YOU POLISH: Christmas Decals

Pin It

You Polish Nail Decals

It's almost Christmas! Today I have a bunch of manis I created using You Polish's Christmas themed decals. Check them out below :]

Holly Berry themed decal nail art

I used the You Polish holly leaf decals on an accent nail with Zoya Chyna as the berries! I used 4 coats of Zoya Seraphina as the base color.

Christmas decal nail art

These You Polish Christmas decals remind me of cookies and cookie cutters! So I placed them on a white creme polish, Zoya Logan and China Glaze With Love. Then I used China Glaze I'm Not Lion and put some dots in the blank space.

Winter tree Christmas nail art

For this mani I used Zoya Robyn and a white creme to create a sky-like gradient. Then I placed some of You Polish's Christmas tree decals. Then I used a dotting tool to "pile up" snow in front of the trees and then dotted some falling snow in the sky.

Christmas tree and decal ornament nail art

I used a few different green polishes from Zoya and China Glaze for this manicure. I used a dotting tool to create a layered tree effect. Then, I used the You Polish silver Christmas ornament decals and hung them on the "tree".

Christmas ornament decal/stencil nail art

Last but not least, I used the You Polish white ornament decals as stencils. I used Killer Queen Varnish Reindeer Games/Deck the Halls as the base and layered Zoya Logan over. It didn't photograph as awesome as it looked but it was a fun idea :]

POLISH INFORMATION

GUEST POST: Lacey from My Boyfriend Hates Makeup: Neon Splatter Mani

Pin It Hello, lovely readers of Lace & Lacquers!

Your regularly scheduled Lacey is moving so she asked for a couple of guest posters.  I am your substitute Lacey for the day, LOL.  I wanted to come up with something bright and fun to match the usual tone on this site, so today I have a neon splatter/graffiti/whatever you want to call it mani for you!

First, I painted my nails a pale base color. This is Friends Forever, Right? from the China Glaze Giver collection. It may look white but it is the palest of the pale pinks.  This is three thin coats and topcoat.

After it dried, I tagged my boyfriend in for some lung power.  He used a dunkins straw for the splatter.  I used a rainbow of neons, including China Glaze, Sinful Colors and Nire's Desire, an indie company.  Clearly, this look requires some cleanup...

     

But, after you spend forever with an elf concealer brush and some acetone, you get an awesome finished look!

     

I wanted to end with this last pic, which is the tinfoil/back drop that was used for the mani.  I think it looks really fun and I actually used it as the background for my phone for a while.

Thank you, Lacey S, for letting me guest post! I hope yall enjoyed my splatter/graffiti mani!  If you'd like to come follow me, you can find me below.

Thanks for reading this post!
xoxo,
Lacey (C)

GUEST POST: Kacy from Glitter Galaxy: Ellagee ELL-sa

Pin It Hi guys!! I'm visiting from over at Glitter Galaxy! I'm here to keep ya a little busy while my buddy Lacey gets all moved in! Let's get started shall we?
Tonight I have for you a special Ellagee polish. It's a group custom for a group of us ladies that are HUGE Ellagee fans! If that sounds like you, then you need to look it up on Facebook! This polish is called Ell-sa. Can you guess what movie that's based off of? Of course you can! ELL-sa is an absolutely perfect ice blue linear holo. My pictures are taken inside, but I can't wait to see these things glow in the sunlight tomorrow!

For my mani I used 3 coats of ELL-sa, however I could've got away with only using 2. I topped it off with my Ellagee Glass topcoat. The formula on ELL-sa was a breeze to work with and it was a fast drier as well. 

Just look at all of those rainbows!!! It would be the perfect shade of blue to match Elsa's dress in the movie Frozen. Ellagee is one of the sweetest indie makers that I've met, and she's quickly becoming one of my favorites! You can find Ellagee on Facebook and you can find her shop here. She has some pretty amazing polishes up her sleeve that you can view on her shop link that I posted above. Make sure you go check that out. One thing that I really like about her top coat, is I don't have any shrinkage or anything like that! 

That's all I have for tonight. I'm headed to bed so I can get up early and get some Thanksgiving side dishes baked even though I have to work. I wish you and all of your family a very safe and blessed Thanksgiving! Until next time, take care!! XOXO

XXXX,

 and Kacy

GUEST POST: Tia from Iced Lacquer: Essie Stripe Nail Art

Pin It

Hi Lace & Lacquer readers! While Lacey is moving I'm going to be helping out by doing some guest posting for her! If you've never read my blog before my name is Tia and I run Iced Lacquer. Since the holidays are quickly approaching (oh man, Thanksgiving is THIS WEEK!) I thought it would be fun to do a look that is just a tiny bit festive. I also wanted to do something a little bit more fun than my usual swatch photos. Let's get to it!

For this stripey look I was totally inspired by a post from Globe & Nail, which she actually posted right around this time last year! I am not great with striping tape, but I really like how she made the sections irregularly spaced. It meant I didn't have to panic when my sections weren't perfectly even as I put down pieces of striping tape.

I had three recent Essie purchases sitting on my desk and thought they seemed pretty fitting! I started with two coats of the nude/tan "Take It Outside" and painted on my stripes with "Bahama Mama" and "The Perfect Cover Up."

Pictured from left to right these are "Take It Outside," "The Perfect Cover Up," and "Bahama Mama."

I goofed up in a couple of spots, but overall I'm pretty happy with this look! It kind of reminds me of a Christmas scarf lol! I like how the stripe colors are tones of red and green, which totally make me think of Christmas, but aren't super traditional true red and green shades. It's a bit more muted and subtle, especially when I look at it from a distance.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this look and my guest post! You can find me on most social media sites as Iced Lacquer, but I'm most active on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I also co-host a podcast with my friend Courtney called Nail Newscast if you're into those! ;)

Thanks for having me, Lacey! And thanks for reading!

Love,

 

AND TIA!
