Christmas Challenge - Tinsel



Happy Christmas Eve! Can you believe it's Christmas tomorrow? The time has gone by so quickly I can't believe it's already here!










So for my staff christmas party I wore this homemade glitter polish and I thought it reminded me of the red and green tinsel I used to have and would decorate EVERYTHING with it. With my move from England I have yet to locate the tinsel but decided to use it for todays challenge! The polish is SO sparkly it was hard to photograph.





At first I was going to just keep it as it was but decided to try adding some tree green around the tinsel to give it more of a tinsel shape and feel. Normally I would have painted the green on first I just really didn't want to go through the hassle of taking off the glitter polish (which incidently came off pretty easily) to just put it back on again.

Christmas trees!


So it is day 1 of the 12 days of christmas challenge and the theme is chistmas trees! So here are mine!


I tried to stamp them with a Bundle Monster plate but all my green polishes failed at stamping so I free handed them with a toothpick! At first they looked a little messy but with a few lights I think they look recognisable and I am reasonably happy with them!
The silver on the tips is A England's Merlin, it is the first time I've used it and I am amazed at how sparkly it is. My nails are catching the light all the time and you can even see the sparkle in the picture. Nice!

Not sure what I am going to do the next one.. will have to listen to more christmas songs to get inspired!
I cannot wait to see everyones trees :D
