YOU POLISH: Christmas Decals

Pin It
You Polish Nail Decals

It's almost Christmas! Today I have a bunch of manis I created using You Polish's Christmas themed decals. Check them out below :]

Holly Berry themed decal nail art

I used the You Polish holly leaf decals on an accent nail with Zoya Chyna as the berries! I used 4 coats of Zoya Seraphina as the base color.

Christmas decal nail art

These You Polish Christmas decals remind me of cookies and cookie cutters! So I placed them on a white creme polish, Zoya Logan and China Glaze With Love. Then I used China Glaze I'm Not Lion and put some dots in the blank space.

Winter tree Christmas nail art

For this mani I used Zoya Robyn and a white creme to create a sky-like gradient. Then I placed some of You Polish's Christmas tree decals. Then I used a dotting tool to "pile up" snow in front of the trees and then dotted some falling snow in the sky.

Christmas tree and decal ornament nail art

I used a few different green polishes from Zoya and China Glaze for this manicure. I used a dotting tool to create a layered tree effect. Then, I used the You Polish silver Christmas ornament decals and hung them on the "tree".

Christmas ornament decal/stencil nail art

Last but not least, I used the You Polish white ornament decals as stencils. I used Killer Queen Varnish Reindeer Games/Deck the Halls as the base and layered Zoya Logan over. It didn't photograph as awesome as it looked but it was a fun idea :]

YOU POLISH: Bizzare

You Polish Bizzare

Hi friends! Sorry this is a bit late, the mall happened. :X I'm sure ya'll understand how that goes bahahaha. Anyways - today I have a newly released polish for Halloween by You Polish! This polish is super fun and I can't wait to share it with you!

Bizzare is a fun, colorful matte glitter top coat "with orange, pink, green, purple and black glitters with black stars". It reminds me of Halloween candy, actually! I can imagine this layered over so many colors, but I stuck with orange to give it a Halloweenie vibe.

I did 2 coats of Bizzare over Sinful Colors Clementine. Application was easy to work with and covered well. You didn't have to fish for the stars, but I chose to place them as they came on my brush. No issues with dry time :)

YOU POLISH: Custom Decals

Pin It

Hope you're not tired of decals hahah because I have more for you today! Except, these are used as decals instead of stencils because they're a little more intricate in comparison to what I reviewed in the last week.

Lauren of You Polish asked me for ideas and my response was "unicorns, llamas, grumpy cat, and peace signs" and BAM these arrived in my mailbox! So let me share them with you :]

You Polish Unicorn and Cloud Decals

For the unicorn and cloud mani, I used a tie dye plastic bag effect I saw on Instagram (I forget who posted it haha). Basically all you do is put dots of polish on the bag, fold it into each other and smush it against your nail. I used Zoya Rocky, Sinful Colors Lavender, and Revlon Minted. Then I applied the unicorns and magical clouds! For more detailed designs, I recommend using some needle nose tweezers to apply.

You Polish Peace Sign Decals

I was most excited for the peace sign decals! I don't know about you, but I suck butt at drawing circles - with pen or polish. I applied the peace sign over white, filled it in with SquareHue Nantucket (one of my favorite polishes!) then used a dotting tool to make some groovy little flowers. Then, I bordered my nail in Nantucket. I kinda wish I just did a crapton more flowers - oh well! The remaining nails I polished with Nantucket and then topped with Orly Be Brave.

You Polish Monogram Decal

For this mani, I used the monogram decal. I painted my nails with Sinful Colors Grecian Sun and topped it with a Rainbow Honey LE, Heisenberg. Then as an accent nail, I painted my middle finger with Zoya Rocha and applied the monogram decal. I won't lie - this wasn't the easiest decal to place. Mostly because it's in 3 pieces and you have to line it up juuuuust right. Again, needle nose tweezers came in handy!


You Polish Grumpy Cat Decals


I saved the best for last. If you know - or don't know - I have a slllllllllight obsession with Grumpy Cat. I mean, she's on my Facebook cover and my business cards. I was super stoked to have some grumpy decals! I did do a Grumpy Cat mani in the past, and it took a good chunk of time... mostly because I suck at doing animals and people artistically.

I used Tard as a stencil here. I think it looked nicer than the decal itself. Lauren said it was hard to make since all the parts have to be connected, so the eyes were difficult. So - I painted my nail white, top coated it to dry it faster, applied the Grump, polished with SquareHue Swahili Charm, waited until it was tacky and then removed the decal with my tweezers. For the rest of my mani, I polished it with Zoya Sooki and applied the "NO" decals.

Lauren has some fun and unique decals/stencils if you're in the market for some. I had no issues applying these. They're not as flexy as the ones from Glam My Mani but they are easy to use. I really appreciate the detail in her decals.

You Polish Emerald Isle

Hi guys! I feel like this is a little late, but it's only the 7th hahaha. Today I have a pretty little green glitter topper called Emerald Isle by You Polish! This is the May birthstone polish, but it's also perfect for those who love green ;]

Emerald Isle is "blend of emerald green glitters in mulitple sizes including dots with intense green to gold shimmer flakies". There's so much green goin' on in this polish but it's not overwhelming and the glitters work out together nicely :]

I did 2 coats of Emerald Isle over Zoya Josie.  Application was smooth, easy to work with and the glitter covered nicely. I didn't have to fish for the circles, which was also nice. I didn't have any issues with dry time either!

It's April 1st! Did you say "rabbit, rabbit" for good luck? :] Even if you didn't, today's your lucky day! I have You Polish's April birthstone polish,  Diamond Cut, to share with you. Check it out down below!

Diamond Cut is a mix of "silver holographic dots, hexes, diamonds and squares in a holo dusted clear base". I think this was a cool option VS a solid silver polish. I really like all the holographicness of this polish. It looks amazing over that black huh?

I did 2 coats of Diamond Cut over Polish & Co The Opposite of White (my favorite 1 coater black!). There were no issues upon application. It was smooth and all the glitter pieces came out nicely. The dry time was also just as good, no issues.
