Thanksgiving Manicure--Art Deco

The holidays are that time of year when we see family more and want to look our best. Whether your upcoming holiday festivities are casual or formal, I have a few nail art ideas to help you plan that Thanksgiving Manicure!

I channeled my inner glamour to create a subtly stunning manicure. I chose none other than Art Deco as an inspiration. Art Deco has been very present in designs over the past year so it seemed like the perfect inspiration.

This is the most formal Thanksgiving manicure I created. You could easily change up the colors to match or compliment a party dress. And with a little striping tape, this was a breeze.

Polishes Used: Barielle Gold Digger, OPI Spark de Triomphe, and Zoya Edyta

Festive, Glittery Manicure...

Hello, lovelies! Today I have a very random manicure. It was nearly a "playing with polish" post, but it's really just layering. Because I did not know how to share this post, it has sat in my "edited" folder for quite some time, just waiting for the perfect opportunity to be shared.

Today seems like the perfect opportunity to share a glittery manicure. This weekend my husband graduates from medical school, so there is a lot to celebrate! Cue glittery manicure...

Polishes used: Diamond Cosmetics Don't Teal My Heart Away, China Glaze Champagne Bubbles, OPI Spark de Triomphe

All That Glitters...OPI Spark de Triomphe

Confession: I am afraid of glitter polishes.

I LOVE glitter polishes in the bottle.  I LOVE the potentially amazing things you can do and create with glitter polishes.  BUT they're a pain to take off & sometimes they make me feel like a little kid.

This week I am going to share with you my silver, gold, & glittery friends that do not get the credit that they deserve.  "All That Glitters.." week has already taught me to love my glitters more.  Check it out:

All That Glitters is...

OPI Spark de Triomphe

Say "hello" to my favorite glitter.  Spark de Triomphe was sold as part of the Serena Collections.  This beautiful glitter is packed with mostly silver microglitter and small silver hexagonal glitters, but it has some gold fine glitter and hex glitters sprinkled in there too.  This is one coat of this beauty, it takes only 3 coats to reach full coverage of this gilver stunner.

The Verdict:

This is a favorite for sure.  I was lemming this glitter for so long and when I got it, she did not disappoint.  I love how this transforms in different light.  Every moment with this beauty on your tips will make you love it more.  Application was a breeze and the glitter was smooth against the nail.  I highly recommend this polish to any gilver lovers:)

This OPI was part of the Serena Collections and can be found at some beauty supply stores and also online with certain suppliers.  Most OPIs retail individually for $8.00.
