A short look back on to the Christmas Challenge

Hey there! :D 

Hope you had a great time so far with your family and loved ones, and that Santa brought you some great presents ;) 

I put all the challenges in one photo and I also created a page with all the photos with a link back to their original post ;) (It's up there next to my Stash List and all the other stuff ;) )

See ya ! ;) 

Christmas Challenge Day 24 - Favorite Manicure

The last challenge .. I can't believe it's over. I had really fun doing all this designs, although sometimes it was hard doing Nail Art everyday :P I'm so glad I joined this challenge, because I improved my Nail Art skills and I found some nice ladies, who also did this cool Christmas Challenge :) It was really worth it! 

Today we had to recreate our favorite manicure from all the 23 themes and I didn't have to think a lot about it: I chose Snowflakes ;) But I didn't do the same version as last time, instead I chose the design that Copy That, Copy Cat did some while ago :)

 I chose China Glaze - Ruby Pumps as a base instead of a blue one, cause it's more Christmassy that way :P
For the tips I used: S-he 471 (silver), Farmasi 79 (little silver glitter) and Essence - Julia (big glitter). 

It was a really hectic day today, so I didn't had the time to do all nails with snowflakes, but I really like how that looks too :)
I'm so glad I can keep this design on my nails for as long as I want to, cause I don't have to do another challenge tomorrow :P I will keep it on, til it chips and I hope that won't be too soon :D

If you didn't visit these blogs til now, make sure to do it! They all did a great job in this cool challenge:  

Paint That Nail, Steffi, Jessica, Salpi, Shannara, Kirshten, Kelly, Lexi Martone and Kaki.
I will really miss seeing all the different interpretations of 1 theme everyday, cause it was fun and interesting! ;)

I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Enjoy your free time with your loved ones and may Santa bring you many great presents! :D

Christmas Challenge Day 23 - Santa

Last theme in this challenge! Cause tomorrow we can recreate our favorite challenge :P

Santa kinda looks scared :P But I still like him ;)
I used: Avon - Ruby Slippers, P2 - Flirt & Tease, P2 - Hyper and Art de Lautrec Black and White.
Can't wait to do tomorrow's mani :D

Check these ladies and their Santa's out:

Christmas Challenge Day 22 - Elf

Hello everybody! :)

Thank you all for your awesome comments on all the Christmas posts, each and every comment made me smile :) 

Today I have a little Elf for you, who is a little bit shy, that's why he just sneaks a peek at all of you ;) 

I used: Catrice - Run Forest Run! (as a base), O.P.I Fresh Frog of Bel Air (for the tips), Safari Green (ring finger), P2 - Flirt & Tease (face), P2 - Hyper (hair) and Golden Rose 158 over Catrice RFR (for the hat).

Christmas Challenge Day 21 - Reindeer / Rudolph

♫ Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose, 
and if you ever saw it 
you would even say it glows ♫

This song is stuck in my head ever since I started painting Rudolph on my nails :D  And here are the cute little fellas:

I used P2 - Flirt & Tease as a base, Sensique - 139, China Glaze - Ruby Pumps for the nose and some basic white and black polish for the details.
I got the idea from The Nailasaurus! The minute I saw them on her blog I knew I had to recreate them :)

Christmas Challenge Day 20 - Sleigh/Sled

Day 20 already! Only 4 more days and Santa brings us presents ;) 

For today I had a great idea, but it was really hard to paint it on the nails :P 

I know... the Reindeer on my index looks like a crazy rabbit and the on on my middle finger looks like a dog with really big ears =)))) But I like the one on my ring finger ;) And since I couldn't paint a whole Reindeer on my little finger I decided to paint a roof with a chimney and smoke. Aaaaand on my thumb I did the sleigh and Santa, here is a close up: 

Just ask if you wanna know any of the colors, I'm too lazy to list them all up :P 

Make sure to visit these ladies too!

Christmas Challenge Day 18 - Stockings

I had no idea what to paint on my nails for this theme ... and I don't like what I did in the end with them either. :P Not my favorite theme, that's for sure..I mean, come on! Who puts socks on their nails ?!

But I rediscovered one of my favorite red polishes: P2 - Charismatic. I used it for the Santa hats as well, you'll see that later ;)

Christmas Challenge Day 17 - Tinsel/Garland

Tinsel and/or Garland .. I chose Tinsel :P 

I used a green background, representing the tree and silver/red tinsel, since my Christmas Tree this year is decorated with this colors ;) 

I should have added some glitter to it :P Well, too late ;) I used Aden - 86 , P2 - Glamour and P2 - Charismatic.
And here is my Christmas Tree, I love it! It looks so good and sparkly in real life, but the camera won't show it.....damn you! :P

I'm slowly catching up with the Challenge :D

Christmas Challenge Day 13 + Day 14 - Christmas Tree with Ornaments :)

I'm sorry, that I missed one day, but I had so much to do yesterday for the university. Only 2 more days and it's over and then...vacation! :D Yes ;) 

Luckily for me the theme's for these 2 days are easy to combine: Christmas Tree and Ornaments ;) 

And here are my nails:

 I love the Christmas tree! The angel ornament didn't turn out like I wanted to, but it's alright :) I used Aden 86 (as a base and for the tree) and on the ring finger I used Avon - Red Velvet as a base. If you wanna know any of the other colors I used, feel free to ask ;)

The green polish bubbled like crazy on my index finger.. idk why, it never happened before with this one. Oh well, it had a bad day :D

Take a look at all the beautiful trees and ornaments on these ladies nails:

Christmas Challenge Day 11 - Wreaths

Hello to my old and new followers!

Since my test was today (it went ok :D), I didn't had the time and energy to do today's theme on all my nails .. I didn't even change the base color :D So here is a cute accent nail: 

I like it, especially the little bow... I love cute bows :D 

I used S-he 320 as a base and Catrice - Run Forest Run for the wreath. I topped it with a green Golden Rose glitter and little shimmery dots (P2 - Divine). For the bow I used Sally Hansen - Brick Wall.

Go visit the blogs of these gorgeous ladies to see more cute little wreaths!

Christmas Challenge Day 9 - Red & Green

It's Friday!! Finally :D I still have a test on Sunday (yes, you heard right, on SUNDAY!) but still ;) 

Today's theme was a bit difficult...why? Because it's rather vague. I asked my readers what I could do with red and green polish and one of them said: a mistletoe!  Thank you for that idea, FrugallyMe ! :) 

I kept it simple, so here is my Red & Green Mani: 

I used: Avon Ruby Slippers as a base (@MissDoll: a little preview from your requested swatch), Aden - 86 (green), Nail Collection Matte in White for the dots and Essence - Golden Sands for the little bow.  

Simple but cute :) 

I'm really curious about the designs these ladies came up with :D
