Happy New Year: Best of 2018!

I bet you thought I would forget, didn't you? It's that time of year again--time for my annual Best Of post featuring my favorite nail designs that I did in the year prior. I did this for 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, so there was no way I was letting this tradition stop.

I am happy to report that 2018 saw the exact same number of posts as 2017....73 strong. However, there were notably less nail-related posts in 2017. I am going to try to get back to doing at least a few more nail designs on the blog. After all, it is Nikki's Nail Files, after all. Anyway, here are my top 10 favorite manicures from 2018:


10.  My Eagles Superbowl manicure from February.

9. A classic and chic twist on tips with bit of glitter from March.

8. My Saint Patrick's Day manicure from March. 

7.  My nails celebrating civic duty from November.

6. My simple black and white stamped flower pedicure from March.

5. My simple yet festive Easter 2018 manicure from April. 

4. Moving on now to this blue blizzard manicure I painted in January.

3. Coming in at #3 are these festive fiery nails I painted for my buddy's birthday in February.

2.  For #2 I have two designs that are so closely related I have to count them as one. I really loved how my first attempt at marble nails came out...both on my fingernails and my toes!

And my absolute favorite manicure from this year is.....my Snowy Day manicure from March. I just loved how the stamped trees came out and how the background looks like a snow globe.

I'm looking forward to all the nail designs I'll do in 2019!
