OPI - Piroutte My Whistle

Hey guys,

So a few days ago a got a whack of OPI polishes in the mail (thank you Beyond the Rack!) I can't remember if I told you guys yet or not but anyways I'm pretty much dying to swatch them all of you but that will most likely have to wait until the new year because themed mani's are pretty much whats in the schedule for the rest of the month.

That being said today's swatch doubles as a winter themed manicure. I toyed with calling this post "Glitter Snow Falling" but then decided that I might as well just post it as a swatch.

This is
OPI - Pirouette My Whistle
over top of OPI - Yoga-ta Get this Blue

The brushed glitter it beautiful and looks like snow falling in the night sky.

Dot Christmas Tree Manicure

Hey guys,

So I don't know about all of you but I have half a day left of work!! So excited to say GOODBYE to dress pants until the new year!! Today was a good day for surprise polishes! I wound up with 5 new polishes that I'll have to swatch soon although at the size of my swatch pile it may not be until the new year.

So I saw this dotted Christmas tree design on Instagram and couldn't wait to try it.

For this I used

China Glaze - Snow
Zoya - Holly
Zoya - Isla

Fire Tape Manicure

Hey guys,

So two and a half days left of work until the break! So exciting.
Right now I'm working on my Top Ten favourite polishes of 2012. Currently the list is sitting around 15 polishes. so I'll do my best to whittle that down and post that some time next week.

So I've been hating on tape manis for a long time. They never seem to work for me. 99% of the time I jump the gun and wind up pulling half my base off. This turned out pretty good though.

For this I used
China Glaze - Riveting
Kat Von D - Sparklehorse
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Black Out

Green Ornament Manicure

Hey guys,

So I got my baking done today! Okay "baking" may be a bit of a cop out considering I only made one type of cookie from scratch, the rest came from a package. Oh well as far as I'm concerned baking is baking! The guys will get what they're gonna get, and if they don't like it well then next year they get NOTHING haha. I don't know who I'm kidding.

Well I hope everyone is super stoked for Christmas! only 8 days away! (The countdown to Christmas on the ABC Family website MIGHT just be my favourite thing right now.) Memo to everyone it's also 8 Days until my birthday just incase anyone forgot! 

For this I used

Zoya - Holly
Quo Instant Artist - Platinum Glitter

White Jelly Sandwich

Hey guys,

So tonight I went and saw Rise of the Guardians. Omg I loved it so much! It's like a super amazing Christmas movie without actually being a Christmas movie. So awesome, and the elves are amazing.

Sorry this is going to be short and sweet, it's getting late and I'm totally distracted by Jay Ryan on Beauty & the Beast. Sorry guys! But here's my next jelly sandwich!

For this I used

OPI - Don't Touch My Tutu!
China Glaze - Lush & Luxe

Holographic Argyle

Hey guys,

So my Instagram secret santa present finally came today! Huge shout out to Roxette at That One Nail Blog who got my name. So exciting, she totally knocked it out of the park for me! I got 2 OPI's (Tomorrow Never Dies & Every Month is Oktoberfest) & China Glaze Ruby Pumps (which I've only been lusting over for AGES!) I'll swatch these for you guys soon! along with the three amazing polishes I got the cutest set of nail clippers (the toenail clippers are shaped like a foot and are zebra print... WHAAAAATTTT sorry I'm clearly still so excited) And two different sized emery boards.

Okay I need to move on before my head explodes. Okay so this was kind of a botched attempt at an Argyle pattern. The white needs to be dotted but whatever I won't dwell on it. I still like this

For this I used

Nfu Oh - 64
Nfu Oh - 65
Orly Instant Artist - Crisp White




(p.s. if you wanna follow me on instagram knock yourself out @puckzilla23 just a disclaimer that its my personal account so it's a lot of random stuff, pictures of my dog, my horses and then some nail pics as well. You've been warned)

OPI - DS Bold

Hey guys,

So this was a polish I bought along with Indulgence. I was looking for a red sparkly polish to wear to my christmas party. Bold initially jumped out to me on the shelf, yet when I got it home my reaction was umm WTF this is pink. Still pretty but still pink. I needed red. Obviously I ended up going with Indulgence. It's funny cause in these pictures it has a definite red-tone to it but in person it gets lost. I would need to put it side by side with a Pink equivilent. Like I said though, still pretty.
