I have been working on this for a couple of days and it finally came out the way I wanted!
I love, love, love, love this!
I used 3 coats Zoya Suvi as my base.
For the “decorations” I used Essie On a Silver Platter, No Place Like Chrome and Julie G “White Orchid”.

I am going to attempt to paint my nails every day for this holiday season!
For the first/second day I decided to go with a simple gradient. I really liked it by itself so I only added one little stamp to my ring finger.
I used three thin coats of Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen as my base. It is thin and streaky but it’s a great pearly white for my skin tone and I really love it.
I sponged with Essie Naughty Nautical and Zoya Suvi.
The stamp is from Bundle Monster plate BM 321 and Essie No Place Like Chrome.

My favorite part of the holidays is peppermint! I eat peppermint bark by the tin-ful and I regret nothing! 😀

Playing catch up and finally posting the picture but here is my submission for the third November NAIL theme.
I really love how this came out! It zips me away to a warmer place!
I was feeling a tropical theme so I used 2 coats of Essie Naughty Nautical as my base.
I stamped with Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas and Bundle Monster plates BM 310, 314, and 318.
I stamped the flying animals with Essie No Place Like Chrome and Bundle Monster plate BM 303, 313, and 315.

I played around with the waterfall technique and they looked like feathers so I decided to submit it for the Link-Up!
I especially like how the pinky came out!
I used 2 coats of butter London Tea with the Queen for the base.
