Candy Canes!

Hey!
I've finally got some nail art for you.
It's been forever since i've done any (and i'm not that great at it to begin with),
but I had a go at some candy cane inspired nails the other night.
I actually really liked how it turned out!



Tada!
For my unsteady, shaky hands- i'm rather pleased with this.
Festive and bright! :)
Clean-up is rather messy,
but this mani took me forever so i said screw ittttt :P


I used:
China Glaze 'Ruby Pumps'
Sally Hansen 'White On'
striping tape
Stripe Rite striper in silver



I felt more festive just wearing it :D
What do you think?
What's your favorite Christmas nail art?

nail mail & failed striping tape mani

ahhhh. I love nail mail.
Particularly indie nail mail :)
Here's my recent additions:


SUPER excited about both of these. I've already swatched them on my nail wheel and they seem just as awesome as they look online. One of them is obviously a Halloween polish, so you'll see that one shortly. The other is related to one of my favorites shows which doesn't air until March, so it may be awhile before I debut that one :P IF I can hold out that long...
Have you guys tried any polishes from these shops?
Let me know!



Now onto the failed mani...
I bought some striping tape awhile back (mainly bc I really wanted to use it for a lazer mani), and I just really haven't gotten around to trying it out that much.
I wanted to showcase it on today's polish because I thought the two colors would really compliment each other (and they do), but it just all turned out wrong. I was in a hurry and the polish AND taping job are just total crap.


This is gold striping tape over 2 coats of Sinful Colors' 'Into the Mist'. The only reason I decided to go ahead and post this horrible mani is because 'Into the Mist' is just lovely and I couldn't wait to post it, so here we are :/

'Into the Mist' is part of Sinful Colors' recent Muse collection. It's a gorgeous deep, forest-green creme. After having past difficulty with many SC polishes, I was happy that this sucker went on so smoothly. Though the polish got a little thick after I'd had it open for awhile, it was nothing that I couldn't handle. It's a great Fall/Winter polish and i'm so glad I added it to my collection :))) As far as the striping tape goes, I just need to attempt it again when I have more time.


That's it for me.
Have a great day, guys!
