Holiday Nails

The holiday parties are coming up

and todays nails is a cute design for a festive look :)

Here's the polishes I used

First I applied one coat of the whirlwind white (insta-dri)

and then I applied Essie Pure pearlfection (for a shimmer finish)
Then I used that red (which has no name or brand I've had it 4ever

that's probably why it works so well with the stamping tool it's now super thick!

for the stripes I used the BM20 plate

and the bow is stamped with Ulta Envy with Konad M56 plate

I just used a silver stripper below the bow

and applied holographic glitter to give it some blingage :)

My hand is getting so dry with this weather! ugh yuck :(

I ran out of my favorite lotion which is the Khiels Ultimate hand salve

I've used it for years & It's my  F A V O R I T E

I LOVE it!

You know when you apply lotion & then you wash your hands

& you can feel your lotion wash off?

Well, this lotion doesn't do that! It's amazing :)

But recently I ordered this jack black lip balm (i'm obsessed w/ it!)

It's my new must have!

& then I saw this set that came with a hand lotion

so, for a few bucks more I ordered the set instead

& I must say I LOVE it too!!!! :)

It keeps your hands feeling soft & moisturized

but NOT sticky! I HATE sticky/slimy/wet/oily hand lotion!

(talk about picky right)

If you guys have tried either of these or know of a hand lotion that's better

 let me know what you think!

Hope you liked the nails

You're not picky: the perfect hand lotion is CRITICAL! I was a longtime fan of Vaseline's Healthy Hand & Nail lotion in the pink tube/bottle, but started looking for a new fave while pregnant. St. Ives Restoring 24 Hour Moisture has been perfection! No parabens. No phthalates. Routine manufacturer's coupons on top of a great price. But they've changed the packaging, which has me worried. Need to confirm if anything else has changed. Gah!
