Happy New Years!

These aren't anything really that special or "New Years" themed. I just wanted something bright, glittery and fun on my nails, plus all but one of these are polishes I got for Christmas.

The glitter on my ring finger is the one that was purchased by myself, and it is KB Shimmer- Hexy Bikini (6th Anniversary Collection). This a textured polish, and it is amazing of course since it is KB Shimmer. It is primarily silver holographic glitters, but has a lot of blues, pinks, and purples as well which is why I paired it with these other polishes.

The cremes are all Barry M. My fiance's sister goes to school in London, and was previously living in Northern Ireland the last like 5 years, so she got me one of these for Christmas like 2 years ago, and 2 of them for Christmas this year. The one on my index finger is Mint Green, which is part of their regular nail paint line, and was two easy coats. The bright blue on my index finger is Guava (Gelly Hi-Shine Collection). I have wanted to try these for so long, and now I know why all the UK girls rage over these! This one was nearly a one coater, but I used two coats here. Formula was perfect, and it dried super shiny! Now we will have to see if it stains. The purple on my pinky is Prickly Pear (Gelly Hi-Shine Collection). This one was a little thinner, but covered the nail in two easy coats. It also dried super shiney. I am definitely going to have to send some money over with her to get some more!

I painted the glitters over the chevron Nail Vinyls after applying a fast drying top coat. All these glitters were gifted to me by my Keithland. I never ask for polishes as gifts, but this year I gave him a list and links, and he got me a bunch of indies! These three are all from Glam Polish's Mid-Winter's Dream Collection for Winter. I loved every polish from this collection, but figured I would put these 3 to better use. The names form index to pinky are:

Polar Lights
Below Zero 
Whirlwind

I used a thickish coat to get these opaque, but I am sure if you wore these on their own they could cover in 2 coats.

Hope you enjoyed these and had a fun and safe New Year's celebration!

Simple Swatch + Chevron Accent

This isn't your most traditional "holiday" themed nails, but it was released last year as part of Superchic Lacquer's holiday collection, and I managed to snag one this year:

Superchic Lacquer- Ugly Sweater Party

I used three coats here. I could have done two coats, but I felt I could still see my nail line, so three coats it was. The formula is awesome. It is a very sheer grey crelly base on the first coat, but it builds up wonderfully on the second coat. It has tons of green and blue glitters in various sizes as well. Such a beautiful combo!

On my ring finger, I applied two coats of Ooh La Lacquer- Complimint 2.0, applied a fast drying top coat, and layed down chevron NailVinyls. Then I applied one thickish coat of Ooh La Lacquer- I ain't Fraid of No Ghost (Ghostbuster's Halloween Collection 2014).

Superchic Lacquer's site is currently closed for the holidays, but you can get Ooh La Lacquer on Etsy, but these polishes are currently unavailable.

Gold and Magenta Skittle

I am not the best at describing color names, but I would say these colors are pretty close to magenta...This is just a simple skittle using some new polishes for Winter:

The polish that isn't really new is the gold on my middle and ring finger which is Mod Lacquer- UFO Cover-Up (Above Top Secret Collection 2014). I used two coats for both fingers, then applied a fast drying top coat. Then using binder paper reinforcement stickers and Nail Vinyls, I placed them on the nail where I wanted, and painted one thick coat of Enchanted Polish- September 2014.

The awesome glitters/textured polishes on my index and pinky finger are both from KB Shimmer's Winter 2014 collection. The magenta is Turnip The Beet and the gold is Dressed To Gild. Both were really easy to work with. Dressed to Gild was slightly thicker and super glitter dense, but they were both two coats.

Stay tuned for my Thanksgiving Day nails! They are gonna pretty awesome.

Rainbow Chevrons

I mentioned in this post that I had an awesome idea using these nail vinyls, and I am just now getting around to editing the photos! Better late than never right?

Pretty awesome huh?

I  used the larger chevron stickers from Nailvinyls.

I just painted two coats of the middle color, added a top coat, placed the sticker down the middle of my nail, and painted the other two colors on either side! Here are the colors I used going from left to right:
