GRFC Challenge - Christmas Party

Today is the final day of Getting Ready For Christmas Challenge! I really enjoyed doing this Challenge. And I'm kind of sad that it is over!!!

I want to thank Elsa for hosting GRFC and hoping that she'll come up with a new fun challenge anytime soon... :) :)

Well, for today, the theme is Christmas Party... I don't think red looks good on me, so I picked a black outfit for this night... LOL :)

Here is Models Own Obsidian from the Velvet Goth Collection. It is a black jelly based tiny silver glitter with hexagonal holographic glitter as well. It dries to a semi-matte finish, which I did not like so I used a coat of SV over it... :)

As for the accent nail; I've been wanting to use the BM420 for a long time, and this was an excuse... Unfortunately the image was a little big on the sides for my nail... So I taped the edges of my nail and renewed the black lines of the tuxedo with a striper brush and black polish. Oh, and the base is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls... :)

Soooo, that concludes the challenge!!!

And here's the roundup of my entires!!!

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... :)
