Christmas Nails

Dec24

Here it is Christmas Eve and I have time to post again. I am going to tell you about my Christmas nails. I got lots of complements on these two Christmas themed nails. Yes, I am going to post both Christmas nails in one post since tomorrow is Christmas. I have been having problems with my nails chipping and peeling, so I am using Kiss nails.
The first one is a polish by Julep from their December polishes called Scarlett. It is a shimmery red with a hint of a pink, and perfect as a Christmas polish. I used two coats of Scarlett by Julep. It was easy to use and lasted a whole week with minimum wear. The sun light picture looks more orange, but the shade picture shows the true red color.
For the second Christmas look I used two colors. The main color is Big Money Frost by New York Color. It is a shear frosted green that took three thin coats to get the color I wanted. Next I used Sugar Cookie by Pure Ice. Sugar Cookie is a glitter with both red and holo glitters. It took several coats to get it to look like this. It almost looks like the red glitter are tiny lights. I have received many complements from people wanting to know where I had them done. The pictures were taken after two days of work and wear.

Now for the pictures!!! Enjoy!

Dakota by Julep

I want to wish everyone a happy Labor Day, and say that I am sorry that there was no post last week. It was a very busy week with the first week of a new school year and back to working two jobs. For those that don’t know me very well I used to teach full time, but now I am a substitute teacher during the school year and also work at the local Wal-Mart nights and weekends. So next time you miss my posts you will know that life was just too hectic that week and I was too worn out to post. On the bight side I did have time to redo my nails a couple of times and take pictures.

This is another of the August polishes by Julep. Dakota is a rose gold metallic chrome that has a nice shimmer. It was easy to work with and covered in one coat. I used one coat of Nail Envy by OPI as a base coat, one coat of Dakota by Julep, and the top coat is Double Duty by Sally Hansen. I really like this color and received several complements on it. The pictures were taken a day or two later and you can see some wear and a chip on the tips of the nails.

Now for the pictures.

Alfre by Julep

Today I am sharing one of Julep’s August polishes, Alfre. I received my August box last week and couldn’t wait to use one. Alfre is a fun purple metallic polish. It is easy to use and applied in two coats. It is a fast drying polish. Now for the details, I used Nail Envy by OPI as a base coat, two coats of Alfre by Julep, and a top coat of Double Duty by Sally Hansen. I want to remind everyone that Julep has an introduction box that you can get for $1 with this code COLOR2012.

A Little Sparkle

Jul18

Another day at work over and I thought I’d post about the latest polishes I used to spice up my nails. We have to wear the same old thing every day so I use nail polish to add something personal to my look. It’s the little things the bring us joy! I used OPI Nail Envy Matte as a base coat. Then two coats of Rose by Julep and finally a no name pink glitter by Cosmetic Arts just because I like a little sparkle. I took some pictures to show off how it came out.
