Hey guys!

Today I would like to share my nail polish related christmas presents this year with you!

From my little brother I received the special edition piCture pOlish Holiday (number 1066). Thanks bro!

From my in-laws and grandparents I received gift certificates to the Danish make-up store Matas. I will probably buy some more Yves Saint Laurent polishes for the certificate. Thank you guys!

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!

Icicles

Hey guys!

Today I have some more christmas nail art that I made for the Danish nail polish brand By K. to share with you - icicles nail art!

For the manicure I started off with a dark blue base of By K. Ink. Afterwards I used a small nail art brush and white acrylic paint to freehand on the icicles coming down from the cuticles. Lastly I added the silver details on the icicles with the brush and the silver nail polish By K. Moon Dust.

This manicure is so simple and really easy to make!

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!
