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.
Inspiration: ColorProducts: Julep Ingrid and Tatiana
Thoughts: I wanted to do a horizontal stripe of Tatiana across each nail, but my painter's tape (which is amazing), was pulling up Ingrid even though it had been on for half an hour. I ended up just topping Ingrid with Tatiana, but even after two hours, Ingrid still seems to be wet.
Inspiration: ColorProducts: Color Club On the Rocks and Top Shelf
Thoughts: I love metallics on my toes, and even though it is cold and my feet are mainly covered, I had to put these two colors immediately on after receiving them in a swap.
Inspiration: November Rainbow Honey Mini Mystery BagProducts: Rainbow Honey Aurora and Grayscale
Thoughts: I didn't acheive as much of an ombre as I was hoping for; I probably should have reversed the colors, though. These are two excellent glitters, though - both full coverage in one coat.
Inspiration: ColorProducts: Julep Stefani and Oxygen Smoothing Base Coat
Thoughts: I was trying to imitate a sweatshirt I had with my nails, and this actually turned out really well. My secret? Painter's tape!
