Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,

A ring.

I don't mean on the phone,

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight...

Santa Baby is such a cute Christmas song! I've been listening to Michael Buble's new Christmas album all week and I love his rendition of that classic song. It's clever how he tweeked the song to make it more applicable to guys.

I wanted to incorporate Santa into my nails but I'm not too good at drawing so that means no Santa faces. Hopefully you guys recognize his cute little suit! I used a 3D nail art pen from Daiso to create the buttons, used a sharpie to colour in the "belt" (make sure that the polish is dry and hardened so you don't push the polish around and *gasp* end up colouring your own nail with a permanent marker) and painted on some gold for the buckle.

Red: Anna Sui 418

3D Nail Art Pen: Daiso

Gold: Anna Sui 709

Hope you liked this week's Nail Love! I had fun doing it - this week was a bit stressful for me so it was nice to look at so many pretty things :) Christmas is getting close! Are you all ready?

Nail Love: Glam as Gold

Under: Sephora Curve-aceous

Over: Revlon 121 Frostiest Pink

Over: Anna Sui 709

This week my inspirations are the rich reds and golds decorating the city in pretty ornaments and glittering lights. I think red and gold is such an elegant colour combination, bold and festive, love it!

Curve-aceous is a beautiful "opaque metallic cool candy apple", it has a great sheen to it, reminds me of the red twirl on the side of the candy cane :) I used the Frostiest Pink under the Anna Sui 709 because I wanted to add more of a beige undertone to the gold as the 709 is a light yellow-gold and I wanted a richer gold to go with the rich red underneath.

What do you think? Aren't these pictures glamorous? I love that one with Elizabeth Taylor, she is absolutely gorgeous in that gold dress and the cute Christmas-y decoration.

I hope you guys liked this week's Nail Love. I've been feeling so festive and Christmas-y and I love it! And of course, helping me get into this wonderful mood is the wonderful Christmas music! My good friend Sara burned me a CD back when we were in school of this Korean girl group called Big Mama. It's their Christmas album and I listen to it every year. If you like jazzy rhythms, beautiful voices and wonderful harmonies, they are definitely the music to listen to ♥

I hope everyone is having a wonderful December so far!

Nail Love: Attitude en Pointe

The temperature has been consistently going down this week and all I can think of are warm wools, soft chiffon silk, and knit layers to keep me warm. There is nothing I would like to do more than to sit in front of the heater fireplace with a warm blanket, comfy leg warmers, and a nice big mug of hot chocolate.

My nails this week are a simple, creamy nude with a dash of sparkle, like the holiday magic soon to arrive at our doorsteps :)

Under: Sephora Nonfat Soy Half Caff

Over: Sephora Traffic Stopper Copper

The prima donna of this week is the Traffic Stopper Copper, a glittery coppery rose gold glitter. I really love this one! It is perfect on top of blush tones and nude shades. Nonfat Soy Half Caff is a pale milky nude shade, a perfect backdrop for the rosy gold on top. I wanted to keep the look simple and fresh, so I have applied glitter just at the tips. Reminds me of reflected light off a flickering bonfire.

I hope you liked this week's Nail Love. These pictures are so serene, pretty, feminine - perfect for the girly girl in me :)
