... Aussie Christmas Nail Challenge - Elf ...


By now I'm sure regular readers would have realised my sense of humour ... todays theme is "Elf" and while I could go for the traditional green and white colours - all I could think of in my head is this below.


SANTA!!!!! I KNOW HIM!!!!

So here are my Santa nails - really easy to do and I think they look ok considering it's been awhile since I've done any tape manis and I'm really in a lot of pain at the moment after visiting the dentist. Super sensitive teeth = ouch ouch ouch :(
Colours used are Butter London - Pillar Box Red, Ulta 3 - Lily White, Ulta3 - Black Satin and Gosh - Holographic Hero
I should have used a gold for the belt buckle but that's a lesson for next time!!

... Aussie Christmas Nail Challenge - Summer Sunset ...

I'm actually really pleased how this one worked out! This is my summer sunset! I've chosen to go for a gradient of oranges, red and a purple and then stamp on the top!
Colours used are ...
B Collection by Bloom - St Tropez
Essie - Meet me at sunset [appropriate!]
Maybelline Colorama - 15 Candy Apple
Maybelline Colorama - 67 Wonder Violet
I've stamped over the top using Ulta3 Black Satin and I've used the stamping plate from Lilic's A04

... Aussie Christmas Nail Challenge - Cult Nails -Bitten...

Last year was my first Christmas as a blogger and I really wanted to get into the festive spirit but found it was extremely difficult to get into the mood of challenges when they were all about snow and cold and winter ... bit hard to get imaginative on those themes when it's stinking hot outside and you've been hibernating under the airconditioner for the past week.

But hurrah ... how I'm going to go with this challenge I dunno - especially with clashes on dates with the other Aussie challenge I'm currently participating in - but we'll give it a go!
I got lucky for Day 1 ... I'd been to visit the beautiful Kristy from The Polish Haven yesterday and did my nails there with this fantastic new Cult Nails polish.
This pretty is Bitten and it's definitely unique on my colour wheels. I don't have anything that it's close too and the best I can come up with is that it's like a darker version of Orly Star Spangled.
All these swatches are 3 coats and it had fast drying time and no lumps or bubbles! Really pretty! Seriously! Look at it!!!
** Final Verdict **
I have seriously no complaints about this polish at all. It's pretty to look at, it sparkles, what more could a girl want!!
