Twice the fun: Snowflakes and Snowfall

Pin It

Hi lovelies,

Once again, I get to combine two challenges in one. This one meets the Snowflake theme in the Getting Ready for Christmas Challenge as well as the Snowfall theme by Californails's Totally Doable Challenge.

The base is the gorgeous China Glaze United, a rose mauve textured glitter. I stamped snowflakes with designs from the Bundlemonster Holiday Plates collection.

It was a very delicate and glittery looking manicure. I liked it, did you?


Colours used: 

Base: China Glaze United

Frosty Snowmen nails

Pin It

Hi fellow lacqueraders,

Pink & Polished and Overpolished threw snowmen up as a Christmas challenge. 

I had planned on doing some other design for my nails. After seeing how this turned out, I am kicking myself for not following through with my original idea. Time dictated that I stamp instead of paint and the end result proved to be disastrous as you can see here. But since I did not have time to redo it, here's my sorry excuse of a manicure :(

Nothing really worked out for me. The snowflakes would 'flake' off and the red/white snowman I had planned on the accent nail just could not take the heat. It melted  :P

And that is the last photograph of the torturous manicure that I have forced you to look at. Good or bad, don't forget to leave me a comment. I love to read all your inputs. 

Polishes used:

Deborah Milano Sense Tech Mat Oil Blue (Half-mani base)

Jade Psicodelica (silver holographic at the tips)

Stamping polishes:

Konad white (snowman)

Revlon Grape, Earthquake, Orchid Chrome for snowflakes 

Stamping Plates:

Snowman: Bundlemonster 318 

Snowflakes: Bundlemonster 14, Bundlemonster 323, OB 19

White Christmas, Snowy Christmas

Pin It

Hello lovelies,

How are you doing? Today I bring to you snow white nails. Erm, they are not exactly snow white, but you get the idea :) 

As you know, I am taking part in a couple of challenges at the same time. Sometimes, they all work out together. Today, Pink & Polished Challenge (Day 2) threw up Favourite Holiday Song while Crumpets first task is themed snow/snowflakes. The Holly Jolly Challenge (Day 2) for next Monday is 'Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow' while Plump and Polished (Day 3) seeks a tape manicure. 

So can you guess my favourite Christmas song? One of my most favourite bands is Boney M. I love all their Christmas renditions but my favourite is 'White Christmas.' I just love this song. Maybe it is because it never ever snows in Ahmedabad. In fact, it is bloody sunny even in winters as you can see  from the above picture :( 

This song is how I imagined they celebrated Christmas in the cold countries. Such beautiful lyrics: Where the treetops glistened and children listened to hear sleigh bells in the snow!

I used craft scissors, scotch tape and A-England St George to create my abstract treetops covered in snow. Here's an upside-down shot of the snowed-in world :)

Another shot of the manicure. Can you spot Nubar White Polka Dots on my nails? (Psst... check out the pinkie.)

So, do you like my manicure or think it is a fail? Don't forget to comment. I would love to hear your thoughts.  

Colours used: 

Revlon Powder Puff (matte white suede base) 

Nubar White Polka Dots (pearlescent micro and medium white glitter) 

A-England St George (Scattered teal holo for the tips) 

Stamping:

Revlon Budding Chrome
