Another Christmas Mani

I did this mani quickly late last night...not terribly detailed because it was late and I was getting tired, especially after cramming alllllll my Christmas shopping into Saturday and Sunday. My brain was saying yes, continue to shop Sunday night as the stores were open late.....but my feet were saying no more, no more! I should have learned my lesson from when I went to the US last year and wore boots doing all that walking...that massive shopping trips call for running shoes!

Started with base of Color Blast by Orly in Reflection. (I didn't take pix of base, sorry). Topped with a coat of Cover Girl Goddess. I kinda goofed up here, probably because I was tired because I should have hand painted in the moon on my pinky before I topped with Goddess....but I forgot, so after I hand painted it in, I put another thin coat of Goddess on my pinky.

Stamped using Konad black special polish using T45 (reindeers), D-01 (sleigh), D-07 (words Merry Christmas) and SdP C-19 (Santa).

Topped with coat of SV. Here's my not often seen right hand, which I stamped slightly different using Christmas themed stamps.

Is your Christmas shopping done? I'm done...I think. Now just need to find the time to do some wrapping!

Thanks for looking!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Yep, another Christmas mani...my Christmas tree manicure.



And what do you hope to find under a Christmas tree on Christmas morning... presents! So I added a couple....



Three coats of OPI Alpine Snow matte, topped with OPI Happy Anniverary for a little sparkle action. Stamped using fauxand IP T45 and HB 36, using Konad green and black special polishes. Oh, and a few coloured rhinestones to bling it up!



This pix was taken this morning in my back yard...that IS snow in the background...so it looks like we are going to have a White Christmas this year...the first in quite a few years!

Thanks for looking!

More Snowflakes!

I finally got around to picking up OPI DS Magic...while I had seen it at Chatters in September or so, I wouldn't pay the $15 they were asking for it, so I had to wait for the local beauty supply place to get it in stock.....unfortunately, I didn't get the other DS Radiance so used OPI DS Corononation instead for the accent finger....*make note to self to pick up Radiance next trip*....

As you may recall, I got some new image plates on Friday. This is another new plate, T45 which has a full nail snowflake stamp. The accent nail is using fauxnad A39. Stamped using Konad blue special polish and Nicole by OPI Positive Energy.

I got this image plate at Nail Art and Mehr...they also have a few other new T series plates. I know that Chez Delaney was selling T series plates too, but I don't know if they have these ones or not...but they have developed their own series of plates that seem really cool....

And here's OPI DS Magic and Coronation before stamping....

And for those of you who enquired about that A series plate from last post, I contacted the supplier where I got them. Unfortuantely, they won't be selling them on their website. I had seen them on a blog in Europe and contacted a nail art distributor there who ordered them just for me. Once a few people enquired about where I got them, I contacted them and asked if they would consider selling them. They said they were too difficult to obtain from the supplier to sell on a regular basis...I would suggest that anyone looking for them check out whomever already sells the A series plates (ie Chez Delaney) or maybe one could swap with a fellow nail art fanatic iwho has access to them in Europe... and maybe one day, they may decide to sell them. Sorry! If I ever find out who has them, I'll be sure to post!

Are you tired of snowflake mani's yet...I think this is four in a row for me...

Thx for looking!
