Tuxedo Mani and Another Award

I've got a Tuxedo Mani for you today. One really nice thing I noticed while I rocked this mani was that the black and white go with everything. I know it's not horrible if you wear neon pink nail polish with a red shirt but I just don't like to.

 In the pictures above I used 2 coats Sally Hansen diamond strength nail hardener as a base coat, and 2 coats China Glaze Snow. I let those dry completely and then eyeballed the tips with NYC Black Creme (you can also use tape) and then I dabbed a bit of black polish on a piece of paper and used the tip of a bobby pin to make the dots. And of course, one coat Seche Vite Fast Dry Topcoat on top of everything.

Parisa over at The Nail Movement nominated me for another award. We like her here at heidischwartz.blogspot.com, we think she's awesome! Well, now that that weirdly worded sentence is over, the rules!

Candy Cane Nails

I finally gave in a did something Christmasy to my nails. I've been seeing pictures all over the internet of people's candy cane nails, below are mine. This was the first attempt and I have volleyball in like 30 mins so it was a little rushed. I'm typing ridiculously right now even though the Seche Vite is no longer finger-printable. Still, it turned out better than I thought it would.

It looks a lot more cute in person-when it's not so close up lol. You can really see China Glaze Ruby Pumps in this last one. The white is Rimmel French White Tip Pro, and as always, 2 coats Sally Hansen diamond strength nail hardener as a base and Seche Vite Fast Dry Topcoat.
