Merry Christmas and a Festive Mani!

Good morning and Merry Christmas!  My family woke up bright and early to start opening presents.  The kids have already played with most of their new toys and now are settling down to build Lego play sets.  I made a fun breakfast of eggs and rainbow sprinkle pancakes.  They turned out cute and were super yummy!  Of course I made enough to feed an army, oops.  Anywho, I wanted to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas.  Hope your day is full of laughter and love and memories that you will always cherish.  I'll be heading off to my parents house soon but not before I take a minute to share my Christmas mani.  I found this idea on pinterest, looks like it was created by @iloveyou432 (maybe that's an instagram or twitter name?).  Well I took the idea and made it my own - hope you like it!

*nothing to disclose*

I used 8 polishes to create this mani so I will provide the main website link for each brand instead listing out all the social media links.  I did a different design on each finger and love how happy they all turned out!  It's like a party on my nails!  Here's my party lineup - Gingerbread Man, Snowman, Santa, Christmas Tree and Snowflake.

Bad Girl is another nod to a Madonna song, one that I am actually unfamiliar with.  To keep in sync with my other posts here is the video for Bad Girl (OMG is that Christopher Walken in the video??  He is awesome!)!  Bad Girl was release in 1992 on the Erotica album.  Now that you know the background of the song let's talk about the polish.  Bad Girl is an amazing color shifting polish that shows many colors and sparkle!  Here's Carrie's

description of Bad Girl, "it is a green polish base that can shift from deep violet, to purple, to blue, to turquoise, to green, to olive! It NEEDS to be layered over black for best effect but 3 coats alone can be opaque."  It's pretty amazing!   I have Bad Girl shown over 2 base colors and the difference is pretty awesome!  The first pictures are Bad Girl over 2 coats of Finger Paints A Tough Art To Follow.  ATATF is a dusty deep olive green creme.  I used it because I thought it matched the prominent color shown in Bad Girl.  Over TATF I see lots of green and gold and a bit of teal.  I have 2 coats of ATATF and then 1 coat of Bad Girl.  The formula on Bad Girl is wonderful.  So easy to apply and gorgeous.  It's sparkly and metallic at the same time!  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.

Here are some pictures of Bad Girl over CND Dark Amethyst.  Dark Amethyst is a deep plum creme.  I used 2 coats of Dark Amethyst and 1 coat of Bad Girl.  You can see how over the purple different colors are prominent.  I see more purple, teal, olive green and a burgundy red around the edges.  So lovely and fun!  I used 1 layer of topcoat here as well.

6 Harts Polish Summer Skies

I'm excited to show you another 6 Harts Polish!  I really like the last one I reviewed, Cloud Sculptures, and this one is equally as well made.  Summer Skies really captures the essence of a beautiful blue summer sky.  Courtney was inspired by Montana summers and that big blue sky!  With this beautiful polish on and snapping pictures in the sunlight, I am longing for hot summer days!  

I'd say Summer Skies is a shade darker than baby blue and quite a lovely color!  Summer Skies is a nice creamy formula and it applied very nicely.  What I liked best about Summer Skies was the golden shimmer.  You can also see flashes of aqua and green shimmer.  I used 2 coats of Summer Skies for full coverage.  For a little extra flare I sponged CND 24K Sheer Sparkle on my tips to play off the shimmer.  I think they worked well together, don't you?  And that one "streak" of gold reminds me of a ray of sunshine.  1 layer of top coat for smooth, glossy nails.

You can purchase 6 Harts Polish on etsy and can follow them on Facebook for updates.
