Now you may for may not be wonder what makes this a Bah Hum Bug color combo? Well I thought that if I used the middle finger as an accent nail and not the ring finger nail, and polish that black with some colorful glitter polish, that would be fitting with my theme. Also the other nails I did keep with the more traditional Christmas red and green, with Holographic polish.

Penguin March- Penguin Winter Nail Design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a good winter/ almost Christmas (if you celebrate the Holiday.) Anyways today on the blog we will be creating a cute winter themed nail design, a penguin/ snowflake nail design.

 Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this cute design:

 


Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Polishes- Colors by llarowe- Arturo and OPI Holiday 2017- Ornament to Be Together.

Acrylic paint- white, black, red, yellow (make orange and pink by mixing colors.)  

Nail art tools- thin detail brush, stripper brush, and medium dotting tool.  

Small cup of water to clean off your nail art brushes.

Apply your base coat. 

Let that dry.

Polishes- 

Thumb, index, middle, pinky- a light holo blue polish (I used Colors by llarowe- Arturo)

Ring finger- a silver polish with a little bit of holo in it. (I used OPI Ornament to Be Together)

Let that dry.

First we will start off with the penguin, also for this post I will just be going over how to create the penguin not the snowflakes because I have done quite a few post on how to do snowflake designs, plus the snowflakes are on only one nail.

Penguin Design:

Take your thin detail brush with white paint on it, make a circle kind of near the tip of the nail, then fill that in. Then outline the head, making that outline thick. 

Then near the top of the penguin's head make two arches, then when you go down the middle of the two arches (the thick line in the middle of his face) make that line very thick. 

Also make three lines at the top of his head for his hair. 

For the penguin's body make kind of a half oval shape (not really sure what kind of shape to even call this?) then fill that in. Once again outline that with black. 

Then on each side make his flippers.

Now back to the penguin's face. Take your dotting tool with black paint on it and make two eyes, then two white dots once that is dry. 

Then for his beak make an oval shape with orange paint (I mixed yellow and red), then when that is dry make a line in between the oval.

For the final touch on your penguin's face make to pink circle's on his cheeks. (I mixed white and red to make a pink.)  

Then for the final touch on your penguin, I decided to put a surf around his neck. You can do this by taking your detail brush with red paint on it and make a thick red line around his neck and then two more lines coming down from that. 

Now your penguin is done.

For this design I wanted the main focus to be the penguin, and I always like to do the main design on the thumb nail because their is more room on that nail. So for this design I only did the snowflakes on the ring finger nail.

For the snowflakes make a large snowflake near the tip of then nail on the left side. Then half a snowflake near the bottom of that snowflake. Then make small dots along the top of the two snowflakes.

For this design you can always add more snowflakes on the other nails or just keep the nails light blue, it is up to you.

Here are some extra photos of the snowflake part of this design, I liked how these turned out so I wanted to share them.

Once you have your penguin design the way you like apply a top coat to seal in your nails and to help your design to last through this cold winter. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this Penguin Winter Nail Design!

See you next time for more nail fun! 

Also Happy Holiday's!

You Deserve a Metal! Holo Taco- Frosted Metals Collection Review

Hello everyone! Happy Holiday's! I don't know about all of you but I am glad that this year is almost over with, this has been a hard year for everyone, and hopefully next year will be better. Anyways with that being said for everyone that has made it though this year we all deserve a metal (in the collection boxes it says you deserve a metal) and what better metal then nail polish! Today yet again well will be taking a look at the latest collection from Holo Taco, the Frosted Metals or the Metallic Foil Collection.

As with all of the Holo Taco collection this collection came in a beautiful box, that has a metallic finish with purple, blue, and green squares on it. On the inside they is a very pretty holographic star pattern through out the inside and on the sides on the outside of the box as well. I personally really love the collection boxes they are always so pretty, and it adds a nice touch to the collections.

All of these polishes have a silver, flakey, icy metallic finish with jelly base (as described on the Holo Taco website) on the first coat they are sheer, but build well in three coats.
 
Let's take a look at the polishes!

Mint Money is a mint/ icy green polish with a shinny silver metallic glitter finish. For some reason in my photos this polish looks almost like a light blue?

Fake Date is a light pink / lilac (as described on the Holo Taco website) with a shiny silver metallic glitter. This polish was a little bit more sheer due to it being a lighter color, but it did still build up in three coats just like the other polishes

These polishes are a little hard to remove, so if you are a little bit messy when polishing your nails (like me) try and be careful not to get to much on the sides and near the cuticles, due to the polishes being very glittery. Also when you remove the polishes you will get silver, flaky, glitter all over your fingers.

In conclusion as all of the Holo Taco collections, I do really like this collection! All of the polishes are very pretty and very shinny, which I love shinny polishes and this collection is actually very unique to my ever going nail polish collection.

Here is some extra photos of all of the polishes on my right hand with a Holographic topcoat over top. The top coat I have on is one I got from Revoln a few years ago, I don't have the holo top coat from Holo Taco so I used the one I have. Adding a holo topcoat to these polishes does make these polishes look even cooler!  

As of typing this post the collection box is still available. frosted metals collection set $65.00 USD

Along with the individual polishes Holo Taco polishes , $13.00 USD  

Hope all of you enjoyed this review of the new Holo Taco Frosted Metals Collection!

See you next time for more nail fun!
