Has it really been over a month since my last Seriotype? Almost two months?!? WHAT?!? How in the world did that even happen? Probably something to do with NaNoWriMo...

Going into the 12 Manicures of Christmas, I wanted to do a Holiday Seriotype, I just wasn't quite sure if it would work or how. Because green and red are opposite on the color wheel and tend to make brown when mixed together, I was a little worried. But all those worries flew out the window as I watched this gorgeous Seriotype layering come together!

I started out by alternating Holly-Day and Pointsettia on my nails. Using saran wrap, I randomnly dabbed Ravishing Dahling and Glittering Garland onto each nail. Then, I sponged on SinfulColors Holiday Rebel. Next, using my saran wrap again, I dabbed on a little bit of Mingle with Kringle. Twinkle Lights was sponged on top of that. After that, each red nail got a smidge more Pointsettia blotted with saran wrap. I did the exact same thing on my green nails, using Holly-Day. To finish off the Seriotype, each nail got a coat of Pahlish Autumn People. I added 2 coats of SinfulColors clear coat for extra smoothness, followed by a thick coat of Seche Vite.

Talk about festive! I really love how this Seriotype turned out, and I'm honestly kind of sad that I have to take it off tonight. But I've still got a few more Manicures of Christmas to go!

And speaking of those manicures, my December Rainbow Honey Mystery Bag came on Wednesday with two new gorgeous polishes in it. Today, my Black Friday Pahlish order arrived. Gumdrop Rooftop needs to be on my nails soon! And tomorrow, my Secret Santa goodies are scheduled to arrive, and the goodies I sent are scheduled to be delivered!

Other than that, there's a little more Christmas shopping than I would like to have left at this point, but I think that's pretty common at this point! Peanut and I are baking cookies with Granny Sparkle, then she has a Christmas party to go to while I do a little more shopping or wrapping. I haven't decided yet. Either way... I'm still having a hard time believing that Christmas is only one week away! Eeeeeek!!! Where did December go?!?

SinfulColors Mauve On Seriotype

Whether you call it a seriotype or smooshy... (I prefer seriotype) there is just something about this style of manicure that I can't get enough of.  Polishes Used:  1 Coat Fingerpaints Smooth Out Ridge Filler 3 Coats SinfulColors Mauve On Essie Leggy Legend Pahlish Autumn People Pure Ice Get in Line 1 Coat SinfulColors Clear Coat 1 Coat Seche Vite Hey there! It's been a little while, hasn't it? Sorry about that. Life happens, you know? Oddly enough, I didn't stop painting my nails during my hiatus. I kept taking pictures for a while, and then that just sort of stopped to. Weird how some habits die hard, while others don't change a bit.  Anyhoo... I found pictures of this mani in my files and couldn't believe I didn't share it! This was one of my favorite polishes last spring, and I recreated this exact seriotype/ a few times.  This mani started out with 3 fresh coats of Mauve On. I typically wrap my tips on the 2nd c

Fishbowl Friday 073 // Recreation

Every now and then, I enjoy looking back over past manicures. Creatively, it's just neat to see how far I've come since the days I started. Oddly enough, when I chose this prompt, I knew exactly which manicure I wanted to recreate. Based loosely on Fishbowl Friday 027 , today's seriotype nails are a RECREATION ...  Polishes Used: 1 Coat Fingerpaints Smooth Over Ridge Filler 3 Coats China Glaze Violet Vibes Essie Leggy Legend Pahlish Autumn People Pure Ice Get in Line SinfulShine Konstellation 2 Coats SinfulColors Clear Coat 1 Coat Seche Vite Looking back, I can honestly say that my seriotype game has come far since I first learned the method. One of the things that took me a while to master was the balance of nail polish finishes. While seriotypes made exclusively with creme polishes look cool, those made with a combination of different finishes really pop. There's more depth involved when you layer a metallic over a jelly neon and

Fishbowl Friday 072 // Hard Candy

We're going to skip that whole part where we talk about how it's been a while, because well, it's been a really long while. I'm still trying to work out how to make room for blogging and juggle everything else, and it's definitely been a challenge. But know that I am working on it, and I do really, really miss it. This place has been my Quantum of Solace for a long time, and I'm not planning on letting it go anytime soon. That being said... for this week's prompt, I was happily surprised when I pulled HARD CANDY . This is probably one of the most iconic brands of nail polish, and it's certainly gone through it's own number of changes throughout the years. Who didn't want to own a bottle of Sky once they saw it on Alicia Silverstone's nails way back in the 90's? Last year, Hard Candy celebrated their 20th anniversary by bringing back some of their most iconic shades. The collection was a mix of five original shades and three new ones.
