Bells of Holly

Another holiday theme!!

You will need:

• Le Chat Ultra Bond BaseCoat
• NYC in Plush Platinum
• Joe in Jade
• Some red gems or beads
• Toothpick
• Le Chat Ultra Fast Dry TopCoat

 1.  Start with a pearly base colour.  I had to use about 3 coats of Plush Platinum.

2.  Dab on the side with a green polish.  You don't have to be neat.  Make sure you get some jagged looking edges.

3. While the green is still wet, use a toothpick to pick up your gems/beads and place them on.  Again, you don't have to be neat.  Top coat over it all to seal it.

4.  To make a tree, you do the same as before but make a triangular shape as opposed to dabbing on the side.  I added a yellow gem at the top of the tree.  It would look better with a star gem.

Deck the halls with bells of holly!  Fa la la la la la la la....

Tiffany's Manicure

My playlist on my iTunes is on random.  It played Breakfast at Tiffany's and I thought, I had to do it.  I bought a Tiffany's inspired colour a while ago and usually wear it on it's own.  Let's do something more fancy.

What you will need:

• China Glaze For Audrey (creamy "Tiffany's" colour)
• Rimmel Nail Tip Whitener (creamy white)
• Rimmel Super Wear Top Coat
• Thin paintbrush
• Manicure aid stickers
• Clear decorative beads or gems (I got mine from the dollar store)
• 60 mins

And I said, "What about breakfast at Tiffany's??"

1. You can paint a base coat if you'd like.  Use tape or a manicure aid sticker to help guide you in painting the tips. My manicure aid stickers are from Sally Hansen bought at Walmart.

2. Paint the tips a Tiffany's colour. Don't worry about getting it on the guides, it's suppose to help you.

3.  Now paint diagonal lines with white polish and a thin paintbrush.  The thinner the better.  A steady resting hand is the trick.

4.  Remove the tape and it should look something like this.  You can leave it like this and add a top coat.  Or you can get fancy!!

4.  Paint over the entire nail with a top coat.  Use a thin paintbrush/toothpick/paperclip to attach small decorative beads on the border and other areas while it's still tacky.  Paint over the entire nail again with a top coat to seal it.

5.  You can change up the decorative beads on different nails too!  You don't have to follow my instructions exactly.  I made a booboo on my ring and pinky finger.  Mistakes happen =P

She said, "I think I remember the film, And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's one thing we've got."

Good luck! =)
