Merry Christmas and a Festive Mani!

Good morning and Merry Christmas!  My family woke up bright and early to start opening presents.  The kids have already played with most of their new toys and now are settling down to build Lego play sets.  I made a fun breakfast of eggs and rainbow sprinkle pancakes.  They turned out cute and were super yummy!  Of course I made enough to feed an army, oops.  Anywho, I wanted to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas.  Hope your day is full of laughter and love and memories that you will always cherish.  I'll be heading off to my parents house soon but not before I take a minute to share my Christmas mani.  I found this idea on pinterest, looks like it was created by @iloveyou432 (maybe that's an instagram or twitter name?).  Well I took the idea and made it my own - hope you like it!

I used 8 polishes to create this mani so I will provide the main website link for each brand instead listing out all the social media links.  I did a different design on each finger and love how happy they all turned out!  It's like a party on my nails!  Here's my party lineup - Gingerbread Man, Snowman, Santa, Christmas Tree and Snowflake.

Blue Christmas Mani

Good afternoon!  We are getting down to the wire here to share Christmas/Holiday themed manis so I figured I may as well just get them all posted!  I did a Blue Christmas mani and I was extremely happy with how it turned out.  Let's go ahead and look at the pictures!

I started with Lumina Lacquer Homesick at Space Camp on my thumb, middle and accent nails.  I used 2 coats but easily could have used 1.  I wanted the richest blue hue I could get and this was the perfect choice!  Plus it's holo!   I topped my middle nail with 2 coats of Lynnderella Ice the Snowcake, a lovely white glitter topper that also has a nice serving of holo and iridescent shimmers.  

On my index and pinky nails I used The Nail Junkie Snowflake.  This shimmery white polish is absolutely perfection!  It's soft and delicate and really looks like snow glinting in the light.  I used 3 coats and as you can see there is still a very slight visible nail line, but it really looks clean and classy so it didn't bother me one tiny bit.  It gives a "my nails but better" look.  I then got adventurous and hand drew snowflakes over Snowflake using Homesick at Space Camp.  I finished everything up with a thick layer of topcoat. LOVE!
