Snowflakes!

'Tis the season for snowflakes! Not here in Louisiana, but certainly on my nails.

I started off with two coats of Ulta Mint Condition. The application was good and it went on very smooth. Please excuse the little imperfections. I did this mani Monday and that night was crazy.

Next I layered Body Luxury Cream Shimmer over top. I wanted some subtle shimmer with my background. I got this polish in a set. All of them are nice. Not the best, but nice for layering. I found them at Burlington in a set of six for five dollars.

Finally I stamped on snowflakes with the BM14 plate using Love My Nails Angel. The effect is very subtle, though more noticeable in person. I really liked wearing these snowflakes. 

There is a little wear and tear on this polish already in the pictures. As I mentioned before Monday was crazy. Before adding the snowflakes, I had to go move boxes, so my damp polish got pushed slightly away from the tips.

Green for Depression Awareness

Sorry I am so late posting this mani. I did it Monday night, but was exhausted so I decided it could wait until Tuesday. But I had a clumsy moment that morning with ended painfully, so I was in no mood to blog by the time a full day of work was over. But I am posting it now. And who says a Monday mani has to be posted on Monday?

October is Depression Awareness Month. This is something very important to me considering its something both my mother and I have dealt with most of our lives. More people should be aware of the effects depression has on a person.

I went with something subtle. Shimmer, polka dots, and a green awareness ribbon. Sorry for only having one picture. The rest were useless.

I painted Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet on all of my fingers. Then on my thumbs and middle fingers, I added a coat of Body Luxuries Green Shimmer. That's not actually the name of this polish. The set has no names. I also did the dots on my index and pinky fingers in this polish. Then I painted a ribbon with Sinful Colors San Francisco.

I like the way this turned out. The ribbon just pops since the other colors are lighter.
