Elf Nails

     So yeah, I know I haven't posted in a while but I have a really good reason for that. The sinus infection I battled the week before Thanksgiving...yeah it came back on me and I have been one really unhappy camper for the last two weeks. Let's just say I am going to be on antibiotics for like a month because this sinus infection is just awful. So sorry about the non-posting. But If it helps I have (and still am) fairly sick. I did manage to get in one Christmas manicure though so here it is. Today I have a Christmas Elves manicure to share with you. I saw someone on Instagram did an elf manicure that was similar and gave me the inspiration. ...But I can't remember who did the manicure so sorry about the lack of credit given, it wasn't to be malicious. I am just all germ infected and my memory sucks. I spent several hours trying to find out who, but to no avail. Also I had catastrophic nail failure and have nubs again for a little while. But anyway they did a similar manicure and gave me the inspiration for this one. So here it is.

What I Used:

China Glaze - Holly-Day

China Glaze - Gaga For Green

China Glaze - Salsa

Americana - Mustard Seed

Americana - White Wash

Ceramcoat - Black

    This is all free hand and actually pretty easy to do. Which is why I picked it on account of being the host of viral plague (at least in my sinuses). But seriously why to we have to have so many sinuses and why hasn't someone invented sinus reduction surgery. I could really use a few less sinuses about now. Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this manicure and have a safe, happy, and warm Christmas. I am going to go rest and try to feel better. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

Skittle Elf Manicure

     Today, I have a skittles elf manicure to show you guys. I saw a cute manicure by IHaveACupcake on YouTube (if you haven't watched her videos you should she's just thins side of brilliant), she had a christmas manicure that had one nail that was an elf and I liked the elf nail so much that I thought I would try an all elf manicure. And to keep from being boring I decided that I needed 5 different elf uniforms (one for each nail). I figured, "Hey, maybe each uniform color is a job specific color." So I ran with it. Perhaps the dark and light green are the toy maker elves (Senior and Junior elves respectively), and the red elves are the elves that help Santa make the deliveries. The yellow elves are the security elves and the blue elves take care of the reindeer and the sleigh. See I have a whole back story to support my manicure. Which really just means I have way to much spare time on my hands. So without any further ado here's the mani.

     So what do you guys think? Was my attempt at a skittle elf manicure a success or a failure? I like how it turned out. I would do a few things differently next time (like not use stiper pens they dry to bumpy) but over all I am happy with it. That's all I have for you guys today. I hope you have a safe and happy holiday and that you enjoyed this manicure. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.
