Last-minute Christmas Nail Art

Hi beauties,
Christmas is so close now and I know that Christmas nails, for me, add extra holiday cheer. Here are some nail tutorials for your last-minute Christmas nails!

1. Very Easy Santa Hat Nails
This is great if your not the best nail artist. It looks so effective and cute!

2. Sparkly Christmas Glitter Nails
This is for you if you are looking for a super pretty and elegant look.

3. Santa and Elf Suit Nails
These are super cute yet super easy!

Also you can achieve very gorgeous nails with OPI's Pure Lacquer Nails Apps. They are pre-cut nail strips made from pure nail lacquer. These four designs are ideal for the festive season;

Floating Dragon

Nice Tux

Positively Shocking

 

Shaken Not Stirred

NOTD (Nails of the Day) - Citrus Orange

Hi guys,
Sorry for not posting lately as I have been extremely busy and Blogger has been mucking up on me. So anyway, I want to show you my nails. The theme is citrus orange. The colour of my nails are so bright and perfect for Summer. Here they are!

The products I used were (in order): Misa Nail Lacquer in Bang!, Glam Nails Nail Enamel in Fantasy , Nicole by OPI in Fresh Squeezed and Avon UV Gloss Guard Top Coat.

Product Alert: OPI Spookettes Set

Here about the latest product before and when they hit the shelves!


From my recent travels, I picked up a very special product that I haven't even received the press release about yet. It is...

OPI Spookettes! Four mini OPI nail lacquers and the best thing is that one GLOWS IN THE DARK! This is great for Halloween.

Shades (from left to right):

He's my Boo

Mummy Knows Best

I only date Werewolves

Zom-body to Love

I absolutely love the quirky names. I really like how they are out there shades. To be honest, I really wouldn't spend $20 on He's my Boo in full size as I prefer to wear different colours. But as a Halloween colour, I love it. I don't know how much this retails for and when it is going to come out but I know I got it in Hawaii for $10.99. I am now hoping I have a Halloween event taking place this year so I can wear my nail polishes. The product also comes with spooky nail decals. How cool!

Nail Polish Update: Femme de Cirque

Yes another Nail Polish Update on OPI. A new range is coming to your stores soon wrapped in candy floss and popcorn. The OPI Circus is coming to town to entertain you. Femme de Cirque is inspired by the circus and "radiated an uber-sophisticated and classy French chic". The colours are based on the popular preference for a neutral palette at 2011's New York Fashion Week; this colour selection as a nail polish shade will be a huge trend throughout the rest of the year. This range is the feminine version of nude nails.

There are four shades;

I Juggle ...Men

This is a nude pearlescent shade with a hint of lavender and expresses the clown in a modern day woman.

In The Spot-Light Pink

This polish is a delicate and almost translucent shade of pale pink, capturing the essence of the circus life.

So Many Clowns... So Little Time

This is a pale creamy shade of off white and the name of this is an adjustment to a well - known phrase!

 Step Right Up!

A true circus phrase in an opaque shade of pale pink.

The lacquers feature the exclusive OPI Prowide Brush for the ultimate application.

I truly love these colours. I need a nude shade and am definitely going to get a polish from this collection. Trust me, we don't have to wait long. This collection is coming to selected beauty salons and David Jones for $19.95 each from the 1st of August. We have less that one month to go. Let's start the countdown!
