It s the most wonderful nails of the year...

I mean not really, i am just trying to get my holiday mode.
I know i should have already made so Christmas manicures by now, and i promise to catch up on it this week, but for today i am sharing with you some beautiful manicure too.
I think this mani look quite festive and appropriate for holidays too - may be like a new year manicure.
Yesterday we had our annual meeting with Russian girls who lives around here - where was 7 of us this year , and this was our 3rd meeting. We had a lot of fun and everybody loved my nails as usually.

HO HO HO

On these nails I custom mixed a red acrylic with chunks of sparkly glitter. I also added silver "tinsel" at the tips. The ring fingers have a fimo clay Santa. I used my migi nail art pen to write Ho, Ho, Ho across the other fingers. Merry Christmas!

On these nails I painted a string of Christmas lights with my migi nail art pens.

These nails have a fimo clay Christmas Tree on the ring fingers from kennickkreations.com. My client loves stars so we added white and silver stars on all the other fingers.

These nails have a red and green smile line fade. I also added candy canes. I know I've done a lot of candy canes but hey they are just so cute I can't help it!

On these nails I painted a thick and thin white stripe to coordinate with the fimo candy cane on the ring fingers.

On these nails I faded silver up from the smile line and painted white snowflakes.

ICY Manicure

I seriousely love this manicure, actually wore it for few last days, turned out really great.
I used some chipped blue film that i got from Sally Beauty, for the icy effect. The chips are more for acrylic or gel nail, and it was pretty big chips, so i had to cut it smaller.
I try to come up with more Christmas manicures, but my head is really to busy right now with school stuff as it is end of the semester ,so still can not get any holidays spirit.

Here is left hand, forgot tu put the glitter coat

All Wrapped Up

This week, I needed something quick due to switching my manicure days around. So I decided to "wrap up" my nails in festive China Glaze "Emerald Sparkle", with some little red bows I found in my nail art stuff. This is a super-quick manicure, if you're looking for something speedy.

First step - two coats of Emerald Sparkle over one coat of base:
Then I used a silver Stripe-rite nail art brush to slip a "ribbon" down the center of each nail. Normally I would offset this to the side a little, but the bows are largish, and my nails are very curved, so they work best in the center to make sure the edges seal down. It's annoying getting stones of any shape caught in clothing, hair, etc.
Then another silver "ribbon" across the first:
So there are little ribbon crosses on each nail, like a ribbon on a package.
Any embellishment will work for the next step - one year I did red nails, white stripes and little clay peppermints at the intersection. I used these cute red bow-shaped stones, one in the center of each intersection, set in top coat.
Two coats of top coat over the whole thing to seal, and clean 'em up!
Voila! A neatly wrapped tip for each finger.

What's on your tips this week? Anything festive?

Some Nails

I am really tired and falling asleep, so today just a quick post with some nails :)
Let me know what do you think about this manicure

Manicure ideas for Christmas

Hello Beautiful Nail-Art Lovers!
I hope you all had wonderful weekend.
Today i have 2 versions of the same manicure, both made by me, but one is made on my own nails, and other was made on my friends Nails.
I actually did this for one of the contests, but realized that my tiny nails can't really compete well, i needed bigger nails, so i called my beloved forever nail-art model - Olga.
I did not win anything anyway, but at least i can share with you those Christmas manicure ideas,and i hope you ll like it.
By the way, for the extra sparkle on the free edge, i used gold foil flakes.


Those are Olgas natural nails

Nigth Club Martini

Hello Dear Nail-Art Lovers!
Today i am sharing with you my attempt of Martini glass manicure. Where are many different variation of this manicure, and almost everyone who does some nail-art have tried this one, or at least was thinking of it.
I think my turned out not bad at all, i did all the design with nail polish strippers. Special thing about it, and something think is really cool, is little "olive" dot in each glass - i made it using China glaze khrome polish.
So i hope this mani will spice up your weekend a little. And another excited news is that i died my hairs today - it is now dark auburn. I have not died my hairs for a really long time, like since i was 16-17 y o. I like my naturaly rich and dark color, but i guess just want to try something new. I cant say that i hate the result, but i definately have to get used to the new look, so far it feels weired. :)
