52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge - Dark Green Christmas Nail Art

Hi - I am incredibly late with this, but determined to get all of this nail art posted! I've been sick for a few weeks, but I'm finally better so now it is time to catch up. Today, I have some Christmas tree inspired nail art to share and I'll be showing off a new dark green polish that is great for the holiday, too!

The base for this is The New Black Parrot Green. It is a nice opaque, dark green cream. I used regular clear tape for to mask the trees, then painted in the triangle with one coat of Julep Dahlia, then one coat of Sassy Lacquer Nutty As A... to add some Christmas sparkle.

Here is what Parrot Green looks like by itself. This is two coats, plus one coat of Seche Vite. Try to ignore the dents...the laundry wasn't going to do itself. :)

Hooray for Christmas! I cannot wait! Now, since I am so super behind, I will probably post several days in a row to get back on track with this challenge. Wish me luck! ;)

Sassy Lacquer Winter 2012 Collection

Woo! I am trying my first ever winter collection, and I am so excited. My love of everything Christmas and winter means that I love each and every one of these unique colors. They all have something special about them. When I got the box in the mail, I couldn't wait to open it. I know everyone is already moving on their spring collections, BUT it's still winter here in the frigid north for at least 3 more months, so without further ado, here they are!

This is Shimmering Sugarplums. It is a pretty purple base with green and silver hex glitters, and tiny purple glitters. It's purdy. I painted it over Pure Ice French Love Affair, which you can see below.

This is Jack Frost. I love snow, so this one makes me quite happy. It's a light blue base with tiny teal glitters, small white glitters, and larger white square glitters. It looks just like a light snowfall on a bright winter day. Good snowboarding weather. :)

Next up is Yeti Yeti Yeti. It is an iridescent base with tiny teal glitters, small white and silver glitters and larger white hex glitters. I painted it over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, which I swatched below.

 

This is the most Christmas-y one of the bunch, Boughs of Mint Holly. It's a light green base with an iridescent shimmer, small silver glitters and red shard glitter. I luuurve it. :D

Burgermeister Meisterburger is one that should be familiar, as I broke it out during my 10 Day Holiday Nail Art Challenge a few weeks ago. This is painted over Pure Ice Kiss Me Here. Here's a pic of Burgermeister Meisterburger again. :)

 
And last, but not least is Nutty As A... It's got pretty tiny gold glitters with larger red, purple ad green hex glitters. I painted it over AVON Glimmering Gold.

All in all, I love this collection and am so happy to own it. Thank you so much to Carrie of Sassy Lacquer for creating these beautiful polishes and for the free shipping, which I won in a giveaway! Love your polish. Thank you!!

10 Day Holiday Nail Art Challenge: Day 6 - Holiday Movie

So, I am rapidly running out of time, but there was so much going on, I didn't get s chance to post this. I fully intended to have this done for Christmas day, but well, I was having too much fun. :) So, without further, ado, here are my nails inspired by a holiday movie. I chose Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

I was inspired by this polish I got from Sassy Lacquer called Burgermeister Meisterburger. Heehee it made me so happy. I painted it over Pure Ice Kiss Me Here on all my nails except the middle one. As you can see, on the middle, I did my best to draw a little portrait of Burgermeister Meisterburger himself. Even though its not the best, I can't stop smiling whenever I look At it. :D Here's another pic!

Thanks for looking and be sure to check out what the other participants have done!
