun holiday/seasonal looks. Today's look reminds me of a Christmas tree covered in lights.
I started with a strengthening base coat (Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat). Then, I applied 2 coats of Sally Hansen Jumpin' Jade, and then 1 coat of Sinful Colors Pinky Glitter. I finished the look with a coat of quick dry top coat to even out the glitter and then a coat of Essie Matte About You, since I love matted glitter.
This look was pretty easy and a quick manicure since the Jumpin' Jade is one of Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri colors and the glitter dries quickly.

Stay inspired! Thanks for looking! :)

Winter Medley
Hi everyone! Well, it's snowy and cold where I live so that means I'm sporting winter nails! For Thanksgiving my sister wanted me to do her nails for her, so I was trying to think of several ideas for her to choose from and ended up swatching them to see how they would look. Well, I ended up with 5 different looks and just wore them as a manicure that I named Winter Medley. Since they all had the same shades of blue and glitter, it didn't look as disjointed as I imagined. I figured I could post them here for everyone so you could have some inspiration this winter!
Look #1:
Base: Wet n Wild Blue Moon
Glitter: Wet n Wild silver shimmer top coat (no label on bottle) on entire nail
Northern Lights Holographic Topcoat in silver on top 2/3 of nail
Wet n Wild Kaleidoscope on top 1/3 of nail
Rhinestones: Broadway Nails
Wet n Wild Kaleidoscope on top 1/3 of nail
Look #3:
Same as Look #2, but in the opposite direction
Look #4:
Base: OPI What's With the Cattitude?
Snowflakes: Rite Stripe in White
Glitter: Wet n Wild Hallucinate
Look #5:
Base: Color Club Blue-topia
Snowflakes: Rite Stripe in White
These looks were really fun to do. I feel like there are so many sources of inspiration during the winter months and around the holidays. Do you find the holidays inspiring? Where do you get your inspiration?
