Hello lovelies!

The first polish that I'm showing you guys today, is Flannel Surfing! This polish has a faded blue base that is filled with orange, grey, and turquoise glitters. These swatches are two coats (I think) of polish plus a coat of topcoat.

I think this polish is awesome! The color combination happening here is so unique and it really does remind me of flannel pajamas. This polish makes me want Autumn, because you can wear scarves and sweaters without a jacket and drink lots of coffee....and who am I kidding, I drink a lot of coffee year round....but seriously. This polish is literally Autumn in a bottle.

Next up is Will Yule Marry Me?

Will Yule Marry Me? is a deep blue, glitter crelly that is filled with a ton of silver, holographic glitters. I'm showing you guys two coats of this plus a layer of Glossy Glam.

This polish is so unbelievably pretty! It's blue, it has glitter, and it sparkles like crazy. I mean how can you beat that? That's right, you can't! This polish was created in collaboration with Chelsea of The Nail Network and was inspired by her Christmas Eve engagement, which is really cool.

Now, onto the nail art!

This was another design that I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I just winged it! Stripes and studs seemed like a good idea at the time, so that's what ended up on my nails.

These nails started with two (or three) coats of Flannel Surfing and a layer of Glossy Glam. Then using my black acrylic paint and striping brush,  I added on the stripes down the right side of my nails. The studs were added by dabbing some topcoat onto the base of my nails and placing them using tweezers. Everything was sealed in with another layer of Glossy Glam.

Last up is the design I did with Will Yule Marry Me?

This was another design that I have no idea where it came from. I knew that I wanted to paint rings on my nails and Will Yule Marry Me? seemed like it would be a great base for them!

These nails started with two coats of Will Yule Marry Me? and a layer of Glossy Glam. Then using white acrylic paint and my detail brush, I freehanded on the rings. Everything was sealed in with another layer of Glossy Glam.
