Rudolph with your nose so bright

Hi there guys!! Christmas Eve, how exciting. I have to say school killed my Christmas mood stone dead cause of all the work I had and just how generally rubbish school is. I LOVE Christmas but I haven't felt particularly Christmassy, though I know Christmas day will be great. I'm going to a carol service this evening so that should be nice, a gospel choir, awk it'll be fabulous.
I tried to post my Christmas nail designs over Christmas but lol I fail, expect to see one or two after Christmas. Then all the swatches, I am excited to finally swatch polishes I got in November and after :)

I did a reindeer design last year but I felt I should do another dedicated to Rudolph, the idea was his (or her, mine looks more like a her) nose was so bright that it lit up all the Christmas lights. Haha I was also trying out some new polishes. I do like the look overall but I think my lights could've been painted better (yet it translates better in photos and I'll take it) but Rudolph is alright. I like the glittered up nose.

I like the combo of the blue base and the glitter, I'll tell the "story" of how I got the blue polish (by the way it's not the Nails Inc one!! Pretty sure this one is a dupe, or close to it) and other polishes I got with it. The glitter was a wonderful wonderful gift from my best friend and she got me some others and it was the best gift ever, love her :3 I think was the combo was weird, but I liked it. Though removal was not a breeze, that's the thing with the packed with small glitter polishes, the glitter takes ages to come off and then it gets everywhere. But love both of those polishes.

Blue base: w7 - Mosaic
Once I've mentioned the other polishes I got with this I'll tell the "story", I got quite the deal and I love all the w7 polishes I got, they are fantastic.
Glitter: OPI - Lights Of Emerald City
How appropriate right? This was on my wishlist for the longest time until I managed to persuade myself that I didn't need it. But I really really like it, my bezzie is just the greatest. I hope she liked my present as much as I loved hers. Also if you knew how much we talk about Wicked you'd know how even more appropos it is :P
Red: Essie - E-Nuff Is E-Nuff
Yellow: Rimmel - Sunshine
Green: Rimmel - Block your Green!
Blue: Rimmel - Azure
White base for lights: Lovely Me:Ex - White
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
White: Barry M - Matt White
Brown: Nails Inc - Porchester Square
Dark Brown: w7 - Brownie
Red Nose: OPI - Dutch Tulips and the pink glitter from OPI - Minnie Style
Pink: Orly  - Basket Case


Thank you for reading and I hope you are very excited for tomorrow!! :)

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (and friends)

Hello there. Christmas is so unbelievably close, it's exciting. I'm pushing these Christmas designs for all their worth, but I love Christmas designs. I didn't even get to do them all :/ Well there's always next year, and I still have one more Christmas design to go (which hopefully will be pretty :)).

I'm happy with how these turned out, I thought they'd be difficult, but they weren't. I thought the background would be more prominent. It wasn't, I've been itching for pink, and this kind of satisfies the need. But not enough, I need to use a bright pink soon!!!
Light Brown: Nails Inc - Porchester Square
Dark Brown: w7 - Brownie
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
White: Lovely Me:Ex - White
Red: OPI - Dutch Tulips
Pink: Essie - Your Hut Or Mine?, Barry M - Pink Iridescent and Nails Inc - Glamour Glitter 
I put too much enough into the base for it to be covered up, but you learn from these things. I'm liking Porchester Square even though it's totally not my colour at all.

                                                  I like them, they're cute :)

Thank you very much for reading and have a lovely day!!! :)
