December's ipsy bag was a mix of good and bad. I've loved ipsy this year, but wish they had ended 2013 on a better note!

NOTD - Blue Christmas Snowflakes

Every year, I look forward to creating some pretty Christmas nails. This year, I decided to go with a twinkling snowflake design. Hope you like!

This was before I cleaned up my nails, unfortunately!

What I used:

Seche Clear (base coat)

Seche Vite (top coat)

Wet n Wild "French White"

L'Oreal "Not a Cloud in Sight"

Zoya "Neve"

Wet n Wild "Bling It On!"

Confetti "Ice Ice Baby"

H&M "Blue"

H&M Blue Glitter

Did you paint your nails a funky Christmas design this year? I'd love to see! Share in the comments!

Maybelline Fall 2013 Lipsticks

Out of the four limited edition Fall 2013 lipsticks released by Maybelline, I picked up only two: "Violet Intrigue" and "Lavender Voltage." I was very conflicted by the swatches I'd seen online. It seemed like the lipsticks would either be a hit or a big miss.

I'm glad I took the chance on these. They are a lot more flattering than I thought they'd be.
