I honestly think this turned out way better than I anticipated.
I had so much fun with this! If you guys have any fun Christmas challenges, or you would like to start doing this one, post your pictures on my facebook wall!

I am in love with these two polishes!
I bought Nail Junkie a while ago. Harper came with my December Julep Maven box. When I saw it I was in love!
And then I was like...wait a second. I have definitely seen this before.
The difference? Nail Junkie is just a HAIR darker. All nails are three coats with 1 coat Seche Vite. Any guesses as to which is which?
Pointer and ring are Harper.
Middle and pinky are Nail Junkie.
What do you guys think?
I love cupcake nails. Perfect for Birthdays!
Step#1: Paint your nails your choice of color. I did two different colors.
Step#2: Draw a line dividing your "icing" and wrapper.
Step#3: Paint the bottom half if your cupcake the color of your wrapper. I chose brown but you could use any color.
Step#4: Using a dotting tool (or bobby pin, bottom of paint/makeup, whatever you can get your hands on.), make your icing hang over the edge of the wrapper by dotting the icing color on the dividing line.
Step#5: Give your wrapper some definition by highlighting the "crinkles." I used silver.
Step#6: Give that cupcake some sprinkles!
There you go! For my other nails I did streamers and a birthday present.
Polishes used:
Sally Hansen: Fuschia Bling Bling.
Sally Hansen Instadri: Lively Lilac.
Stripe Rite: Silver.
Nail Art by Diamond Cosmetics: Cocoa.
Klean color Nail Art: Sky Blue.
This is definitely one of my FAVORITE polishes. One coat honestly does it. I use two of course, just to make it really solid.
The brush is an awesome rounded thick tip, so there is really no cleanup needed!
They run around $4-$5 a piece, but they go a long way! I definitely recommend this product.
How many of you use this type of polish?
I am currently a Julep Maven (go to julep.com to join! Use the code PENNYINTRO so your first month costs you just a penny!}
In my box this month I got Amber and Nora.
Amber is a brownish beige that has alot of shimmer in it.
The application was pretty good. Not runny and it dried quickly. Which is good, I was nervous about not having my Seche Vite!
Let me know what you think! Nora is coming tomorrow :)
I decided to do some Halloween tutorials for you guys this week! This one is pretty easy :)
Products used: NYC: French Tip White, WNW: Sunny Side Up, Sally Hansen: Emerald City, LA COLORS: Black Velvet. And Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
Step #1: Put your base coat on. Let dry.
Step #2: Paint all your nails white. Let dry.
Step #3: Paint the orange on top of the white. Let dry.
Step #4: Using a dotting tool (this is what I used, you could use a nail art brush, bobby pin, etc.), make an eye on your soon to be pumpkin.
Step #5: Make the rest of your pumpkins face. Choose any design you want, it's your pumpkin!
Step #6: Using your green, make a little top to the pumpkin. Add a stem too :)
Thats it! Put your topcoat on to make everything nice and even.! Try it and let me see pictures! :)
