Day 12: Christmas Tree Nails

 First of all, Merry Christmas if you celebrate! If you don't I hope you still have a fantastic day!
 Our last day, Day twelve with Marta, Marketta and Carolina is Christmas Tree Nails. I can't believe it's the last day, this challenge went by so fast!
 For Christmas tree nails I did sort of a zoomed in view of a tree with lights, silver garland, and red and blue ornaments. This one came out better than I thought it would, I like it and will probably use it again next year, maybe with some different ornaments though.
 The base is OPI Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow Suede and the rest is acrylic paint except for the glitter on a few of the ornaments, I used OPI Paris Couture For Sure for those.

Day 11: Coka-Cola Nails

 Today is Day eleven with Marta, Marketta and Carolina! This is the day I was most excited about because for one of our free days I knew I wanted to do Coca-Cola nails! It was a big challenge getting Santa right but actually didn't take that long. The wording had to be squeezed on and barely made it but I am super happy with this one though and am sure I won't want to take it off. If I had more time I would liked to have done the polar bears as well, next year maybe.
 I used OPI Wocka Wocka! for the base and the rest is acrylic paint.

 Here is it with our Coke glass box. 

 Merry Christmas Eve if you celebrate! Are you doing anything special tonight? Be sure to check out what Marta, Marketta and Carolina did today!

Day 10: Hello Kitty As A Reindeer

 Day ten already with Marta, Marketta and Carolina, it feels like this challenge has gone by so fast! Today is our second free day and I had to pull out Hello Kitty's Reindeer costume.
 Now, at first glance you may not notice, I didn't but I apparently forgot to fill in her bow! What is wrong with me lately? The middle and pinky fingers are supposed to be reindeer tracks. Anyways, I used China Glaze For Audrey and OPI Paris Couture For Sure as the base and the rest is acrylic paint.

 I am really excited about tomorrows nails, not sure how they will turn out but I can't wait to try it! Don't forget to check out what Marta, Marketta and Carolina did today! 

Day 9: More Wrapping Paper?

 Day nine is one of our three free days with Marta, Marketta and Carolina and I chose to do another wrapping paper design. At first I wasn't sure what I was going to do for today but while I was at the store yesterday I saw this wrapping paper and had to get it. The penguins and polar bears were too cute to pass up! Then, after I got home I knew I had to do a nail design for it so here it is.
 The wrapping paper I just had to have.

 My nail design from it. I was in a hurry so I didn't have much time to get this one done so it isn't great. I also forgot to give the penguin his other arm, oh well, I will try to make up for it tomorrow. I used OPI's Wocka Wocka! for the background.

 Don't forget to check out what Marta, Marketta and Carolina did today! 

Day 8: Glitter Nails

 Today is Day eight: Glitter Nails with Marta, Marketta and Carolina! I used one of my favorite glitters reserved for Christmas and that is China Glaze Party Hearty from their holiday collection last year. It is a layering polish and the silvery champagne background of OPI Designer...De Better! seemed to work perfect for it. I really like this combo, glittery and sparkly but not so over the top and in your face.

 What do you think, do you like full on glitter or just a subtle sparkle? Be sure to check out what Marta, Marketta and Carolina did for glitter nails! 

Day 7: Favorite Christmas Movie

 Day seven with Marta, Marketta and Carolina is Favorite Christmas Movie! One of my favorite Christmas movies, because I have a few, is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It was a staple at my house around Christmas along with many others. I always loved the Abominable Snowman in the movie most. I was going to do him and Hermy as well but ran out of time so I only did Rudolph.
 The background is supposed to be snow covered mountains but my husband says they look like white flames. I guess everyone else made it out of the wintery fire except Rudolph then? Although, he does look pretty happy, then again maybe he started it? I used Alpine Snow for the base and the rest is acrylic paint.

 Check out what Marta, Marketta and Carolina did for their favorite Christmas movie if you haven't! 

Day 6: Favorite Christmas Book

 Day six with Marta, Marketta and Carolina is Favorite Christmas Book! Frosty The Snowman from the Little Golden Book back in 1950 was my inspiration for today, you can see the picture I based my nails on here. I am really happy with how it turned out!

 Here is a close up of Frosty and one of the kids, they are so tiny!

Day 5: Wrapping Paper Nails

 Day five is Wrapping Paper Nails with Marta, Marketta and Carolina! Can you tell I am excited about this one! I always love checking out the new wrapping paper designs for Christmas. One of my favorite things about Christmas is wrapping presents. My Grandmother used to get me to help her wrap and she would occasionally trick me into wrapping my own gifts, she was a sly one! Which was fine by me but after she passed away years ago I always look back on that and find it hilarious, one of my most treasured memories of her. She always thought it was so funny when I recognized my own wrapping on my gifts.
 Anyways, blue and silver is my favorite Christmas colors so I used OPI's Blue My Mind and silver acrylic paint for my wrapping paper. I think this design looks very hard but it is super simple. I made a thin silver line then one thick one and so on then over the thick silver lines made blue dots back and forth to make a rickrack pattern.

Day 4: Candy Cane Nails

 Day four is Candy Cane Nails with Marta, Marketta and Carolina! I did traditional candy cane stripes using China Glaze's Mistletoe Kisses on my thumb and ring finger and Mrs. Claus on my index, middle and pinky finger. I did three coats of each and made the stripes using white acrylic paint. I love this design, so sparkly and very Christmas.

 Check out what Marta, Marketta and Carolina did for candy cane nails if you haven't already! 

Day 3: Green Nails

 Moving right along, we are already on day three with Marta, Marketta and Carolina and today is Green Nails! I had to wear China Glaze's Jolly Holly from last year. It is a beautiful dark green with shimmer, it seems to glow, this is two coats. I couldn't do anything over it today because it is just too pretty.

 Be sure to check out what Marta, Marketta and Carolina did for green nails! 

Day 2: Silver Nails

 Day two with Marta, Marketta and Carolina is silver nails! The first thing I thought of when I saw silver was a half moon mani with blue and that's what I did. It's very simple but I like the silver and blue together. I used OPI's Blue My Mind for the base and Gone Platinum In 60 Seconds for the tips.

 Don't forget to check out Marta, Marketta and Carolina to see their silver nails if you haven't already!
