Stone Cold Snowflakes

I was starting to feel left out for not doing a snowflake mani, I was going to save mine until after Christmas but I was getting kind of tired of red and green so figured it was time. For the mani I used Orly Stone Cold, which I think is my new favorite dark blue. It's both bright and dark at the same time! I think it's in part to the small flakies (large shimmer?) that makes this polish pop. I then proceeded to stamp with XL Special Holiday plate K, m59, and BM-14. I used China Glaze Adore, China Glaze Devotion, and Konad Special Polish in white for my snowflakes. Excuse the lack of clean up as I was racing the sun to take pictures...I have decided I just need to cave and build a light box. LOL!

I then decided to sponge some iridescent glitter on top. I used an unnamed pink to purple to blue giltter from Shades of the Season and then Sinful Colors Smoking Hot. I still haven't decided whether this was a good idea or not, I think I liked it better before the glitter. What do you think?

Black Friday Mani (a day late)

This was my Black Friday mani, unfortunately I didn't get a chance to post it yesterday as we went out of town to visit my mother for our Second Thanksgiving Dinner with her and my step-father. So excuse the sloppy cleanup as I was in a hurry.

I opted for black and green. Black for black friday and green for all the money being spent.

Macro of Resolution over black

This is two coats of Wet n Wild Ink Well followed by one coat of Sally Hansen HD Resolution on all but the accent nail which got one coat of my un-named Shades of the Season green glitter. After looking at the pictures I realize that I should have used two coats of Resolution to fix the streaks that showed up with just the one. Otherwise, I liked it.
