Christmas nails!

So I'm very awful and haven't posted anything in a while, but it's not like I have people waiting to read my blogs and freaking out when I haven't done anything. Soo here are some Christmas nails I've done!

The purple ones were done with the Nicole by OPI Merry Must Have Minis set, which I got as a gift. They remind me of Justin Bieber...haha. The bottom picture is of the Sally Hansen nail stickers, which have worked out pretty well this time. My right hand (dominant) looks pretty crappy but overall it's okay!

Glitter Fade Nails

 

OBSESSEDDDD! This is one of my favorite nail arts ever. I'd try to explain it, but you can just watch this video instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_QwFf5wvHM it's not mine..but it's pretty much exactly what I did using a few coats of a limited edition Maybelline metallic light purple color that was really sheer and an old OPI limited edition holiday glitter that has like micro-micro fine glitters. 

What's in my Nail Kit!

 Back Row, L to R: OPI Avoplex cuticle oil, Seche Natural clear coat (a kind of sucky matte top coat..I'll use it on my dad), Revlon Clear Fast Drying Top Coat, Sally Hansen Nail Nutrition, Nail Polish thinner from Sally's (use this on goopy/old nail polish), a cheap 3-sided nail buffer, a nail file, Vaseline (for water marbling), a makeup sponge (various uses like gradient nails), cotton ball (really just for removing polish), Q-tip for cleaning up edges. The pink thing was from Bath and Body Works a long time ago and has a cuticle trimmer, nail clippers, cuticle pusher, and a metal nail file that I never use. It also came with nail scissors but I never ever use those. I hate them.

This stuff is so cool! I love it, and I was so happy it worked. I was skeptical...I mean it just sounded too awesome to work for me. But when I got home last night after a singing at a freezing football game, I came home to find this on my bed (my mom likes to surprise me with little presents..I like it too.) Anyhow, instead of having me explain this to you, watch this super-helpful video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqas6ym_BuU

Nail Art #9- Sparkles!

Pretty self explanatory. Essie French Affair, with craft glitter on the pointer fingers. So fun!

My New Weird Obsession With Really Short Hair

I don't even know why. I'm pretty sure if I cut my hair like this everyone would think I'm a lesbian, which I am not. 

 

Matte Nail Polish

This summer, I bought a color that I was absolutely obsessed with, but alas, it was a fall color and I couldn't use it. So I finally used it yesterday, and it looked reeeeeally cool. But problem. It's matte. I have no matte top coat. I can't use a topcoat. It chips. Crap. So I use this stuff I bought a few weeks ago to try with it called Seche something or another, and it's a matte "nail treatment," not topcoat. So on top of the Revlon Matte Suede in Emerald City (which they totally stole from Sally Hansen...and the Wizard of Oz...) I put this matte stuff. And now I hate it. I'm really mad. The first picture is with flash, the second is without. I wish I didn't put that on top, but oh wells, you never know. I might put another coat of the polish on tomorrow, since it'll be even more chippy. But I reallllly love the color.
