Themed Thursday: Winter Wonderland featuring ILNP

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today is the last day of Themed Thursday for January! The theme today is Winter Wonderland so I busted out some ILNP holos for my take on a winter wonderland.

I started with a gradient of Cozy Mittens and After Midnight. Then I used Ski Lodge to draw some pine trees. The brush I was using was a bit stuff and it happened to make sort of perfect, textured looking branches for the trees!

So here's the thing: I freaking loved this manicure. I was shocked at how simple and easy it was and obviously the holo polish made it sparkle beautifully but I was stoked at the outcome of this little nail adventure!

Themed Thursday: Snowman

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today is Thursday and that means Themed Thursday! The theme for today is Snowmen so I bring you this adorable little snowmani (ha, get it?!) that I found on Pinterest via Hellogiggles.com.

For my base color, I used Zoya Rowan, from the Transitional collection for 2015. This was two coats and I was actually really surprised at how much I enjoyed this color. It's suede/taupey color and was opaque and even in two coats. I then used Zoya Purity to draw the snowmen bodies and dots and Willa for the eyes, mouth, and arms. Finally, I drew a gold heart using Zoya Ziv.

My snowmen look a little nervous, lol! Still, I think they are super cute and I'm totally digging this neutral color combination!

Themed Thursday: Penguins

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

It's time for another Themed Thursday and this week we are talking penguins. I chose to recreate this manicure by LittleBearCakes.

I started with OPI My Pal Joey for my base color (two coats, this has a really nice formula!), then I dotted Make Light of the Situation on all of my fingers but my ring finger. I used My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the penguin body and dotted Russian Navy Suede for the eyeballs and You're A Pisa Work with a toothpick for his beak and feet.

His beak is a little wonky but I love him! I think he's so cute and I named him Herbert.

Themed Thursday: Snowflakes

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

One of my resolutions for 2016 is to further my nail arting, so my BTN buddy convinced me to join the Themed Thursday prompts that Kelli Marissa (formerly The Nail Polish Challenge) and Wondrously Polished host.

Every Thursday, there is a different prompt, much like we do on Twinsie Tuesday. The first theme is Snowflakes!

To be quite honest, I didn't really want to do Snowflakes because I just did them not too long ago but I wanted to participate so I sucked it up, lol.

I used Glam Polish Zoom! (the blue) which was 2 COMPLETELY PERFECT coats. I used 2 coats of Welcome to the 60's on my ring and middle fingers and then dotted Zoom! in a (sort of) snowflake pattern, lol. I did use two coats of topcoat for Welcome to the 60's, as it was a bit textured.
