Wish List

Hey guys!

Today I would like to share my wish list for christmas this year with you!

My boyfriend have granted me a corner of our apartment so I can make a nail polish corner. That is why the first part of my wish list is furniture from IKEA to said corner.

I already own two red Helmers, but I wish for two new ones in white as that is the theme color of my nail station - that way my nail polishes will be in focus. I also wish for a high gloss white table top, so the Helmers will be part of my desk. Instead of a traditional desk chair, I wish for an Erland chair and some faux sheep skin so I can sit comfortably while doing my nails. Lastly I wish for a work lamp and some basket insert for the Helmers, so I can organize all my nail art accessories.

The second part of my wish list is - of course - nail polish!

First of all, I wish for the collector's item Christian Louboutin Rouge Louboutin! Futhermore I wish for two of the new Essie Matte Cashmere shades: Coat Couture (matte mauve-grey with aqua-blue shimmer) and Spun in Luxe (matte black with blue shimmer). Moreover I wish for some more of the absolutely amazing piCture pOlish shades: O'hara (red with scattered holo), Kryptonite (green with scattered holo), Shy Violet (purple with scattered holo), Holiday (micro-glitter and flakies in a clear base), Minty (mint polish with red and white chunky glitter) and Fool's Gold (teal blue with gold glitter). Lastly I wish for a subscription for Nail It! magazine.

Merry Christmas!

Snowmen

Hey guys!

♫ Do you wanna build a snowman? ♫
Today I have some snowman nail art for you guys!

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Essie Borrowed & Blue on all my nails except for my pinky which I painted with a textured silver of OPI It's Frosty Outside. For the nail art on my middle and ring finger I applied some snowman water decals.

The water decals I used for this nail art is from Born Pretty Store. They come on a sheet (#9971 in the pattern BLE117) with a lot of different decals - christmas trees, snowmen and santa hats to name a few. There are also a lot of other christmas water decals in different styles and motives.
I really like these water decals as they are easy to apply, look really awesome on and are really cheap (they are only 0.99$!).

Christmas Sweater

Hello ladies!

Today I made a christmas sweater skittlette that I would like to show you guys.

For this manicure I started off with a red base of By K. The Sky is the Limit on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the sweater design on my middle and ring finger using MoYou London Festive Plate Collection 02 and Mundo de Uñas White stamping polish. To finish off the skittlette I added the silver holographic glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to my pinky.

Even though the stamping is not perfect, I really, really love how this turned out!

Rudolph

Hello ladies!

Today I made the cutest christmas nail art ever - little reindeers with Rudolph as an accent nail!
I was inspired by TrendyPolish on Instagram.

For the manicure I started off with a light blue base of Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid. Afterwards I made the reindeer heads with the brown OPI Ice-bergers and Fries. Then I painted on the antlers with the dark brown Essie Partner in Crime and a small nail art brush. Lastly I added the eyes and noses with white and black acrylic paint and dotting tools in various sizes, except for on the Rudolph nose which I dotted on with the red shimmer piCture pOlish Bridget.

I think these are so cute!
