Christmas Stamping Skittles

This is my second attempt at a Christmas mani. I did one earlier using Sinful Colours' "Snow Me White" as the base for the white nails but it never dried (even though I painted those nails last night and used quick dry drops!). I redid it and here's the result:


-I used two coats of China Glaze's "Salsa" for the red nails, two coats of L.A. Colours' "Energy Source" for the white nails and two coats of Kleancolour's "Metallic Green" for the one green nail.
-Snowman nails: The image came from Shany's SH01 plate and I used white Konad special polish with my Konad stamping set to apply it. I used a toothpick to apply Sinful Colours' "Snow Me White" as snow. The snowman's face wasn't transferred so I used a toothpick to dot some eyes and a nose on.
-Candy cane nails: The pattern was from Shany's SH23 plate and the colour was done using red Konad special polish, followed by a second stamp with the same pattern using Kleancolour's "Metallic Green." As you can see, the red stamp wasn't very clean. I had the same problem the last time I used the red polish.
-Snowflake nail: The image came from Shany's SH17 plate and I used white Konad special polish again to apply the stamp.





Happy polishing!

Mash-Up Mani

Hello!

I recently bought Sephora by OPI's "Mash-Up" polish, which is part of their Glee collection. The description on the website said it was an opaque polish but it's actually quite sheer. Nevertheless, it was the base of my mani.


-I used four coats of "Mash-Up" to get an opaque finish. It's a duochrome which goes from greenish grey to rose, depending on the angle you look at it from.


-I applied two coat's of Revlon's "Stunning" to my ring finger and thumb, then used my dotting tool to apply dots of Kleancolour's "It Purple" to the tips.
-I used L.A. Girl Magnetic polish in "Attract" on the tips of my pinky and index nails in a diagonal manner. I intended to have magnetic patterned nails but the pattern didn't look the way I'd envisioned it so I used Kleancolour's "Pearl Silver" with my dotting tool to add dots along the diagonal line.
-For my middle finger, I used "It Purple" and "Pearl Silver" again. I first did three purple lines parallel to the length of my nail, starting a little bit away from the nail bed and continuing to the tip. I then added three thinner lines with the silver just inside the purple lines. After that, I added some silver and purple dots with my dotting tool.
-Top coat sealed the look.

Happy polishing!
