Let it Snow!

Hi everyone,

I came down with the flu this weekend and haven't slept well since Saturday. This sucks big times! BUT, I spent one of my sleepless nights doing something fun: NAILS!!!! :-)

Even though the snow hasn't showed up around here, I felt like doing something winter/holiday-like, after all, it's december - the holiday season!

I started with a blue gradient. I used China Glaze Millenium as a base, then I dabbed Orly Royal Navy and Zoya Crystal with a sponge over it. To give it a little spark, I dabbed some China Glaze Fairy Dust too.

Next, I stamped some white snow flakes from Bundle Monster image plate BM14 and painted a penguin with some acrylic paints. 

It was my first time using acrylic paints and I must say it was fairly easy to work with it. The macro picture shows all the small imperfections, but they aren't as visible when seen with naked eyes on the nails. :-)

More Bundle Monster...

One more idea for the Bundle Monster Contest.

For the base I used Herôme (a Dutch brand) White or Whithout. The polish wasn't the easiest to use. It took forever to dry and I used 3 coats to get an even finish. The final result was nice, but I'm still in search of the perfect white polish.

The roses come from the Bundle Monster plate BM14 and the leaves are from plate BM05 (just the lower part of the leaf in the middle of the plate). The colors used for the roses were China Glaze Grape Pop and Konad Special Polish Psyche Pink. For the leaves I used Konad Special Polish Apple Green. The tip was made with China Glaze Go Go Pink.

Since I was looking for something more colorful, I added a blue rose to the design (don't know the polish's name anymore).
