Night Before Christmas - SMYTC Holiday Challenge Day 12

It's Christmas Eve! I wanted to post this tonight so it could really be the Night before Christmas but we are going to Daniel's dad's for Christmas Eve and I have no idea when we will be home.

I was kind of stumped for awhile on what I could do but I made up my own version and it's taking pieces of things I have done in this challenge.

My thought process was - Rudolph brings Santa to houses to deliver the presents under the tree every night before Christmas! 

I used :

China Glaze - Ruby Pumps

Sinful Colors - Nirvana

Sally Hansen - White On

Pure Ice - Black Rage

Wet n Wild - Scarlet Red

China Glaze - For Audrey

Wet n Wild - SaGreena the Teenage Witch

Sinful Colors - Let's Meet

China Glaze - Creative Fantasy 

HK Girl - Top Coat

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Holidays! I am so glad I participated in this challenge it was so much fun!

Santa - SMYTC Holiday Challenge Day 11

Happy Holidays everyone! We are almost to Christmas and I feel all giddy :) I love Christmas! Tonight I have my Santa nails for you. I was inspired by a pin I found here - it does not link to the original source but back to a pinterest profile. Anyway here is my version! 

I apologize for the hangnail on the pinky. I need to use moisturizer more often knowing it's winter and I am in Minnesota!

I used

 Wet n Wild - Scarlet Red

 Sally Hansen - White On 

Pure Ice - Black Rage

  Pure Ice -Beeware

HK Girl - Top Coat

I will have the "Night Before Christmas" nails up tonight or tomorrow for you. I am going to go work on them now. It will also be my last day of the Holiday challenge! Time flew and I had so much fun!

Gifts - SMYTC Holiday Challenge Day 10

I can't believe that there is only 2 more challenge days after this! I am kind of glad but sad at the same time! I never really thought a challenge would be all that fun, but honestly it's addicting! If you have never tried one I strongly urge you to try it at least once. Even if you don't blog I would still follow along! 

Now I just have to figure out what the perfect Christmas manicure will be! 

So this past weekend we went Christmas shopping and we stopped into Trade Secret at the mall here well they are raising their O.P.I prices come January so they had a deal buy 2 get 1 free. I decided to pick some pink polish up - that seems to be the one color that is seriously lacking in my stash. Well a few months ago I really wanted to pick up Every Month is Oktoberfest and I didn't. Hubby picked it out and said grab 2 more. I love this man! I am sure he is happy I am going on a no buy starting in January! :) Anyway I picked that polish up and decided to use that as the base for my "gift" nails. The color is gorgeous in person but I could not get the camera to pick up the colors - so to me it almost looks black. I promise it's not!

Here are my gift nails!

O.P.I - Every Month is Oktoberfest

Stripe Rite Paint - Silver glitter (Not sure if there's a name - it's in the other room)

Here are the remaining manicures left 

I am excited to try out Santa and I think I have an idea for The Night Before Christmas!

Holly - SMYTC Holiday Challenge Day 9

Real quick here is day 9. Had a busy day of holiday baking and only made a small dent in my to do list. 

 I tried to do stamping but I don't think I have a good green stamping polish and I didn't want to make black holly leaves so I free handed it.

 Here it is

Sorry about the awkwardness of this photo-the hubs took these pictures because I had a bunch of lotion on!

 I used Sally Hansen White On - Wet n Wild SaGreena the Teenage Witch - China Glaze Ruby Pumps and lastly Finger Paints Sparkle and Snowflake.

Inspired by a Holiday Movie - SMYTC Holiday Challenge Day 8

Hey everyone! Sorry I have been MIA I had to brave the stores to get all our Christmas shopping done. I only have 2 small things left to get and I am done. I cannot believe how fast the days are coming and we are almost just a week away from Christmas.

So today's challenge was Inspired by a holiday movie. I was stumped at first about what I could do in the beginning. Well I wanted to get these cute water decals for Christmas so I ordered the Grinch. I thought this would be perfect for today's challenge. I started with a white and green saran wrap mani but it was too much green and the grinch could not be seen so I had to change it up. 

Here they are!

I used Sally Hansen White On and HK Girl top coat. Simple!

Snowman - SMYTC Holiday Challenge Day 7

Hey everyone!

Does anyone do holiday baking? I love doing holiday baking but I really took a lot on this year. We have an island and it is completely full of baking and candy making supplies. I feel so overwhelmed! I spent 5 hours today dipping pretzels and making cookies. The sad thing is I still have lots more dipping, candy making, and cookie making to do. Christmas is coming way too fast!

So I did my snowman manicure yesterday just in case I would have to redo it. I am proud to say that I think I nailed it. I have to say I think this has probably been my favorite holiday manicure to date. 

Isn't he cute? 

I am not done.... I was searching online for snowman inspiration and I ran across a snowman manicure I just fell in love with over at The Nailasaurus. I just had to attempt it for myself....

Wait for it....

Bam! I nailed it! I am really proud of this manicure! 

I used Sinful Colors - Rain Storm for the base color 

Stamped on snowflakes with China Glaze - For Audrey

Sally Hansen - White On (For Mr. Snowman)

Sally Hansen - Grass Slipper (For the scarf and color on the hat)

Wet n Wild - 9.0.2.1.Orange (For the nose)

Pure Ice - Black Rage (For the buttons, hat, arms, eyes, mouth, and scarf)

HK Girl - Top coat

Here is what is left of the Challenge
