I have not been feeling a lot of details lately so I went simple for the last few days.
Two coats Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas.
Two sheer coats Serum No 5 Forest Lights.
I dotted with Essie No Place Like Chrome and added a little blue bead in the middle.

I was in the layering mood and kept adding coats of anything that interested me!
I forgot to snap a picture of the two base colors which looked very cool together. The effect was lost after I added the glitter toppers.
I used 2 coats Zoya Dream and 1 sheer coat Nfu Oh Opal Nfu 51 as my base.
I added a coat of Zoya Maria Luisa and a coat of Serum No 5 Happy Special Day!

I decided to go with some stars! Even though there was nothing silent about the freezing rain/hail we got today! 🙂
I especially love how the gradient looks on my middle finger!

I sponged Sally Hansen Triple Shine Slick Black on the tips.
I stamped Bundle Monster plate BM 311 and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

I initially wanted to do this for the third theme of the Nail Polish Canada competition but I do not know if I really want to submit it.
It is exactly what I was going for, but something just does not look right.
I love peppermint bark. I love love love it, but I really only eat it during the holidays.
I used 2 coats Julie G White Orchid followed by 1 coat Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen.
I sponged with Milani Dark Coffee.
I finished with red and clear microbeads as the peppermint pieces.
Thoughts, please!!

I wanted to do some sponging and picked some polishes. Before I knew it, I had a globe manicure!
A plus, my first Sunsilk photo-bomb!
I used 2 coats Zoya Dream as my base and a sheer coat of Serum No 5 Forest Lights on my ring.
