Here’s another cute idea for your Christmas Nails. Paint a Red Tip, apply a green bow and glitter is optional. Now you are ready for some Christmas cheer.
Can’t paint? Do worry here are some cute wee decals available from Amazon to complete the look 😉
Christmas New Year Theme Nail Art Stickers Decals – 5 pack Mixed Design
Ok, thanksgiving has gone so now it’s time to think about Christmas Nails. I just had to share this video. Maybe get some friends together and have a pre- silly season party to do each others nails.
This is the cutest thing, Polka Dot nail art with a background of 2 colours blending in from a dark colour at the top of the nail to a lighter color at the base. I love the colours used here, but others would look equally as stunning.
In this video the colors used are:
OPI Alpine Snow
Essie Turquoise & Caicos
MASH Professional 15 piece Nail Art Brush Kit Set
currently $9.99 subject to change
Still with a Thanksgiving theme, here is a water marble art tutorial for your nails. In the lovely fall/winter toning’s of oranges and browns your nails will stand out at the office or dinner table this year.
Let me know if you try this one 🙂
I’m going WOW over this one… do you have some Wavy Scissors, Sellotape, bright nail colors and a black for over the top. This does not look like it would be too hard for home. You could also try different shaped scissors like the ones below. What fun.
Let me know what you think……

It all started about 3 months ago, my Moms friend (in her late 60’s) showed my Mom ( in her late 70’s) her Shellac manicured nails. Well next thing I know Mom is in the salon getting her nails done, just to see if was worth it.
Now my Mom’s nails are short, to the skin and have a tendency to brake easily. Also, normal nail polish has proved to be a waste of both time and money, peeling, flaking and looking yucky within 2 days of getting them done. The problem is the battering we women give our nails by housework, food preparation, gardening and all the other things that go on in our busy lives. So it was with great glee and pride that Mom showed me her freshly done nails about 2 months ago. She said that it was a trial run to see how it worked, and ‘would be happy if it lasted a week’ . My cousins wedding was coming up and Mom wanted her nails to look at least passable, if not great… yup even 70 year old’s want to look good 🙂
Well the week passed, then another one and then another, so after 3 weeks with no peeling or flaking Mom decided that this was the best thing that had happened to her nails in the last 70 odd years. The only issue was the growth of the nail from the base which wasn’t too noticeable due to the light flesh color that she had chosen, so she decided that leaving them a full 3 weeks was a ‘bit too long’.
So off she went again to get them done, success…
Now, off course with that glowing recommendation I had to follow suit and mine have now been on for nearly 2 weeks. For am again, the only issue I have is nail growth, so it’s nearly time to get them done again
I think I may get them done professionally again, just to see what they do, but of course being an avid DIYer have done a search and found out what I need to do it at home. You do need more ‘stuff’ than for the usual manicure ( including a UV light box for ‘curing’ the polish), but I found a great source on Amazon.
Note: I will posting removing Shellac Nail Poslish shortly

One of the best things that I like about Amazon is the reviews. Many shoppers love helping others out, whether it be to advise on how good a product is, or how bad, how the product lived up to the customers expectations, would they buy it again, or not.
After finding an article on colour changing polish I thought I would give it a go, so I’ve been searching on Amazon.
One brand I found had bad reviews so I kept on searching. The reviews on this product from Del Sol weren’t wonderful, but good enough. As some the polishes viewed required a change in body or air temperature I think that any issues with the colours not changing drastically may be due to other factors and not just the polish. At least this one states that the colour changes due to sun(light).

I would love to hear of your experiences with polish that changes colour.
Is it starting to get cooler where you are? Here’s some more inspiration for Fall or Thanksgiving nails and then the start of the countdown to Christmas is soon to start.
This video shows a cute style in warm oranges and green leaves.

These nail effects using magnets over 1 coat of nail polish are amazing. I have had it done to my nails and loved the 3D effect… These ones from Sally Hansen look great so view the video note the bar that sits on the top of the finger, holding the magnet the correct distance over the nail. That has got to be so much easier than guessing! Also it will help keeping the look consistent over your other nails
