Last Christmas DIY mani for 2020! When I saw this glitter, I knew it would be perfect for a holiday manicure. So, I encapsulated it with @modelones_official gel base and top coats! Added some decals to make the season bright! These are my natural nails with a white builder gel overlay. Love the length I've been able to maintain with these gel manicures I've been learning to do myself. Really loving this #ModelonesColorist contest for pushing me to try new things! #ColorLife #DIYManicureWeekends @tlc_dezine @knottygurlkrownz @moni_unger @modelonesnails https://www.instagram.com/p/CJFMaLsBK2V/?igshid=y0fq8wdjflmo

First attempt at holiday nails. I opted for soft colors... so I decided to do pink to gray ombre nails with some sugar cube and cotton candy glitter. My pink and gray came from Modelones Dress Mood collection. Rose gold Christmas decals added just the right amount of holiday sparkle! Good luck to everyone entering the #ModelonesColorist contest! #DIYManicureWeekends https://www.instagram.com/p/CIqiJQIB0Hh/?igshid=yniwa0ak0cbb

Okay, I think I'm getting a LOT better at doing my own nails! I wanted holiday nails, but soft colors... so I decided to do pink to gray ombre nails with some sugar cube and cotton candy glitter. My pink and gray came from Modelones Dress Mood collection. Rose gold decals added just the right amount of holiday sparkle! #Modelones #DIYManicureWeekends https://www.instagram.com/p/CIjt-R3BJGE/?igshid=aub0sv3t1i2f

Didn't turn out exactly like my swatch... but I'm still in love. Decided to stray away from my blues and purples to try this color palette. The Thermal Changing polish makes this effect really cool! They definitely remind me of a Mango Strawberry Frozen Daiquiri. The orange holographic flames are an awesome accent color and detail. Didn't want to start my holiday nails too soon... so I decided to warm up the season one last time before winter. These are my natural nails with a builder gel overlay and two Modelones Colorful Cocktail thermogels. Topped with Modelones opal powder to add even more fire to the design. #DIYManicureWeekends https://www.instagram.com/p/CH5RbXAB02t/?igshid=1k57qze9ozu0k

Decided I wanted to try a horizontal gradient design with 2 different thermogels on one nail. Practice has led me to these beautiful swatches! Can you guys guess which one I'm using in my set this weekend? #DIYManicureWeekends https://www.instagram.com/p/CH3UP_th0Pf/?igshid=fhv5fleqc59b

Thinking of my boo, @ladyvee527 and decided to #WearBlueForVee. So, I created some tribute nails for you. I have so much I need to say. Working on my nails helped to clear my mind and channel your energy. Longer post later, from me and the @jamlaarmy... but please know our hearts and minds are filled with love and bursting with emotion. #DIYManicureWeekends #JamlaArmyForever https://www.instagram.com/p/CHDfqv5h_QD/?igshid=lcxgghdhp4mq

Decided to lighten the gold a little. The last one was more of a brass than gold. I used clear builder gel to secure the striping tapes I used. I really enjoy doing my own nails at home. I've never used these colors and wanted to try something different. In love! The green is a chameleon chrome by @modelones_official that shifts to blue... #DIYManicureWeekends https://www.instagram.com/p/CGv7x_GBm05/?igshid=gvpia4kqd7y4

Decisions, Decisions... Fresh overlay on my natural nails. But I haven't decided what design I want to do. Playing with some darker colors for fall... #DIYManicureWeekends https://www.instagram.com/p/CGeEQ1ahsoT/?igshid=19drg1x59ix94
