Digit-al Dozen: Festiveness, Day 5

When it came down to the last day of the challenge (which I'm late in posting!), I thought what can be more festive than a few different ways to say Merry Christmas?  So this is the mani I'm sharing now, which is the stamping I had done when I originally did the mani featuring Oopsie Daisies Carols by Candlelight a couple posts ago.....which was a perfect festive backdrop!

Oopsie Daisies Carols by Candlelight, by itself, two coats, topped with SV.

When I received Oopsie Daisies Carols by Candlelight the first thing that came to my mind was Christmas.  Simple.  Pure.  Christmas.  Are there any other colours that scream Christmas more than green, red and white?  

Started with a base of Sinful Colors Exotic Green.  This is two coats, no topcoat.  I thought this was a fabulous green base, perfect for some holiday nails....until I took it off a couple days later and seen the horror of green staining despite two layers of base coat. 

Added a layer of Oopsie Daisies Carols by Candlelight, then a coat of SV.

In case I haven't said this enough already, this simply is Christmas in a bottle.  So I was thinking Christmas, holidays, trees, wreaths...but the day I went to wear this, I had already done a wreath and tree mani just a few days before and wanted to add some different type of stampings.  So, again, with Christmas on the brain, I thought, what more appropriate stamping than an assortment of ways to say Merry Christmas.  And sure enough, I was able to find an assortment of images along these lines. Edited to add plates which I forgot!  Holly is W220, thumb Merry Christmas and Noel on middle is Dash 11, Happy Holidays on ring is W215, Feliz Natal on middle is Apipila 05, pinky Merry Christmas and Seasons Greetings on index is W233.

Happy Festivus Festiveness....Merry Christmas.....Noel....no matter how you say it; enjoy the Season!

Here's the other mani's from Day 5 to check out!

Digit-al Dozen: Festiveness!

It was a thrill to be asked to join the Digit-al Dozen for their monthly challenges and this is my first time participating...unfortunately, I failed because the group does five consecutive daily posts starting yesterday; and for a variety of reasons, I wasn't able to post.  So I'm joining up with the group today and I'll be sharing four out of five days this month! 

Here's the mani I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of China Glaze Adventure Red-y and Ulta Green and Wear it, topped with SV.

Stamped using Konad white special polish using an assortment of image plates (Apipila 05-angel on middle finger, W232-wreath on index; SdP 56-bells on thumb, fauxnad E03-holly on thumb, QA19-small bells on index and random snowflakes and Nailways- ornaments on pinky, gingerbread man and tree on index, candle on thumb).

Added a few random dots using yellow Konad special polish for a splash of colour.

Topped with SV. 

A few of the other ladies in the group have the inlinkz posted at the bottom of their posts but I haven't figure it out yet (hopefully I will for tomorrows post! lol) but I do urge you to check out their posts which should all join up at the link!   There's a lot of awesomeness in these.....the creativity is phenomenal!

Thanks for looking!
