I made the mistake of choosing to do xmas lights over my already deep red mani. A mistake only because I first used black for the “wires” but you couldn’t see it very well so it just looked like i put random colored eggy dots over burgundy so I went back over the black with Sally Hansen Complete Manicure “Gilty Pleasure”. 

Base: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear “Brick Wall”+base/topcoat

Design: freehand painted using two very thin nail art brushes to paint the wire (SH Complete Manicure “Gilty Pleasure”) and “lights” (SH InstaDri in Whirlwind White, Lickety-Split Lime, Lightening, Brisk Blue, & Peachy Breeze”)

I’m up to 93 followers. Only 7 more followers and we can do the GIVEAWAY!! I’ve got the loot all packaged up and ready to send out to one lucky reader so tell your friends to follow me @ nailartbyjoyella.tumblr.com or repost this or something so we can find a winner!!

Joy Ella’s Nail Art Blog Giveaway!!!! Celebrating 100 (future) followers!!! Since I posted that I will be giving away some free nail art loot, my follower count jumped up to 60 so I figured I’d better post the details!! The Loot: Eight fauxnad (konad dupes) nail stamping image plates including: m22, m27, m44, m56, m60, m63, m73, & m78 (links open detailed image of each plate in new window) Note that they have a blue plastic protective layer on top that must be peeled off before use (that is what looks scratched up in the pic above, the actual plates are not scratched!) A few of my favorite “stamping” polishes, all Brand New: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri “Whirlwind White”, WetNWild “Black Creme”, Pure Ice “Silver Mercedes”, & Revlon TopSpeed “Espresso” A brand new genuine Konad stamper & scraper set (not pictured) One Onyx Pro acetone corrector pen (I love these, easier than using brushes IMHO and when they dry up, just dip tip in NP remover to “reuse) China Glaze “Scarlet” and “Heaven” Nail Polishes (just for the heck of it) The Rules: You must be following me (nailartbyjoyella.tumblr.com) You must LIKE this post (you can reblog it if you want but it won’t help/hurt your chances of winning) Most importantly, you must REBLOG one of my blog posts featuring an ORIGINAL manicure by Joy Ella (must have my watermark, my previous reblogged posts won’t count).
