The 12 Days of Xmas Challenge Day 1 - Presents!

Hello everyone! Hope you're all having a great weekend! So its the first day of December and therefore its time to get festive. I am completing two Xmas challenges this month, and today marks the start of the 12 Days of Xmas challenge being hosted by Nail Art Novice. Here's how the challenge breaks down: 



So the prompt for Day 1 is Presents. Who doesn't love a sparkly wrapped gift? I painted each of my nails with a different colour glitter (Ciate Glass Slipper on my little finger and thumb, Color Club Tru Passion on the ring finger, Color Club Object of Envy on the middle finger and Models Own Magenta Divine on my index finger. I then started the bows with LA Colors French White, added a little detail with Nail Essentials Silver Shimmer. I topped  it all off with Seche Vite and finished with 3d bows.





I'll be back with a Snowy/Winter themed mani for you on Tuesday, but in the meantime follow the links below to check out all the other early painted Xmas presents :)

    1. Thanks Amanda! Getting the bows to stay lined up while the top coat dried wasn't my favourite thing, but they turned out well so it was all worth it :)

    1. Thanks Emma - it is a lovely colour. I usually avoid the Ciate glitters as they smell so bad, but I can't stay away from that one!!! :) xx
