Falling for Nail Art: Bobbing for Apples

Hi everyone! For today's Falling for Nail Art challenge, the theme is "Bobbing for Apples". I decided to utilize the theme in all aspects of my mani, including the polishes chosen. I started off with a base of Essie Jelly Apple and then added a coat of Candy Lacquer Big Macintosh. I used Sally Hansen Limestone to make my Granny Smith Apples with accents of black, white, and Revlon Emerald. I just did accents of the apples because I really loved the combo of Jelly Apple and Big Macintosh. And of course, I had to be cheesy and use a real Granny Smith apple as my prop.

An apple is hella awkward for mani posing, but I sort of enjoyed the abstract shots I got. Thanks for looking everyone!

Advent Calendar Challenge Day 20: Sweets and Candy

Another challenge day, another Candy Lacquer! I was very excited about this mani and have been planning it since the beginning of the challenge. I started off with a base of OPI Sparrow Me the Drama and then topped it with Candy Lacquer Santa's Sprinkles. Santa's Sprinkles is a fine matte glitter with pink, red, lime green, and green glitter. It looks like candy in a bottle. Then I stamped candy from Bundle Monster plate 306 and a gingerbread man from Bundle Monster plate 222 for accent nails with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Whirlwind White.

 

 

Here was the mani before the stamping was added.

Advent Calendar Challenge Day 19: Ugly Sweater

Hi everyone! Sorry to have left you hanging for a bit on the Advent Calendar Challenge but I got super busy right before Christmas and then I went out of town on vacation for a week so I never had time to blog the rest of my manis for the challenge. So without further ado...here is the ugly sweater mani.

I used Candy Lacquer Mad for Plaid over Essie School of Hard Rocks for this mani. I thought the combo really fit the idea of an ugly Christmas sweater. And then the top coat bubbled to make it even uglier! Super... LOL! The polish really is cute and fitting of its name.
