Good morning and Happy 2018!!!!  I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year!!!  Now we enter that awkward 3 week period where we continue to write 2017 on all our papers and documents.  Work will be super fun!

Today I'm here to share with you my Monthly Mani Favorites for December!!  Tomorrow I'm going to share my favorites of the year, which I probably should have planned this out better and had this as the last post of December, then the year recap on as the first post of 2018.  Oh well, maybe I'll learn this year.

Let's take a look!

• The One With the Christmas Branch Nail Art - Super proud of this manicure because I was able to successfully create a layered tree branch look.  It's taken me awhile to figure out acrylics and how to blend and make them work to my advantage, and this is the first manicure I feel like I was really able to do so!  Can't wait to re-create this one next year.
  
• The One With the Santa Claus Nail Art - Nine Zero Lacquer Santa Suit plus a cute little Santa?  How could this one not be one of my favorite designs for December.  I also loved this design because it perfectly matched my Santa leggings I wore for Christmas.
  
• The One With the Annual Christmas Light Strand Nail Art - Love this design every year, and love Nine Zero Lacquer Twinkle Lights.  Love the polish, hate the removal process.  Took me like 20 minutes to take the polish off. Still think it's a great design!
  
• The One With the Final Christmas Manicure - Another manicure where I'm super proud of my acrylic layering skills.  Ahhh this makes me excited for 2018 and all the floral designs I can create now that I'm not so scared of my acrylics.  Maybe I really can paint on a larger canvas.....
