Challenge Your Nail Art: Glitter- Polar Express

Hello Readers!

I'm back again with another post for Challenge Your Nail Art, and this time the prompt is glitter! So I grabbed out my peel-off base coat and went to work on a pretty simple and straightforward polar express themed mani.

I've been wanting to do a train mani ever since I got the Bundle Monster Time Machine plate set for my birthday all the way back in September, but I thought it would be a fun theme to kind of save for Christmastime. I have a 4-year-old who is completely enamored with trains, so he was excited about this one. 

My train comes from this vintage themed plate:

I used a mysterious silver polish with no kind of label to give us a clue as to what brand it is. It's lovely though! I can't even remember how or when I got this polish- I surely have had it for a number of years. I used my current stand-by, Sinful Colors "black on black" as my stamping polish and simply stamped it onto my nails. You may notice that the pinky is patched- I accidentally smudged it so I had to go in with a toothpick and fix the part that rubbed off. It's not a perfect patching job, but at least it is better than it was!

ABC Nail Art Challenge: W is for Woman

Hello Readers!

Wow, it's quickly coming to the end of the ABC Nail Art Challenge, with this week's letter being "W". Crazy! My original idea for this manicure was "washer", for the nuts-and-bolts pattern, which is a bit of a stretch since they are nuts, not washers. I went with it anyway though and when I was done I realized that "woman" is a better fit because there is actually a woman stamped onto my nails here.

This manicure uses a pretty fun plate that I've been looking forward to playing with for a while, from the Bundle Monser "Time Machine" collection:

I still need to play some more with this plate- especially the train image. Love that! I have a son who is really into trains so I know that would be exciting for him- maybe for a Christmas-y theme?

Here are my polishes:

Pretty straightforward mani today. Can't wait to see some more w-themed manis! Check them out in the link-up below!
