Champagne Merlot.

Fall is here and it’s time to dust off the deep red nail polishes! My friend Meris gave me this cool tool that makes little polka dots on your nails so I decided to mix a burgundy color and one of my favorite golds.

Champagne Merlot(The necessities: Polka Dot Stick, Glittery Gold Polish, and a Deep Merlot base)

Champagne Merlot(Step 1: Paint your nails with the burgundy base)

Champagne Merlot(Step 2: Drip a few drops of gold polish on a paper towel)

Champagne Merlot(Step 3: Carefully dip the polka dot tool into the gold polish and lightly press little dots onto your nail)

Leftover Manicure

IMG_7443Not the kind of left overs you are probably thinking about.  I had these two nail stickers leftover from when Chels and I went nail sticker crazy so I decided to use the last two stickers for a Leftover Manicure.  These stickers really are the best because they can put up with my wear and tear!

Ta-da!  Easy and fun nails.  If you end up doing your nails like this or have any other fun nail ideas, send us a pic because we’d love to see!

New Years Nails

We’re back!  Well I’m back while Chelsea prances around Paris.  We hope you all had a great holiday though and a great week.  Chelsea wanted special nails for Paris since she will be spending the New Year under the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower.  This is very easy, considering our last nail attempt was a fail.

IMG_64931.  Paint your nails with a flat color coat that you want to go with the color sparkles you will use.

IMG_6501 2.  Once the first coat dries, start painting the sparkles on the very end of your nails lightly.  Apply as much as you’d like.

IMG_65253.  Boom!  Much better than our last nail fail and very cute.

You can pull this off really easily and quickly.  Get sparkly and enjoy bringing in the New Year!  See you all in 2013 🙂
