IndieAna- In Search of the HolyGrail

Of course I couldn't let December go by without creating some Festive nails. Rather than a design, I wanted to incorporate some colours that came to mind when I thought of the Christmas season. Those colours being gold, silver, red and green.  Alternating each nail I applied gold and silver base colours, Naturistics "Chrome Crazy" and a gold polish that has no label whatsoever on it, helpful! Lol. With a small fan brush on each nail I painted stripes of green and red polish, Illamasqua "Viridian" and Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine in "Dazzling".  As much colour as I had going on, I couldn't resist a little sparkle so finished with a coat of LA Colors "Glitter Bomb".  Do you do something special on your nails for Christmas?

Nothing represents Christmas to me more than the sparkle of tinsel. I decided to try and recreate this on my nails. Sally Hansen "Dazzling" and Illamasqua "Viridian" Red and green are very festive colours, so I alternated these base colours on my nails. Then using some clear polish for adhesive, I sprinkled on the gold and purple glitter on each nail. I hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas xx

As promised, I wanted to show you another attempt at using loose glitter shadow on my nails. My first look can be seen here . I actually created this look right before Christmas, but due to a backlog, I'm only getting around to blogging about it now, oops! Wanting to incorporate the 3 remaining Mon Ennui glitter shadows into this look, I decided to use Illamasqua Viridian, a gorgeous forest green, as my base colour. I then applied a coat of Orly 54 for the glitter to adhere to. For my feature nail, I added 2 nail art studs. Gosh, I just love that green! :)
