Christmas Challenge Day 1 - Snowfall

It's December the 1st, that means the Challenge begins! :D As the title says, the theme for today is Snowfall. I'll try to keep it short, cause today is the Great Union Day, the national holiday in Romania and I will spend it with some friends. :)
So here is the base for my manicure:

I created a gradient with: Essence - I'm a Marine Girl (dark blue), Sensique - Lakier Sky Blue and P2 - Divine. I used a white base (Essence - Ahoy!) to make the colors pop more ;) As much as I love gradients, they never turn out great on my nails. The colors didn't blend that well together, and the cleaning up afterwards was a mess, but oh well, it still looks pretty. :) I tried to picture the dark night sky, the fog and the snow-covered ground. All the colors I used are shimmers and it looks beautiful in real life, but it doesn't show on the pictures... maybe a little bit on the second picture? :P

And for the falling snow I just used the same white, that I used as a base and added random sized dots all over the nails.

 It does look like snow, doesn't it ? :D 

I can't wait to see all the other designs of these lovely ladies that joined the Challenge:

Kaki, Steffi, Salpi, Shannara, Kirshten and of course paint that nail, who started all this :D

(These are just the ones I know, I'm sure there are a lot of other bloggers that joined :P)

So much for "keeping it short" =)))

See ya tomorrow with another frosty manicure ;)
