Advent Calendar Challenge Roundup: Part 1!

Hi guys! Sorry for the ridiculously long post title! I wanted to share with you my manis from my first 8 days of the Advent Calendar Challenge I created. It's a total of 24 days (just like a real Advent Calendar) with a new inspiration/challenge for each day for your mani. I've only missed *one* day because I didn't own a silver polish and I ran out of time, but here's the other 7 manis I did for the first 8 days! For reference, here's my original post on the NB blog about my Advent Calendar Challenge, and also the challenge itself:

Advent Calendar Nail Challenge!

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share a Nail Challenge I created. It's based and inspired by the nail art 31 day challenge that floats around the nail polish world... but it's Christmas themed, and only 24 days long so you have time to relax and enjoy your presents after Christmas Eve!

The "rules" are simple: be inspired by the suggestions for each day! I tried to be a little vague so that you could find inspiration for what each day means to you. I'll be circulating this calendar on Instagram (my username is happyhandsnailpolish) as well as my blog and my Happy Hands Nail Polish Facebook page. I hope you'll take part and repost this image (though please do not remove anything or edit it besides adding Instagram filters) and if you post your challenges on Instagram or Twitter, please tag them with #adventcalendarchallenge and #happyhandsnailpolish so everyone can find them. And most importantly, have fun!

OPI DS Exclusive!

Hi! This is my first post on the NBers Unite blog. I'm KRISTIwasHERE over on Makeup Alley. Today I wanted to show you my NOTD with OPI DS Exclusive. I wore this last week to the local County Fair and it was gorgeous!
