I had all of these plans for blog entries to cap off 2015. Of course, I managed to catch a pestilence that laid me low the day after Christmas (small favors that it held off that long I guess!) So all my plans were for naught and I am late getting this post written. I still think this is relevant information, however, so read on to find out what products I fell in love with this year!
I generally prefer more traditional colors when it comes to doing winter and Christmas nails, but I decided to step outside of my comfort zone for this manicure and I am really glad I did. This mani has a lot going on, so sit tight!
Recently when browsing Born Pretty Store, I saw that they now offered chevron striping tape. I’m a huge fan of chevron nail styles, so I went ahead and picked up a roll to try out. This is the first mani I’ve use them on!
I was gifted four of the Color Club Fall 2015 Cabin Fever polishes recently by a friend who knows I have a love for odd, non-traditionally pretty colors. I am happy to report that these polishes did not disappoint!
Back in July the Today show collaborated with Color Club and had some phenomenal deals on 7-piece sets. One of the sets available was the Spring 2015 Shift Into Neutral set – being both a lemming for neutral polishes and a fan of Color Club in general, I could not resist grabbing these. So I am many months late on this review, but considering that these colors work perfectly for Fall, I thought it was a good idea to give them a good once-over!
I cannot believe I forgot to post about this mani! This one was done for my #mommysmanimonday group and the prompt was to use both neon and pastel polish in a single mani. I did a mix of dotticure and chevron.
I was so busy doing my swatching posts that I completely forgot to update with my manicures along the way! The prompt for my #mommysmanimonday group a couple of weeks ago was Matte & Shiny. I had big plans for this mani. Huge!
This is one of those manis that I have seen a number of other nail artists do and I just hadn’t gotten around to trying it yet (which is shameful of me, because it turned out so beautiful). Once again, Color Club holographics are amazingly versatile!
Here is your one thing to know about me for the day: I am not a fan of neon colors. Despite that, I still have a few for obscure reasons. When I saw that Nail It magazine was looking for neon submissions, I gritted my teeth and put this mani together. (LOL)
I love the Color Club holographic polishes. I mean, I am a big fan of their polish in general, but their holographic polishes are masterpieces. They are practically one-coat polishes, they water marble and stamp and they have that huge holo payoff. It’s hardly a wonder that when I went bling on my fingers, their holo polishes are the first place I turn to!
