My Nails Of The Day 12/27

So this is what I decided to paint today. Started with just the purple but that was a little plain for me so I added some sparkle :)







So this is what I used; Nail Life Nail Revitalizer base coat, 2 coats of Revlon Top speed-Grape, 1 coat of China Glaze-Fairy Dust, all toppped off with Seche Vite top coat.





Thanks for reading!

First always start out with clean and filed nails and then start with your favorite base coat. At the moment I'm using Nail Life Nail Revitalizer. I gone through a few different kinds of base coats and haven't found one that i really loved yet but this one is pretty good :)

After Applying your base coat I went in with a brown color( A Perfect 10 - Talk Dirty) on both my ring fingers and painted about half way up leaving room for the antlers.
After painting the brown face I used my Miginailart pens in black and white to add eyes and the nose. I painted the nose white first so that the red would show up better.
After painting the nose white I painted it red(Nina Ultra Pro - Love Struck) just like Rudolph, along with the rest of my nails.
After painting the nose red its time for the antlers! I did this using a black striper(Sinful Colors Nail Art - Black) and just added a few lines to look like antlers on Rudolph's head.
Almost done! Now time to add some Red sparkle glitter(China Gaze - Love Marilyn, and Milani - Ruby Jewels) and a top coat(Seche Vite) and you're all finished!
These are the polishes I used from left to right; Seche Vite (My absolute FAVORITE top coat), Nina Ultra Pro - Love Struck, Sinful Colors Nail Art - Black, China Glaze - Love Marilyn, Milani - Ruby Jewels, A Perfect 10 - Talk Dirty, and Nail Life Nail Revitalizer. Up front are my Migi nail pens in black and white.
Thank you so much for reading there are hopefully lots more nails to come!

Number One :)

Hi my name is Kristy and I have been doing my nails for as long as I can remember. When I was in Elementary school I remember bringing my shoe box full of nail polish out for recess and doing every ones nails instead of playing on the jungle gym. For about the past year I have become even more "addicted" to doing my nails. I'm following different blogs about them I can watch YouTube for hours watching people do their nails. I'm always learning new tips and techniques and I love trying them out. So after thinking it over a bit I've decided to start my own Nail Blog and I guess we'll see how this goes. Here are a few pictures of what I've done in the past year.
My favs are my blue polka dot nails and my Breaking Dawn nails I did for the midnight premiere. (yes I'm a twilight fan)
Thank you for who ever reads this :)
