Holiday Nails v3

When I was younger, my mom and I would spend hours wrapping Christmas gifts in beautiful foil paper, complete with foil ribbons that we curled with scissors. That paper was a complete pain in the ass to work with because it didn't want to stay folded around the edges unless you used a crap ton of tape. But it made for absolutely beautiful wrapped gifts.

Today's nails were inspired by that wrapping paper. A berry base color with silver accents -both very sparkly. I included a picture of paper very similar to one of the ones my mom and I used to have.

Holiday nails, v2

Ya'll, those snowflake nails were hard to take off. No, really, the glitter. ;)

But actually, it was hard to get rid of them - I loved the little snowflakes on my fingers!

I decided I'd do a month of Holiday themed manis like I did in October, so here's the second set.

I don't have very many Christmas stamps, sadly, but I stamped on paper all the plates I thought might remotely look right, if done in the right colors.

Today's were not what I had originally planned on, but I love the final product more than my original idea!

Stamped with Revlon Rainforest and Shany SH05 and Sally Hansen Red Carpet and a no-name plate

Again, sorry for the crappy picture - daylight savings time is really messing with my sunlight time. :( (and I'm too lazy to set up other lights today.)

December

I can't believe this year is almost over!

Here it is already December and I feel like we should still be somewhere around late October.

I haven't updated in a couple of weeks, either, so there are a couple of recent manis missing from this blog. Oh well. On with the now, eh?

Here in Minnesota, we've only just been brushed with snow, thankfully, but I'm sure it's coming!

I've been wanting to do another jelly stampwich for a bit, so that's the inspiration for today's mani.

(Sorry about the crappy picture)
