Manicure Monday (texture nails) + Monthly Pedicure (Aurora Gel Polish) and some November Cozy Comforts!

I love some added goodies on my nail night! I was inspired to share them with you this week because the November Beauty Bloggers theme is "Cozy Comforts" - here are some goodies I use to take my Manicure Mondays to the next level! 

• Candle - this one is Farm Fresh Apple Preserves
• Foot Scrub - this is Flip Flop Foot Fix Dry Foot Scrub
• Foot Lotion - this one is Mentha Foot Tingling Foot Cream
• Hand Lotion - this one is Healthy Hand and Nail Conditioning 

For my Manicure this week, I thought I would do texture nails - here are the products I used:

• Formula X Nail Cleanser and Base Coat
• Trust Fund Beauty in "Elegantly Wasted"
• OPI in "To Be Or Not To Beagle"
• Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat

Here are the steps I followed for this week's Mani:

1. Nail Cleanser and Base Coat

2. 1 coat of base polish

3. Let dry and add 1 coat of texture polish

4. Top Coat

Here is my final result:

I love the colors in the OPI texture polish! 

Now, for my monthly Pedicure I really wanted to try a Gel Polish out - here is a look at the products I used:

• Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat
• Aurora Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in "Inky Dinky" (from Ipsy)
• Formula X Nail Cleanser and Base Coat

Here are the steps I followed for this month's pedicure:

1. Nail cleanser and base coat

2. 2 coats of gel effect polish

3. Gel Top Coat 

Here is a look at my final result:

This polish looks super dark on, but I quite like it - it is a little more purple than this picture shows!
