Merry Christmas Manicures

Hello Everyone!  Hope you are not going crazy trying to get last minute gifts.  I am preparing to go visit my family for a few weeks.  It's nice, but my hubby will be at home so will definitely miss him!  I scored a nice christmas gift though!!  Diamonds are a girls best friend!

Jennifer over at www.bornprettystore.com has been kind enough to send me some product to review.  I will post a review after I receive it.  She has given me a coupon code for my users to use TALES19.  If you use that code and 5 people order, she will do a giveaway on the site.  Score!  They have free shipping worldwide!!!!


I have done a few different christmas mani ideas for you.  I've posted some pictures and a video.  A special treat on the video is that I am singing Merry Christmas Darling.  Hope you like it!  I don't know if I'll be able to post until after January 7th.  If I don't see you before then, then have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!

Santa Hat Toe Mani & Heat & Snow Meiser

Ok, so I was messing around and trying some stuff.  I can't believe I'm actually showing you a picture of my toes.  I do not have attractive feet. But, here it goes.  I tried santa hats on my toes.  I'm in a hurry right now, so probably would have come out better if I had taken more time. But, painting on my toes is so hard for me position wise.  Anyway, here they are.

Now, here is heat and snow meiser.  I love A Year without a Santa Clause.  Heat looks good but Snowy.....talk about a challenge. I don't think I did him justice but I thought I'd show you anyway.

Santa Hat Mani

Hi All,

I have to say, that without my nails, it's been hard for me to be inspired. I finally cut them completely off to start from scratch.  I am however really tempted to get acrylics or something like that (even an overlay). Because, it was so difficult to keep my nails long, especially on both hands.  I just hate the idea of having to go get them done.  I'm really curious about that OPI product (clear overlay).  I just really feel like if I'm gonna go that realm that I might learn how to do it myself.  But, darn I miss my long nails. My main thing has always been to do nail art.  The longer the nails, the more options for drawing on them.  I really don't have a lot of judgments against fake nails, it just seems like a lot of bloggers try to do it the natural nail way.  But, I also agree that not everyone has the genetics for that.  I don't know, maybe I'm just hormonal lol.  Talk me down or tell me about your experiences with fake nails.  Help me out people.

Ok, deep breath.....Here is my new mani.  I used a type of double sided tape and pressed some nails on temporarily.  I did several different santa hats to hopefully help inspire you.  If you click on the pictures, they will get bigger so you can see more detail.
