The 12 Days of Xmas Challenge Day 2 - Snow/Winter

Hello everyone! Today I have my second mani for the 12 Days of Xmas challenge and the theme for today is Snow/Winter. 

 The timing of this prompt was perfect as I have just received my annual order of snowflake nail stickers from Nailtopia! As my daughter is getting older (still only 7 though!), I usually end up doing her nails, and all of her friends' nails too before Xmas - snowflakes are always a big hit so I ordered in bulk this year, and decided to have a dress rehearsal on myself!

 I started with a base of Barry M Navy (such a beautiful deep blue!) and then added a coat of Nubar White Polka Dot to add a little depth. Once dry, I added the white snowflake stickers with tweezers and then topped with Seche Vite to seal them in.




Its simple, but its effective! I added in a flash photo in at the end to try and show what a stunning colour that blue actually is. I've been on a no-buy for a while now and its making me go back to polishes that I had forgotten I had. Its almost as good as buying new polish! Almost... ;)

 The next prompt for this challenge is for a "Food" themed mani - I will be back with that in a couple of days. In the meantime, check out all the other participants' nails below :)

    'Navy' is one of my favourites too-it's such a gorgeous colour. Loving those stickers, they look really awesome over the background =)
