My Final Christmas Nail Art!

Here is my final Christmas nail art for 2013!

I am hoping to wear this for Christmas day so I really bloody hope they don't chip. 

Here are the last cheesy Christmas tree photos... Enjoy!






I couldn't do a mani without the use of some texture could I?! Here's Zoya PixieDust in Chyna. I also used OPI Affair in Red Square. This is such and Christmas colour, it has this lush shimmer type metallic sheen. 

As you can see the stamping smudged a tad but when you look at it in real life you cant see it at all and I mean AT ALL. Its kind of annoying!

The stamping plates are all from the festive collection by MoYou London. 
I used the decal method for the Hollie. You can find a tutorial HERE 

Did you know I have written 180 posts this year? My first year of blogging! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU LOVELY PEOPLE!

Snowflakes and Glitter Nail Art

More Christmas nail art! Well 'tis the season and all.... 

Today I have used Nein Nein Nein, Okay Fine by OPI. Your typical grey, its a lovely shade and covers well. My clean up is a bit sucky today. I have noticed that recently my painting skills are abit crap. I think its because I haven't been keeping up with nails as much as I would like too. 

I am hoping in the new year to start with some very well intentioned resolutions in regards to blogging and getting back on this bi-atch :P 



I used OPI Alpine Snow for the snowflakes. 
The glitter is Pastel Fusion by Sick Lacquers, I think this glitter works really well as its subtle and looks quite wintery. I used a make up sponge to blend it down from the tip.

I really love this mani, and I like that I am back to hand painting. If only a couple rudimentary snowflakes LOL

More Festive Nails

Here are some more false festive nails!

You may remember seeing a previous post about some false nails I have been making to sell. 


OPI Affair in Red Square 


OPI Your Such A Budapest with Barry M Special edition silver glitter from Xmas a few years back and a silver glitter Catrice polish


OPI Dont Mess With OPI and Zoya PixieDust Chyna


All of these styles did sell and I  think my fave are the last set, I just love PixieDust! What are your fave set? 

I was having a problem with the red coming through the stamping but I have a way to combat that. Before stamping over red, apply top coat first, then stamp. TaDa! No more problems!


I have of course also been crocheting a lot, are there any other nail obsessed people out there who also crochet??

Festive False Nails

Okay I have again been crap at blogging. 

BUT.... I have been working on something behind the scenes. 

My friend has been bugging me to make false nails for a while now and i have finally done it! 
By the way this is the same friend that convinced me to start this blog. I should really listen to her more! 

I have started them off on eBay with a start of just 99p! I had no idea how to price them so Ill just see how they go. 

Here they are!! 


 These have a slight defect ( bloody topcoat) 
I used OPI Affair in Red Square and Color Club's Sugar Plum Fairy ( i think) 






 Diamante fade nails. 
Diamantes over OPI's Every Month Is Oktoberfest




Blue snow flake nails with dots of Holographic glitter using Zoya's Robyn

Feature nails are done using Zoya PixieDust in Liberty.
