MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I hope everyone is having a fun Christmas! This is going to be a very short post because IT'S CHRISTMAS!

This manicure is just something simple I did with mostly acrylic paint. The only thing that is not paint are the studs(duh), and the red polish(Drool worthy, OPI Smitten With Mittens), and the white polish(a franken of a bunch of white polishes).

Hope you enjoy the manicure! Also, tell me what Santa brought you!

LynBDesigns - Lock, Shock, and Barrel: It's like the Joseph coat of polishes

I have my third LynBDesigns polish for you guys today from The Nightmare Begins collection, Lock, Shock and Barrel.  Lock, Stock and Barrel are those three trick or treaters that kidnap Santa Clause and take him to the Oogie Boogie's.  You know, the kids who in really life would avoid at all cost.  In the real world they would all be in jail by now.

This polish is a blue crelly PACKED with an assortment of small glitter.  If you can think of a colour it's probably in there.  Blue, pink, gold, green, red, it's all there.  It reminds me of candy!  This polish only needed 2 coats for full opacity.  It's a bit of a top coat om nomer so I had to use 2 coats of seche.  It was still a bit bumpy to the touch even though your couldn't really tell by just looking at it.  If you need it to be totally smooth then you may have to use a third coat.

If you would like a bottle of this you can head over to LynBDesigns Etsy shop.  Polishes retail from between $8-$10USD.  And if you order now through Sunday, and use the code CHICAGO you can get 50% of your purchase of $16 or more.

What was your favourite Halloween candy?  And if Halloween isn't a thing where you live, what is your favourite candy?

 NOTE: The colour is a tad darker when not directly under light. Closer to photo #1 and #3

Candy Cane Nails: A Journey of One Girls Love Affair With Striping Tape

Ooops so this was already published before but there was nothing in it.  But not to fret!  Now there is!

Anyways the lovely Ladies over at Show Me Your Topcoats are doing a Christmas challenge that happens once every other day until Christmas.   Now I'm participating in this like  <I then made a Lindsay Lohan joke that was really bad and made me feel sorry for her>.  I'll do the challenge when I can.

Anyway today's challenge was Candy Canes!  I've been wanting to do this for a while now so I jumped at it.  I did plain and red and white candy canes using Claire's Snowball and Fright Nights Claw Polish in Voodoo.  I used a combination of striping tape and, scotch tape for the lines.  I also made them uneven on purpose.  You know those candy canes that have some stripes larger than others.  I love how those looks!

I would add the InLinkz but it completely messes with the blog layout :(

Ps.  I don't really like candy canes.
Pps. All those candy canes that are in the photos were free.  You know take one from the basket.  I took 3 handfulls.  Merry Christmas suckers!
Ppps. I give them away when I see people.  See I'm only mildly horrible.
