Thoughts: Plaid came back in 2014 in a big way, so why not celebrate NYE with some on my nails! I love this color combination and was very impress with the two brands I used that were new to me.

Thoughts: So I had a little trouble with Sugar Cube (white polishes and I never fully get along), so I had to remove it from all but my thumb. Because I like the green dots, I hastily painted the now bare nails with green on Christmas Eve Day. By Christmas Day, they were showing some edge wear, so I added some glitter to the tips. My nails are now totally festive!

Thoughts: I thought my mom and I needed some Christmas nails, and of my Christmas glitters, she picked Sugar Cookie because she had never seen round glitter dots before. As her favorite color is red, I based her nails with He's with Me and did mine in Sugar Cube. To help the glitter pop, I topped Sugar Cube with Champagne Toast first to add some gold to the white.

Products: Ruffian Ruffian Red, Rainbow Honey The Master
Thoughts: As soon as I saw The Master, I knew I wanted to layer it over Ruffian Red for the perfect Christmas toe. The Master has flecks of gold which really shine on top of Ruffian Red. The bottle of Ruffian Red I used was not the actual one from this month's Birchbox because I already had one; my Birchbox bottle is up FSOT here if anyone is interested.

December Rainbow Honey Mini Mystery BagProducts: China Glaze Silver Platinum, Rainbow Honey Woland, Art Club Nail Art Duo White and Black
Thoughts: This tutorial looked fun, and when I received my December Rainbow Honey Mini Mystery Bag, I knew I would have to incorporate Woland into it. To do so, I went with a silver background instead of black. The deep purple of Woland looks amazing over the silver, but appears more black in the pictures.
It has been MONTHS since I have received any nail polish in my Birchbox (clicking will take you through my referral link). Well, this month I did. If you have not figured it out already, Ruffian is my FAVORITE polish brand, and they are exclusive to Birchbox. This month, I received Ruffian Red, which I already have, so will be swapping or glittering, but I was still excited to see it in my box because this little bottle retails for the price of a month of Birchbox.
What other goodies did I get? Hayadi Relief Hair Mask, Manna Kadar LipLocked in Lucky, Mirenesse iCurl Secret Weapon 24Hr Mascara, SeaRX Microdermabrasion Face and Body Scrub
Inspiration: Solar Attraction on page 73 of the November/December 2014 issue of Nail It!Products: Julep Stefani and Bunny, Art Club Nail Art Duo White
Thoughts: The tutorial showed how to do a white-on-white sun, but as I cannot even draw a circle with my right hand, there was no way I could with my left, so I went with a simple star for the holiday season. Out of all the whites and greys I have, I went with these two because they both have gold microflecks, although they are more noticable in Stefani than Bunny.
