GRFC Challenge - Christmas Movie Inspired

Today is the 9th day of Getting Ready for Christmas Challenge and today's theme is Christmas Movie Inspired!!!

There were lots movies to choose from, and I personally loved them all. But I decided on this one!!!!

The Santa Clause!!!

Anddd here's my inspired mani!!!!


I started with my fail proof red polish; China Glaze Ruby Pumps... :) Two coats on my nails... Gorgeous as ever...

On my index and pinkie, I freehanded Santa's belt... Not perfect as you can see, but from a distance, it looks acceptable... :)

And for the middle and ring fingers, I stamped the sweter design from Nailz Craze NC03 plate with white stamping polish.

Fun and festive... What do you think????

GRFC Challenge - The Christmas Red

Oh, no I'm falling behind in Getting Ready for Christmas Challenge!!!! Well, behind my schedule, I should say... :) I was planning to finish the challenge on Christmas day, but I think I will need a couple more days... LOL

Anyway, for today, day 8, the theme is Christmas Red...

Honestly, I don't own many red polish. I have 3 or 4 tops. I don't know why, but it may be bacause red is a flashy color and I prefer to go with simple colors...

Anyway, one of the best reds in my collection is Catherine Arley 800, the red holo! I have two coats on my nails and application was a breeze... No special base coats needed... :) It isn't a in your face holo, a more subtle one but it is still pretty..

I decided giving my MoYou Christmas plate a try and ended up stamping with it using BarryM Gold... :) This plate is really awsome, I think I need more MoYou's in my life..

Oh, and for the accent nail, I used a generous coat of Pahlish Pianos Filled with Flames, a lovely red and gold glitter in a sheer pink/red base... It think it needs a wear on its own... :)

Christmas Package from Sweden!!!

Warning!!! Contains lots of photos!!!


You know I belong to an international swap group. It will be a year in January since I joined. I have to say, I've found really nice friends there. We are a drama free, small sized group and we share other things as well, other than nail polish. We share happy moments, we share sorrows... Honestly, this group has been the best thing that's ever happened since I joined Facebook... I want to thank our admins and all the members for making this possible... :)

Anyway, we decided to go "big" for Christmas, and skipped November, so we could make a package twice as big for Christmas...

Annnnddd, my partner was Camilla from Sweden! Check out her blog! Doesn't she have the nicest nails???? And you must remember her from this awsome guest post she did for me!!!! I still read it when I need a little laugh!!!

Anyway, this was a Secret Santa kind of deal and we had a month of asking and answering about each other, in order to send the best package ever...

Which is....

Ta daaaaa!!!!

If you want to see the rest, continue after the jump!
I "may" have taken a lot of photos, so beware... :)

GRFC Challenge - All I Want For Christmas

Hi!

Today is the 7th day of Getting Ready For Christmas Challenge and today we are revealing our wishlists!!! Sorry, no manis for today!!!

Since it is a wishlist, and since it is Christmas, I decided to reveal all the things I want under my tree (knowing that they won't be there)... :(

Here we go, here is my dream team!!!

1) All the Zoya polish that is available on the website. You may skip the ones I already have, but I might ask for Pixie Dust backups... :P

2) All the Real Techniques make up brushes... Again, feel free to buy duplicates, I may need them for different colors...

3) Urban Decay Naked 1 - 2 - and 3!!! All of them!!!! :) :)

4) All the MoYou London plates available! I know that they release new plates every week, but the ones released untill today "might" be enough!!!

5) Speaking of plates, Winstonia is about to release a new series, so you may add them as a stocking filler.... :)

6) And finally, new Konad plates and the Konads I don't have may be a nice present... :)

So, there you go! My secret wishlist revealed!

Now I have to wait untill Christmas to find out if I've been naughty or nice... :D



Tell me, which of these would you like to find under your tree?

GRFC Challenge - Snowflakes Manicure

Yay!!! Snowflakes!!!!

Today the challenge for Getting Ready For Christmas is Snowflakes!!!!

I love snow! We seem to have less and less snow each year in Istanbul. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, because honestly, in such a big city, sometimes snow just pauses the life! And the melting stage!!! Oh, don't ever get me started on that...

Anyway, I still love snow and the white cover and how it hides anything and everything ugly and just brings its own beauty...

Sooooo, for today;

here are the polishes I used... I used the first four to make a gradient. They are Yes Love K028, K034, Kiko 339 and Flormar Supermatte M103...

After the gradient, I stamped the snowflakes... I used Konad m59 and some from the full image of BM323. Stamping polish was Essence Stampy White.

Finally I added some Model's Own Blizzard and I was finished...

A soft and glittery look I was trying to find was on my nails... :) I really enjoyed this mani. I just wish cleaning up the blue was not that hard.... Although I tried to do my best, you can still see some blue shadows in the pictures... :(

That's all for today...

See you on day 7!!!!
