NAILS | Let the Holiday Nails Begin! #CBBxManiMonday

Oof, my nails are still on the short side, but I was determined to make a design happen! I hadn't done a skittles manicure in awhile and it worked out because I could not decide how to kick off this month of holiday nail art! 

After doing this nail art thing for over 10 years, I kind of feel like I have tried everything, but I have come to the conclusion that when it comes seasonal events like Halloween, Christmas or Valentine's, it's ok to redo things because I don't think anyone (myself included) remembers what people have done in the past. Realistically, I EXPECT to see Santa, snowflakes and snowmen every year!

Everything was hand-drawn with my little dotting tool and nail art brush and can I just say that this Essie Special Effects polish "Separated Starlight" is AWESOME. It kind of just dressed everything up and made things look better! It's an iridescent flakie that would look fabulous on top of any polish and there is a good amount that comes out each time so even just one coat had the desirable effect. High recommend!
