2017 New Year's nail art

Includes press sample 

Clink! Happy almost-New Year! I've never been great at coming up with New Year's nail art designs, but this one feels so classy!

The base is Rimmel London Rock 'n Sparkle and I bought it for this great idea I had with a matte top coat and... it sucked XD And I started with a Christmas tree at first, but it just wasn't clicking with the gold pattern. Not classy enough. So I changed it to the champagne glasses instead!

The champagne gold pattern is painted with Artistic Nail Design But First, Champagne! which by the way, I reviewed here. I used the Winstonia #0 and #0000 brushes for the gold pattern, and the Fine Lines brush set for the more detailed accent nail. I LOVE the Fine Lines brushes!







I received But First, Champagne! and the Winstonia brushes as a press sample. Opinions expressed are 100% my own and not influenced in any way other than the quality of the product itself.

Bird lady nail art

Includes press samples 

Heyyyy I hope everyone had a good Christmas/random weekend! Mine was quieter than other years and I'm still exhausted XD Anyways, this bird lady knows how to tame 'em! Or... are we looking at Hitchcockian suspense? ;-)

I made a gradient using Artistic Nail Design Falling In Lust-er, You're Not Glistening To Me! and But First, Champagne!

The whole landscape & details are painted with acrylic paint and my Winstonia #00 and #0000 brushes.

Didn't get any Christmas presents this year? Here's one from me: use PIGGIE at checkout for 10% off your order from Winstonia Store ;-)

All I want for Christmas... nail art

Nothing to disclose 

All I want for Christmas is you... with a little twist! I know it's naughty :-p

I feel this immense pleasure (wrong word for such a design? Hehehe) when I am able to match acrylic paint to the color of a polish and have it go 'invisible'. Can't see it in the light, but it shows up in the dark!

It's Serum No. 5 Wisteria-ously Bright, Laven-daringly Bright, Awesome Blossom & Atomic Peach, the last of which was a perfect match for one of my Apple Barrel acrylic paints.

I painted the words & the snowflakes with acrylic paint and a brush from the Berry Wine brush set from Winstonia. You can use my code PIGGIE for 10% off your Winstonia order :) Merry Christmas!


I hope you guys have the BEST Christmas, however you choose to spend it :)

Wet winter nail art

Includes press samples 

The waterdrops are why I called it 'Wet winter'! Yeah you try and name all of your nail art, see how well it goes after almost 5 years XD Aaaanyways...

The base for this accent nail is No Taming My Twinkle by Artistic Nail Design, and I've reviewed it here. It makes the perfect sparkly background for a winter scene like this, like a starry sky! I painted the scenery with acrylic paint and the Berry Wine brush set from Winstonia. It's called the bloggers' favorite and now I know why, it's amazing! They have been kind enough to give me a discount code to share with you all, you can use PIGGIE at checkout for 10% :D This is not an affiliate code and I get nothing in return when you use it. It's just a discount ;-)

The silver is from this cool kit I've gotten the honor of trying. It's the Chrome Mirror Powder kit from EZ Dip Nails and it came with... hold your breath... a regular air drying top coat that is suitable for use with chrome pigment powders! (OK you can breathe now!) I'm really happy with this stuff because it makes all those gorgeous chrome nails possible without a UV lamp! It works as easy as applying the 'Top Pure' top coat, letting it dry, rubbing some powder on it until it's smooth and shiny, and then applying another coat of the Top Pure!

To clarify all of this, I'll record a tutorial and upload it to my Instagram and Facebook tomorrow so you can see how it works ;-)

'Tis the season nail art for Christmas

Includes press samples 

"Tis the season to be jolly!" thought the little snowman, as he planted a wide smile on his frozen face!

I've been editing a friend's book this week so I have storytelling on my mind. Let me tell you about the origin story of this nail art! First, there was a black coat of polish, and a pattern made with black one step gel polish. Then, a freaky lady who is too obsessed with her nails applied a magical powder called Silver Star by Mitty over it, It stuck and made a wonderous metallic relief!

Now dear readers, you might want to know that the blue glitter polish is Swan Lake by Masura and I have reviewed it here.

The little happy snowman came into creation with acrylic paint, a brush from the Winstonia Rose Noire brush set, and a whiff of magic!
