Happy December everyone! I love this time of year – not for the snowy weather, but I just adore picking out presents for people. And it definitely doesn’t suck to receive presents either 😉 ! Today I have a mani with a little bit o’ everything for you. There’s holo, metallic, neutrals, a gradient, dotting, and stamping!
I really love this one! It’s a bit of a sampler of everything, but I think it goes well together. Here’s another pic:
I LOVE love love that green holo! It’s much more of an evergreen in real life, but my camera really wanted to make it look turquoise. Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer just restocked this polish (it’s called Mickey Smith, Defending the Earth – part of the Gents of Doctor Who collection) yesterday, and this will be the last restock for awhile!! So if you like it, go pick it up ASAP! Oh, and there’s a 25% off Cyber Monday sale today (check out the BEGL Facebook page for more details) – all the more reason to go now!

So what do you think? Do you like to mix and match manis as much as I do? Will you be heading over to BEGL to pick up that awesome green holo or any of the other Doctor Who polishes?
You have totally outdone yourself again! This is fantasticly fantastic, especially the middle fingers, amazing!
Aww thanks Kirby!! I’m glad you like it! I was pretty happy with this one myself 🙂
Love love love love love love!!!!!!!!
Woo hoo! So glad you like it Julie! Even though Mickey is probably my least favorite pseudo-companion, this polish is to die for and probably one of my favorites from your collection!
The gradient and stamping combo is gorgeous.
Thanks so much! I love stamping over gradients 🙂
Gorgeous combination indeed! That holo has me mesmerized.
Thanks! The holo is so much prettier in person too!
This is beautiful!! Those stamped nails are gorgeous!
Thank you so much! Those were my favorite too 🙂 I debated doing an entire mani that way, but I couldn’t resist that holo!
This entire manicure is gorgeous but Micky Smith is making me drool.
Thanks!! YES – Mickey Smith is definitely drool-worthy! It’s even more gorgeous in person!
So beautiful! Great job with the stamping!
Thank you so much! Essie’s chromes are perfect stamping polishes!
I love stamping with Essies! That holo is gorgeous and I actually love everything in this mani! Dots, holos, stamping, neutral gradient: you nailed it!
Thank you so much!! I agree – stamping with Essie’s chromes is amazing!
I love everything about this skittle!
Thanks 🙂
I love mix and match skittles. It’s like a buffet. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. You’re not stuck with just one thing. It’s my favorite kind of art. Great job. Everything looks gorgeous!!
I completely agree – skittles/ skittlettes are my favorites because they are a good way to channel my indecision into pretty nail art 🙂
Oh I really like this skittlette! Great job matching everything up perfectly!
Thanks so much!!
This is such a pretty combo – Awesome job
Thank you!
That gradient + stamping is stunning! What a fun mani!
Thank you so much! I love stamping over gradients 🙂
Beautiful mani! All of those colors look so pretty together.
Thank you so much! I loved how the green popped against the neutrals 😊
That stamp is so great!
Thank you!! I love MoYou London plates so much 🙂
This is beautiful!! I love all of the colors together and the stamping design you chose!
Thank you!! I thought they went pretty well together 🙂
Love the combo! I really like the gradient and stamping you did, they look gorgeous!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Amazing mani! I love the stamping over the gradient, it’s perfection ❤
Thanks!!
Very pretty combo!
Thank you!
This is stunning! One of my favourite things is picking out presents for people, too. 🙂
Thanks! It’s such a great feeling to watch people open up gifts you’ve picked for them 🙂
