Not Your Typical Christmas Nails!

When I sat down to do my nails a couple nights ago, I was wanting to do something a little bit less traditional to wear, but still in the holiday spirit, if that makes sense as I was tiring of wearing red, green and white!  This is what I came up with!



Started with a base of two coats of Butter London Gobsmacked with accent fingers of Esmaltes da Kelly Citrino, no top coat.



Top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



Stamped using CND Gold Chrome using Bundle Monster BM-H03; accent fingers are BundleMonster BM-SE1 using black Konad.



BM-H03


Top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



I thought the stamping on the BundleMonster nails might be more visible if they were matted so topped with OPI Matte.



I was going to initially stamp all fingers with the floral images and in hindsight, I wish I would have done that as think the fine stamping on BL Gobsmacked gets lost, but do like the colour combination of the charcoal and gold; I'm sure I'll try it again another time!  I'm on the fence about this one; maybe more traditional colours would have been the way to go lol!

Have You Been Naughty or Nice?

With Christmas just 10 short days away, Santa's is making his list, and checking it twice, to see if you have been naughty or nice!  

Started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (no pix as have shown before; in fact, I didn't take as many progress pix as I went along as I typically do).

Using black Konad special polish and Mundo de Unas stamping polishes in blue (#4), red (#9), yellow (#11),  brown (#22) and green (#48), stamped using various image plates; MoYou Fairytale Collection-10 (bear and ball on ring, blocks and rocking horse on pinky), BM-SE1 (present on ring), Chez Noel 003 (tree on middle), Chez Noel 002 (holly on index, stars), Poupee (words on middle), Big SdP P (thumb) and BP-01 (Santa on index).

Filled in the background words on the thumb and stamped holly from Chez Noel 02, then added red dots on index, a few stars here and there for filler. (Really botched the holly on the index finger; pretend you don't see it!)

Top coated to finish.

Are you on the nice list or the naughty list?

Digit-al Dozen Does Red, Green and Gold; Day 3

Day 3 of the Digit-al Dozen challenge! I just realized that this is the third consecutive mani that I've posted where I've fished out glitters from KBShimmer Kringle all the Way.  At this rate, I'm going to have to order a replacement bottle just to have for mani's and use the one I have for glitter fishing! 

Started with a base of two coats of Smitten Polish Enchanted Forest with an accent of China Glaze Mingle with Kringle, no topcoat.  (Please excuse the little lump on the middle finger.  There was something in my base coat and in the interest of time, I didn't remove it, not realizing it would seem so obvious in the pix!)

Added a layer of KBShimmer Kringle all the Way on accent.  I must say, this is a perfect combination for the holiday season!  I have a note to do a full mani like this at some time over the holidays; perhaps New Year's Eve....



Added stamping using BM-SE1 using CND Gold Chrome as the stamping polish





Fished out a few glitters from KBShimmer Kringle All the Way to accent the stamping.





.Topped with SV to finish.





Have you been enjoying Red, Green and Gold week?  I've pretty much been sticking to holiday themed mani's so far but have been hugely impressed with the other ladies coming up with some creative mani's that aren't centered around the holidays!

Here's the other ladies Day 3 mani's!
