Happy Monday, everyone! For Day 4 of 12 Nails Of Christmas, I really, really wanted to put together some twinkle lights nails because I always love the look and I feel like you can really get creative and customize them exactly how you want them. While in real life, I'm a boring white lights kind of a girl, on my nails I really wanted to bring some neon boldness to them to give some real impact. I paired reverse stamping with a stunning holo base and I'm really, really in love with them.

I recently finally got a gel lamp and I've been super excited to try out some stuff that I've never been able to do before. Probably the number one thing that I wanted to try, though, was cable knit sweater nails. Stamped sweater nails are some of my favorites, but I was really, really excited to give this technique a go and it's the first one I tried when I finally got a lamp. I really, really like doing white on white nail art, but it's almost impossible since... well, white is white and it's hard to get any definition in a look using only white. I decided, though, that a really crisp white cable knit sweater design would have that sharpness of the white on white look, but also have definition from the design.

There are a couple of staples in my life when it comes to body moisturizer, products that I literally have near me at all times, and one of those products is the HEMPZ Original Herbal Body Moisturizer. I often carry one of the little travel sizes around with me in my purse to use while I'm out and about, but I also have a full sized bottle of it on my desk at work and I reach for it pretty much every day. I don't often venture outside of the original, which I think smells gorgeous, but as soon as I tried out the HEMPZ Pumpkin Spice & Vanilla Chai Herbal Body Moisturizing, it had to come home with me and I've been a little bit obsessed with it ever since.

Sometimes it's best to keep it simple when it comes to nail art, and that's definitely what I did for today's #12NailsOfChristmas mani. I think a dotticure is a great way that just about anyone can create and impactful and fun nail art look, even without a bunch of experience or tools. All you need is a few different colours to work together, some dotting tools (or toothpicks and bobby pins), and a little bit of creativity and you can create a really simple, custom nail art look on any nail length or shape. 

I have to admit, it's been a while since I've tried a new matte liquid lipstick formula. I feel like a few years ago I was greedy to get my hands on every formula, but lately I've really been trying to reign myself in. However, I recently tried out a few of the Avon Matteitute Liquid Lipsticks* and it's sort of reminded me exactly why I loved matte liquid lipsticks so much.

Ahhhhh! It's officially Christmastime - though admittedly, I've been digging into my Christmas spirit since about an hour after it was officially no longer Halloween. And, of course, here on the blog that means that it's time for 12 Nails Of Christmas - the most wonderful time of the year? Over the next few weeks leading up the Christmas, I'll be posting 12 different mani's in celebration - and in hopes that I might offer some inspiration for anyone looking for some. So, to start, I wanted to go with a mani that I think is one that literally anyone could recreate!

So, without further ado, let's get into the first day of 12 Nails Of Christmas!

You guys!! I can't even tell you how excited I am for this post. I feel like everyone who really, really loves beauty products has a bit of a fantasy about getting a chance to name one. I know that I've thought about how I would curate a collection or what kinds of names I would choose if I was creating a product. Recently, I was super lucky and got to name some gorgeous nail flakies from NailStuff.ca that are basically the perfect colour for where my brain is at a good portion of the time. I count myself extra lucky that I was able to default to one of my absolute favorite things in the world for the name - sea turtles! 

So, without further ado, keep reading to take a look at the absolutely gorgeous NailStuff.ca Turtle Reef Nail Flakes*!

Happy Saturday! I've decided that after over five years of almost never posting on the weekends, I wanted to add a new little segment here to feature some gorgeous nail polish swatches - new, new-to-me and maybe some old favorites from my collection as well! For this first one, I wanted to show you guys this absolutely stunning polish from Cadillacquer - Summer Rain*! This is actually the very first polish I've ever tried from Cadillacquer and... hooooo! I love it.
