Ice & Snow

Hello all!  As I write this, I am being informed that there is quite a scary winter storm approaching.  By "scary", I really mean "blizzard-like conditions" and I'm actually honestly not sure whether going to work is gonna be worth it.

So my nails reflect the ice and snow that will soon be all over this freaking place.  Give me my fuzzy socks, my warm gloves, and hot chocolate pronto.

For this manicure:

• Base Coat - Bonder by ORLY
• Thumb, Ring, & Pinky - What a Broad by Sephora by OPI; ice imitated via silver foil purchased from rue21
• Ponter & Middle - Endless Blue by Sinful Colors; stamped with iced silver by b.m.c. using SH202 plate by Shany Cosmetics
• Top Coat - Out the Door by inm

Approximate Completion Time: 1.5 hours

What happened was as I was taking more pictures, my camera decided to run out of battery :o then I charged my camera, and I was charging said camera, my nails got scratched and chipped.

But still, even having 2 good pictures beats having no pictures to show.

It's cold enough to start wearing socks to sleep o.o hopefully the cold doesn't get to the best of me.

That's all for me for today.  I hope you all stay warm wherever you are!! :)

Winter Chevrons

I seem to be capable of painting winter-themed nails only when I'm in the presence of snow and coldness.  California doesn't do that for me, which is why it helps that I'm currently in Colorado right now, with all the snow and cold outside.

For this manicure:

• Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
• Base Colors - Bess by Julep & Avalanche by China Glaze
• Chevron Colors - Jeanne by Julep & Char by Julep
• Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door
• Tools used - chevron stickers from BornPrettyStore, makeup sponge

Approximate Completion Time: 2.5 hours

Most of my time was spent waiting for the blue base to dry so I could overlay it with the chevron stickers and the gradient which would ensue.  But that's just nail art for you.

Be on the lookout for more winter/holiday-themed nail art soon!  But until then, stay warm out there! :)
