Christmas Traditions

This time I had a hard time to find what to make... Subthemes like family and dinner didn't give me a picture I could place on my nails. But caroling did.
I found some nice pics on the net, but I was sure my freehand work sucks, and I still didn't get decal paper to transfer the pictures. So I just kept it simple.

First I did a gradient with three polishes by p2: 110 ocean lady, 920 up in the air! and 010 frosted mint. Then I stamped the G-clef with notes (stamping plate MoYou London Roxy Collection 02), and "snowing notes" from the same plate. 

Then I paintes the singing faces with acrylics. And added some glitter from essence effect nails (flakes I'm so dreamy).

Holiday Colours

Christmas Winter Challenge - Day 3.
Today's theme is holiday colours (red, green, gold)

Just the day before I found a green glitter by Rival de Loop. 
 This green glitter has a translucent base and thus is good for using over colour base.
Other colours for the mani were:
 I used the Voyeuristic Green by alessandro for the accent nail. The other nails are red with red grained by Maybelline ColourShow series Vintage Leather. Vintage Leather has a matt finish and red glitter inside.
 Then I painted with the greens ( Voyeristic Green, p2 green palm tree, and Rival de loop Effect Green (the new glitter) to paint the christmas trees and the wide stripes on the accent nail. Also gold (Goldfinger by catrice) decorates the trees and Glitz and Glamour by Orly makes a Christmas tree top.
On the accent nail I applied the fimo pieces from essence Happy Holiday series. And a load of top coat, to keep fimo in place.
 
Daylight version:
Did it turn out christmas-like?

Winter Nature



It's supposed to look like my nails are frozen windows. "Windows glasses" are p2 frosted mint as base, then one coat of China Glaze Isle See You Later.
I painted "frosting" with acrylic white colour and let it without top coat, because the surface of acrylic paint is matt and contrasts the glossy "glass" beneath.

White Christmas

After some time of absolute desinspiration to write I hope to be back. ;) Meanwhile I increased the stock of polishes and plates in times and did some nice manis, but was to lazy to take pictures of it.
But I got motivated to take part in the Christmas winter challenge:

I used Color Club lumin-icecent (I think the shade is called so, but not sure), then 2 coats China Glaze "Isle See You Later", then essence snowflake topper from Happy holidays series. I spared only the accent nail from the two "topper", then stamped everything with Sugar Bubbles Special 02.
Let it snow!
