Reindeers and Sleigh

Pin It

Hi!

Crumpet's Nail Tarts had Reindeers and Sleigh for their Christmas Challenge. I really loved how this one turned out. 

I have heard of good reindeers, but mine have gone rogue. I realised that I wanted them to be Rudolph, the true goody-two shoe reindeer. So, I made a slight change. 

I loved this manicure. Did you? Don't forget to leave a comment. I would love to hear from you. And do check out the other Christmas challenge manicures :)

Polishes used:

Color Club Sugarplum Fairy (as base)

For stamping:

Konad black 

Plates: Bundle Monster 213 (sleigh), Konad M12 (reindeer)

Christmas wreaths

Hi lovelies,

I feel like wailing as all my efforts for the Christmas challenge has gone down the drain. But I will still showcase it here just to show that I technically met the challenge. This one is for Pink & Polished and Overpolished's challenge 'Wreaths'. 

The base is the super gorgeous Color Club Sugarplum Fairy. My accent nail is China Glaze Winter Holly for the green wreath, which is decorated with acrylic bows and dots. 

This challenge has made me realise how easy and fun it is to work with acrylic colours. Liked it? Do leave a comment below. I would love to hear from you :)

Hi lovelies,

I showed you Color Club Sugarplum Fairy here. The polish is awesomeness. But after a couple of days, I had this insatiable urge to stamp over it. And this is what I did.

Konad plate M78

I used Colorbar Exclusive 76 (black creme) to stamp this full nail design from Konad image plate M78.

The tipwear is visible in this macro shot, but not in real life. Pretty, ain't it? Do tell me how you like it :)

Hi lovelies,

After the bright and neony post, here's a glittering one. 

CC Sugarplum Fairy

This beauty is Sugarplum Fairy from Color Club's Beyond the Mistletoe Collection of 2011. The collection has six colorful and holographic glitters. This one is a lavender holographic duo-chromey glitter.

You can see here how the colour went from a beautiful lavender to a bluish purple. I love this glitter not just for the name (Who cannot love something called Sugarplum Fairy?) but for its strong holographic effect. The base is colourless unlike a couple of other glitters from this collection. The polish contains micro and hexagonal glitters.

Check out the rainbows!!! As expected of glitters, and one as loaded as this, the formula was thick. They also dry gritty. I used a coat of Seche Vite, and all was well with the world ;)

It dries pretty fast. Removal is not an issue if you layered it over glue/Fevicol like I did. 

CC Sugarplum Fairy one coat

This is just one coat of the polish. If you look carefully, you can see the Fevicol layered beneath. I used just two coats of Sugarplum Fairy for  full coverage. Isn't this glorious?

I wore this polish to church. And the woman sitting next to me just could not take her eyes off my nails. She just could not figure out how I got the rainbows on my nails. She was probably dying to ask me what it was, but being in church stopped her from doing so. I had fun watching her trying to catch a glimpse of my nails from the corner of her eye ;) 

Has such a thing ever happened to you? Do tell me about it.

How do you like this polish? Do leave me a comment below :)
