I can't believe Christmas is already over!! It came and went so quickly this year I didn't even have much time to enjoy it. I spent most of Christmas and Christmas Eve at my parents house and I ended up playing all manner of silly games with my niece! She also got a Dippin Dots maker AND a Blizzard maker from my brother and we got to make a complete mess making ice cream and soda dots. Whoever decided an ice cream maker for children should require you to turn the cream for 10 FULL minutes was clearly not using their head. So guess who ended up churning cream for forever? Lol...but I digress. Here are my lazy day nails for the 31 Days of Christmas Challenge. I used Orly Ma Cherie for the base on the red nails and Deborah Lippmann Do Ya Think I'm Sexy for the glitter. The gold nail is Barry M Gold Foil with Milani Gems in Gold over the top. They got quite a few compliments for being so simple! Thanks for following!  I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays!

Well it looks like I got a little flummoxed about the days for the 31 Days of Christmas Challenge. Seems that I should have posted my glitterbomb yesterday instead of the pudding nails. But, alas, it's too late now! The one rule of the challenge and I've already broken it! lol...still I'm going to keep trying to complete all the mani's!  So here's my late and untimely Christmas glitterbomb.  I used China Glaze Love Marylin (from the gorgeous new Eye Candy 3D glitter collection) and then added a coat of OPI Fresh Frog of Bel Air.  After that I alternated coats of the two for a total of four coats.  It was much more sparkly than this picture makes it look!  But still, very Christmas-y!

So it's Day 20 of the 31 Days of Christmas Challenge and today's theme is The Nativity.  I was a little bit freaking out about this one.  I am NOT good at drawing faces or people (unless stick figures count!)  so I knew that even attempting to put the actual nativity on my nails would be a hot mess.  And seriously, who wants to be the person who made baby Jesus look a mess? Not me.  So I decided to go with a more abstract version of the Nativity.  Obviously some aspects of it are missing but I think I covered the important parts.  Just in case my art is TOO abstract, I'll break it down for you!  The thumb is the manger.  No baby Jesus can be seen but I used gold to represent hay and also possibly the sort of 'glow' he seems to have in certain depictions.  The index is meant to represent Mary.  In all the nativity I've seen she always has a white under gown, white head piece and blue cloak on.  The middle is representative of Joseph so it's his cane.  The ring finger is the star and the pinky is a sheep.  I know what you're thinking...wouldn't an angel have been a better choice than the sheep?  And you're probably right.  But I love sheep and let's face it, they're cuter than angels any day of the week! :P

Enjoy and thanks for following!

Colors are:
Thumb: Models Own Concrete Mixer, China Glaze Ingrid, Catrice In the Bronx, and Orly Luxe
Index: Ulta Snow White and China Glaze Aqua Baby
Middle: Essie Sand Tropez, China Glaze Ingrid, and Catrice In the Bronx
Ring: Orly Stone Cold, MFL Space Lift,and butterLONDON Diamond Geezer
Pinky: China Glaze Recycle, Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black, and Ulta Snow White

Well I'm finally caught up ladies (and possibly gentlemen!)! It's day 19 of the 31 Days of Christmas Challenge and that means today's inspiration is candles.  I immediately knew I wanted to work a menorah into this one! And today was the perfect day for it.  I know it doesn't have the proper number of candles.  I did try to do two on each nail but it just didn't look as pretty.  And the bottom doesn't fit as perfectly under the candles as I wanted either but you can still see what's going on here! All in all I think it came out rather nice! :)

Base coat is: China Glaze Blue Years Eve

Day 18 of the 31 Days of Christmas Challenge is your favorite Christmas carol/song. My favorite Christmas song has and probably always will be White Christmas.  Nothing is better than Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. :)  I love the song, the movie...the everything.  Though it doesn't look like it will be a white Christmas here this year. :(  I also LOVE the song Baby It's Cold Outside, but only when sung by Zooey Deschanel (who I may or may not have a total girl crush on.  Ok...do. But she's GORGEOUS and so classy).  Anyway...this is kind of a combo theme.  I HATE the crackle I did on the accent nail but it wasn't super noticeable anyway!  

Enjoy and thanks for following! What's your favorite Christmas song?

So it's time for Day 16 of the 31 Days of Christmas Challenge and that means today's inspiration is Fairy Lights.  I wasn't super creative on this one! I just did a line of fairy lights trailed across my nails! But it was super sparkly and pretty!  It looks a little gritty in this picture but it didn't look like that in real life.  I need a new camera badly!! Hear that Santa?

Enjoy and thanks for following! 

Base is: GOSH Metallic Green with two coats of Orly Here Comes Trouble

Tips are: China Glaze Ruby Pumps

You'll have to forgive my lateness on these challenges.  I'm never late.  Ever.  But I've been having some serious migraines lately amd it's hindering my ability to do much uploading.  These are my nails for the snowman challenge.  I really wasn't excited about these and I've seen a bunch that are better than mine!  But they came out pretty well considering!

Enjoy and thanks for following!

Base is: Ulta Snow White

Followed that on all nails with one coat of Nails Inc. The Old Vic and then added a coat on all nails but accent of China Glaze SnowGlobe.
