Trees & Snow

Hm, apparently I only did my nails twice this past week.  

First I did this red and green look. I used the Nailside tutorial for the abstract tree using striping tape and loved it! The red is Essie "Ruby Slippers", the tree is A England "Saint George" and the litter is a Rite Aid snowman one.

Then I did this snowflake look. I'll post the tutorial below that inspired me. Yes, she did a much better job! I was a bit sloppy but didn't care, I really liked the overall look. I used Milani "Peach Creme" as the base and then Julep "Kate" for all of the white.

Rainbow Theme: Red + Orange

Let the rainbow theme begin! A group of nail bloggers will be blogging our favourite polishes in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink this week. This was Lacquer Dreams' idea!

Today I have both red and orange for you.

My favourite red polish is Essie "Ruby Slippers'. A gorgeous red jelly with red glitter. This is two coats and then I did the tips with Julep "Kim", a dark gunmetal shade.

My favourite orange (at the moment anyway!) is Julep "Sasha". This is one of the newer shades and I think that it is a very wearable orange. Orange is a hot nail colour right now and I know it can be intimidating to some but check this one out. I really think anyone can pull of this particular shade.

I started with a base of Julep "Pippa", added striping tape and then did one coat of Julep "Sasha". I love this look!
