Star Wars Christmas Mashup Mani

Happy Christmas Eve y'all!!!  So, the kiddo doesn't know it yet, but tomorrow night(Christmas Day) we are going to see the latest Star Wars movie, so NO SPOILERS PLEASE.  Because of that, I wanted to do a Star Wars & Christmas mashup on my nails.  He watched me do my nails, and LOVED them, and still has no idea. 

Now while I'm still not 100% happy with them, I do love them.  I guess it's the perfectionist in me & knowing that I can do better. They were pretty easy to do and I'll link the tutorials for where I got the inspiration on each of these from. 

I used a LONG list of polishes, so I'll be sure to list everything down below as well.


For the lightsabers, my inspiration came from a recent video by Simply Nailogical, which you can see HERE. Though the only acrylic paint I used was the white, I did use polishes to paint over the white....because HOLO!

 Blue Lightsaber: Wet N Wild Black Creme, Color Club Blue Heaven, & Revlon Royal

 Green Lightsaber: Wet N Wild Black Creme, Nubar Reclaim, & Verity B24 Aqua Blue

 Red Lightsaber: Wet N Wild Black Creme, ILNP Very Ornamental, & Wet N Wild I Red A Good Book

Christmas tree accent: China Glaze Angel Wings, ILNP A Fresh Evergreen, & stars from Salon Perfect Star Spangled. Tutorial can be found HERE!

 I took this shot outside with my cell phone using the flash.  Because we're having crappy weather, and I finished late at night, it was dark outside & I knew I wouldn't be able to get a full sun pic.
About the only thing I would do differently is maybe not use holo for the sabers? or use a glow in the dark over the white.  What do y'all think?

Win Or Fail Nails - Patriotic

Hey y'all!  So while I was swatching the new Salon Perfect polishes I decided to play around with them a bit.  I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I basically wanted to use ALL TEH GLITTAS! 

I started off with Wild Blue Yonder as my base.   Randomly brushed He's With Me onto the tips of the outer nails then topped that with Silver Sparkler. 

On my middle finger is Star Spangled & on the ring finger is Grand Finale.

I probably should've sponged the red on, but I think it's still sorta cute. :D  What about y'all? 

That being said, I hope those of you celebrating have a safe and fun filled day.

Paint The Town Red, White, & Blue with Salon Perfect

**Press Sample**

Hey y'all!  Salon Perfect is here to get y'all ready for the 4th of July!  You can show off your nails with stars & stripes with glitter for some patriotic flair.  

The Salon Perfect® Paint the Town Red, White & Blue collection features 15 shades including classic red, white and blue crèmes and shimmers, plus gold and silver metallics, and six limited edition glitter top coats.  I have 6 of them to share with you today.  I had a 7th, but sadly it had an accident in transit and didn't quite make it.  

Wild Blue Yonder - A light blue cream with a subtle shimmer.  I actually looked up shade names for blues and the closest thing I could find to describe this is United Nations Blue.  This is 2 coats.

He's With Me - Deep red glitter.  I think this is a shade or two darker than China Glaze Ruby Pumps, I haven't actually compared the two though.  This is 3 coats.

Grand Finale - Red, white(silver holo), and blue fiber(bar) glitter.  This is over a nude-y gray base.  It was actually easier to use than I remember bar glitters being way back in the day., though I did have to kind of "pat" it on rather than brushing it on.

Star Spangled - Silver glitter with red, white(they look sorta like flat silver), and blue stars applied over a nude-y gray base.  On my pinky and index fingers, I used a dotting tool and placed the glitters on and patted the polish on the other two nails using the brush.

Save Me A Spot - Matte red, white, and blue glitters in a clear base.  I layered this over a nude-y gray base plopping it on the middle and ring fingers while using a dotting tool to place the glitters in a pattern on my index and pinky fingers. 

Silver Sparkler - Small and hex silver holo glitters in a clear base.  This is 2 coats over Wild Blue Yonder.  

I also received a top coat named "Crystal Clear" which I used in place of Seche Vite over all of these swatches.  It doesn't say anything about fast or quick drying, but I found that it dried faster than any other regular top coat I've ever used.  

I didn't get a chance to use these, but might later this week for my actual 4th mani.
