MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! Here’s my last christmas mani of the year to close this special nail art serie.
For this nail art, I did a gingerbread man and a holly branch. I’m so devoted to my art (lol) that I actually bought this green polish to do this mani. I saw this design by Nailsuponatime on Instagram and wanted to recreate it so when I went shopping with my best friend, I bought a sparkly green polish because I didn’t have one at least I thought so… Now that I think of it, I might have a similar polish from Kiko but I couldn’t put my hands on it yet so we will just pretend that I was right for buying a new polish. 
I used to love Hema polishes so much when I was in high school mostly because it was one of the only brands I could buy back in the days. I have to say that the quality is really good for the price. Most of the polishes that I bought years ago are still good to use. 
Polishes I used :
Hema : Striking Green
NCLA : Cinnamon Girl
Claire’s : Beige
Sephora : Sugar Coated
Mavala : Red Diamond
Nailmatic : Grazia
Bourjois : Beige Distinction
White Polish

I’m continuing this christmas nail art serie with a candy cane watermarble. This watermarble the one I did 2 years ago using only Primark polishes. This post is an upgrade one, I feel like I’m getting better to watermarble.
When I did this nail art, I didn’t use liquid latex to protect my skin and no need to say it was a mess. My parents (who don’t usually pay attention to my nails) were like : “wtf is going on with your nails?”. My skin was literally covered in red polish and I didn’t clean everything right after doing my nails. I was literally walking around my house with red hands. After litre of polish remover and multiple Q-tips, I have managed to reachieve a normal skin. 
For this watermarble, I used OPI Adam Said “It’s New Year’s, Eve”… again! This polish is THE polish of christmas. I also used OPI “Sweet Heart”. 
Polishes I used :
OPI : Adam Said “It’s New Year’s, Eve” 
OPI : Sweet Heart

Another christmas nail art, *Dj Khaled’s voice* another one! 
For this nail art, I did a plaid design using OPI Adam Said “It’s New Year’s, Eve” like in my last christmas nail art. It’s a nail polish from their 2017 holiday collection “Love OPI, xoxo” so it’s the perfect red for christmas nail art. 
This mani is inspired by TheBusyNails on Instagram.
Polishes I used :
OPI : Adam Said “It’s New Year’s, Eve”
OPI : Up Front & Personal
Butter London : Startford Honey

Ya girl is busy with finals but she posts anyway. I really wanted to post this mani because it's quite special to me. I realized that I never did a design inspired of a song when I'm huuuuge fan of music. I was scrolling through Instagram the other day and I saw the nail art that BadGirlNails did for the release of Ariana Grande’s new music video and I knew had to give it a try.
So this nail art inspired by Ariana Grande's music video "Thank U, Next". No, I ain't grateful for my ex because I have none of them. I got 99 problems but love ain't one, I guess. Even though I didn't relate to this part of the song, its message really did speak to me. I like the idea that we can be grateful for the good AND for the bad. I'm grateful for the people I crossed path with, for the experiences I lived and for all the emotions I ever feel. I realize that when I reflect on the past especially on the bad, I tend to focus on the things I learned from that.
I guess whatever happens, you just have to brush it off and keep shining.
Thank U, next bitch!
Polishes I used :
OPI : Sweet Heart
L’Oréal : Nymphea

Here I am jumping on the christmas nail art bandwagon. I won’t lie to you, I’m pretty proud of this mani. At first, I just wanted to do a red french with gold bows but my extra ass thought that it wasn’t enough festive so I drew plaid to make it more chrismassy. 
Polishes I used :
OPI : Adam Said “It’s New Year’s, Eve”
OPI : Up Front & Personal
L’Oréal : L’Or

Lazy me back with a lazy mani. When I don’t know what to do on my nails, I just do a glitter gradient. It’s quick and pretty. 
This nail art is just a reversed version of this one. Btw, I love the glitter polish that I used in this mani, it’s Essie “Set in Stones”.
Polishes I used :
Essie : Groom Service
Essie : Set in Stones
