12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge | Day 8 | Christmas Decorations

We are over half way through the Challenge Your Nail Art 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge. Today's theme is Christmas Decorations. The first thing that came to mind was Ornaments. When I think of decorating for Christmas I immediately think of decorating the Christmas tree with beautiful Ornaments. 

Items Used:

Nabi - Gray

Nabi - Green Glitter

Nabi - Yellotte (Not sure if this is misspelled on my bottle)

Salon Perfect - He's With Me

Sinful Colors - All About You

Sinful Colors - Silver Screen

I am super in love with how these turned out. Some of you may have noticed by now that I have used a ton of Nabi polishes during this challenge. I've been trying to get through some of my untried polishes while doing this challenge and so far I have gotten through quite a bit.

I hope everyone has enjoyed this challenge so far. Here's what is coming up!

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge | Day 7 | Red and Green

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the theme for day 7 of the Challenge Your Nail Art 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge was candy canes. Up until I actually did them I saw candy cane swirls. I was originally going to do a water marble but the only bottle of water I have at the moment is way to cold to work. So instead I went with a dry marble and couldn't be happier. I will be dry marbling a lot from now on.

Forgive the upside down watermark. I forgot to flip the picture before adding it.

  Items Used:

China Glaze - White on White

Pure Ice - Siren

Pure Ice - Free Spirit

LA Colors Rapid Dry

Toothpick

I absolutely love how these turned out. They are so christmas-y. I am now a new fan of dry marble. I loved them so much that I wanted to get a third picture of them. 

Whats coming up next?

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge | Day 6 | 12 Days of Christmas Song

Today's theme for the Challenge Your Nail Art's 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge is any line from the 12 Days of Christmas Song. I struggled with this one from the beginning on what to do. Then when I decided, It didn't go as planned. I choose to go with "7 Swans a Swimming."  My initial idea was to hand paint 7 swans which actually would have ended up as more of a valentines designs. Wrong month!!!! So as I was going through my stamping plates I found a cute little swan stamp. Let me just say that stamping hates me. When I got my first set of stamping plates my boyfriend actually stamped better than I did. Shhhh! Don't tell him I told you that. Anyways, I'm not at all happy with how these turned out but I wanted to share them anyways. Hope you like them more than I do.

Items Used:

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Wedding Glitters

China Glaze - White on White

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails - Cold as Ice

Gals Stamping Plate GA3 from the Princess Set

LA Colors Rapid Dry

The only thing I love about these? I actually stamped!!!! I was excited that they actually looked the way the plate looked. That's never happened before. Small steps I guess.

Still to come....

Oh and I want to mention that I had a snag on my index finger and forgot before I washed my hair and it snapped so I had to cut them down some.

I really love this guy. Did you notice the "Baby its cold outside" on my index finger? My first time writing anything on my nails. 

I tend to collect what I call Novelty nail polish bottles. Last year at Christmas time I picked up a cute little snow man bottle at Sally's. Now with my novelty polishes, I DO NOT OPEN THEM. For me they are my collector bottles. I've been dying to do something with my little snow man so as an added bonus.........

How cute? Hope you enjoyed today's theme. Check back for more to come!
