Christmas take one:

As promised I am back! I am still nursing some very short nails, but then again my nails have never really been long, anyways I'm kicking off the season with a very simple Christmas plaid design. I copied 100% from this site, she did a matte version & mine is a bit more sparkly!

Merry Christmas!

31DC2013 Day 17: Glitter

Yay glitter! One of the funner sides of being a woman is being able to wear glitter & get away with it! I got my inspiration from one of the ladies I follow on Tumblr: Freestyle Nails for the Masses, she did this very pretty design that kinda reminds me of stained glass windows a little, just some abstract lines that form little pockets that can be colored in different shades.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...

...but if the white runs out, I'll drink the RED! Actually, I would probably drink the red first as I do prefer it. Anyways, this is not a white Christmas manicure, but a red one & I had just found that joke the other day on Twitter so I thought it would be funny (insert giggle here)! In any case, it did inspire this simple red & gold mani so I figured I should post it.

I used my Butter London Pillar Box Red as my base color. I then did a side swipe of this pretty gold I found a long time ago, the brand is Pastel & the color is 400, but I can't find any reference to this online so I added a picture. It kinda has the same effect as the luxeffects do, just a light gold glitter. To enhance a little better added a gold line using acrylic paint.
